The Anipheonid dynasty, also known as the Tenth Dynasty, was an Al-Antidian family from the western region of the Imperial Mainland and a legitimate branch of the Eight Dynasty which came to hold the Alluvial Throne after deposing the Clotean dynasty at the end of the Fourth War of Righteousness. Its founder was Anipheon the Younger, who was the second and youngest son of Divine Sovereign Anipheon IX, having survived the rebellion of Cloteias by hiding away within the Temporal Mainframe with several loyalists.
