The following timeline encompasses the entirety of the history and creation
kitdi ikit ta, pronounced kiːtdiː ˈiːkiːt tɑ in Tahi, means the origin of men. Awakening on Capital Island next to Laath Lake, surrounded by marshes, King Hal Haab and his fellow humans (10 pairs), with the guidance of the Supreme-Being Valikar, began to build a civilisation on the island.
In the year 1000, King Hal Haab built a fleet of boats; sailing South, they came across what the King would call The Island of Andal. Building a small settlement called Annd (what would later be known as the Ruin Coast of Annd), over the next 500 years, the Island of Andal would see the construction of the Town of Estif, the Manor of Kings, and the Keep of Andal Island.
In the year 1800AoM, King Hal Haab's fleet was attacked by the fleet of King Tankuuthwar in the Islets of Hal while King Hal's ships were sheltering from a storm. Due to King Tankuuthwar's superior ships, King Hal's fleet was utterly destroyed. This was the first recorded military conflict between humans; with these events, began the First War of the Two Kings.
In the days leading up to the Battle of the Bay of Andula, both King Hal Haab and King Tankuuthwar gathered their navies. The men and ships of the Capital Island of Hal Haab readied themselves to defend their homeland, while King Tankuuthwar's forces prepared to launch an attack on the island. The morning of the battle saw the two opposing fleets sail out from their respective ports. King Hal Haab, who had taken charge of the defense of his island's coast, was at the forefront of his navy. His flagship, adorned with the coat of arms of Hal Haab, was a sight to behold. It was a large ship with billowing sails, manned by a skilled crew and equipped with formidable weaponry. The King himself stood at the helm, his face set in determination. On the other side of the bay, King Tankuuthwar's navy advanced. The men aboard his ships were equally determined, though their ships were not as grand as those of Hal Haab's fleet. Nevertheless, they were determined to conquer the Capital Island, no matter the cost. The two navies clashed in the Bay of Andula, their ships colliding with a loud crash. The sound of metal against metal and the screams of the dying echoed across the water. King Hal Haab's ships maneuvered with expert precision, their sailors trained to fight on the sea. They unleashed a barrage of arrows and other projectiles, taking down many of King Tankuuthwar's men. King Tankuuthwar himself was leading the charge from the front of his navy. His ship was smaller than Hal Haab's flagship, but it was still an impressive vessel. He ordered his men to board Hal Haab's ships, hoping to take control of them from within. But the men of Hal Haab were ready for such an attack. They fought back fiercely, using swords, axes, and any other weapon they could get their hands on. The battle raged on for hours, with neither side gaining a clear advantage. But King Hal Haab's navy slowly began to push back King Tankuuthwar's forces. Their skill and training proved too much for the invaders. Hal Haab's ships began to surround those of the enemy, cutting off their escape routes. King Tankuuthwar saw that his defeat was imminent. He ordered his remaining ships to retreat, but it was too late. The ships of Hal Haab's navy had them surrounded, and they were unable to escape. One by one, Tankuuthwar's ships were boarded and taken over by Hal Haab's forces. When the battle finally ended, the sea was filled with the wreckage of destroyed ships and the bodies of the dead. The victory was King Hal Haab's, but it had come at a heavy cost. His navy had lost ten ships, and five thousand men had been killed in the battle. King Tankuuthwar's losses, however, were far greater. All but one of his fifty-five ships had been destroyed, and almost twenty-seven thousand of his men had been killed. The news of the battle spread quickly across the land, and Hal Haab was hailed as a hero. His victory had saved the Capital Island from invasion, and his bravery and leadership had inspired his men to fight to the death. The Battle of the Bay of Andula would go down in history as one of the greatest naval battles of all time, a testament to the courage and determination of the men who fought in it.
King Hal Haab hosted King Tankuuthwar at the Manor of Kings on the Island of Andal for peace talks. Lasted 5 days, the peace accords would result in the establishment of permanent properties in Gull's Perch and Haaled Hoose Fortress to serve as neutral places of communication between the two kingdoms. Additionally, King Tankuuthwar would gift King Hal Haab one of his crown jewels (a giant gem) as compensation for the losses suffered by King Hal.
