6th century

The 6th century is the period from 500 to 599 AGS. This century began with the expansion of the newly established Telehe empire in Kóty, which continued to expand and remained the dominant political power for several centuries thereafter. In Oksandanderi, the Walkenian invasions of the lowlands prompted the formation of the Yarlaganda Empire. It was also a formative period for Maicqa society.
