The Colonial Government was the ruling government on Enroth before and shortly after the Silence. They used Heavenly Forges to generate powerful artifacts. Around the time of the Silence, the ruling governor was known as Padish, and he and his highest military officers wore Majestic Chain Mails as badges of office.
When the nation of Vissias was destroyed by Mayor Alan of Aliant using one of the weapons of the Ancients, the Colonial Government pleaded with their masters for help, but the Ancients never replied, and seemed to have abandoned the planet. This event became known as the Silence. Without their guidance, the Heavenly Forges slowly began to break down.
In the first century AS, rebel forces began to test the governor's forces. The Colonial Government used the Heavenly Forges to produce equipment by the hundreds to fight the skirmishes and supply raids, but in the end the rebels were victorious and the government fell.