Prince Uda Haab in the year 1899 devised a method to take advantage of the rules by manipulating magic within an already living being; Prince Uda used the magic gained from the Realm of Contrast to imbue a being with significant amounts of magic, then drain that magic from the being and enrich his own magic reserves. In the majority of cases this would severely wound or kill the being that was the target of his magic. This magic technique is called Blood Magic.
Prince Uda Haab built the Pyramid of Naab in the Western Wood of the Capital Island of Hal Haab.
The Battle of Western Wood was the final battle in the Second War of the Two Kings; involving 5,000 men on both sides, the battle ended with the death of Prince Yedne, son of King Tankuuthwar, at the hands of Prince Hea Haab, son of King Hal Haab.
On the borders of Siksef Forest at the foot of Haaled Hoose Fortress plateau, Prince Uda Haab and his company of 10,000 men fought against the forces of King Tankuuthwar and his company of 14,000 men.
The Age of Elves was the period of time that saw the Elven Kingdoms develop, becoming entities of their own with the capacity for affluence and military campaigns
Tete ta Ftihdib, pronounced ˈtɛtɛ tɑ ˈftiːhdiːb in Tahi, means the Birth of Dwarves. 10 couples offered to undergo the process of soul manipulation; over a period of 500 years, each couple was transfigured by Prince Hedfa Haab with help from Valikar from men to proto-men, later to be named 'haki kehut' in Tahi, al yen in Fadda, funde lǐrǔ in Yǎknǔian or Dwarves.
Working in tandem with the Kingdom of Linyariel (Evening Star), Lord Elaris Sylthienlor took the area that would become Gita Momufo | Gethirien from indigenous lesser elves, slaughtering all the male elves, leaving only the female elves and children alive. The survivors were escorted to Gufa Guda and put into boats being told to never come back again.
The High-King Hia Nefe of the Elves declared the Council of Aristocrats rebels and summoned his troops to war against them.
The Battle of Irithelon: A Pivotal Clash in the Elven War for Autonomy Background: The Battle of Irithelon stands as a watershed moment in the Elven War for Autonomy, a conflict that pitted the High-King's forces against the united armies of the Council of Aristocrats. Irithelon, a strategically significant region, became the battleground where the fate of elven autonomy would be decided.
High-King Hia Nefe was on the verge of crushing the rebel Kingdoms when his daughter murdered him in his tent on the battlefield the night before.
The murder of Queen Yeffeg Heyuyi and her son Lord Unbab Gdeyaga Heyuyi was an act committed by the House of Babaheg
The kin-slaying of the Royal House of Elyndoras was a political event in the City of Evening Star that involved the murder of many members of the Elyndoras family, Gegbi family, and other aristocratic families of Evening Star.
By the dawn of the Age of Building, Dwarves, Elves, and humans had developed technologies to undertake mining, crafting and construction all independent of one another.
Creating an alliance with Queen Graethumara of Elisdrithefaelior, and King Elovarien Guda of the Gifda Hyage - Island of Light, in 50500, Queen Mirelleth Elyndoras would invade the Dwarven Kingdom of Dorvathar. In the aftermath of the War of Elven Aggression, Mirelleth Elyndoras was released back to her Kingdom with the strict agreement that she would never set foot in dwarven lands again. Queen Byeyfi Bihe was given the Fortress of Korvishokhur, and King Elovarien Guda was given governorship of Sngunti En.
High-Queen Gipiu Nefe believed that the Dwarves were growing too powerful behind their mountain ranges and stone walls. Dwarves had managed to master the growing of Elder Seed. Threatening the Elves ability to undertake trade in return for raw materials, High-Queen Gipiu Nefe thought that her only options was war to assert the Elves position.
