The years 1007 and 1008 were marked by conflicts between the imperial supporters of the True Faith and those who bore allegiance to chaos. During the winter, a sign that the Empire was falling into chaos, the calamities of the Return of the Damned swept through Haldorf's armies, preventing him from taking part in the civil war in the rest of the Empire. After the fall of Vassouras in Dalabheim, the entire court of Haldorf was invited to Brahma for the coronation of Hubert of Haldorf by the Manus Dei Théobald of Lavignac during a ceremony with great pomp. The new King and his province became officially independent. The Circle of the Rose, the Royal Lily, the Order of the Lion and the Holy Order of the Templars, who were installed in Haldorf pledged allegiance to the good King. A delegation from Arganne also welcomed this coronation and spoke of good neighborliness and even building a bridge. No one in Haldorf suspected that a year later, Arganne would prove to be deceitful and a traitor to their word.

The Arganne Federation comes from the union of the provinces of Arganne and Haldorf. During the Arganne invasions of Haldorf in 1009, King Tod conquered Haldorf. The provinces united to form the Federation in 1010. In 1018, following the independence of the province of Dinant from Andore, the free Dinant chose to join the Federation.
