The Rise and Fall of the Cajia Kingdom

The Rise and Fall of the Cajia Kingdom is a work of historical analysis written and published in the Kingdom of Jasfeya in the year 160 TT by Fromachia Iri-Gastachia and Namechi Jifanche. It analyses the history of the Cajia Kingdom from its founding in 820 TT (Caseic Calendar: C731) to its fall in 312 TT (Caseic Calendar: 252). Since it was written before the Grand Calming, the book uses the old Caseic calendar. The most commonly used edition, as of 18 PC, is the Modern Edition, published by the Bariyesa Print House in 12 PC. The Modern Edition is largely true to the original text, but converts the dates from the old Caseic calendar to the modern post-calming calendar. In addition to converting the dates, the Modern Edition also contains a large preface detailing the context of the original publishing and the changes made through previous editions.

The Modern Edition is divided into five volumes:

Vol. 1: The Foundation and Rise of the Cajia Kingdom (820 TT - 741 TT)

Vol. 2: The Expansion of the Cajia Kingdom (741 TT - 493 TT)

Vol. 3: The Technological Development of the Cajia Kingdom (820 TT - 312 TT)

Vol. 4: Interactions between the Cajia Kingdom, the Chacya Kingdom, and the Nacha Republic (820 TT - 312 TT)

Vol. 5: The Decline, Fall, and Subsequent Division of the Cajia Kingdom (493 TT - 312 TT)

Criticism

Of the book in general

Many Framjist historians and scholars describe the book as a biased account of history which exaggerates the size, importance, and influence of the Cajia Kingdom. Academics within the Kingdom of Jasfeya describe these critics as biased historians who exaggerate the size, importance, and influence of the Chacya Kingdom.

Of the Modern Edition in particular

Many older scholars dislike the modern post-calming calendar and consider the conversion of the dates to be unpatriotic against the Federation