High-Queen Klǎpwǐ Flinda Dinggǎ was summoned to the Acropolis by the King of Men, King Hal Haab. The charges were using a dragon (Katatu aka) to execute a fellow High-Queen, Gipiu Nefe. The High-Queen stated she did not know that the Queen had been in the castle, had she known, she would not have destroyed it with Katatu aka. Recognising her honesty, High-Queen Klǎpwǐ Flinda Dinggǎ was sentenced to death, with her crown to pass to her daughter, Muzovwigǎ Ngoti Flinda Dinggǎ. Additionally, it was mandated that dragons may not be used in war as they present the aggressors with the ability to annihilate another. This edict would be enforced by King Hal Haab and his descendants until the end of time.
As a message to all royalty among all races, Dwarven High-Queen Klǎpwǐ Flinda Dinggǎ was executed at The Great Fortress of Kekta Bandu by Prince Hedfa Haab in the presence of many monarchs, including the High-Queen's daughter and heir, Princess Muzovwigǎ Ngoti Flinda Dinggǎ. The execution was conducted using the Blood Magic Technique, draining the High-Queen of her life-force, but leaving her body untouched. Her life-force was gifted to her daughter as compensation for loss. Little did they know that would be a decision they would regret.
High-Queen Muzovwigǎ Ngoti Flinda Dinggǎ invited Queen Gigaga Heyuyi, King Hal Haab, King Hibig Guda, and the Stewart of the Capital City of Fem me ke Ice Heart to receive crown jewels in recognition of their friendship with The Dwarven Kingdom of Dorvathar.
The Age of Fire and Blood owes its name to the conflict between the Humans, Elves, and Dwarves and the Elementals and Dragons/Drakes. Fought primarily on territorial grounds, the conflict was triggered when dragons in the Western Stretches emerged from volcanic mountains in the South West. Together, the Humans, Elves and Dwarves confronted some 50+ dragons and hundreds of Elementals in the greatest battle up till that time. Magic would allow the Alliance to triumph; with the deaths of over 50% of the populations of all the races, and 90% of the dragons, the dragons and elementals were driven back. Never again were dragons allowed to attack the creations of The One without cause; the One endowed them with intelligence and sentience that allowed them to communicate.
The Great War of Men and Dwarves was instigated by King Hal Haab in retaliation for the The House of Blorsa limiting resources to the Men of the Capital Islands of Hal Haab. Comprising of several battles and conflict across one hundred years, the war would end up with the death of King Hal Haab, and the decline of Men as a power in the Stretches.
The Battle for the Ruul Valley was fought in the Fortress Town of Ruul between the armies of the Elves of Momufo, the Dwarves of Kekta Bandu & Gofohu, and the Dragons of Finggu Ransu fi Pakne. Fought over the course of four days, the armies of the Elves and Dwarves successfully pushed back the dragons with both sides receiving considerable losses.
The First Age saw the expansion of the Elves into Dwarven settled lands; this culminated in the war between the steadfast Dwarves of the Northern Province, and the Elves of the Western Stretches that settled in the Northern Province a few thousand years before; they build the great Elven City of Elder Fort. Fire burned and blood ran, the scale was terrible; the act that closed the First Age and dawned the Second was the inference of Wrathnors Will upon the region. The creation of Brightwater River divided the region, and the death of most of the Dwarven dragons brought an end to the fighting. From that point onwards the Supreme Beings would not interfere directly again.
The Town of Liv Grama was established by Das Grama to the extreme South of Kekta Bandu in a valley to the East of Hagle Blorsa
King Das Grama of the City of Liv Grama is wounded in battle sustaining severe injuries. The King loses an eye, a leg, and an arm; he survives through the skill of his healer, Lady Feyfib Heyuyi.
The Prince-Consort Faf Grama of the Kingdom-City of Liv Grama establishes the Liv Grama Council of Free Peoples; it operates as a legislative body that collaborates with the Office of the King of the Kingdom-City of Liv Grama.
