Galifar Wynarn is born in Karrnath.
History of Thrane
Thrane was one of the original Five Nations founded by the human settlers of Khorvaire; the culture and heritage of the region goes back millennia. It was absorbed into the Kingdom of Galifar and remained a pillar of that celebrated kingdom for almost a thousand years. While the rest of the Five Nations followed the tenets of the Sovereign Host, a new religion found life in Thrane before spreading far and wide across Khorvaire. In the wake of the Last War, Thrane stands as a theocracy devoted to the Silver Flame.

The Year of Blood and Fire
Disaster / DestructionThe overlord Bel Shalor is partially released from his bonds, and fiends terrorize Thrane. One night in Olarune of 298 YK, the settlers and farmers of Thrane saw dark clouds gathering over the Tamor Hills. A ruddy glow rose from a fissure in the hills. Those who explored the chasm did not return. As months passed, fiends and bloodthirsty beasts crawled out of the fissure and threatened the land. The Year of Blood and Fire was a time of great terror, but it was also a time of inspiration. The holy warrior Tira Miron gathered priests and soldiers to fight against the darkness. Armed with a singular vision, she ultimately confronted the evil forces within the Tamor Gap, binding their fiendish lord and transforming its dark flame to a font of silver light. Through her sacrifice, she became a spiritual vessel for the Silver Flame, a conduit through which it could touch the souls of others.

The Destruction of Shadukar
Disaster / DestructionKarrnathi soldiers stormed the city of Shadukar in 959 YK. The city’s defenders were not expecting a Karrn attack from Cyre, especially one accomplished using soarwood skiffs that could glide across the Brey River. The Karrnathi troops took control of the city in a matter of hours and held the city hostage for two years. During that time, they looted and pillaged what they could. They let Thranes die of famine and massacred entire families. They animated dead Karrns and Thranes to reinforce their dwindling ranks. Thrane forces from Flamekeep laid siege to the city, but they couldn’t punch through its defences. In 961 YK, the Karrns finally withdrew, burning the city to the ground as they left. The Knights of Thrane and their cleric allies were able to destroy the remaining undead and rid the city of its Karrnathi stench. However, the damage and loss of life was staggering (over 7,000 dead).

Battle of Cairn Hill
Military: BattleBreland’s high point, the occupation of formerly lost lands in Thrane, came to an end in 987 at the battle of Cairn Hill. General Nystrum Shadar of Thrane — later the spymaster of the realm and chief of the Argentum — defeated Breland and its allied Darguuls on the Fields of Rhone, just south of Cairn Hill. The Battle of Cairn Hill is remembered both for its size and because it was fought between two veteran and highly decorated armies. As a result, the intense fighting lasted four days before the Brelish and Darguun forces withdrew. They did so in good order, and, by direct order of the Keeper, the forces of Thrane declined to follow. This was later proclaimed a gallant gesture, but many say that Thrane’s army was so badly bloodied and exhausted that pursuit was nearly impossible. Breland tried to paint the Battle of Cairn Hill as a victory based on Thrane’s casualties, but the loss of Chydris (one of the first floating fortresses) and the sole presence of Thrane forces on the field of battle at the end belie that claim. The defeated armies retreated to Castle Rhonewatch and later to Lurching Tower.