Prince-Consort Faf Grama oversees the Peace Accords of the Second Elven War of Aggression
King Das Grama's efforts in fighting the Great Forest Fire of Liv Grama resulted in his death a year later; he had ruled the City-Kingdom of Liv Grama for 217 years, a relatively short reign for a Dwarven King. At the time of his death, King Das Grama was 823 years old.
The Elves broke through the South-Eastern wall of the Gates of Fi Ka, marching undetected through the Forest of Ngova fi Dinta, passing between the Foothills of Munla to the South and the Mountain Ranges of Hagle Blorsa to the South. With an army of 20,000 Elves, the Elven force made siege to the City-Kingdom of Liv Grama, destroying all settlements and resources outside of the City Walls. The Elves would set up for a long siege by setting up camp, gathering food sources, and protecting their Northern backing by intercepting all Dwarven allies heading for Liv Grama. The Elves would also intercept all messages headed for the other Dwarven Kingdoms, creating a secretive siege that would last for over 2 years; skirmishes would occur between the two forces, with the Elves using their siege weapons to devastate the City's infrastructure. During this sustained siege of the City, the Elves were puzzled by the resilience of the City's population; it confused them as to how the City was able to sustain such destruction for so long. At the conclusion of the second year of occupation, Liv Grama was ready to retaliate.
After 2 years of siege and regional occupation by Elven forces, and the failure of diplomacy between the Elves and the City Kingdom of Liv Grama, the patience of King Faf Grama, Hero of the Dwarves, had worn out. King Faf Grama mustered his family dragon with the intent to conclude the siege; prior to this moment, it was impossible for King Faf to use his dragon as the Elves had engines that could kill dragons. With the destruction of those war machines, King Faf mounted his dragon and laid waste to the Elven army. It is thought only 5,000 Elven troops survived, with all 100 of the Elvish Nobility being slaughtered in dragon fire. With no leadership left, and stranded in a foreign land, the 5,000 Elvish survivors surrendered to King Faf personally. Reparations of the Third War of Elven Aggression would be harsh, King Faf demanded the enslavement of all Elven survivors of the War, with the option of family members to pay ransoms for the return of their Kin; Ownership of all treasure and equipment the Elves had brought with them and plundered during the 2 years of conflict; and the payment of 10,000,000 Gold Pieces as payment for suffering sustained by the Peoples of Liv Grama.
King Faf of Liv Grama, Hero of the Kingdoms establishes the first 'Festival of Fire' to celebrate the victory over the Elves in the Third War of Elven Aggression in 78803FA
The Elven Armies march on, and siege the City of Liv Grama. Mustering host of 40,000 troops, the Elves are able to fully blockade Liv Grama off from the rest of the Dwarven Region. With no dragons to defend themselves, the King Das-Faff orders the withdrawal of the civilian population into the catacombs and shelters built under the City in the boundaries of the City walls. King Das-Faff attempts to send messages to the Dwarven High King of Kekta Bandu; no help comes for 3 years.
The High King of Kekta Bandu sentences King Das-Faff of Liv Grama to death for the crime of conspiring to kill his King (former King Wru-Das Grama) and the killing of family members (Prince Rhett Grama & Supreme Justice Prince Dav-Das Grama). The charges of regicide and kin-slaying were levied against King Das-Faff and was found guilty, and sentenced to death. His execution was carried out on the 14/06/79901FA.
An Age of stagnation for Elves and Dwarves, the Second Age saw the flourishing of Men; established throughout the Northern Islands, when volcanoes destroyed their capital island, King Hal Haab ventured to the East. Establishing themselves across a half-dozen islands and anointing a new Capital island, Man became the single most advanced race in the world. This Age saw the advance of Airships, cannon and war machines; it also saw the fleeing of the last Dwarven High King from Fuste Fortress, building a strong base in the Eastern Islands with the aid of King Hal Haab. With the absence of the High King, Elves moved into the Northern Region and assimilated into the political system the Dwarves used. The Second Age ended when the settlement of the Dwarven High King and control of the Northern Province by the Elves had been completed.
