Savorah's Timeline

Undergoing a large overhaul

Proto Age

... 0

The formation of the world and the creatures that inhabit it. Much of the is information was recorded by the Dragons from what they were told from the Firstborn who was taught by the World Forger. Even the Dragons will say that the accounting of time is likely not fully accurate both because time doesn't mean much to Dragons and that it simply didn't exist as a concept back then.

    Creation of The Great Binding
    Celestial / Cosmic

    After convincing the Prime Elementals to use their planes as an anchoring point the World Forger used them to create the anchors of the Great Binding bringing stability to the planes by locking them in place so they could no longer intersect one an other.

    Creation of Belthuran
    Celestial / Cosmic

    As part of the plan from the World Forger they used the now formed Great Binding to siphon power from all the planes now locked into the binding which was being powered by the World Forger alone. The Prime Elementals worked together to cause the creation of the Material plane with further aid from the World Forger who tied the Great Binding into the Material plane, and at its very heart the world of Belthuran.

    The Primordial Purge
    Celestial / Cosmic

    The Primordial entities that ruled the chaos of what as existence became aware and opposed to the new order brought to what was previously chaos and from the start had tried to interfere but were repelled time and again by the World Forger. At this point the World Forger having transferred the burden of maintaining the Great Binding began to hunt and destroy those beings that would threaten his creation. With each Primordial entity slain the others grew more powerful and more aware of themselves, slowly starting the process of becoming the Gods.

    Firstborn and the Dragons are created
    Founding

    With the Primordial beings now purged or converted into the Gods the World Forger gave the Gods and the Prime Elementals the task of maintaining the Balance of the energies of the planes, that it required those from the Celestial and Profane fonts as well as those from Chaos and Order and that the first race to live upon the heart world of the Material plane should be the guardians of that balance.   While the Gods scrambled to find their portfolios and what fonts they would tie into the Prime Elementals created the first race to live on the world, the Dragons. This would be one of the last times the Prime Elementals would work together but from their efforts the Firstborn was created, followed soon enough by others.

    The Colossus Conflicts
    Military action

    The wars between the various types of giants and the cyclopses raged across the world focused mainly on what would become El Doriss which each faction thought was their birthright to rule over. This war has never truly ended though it has gone down in intensity after the end of the First Age.

  • -15000 BT

    -13556 BT


    Elemental Race Selection
    Founding

    This is when the Prime Elementals began to create races that reflected them, The Dwarves, The Meldarii becoming Anrasha, while fire stood behind the Dragons it did not choose any one race, and Air would wait until Humans became a species before selecting them.

  • -14000 BT

    -12000 BT


    The Earthen Kingdom
    Founding

    The Earthen Kingdom was led up by a Khelthad (Earth Gensai) with others like him, even earth elementals that chose to live on the material plane along with the dwarves and formed an empire in the World Below. This would prove to be one of the primary causes of the War Beneath as the Earthen Kingdom saught to expand throughout the World Below and reached very far before the Silencing.

    -13511 BT


    Extinction of the Meldarii
    Extinction

    As majority of the Meldarii were turned into Anrasha the remaining Meldarii were unable to sustain themselves with so few of their own left. Unable to help themselves they turned to the Dragons for aid and while a solution was found the Meldarii of old were no more at this point, those that survived becme the Mist Elves.

    The Wars Beneath
    Military action

    This is a time when many wars were fought in what was known as 'The World Below' a massive cavern system many miles below the surface where the dwarves and gnomes had begun to explore and come across many hostile creatures and some unknown races that they waged wars against for over 1500 years before s suddenly stopping.

  • -13400 BT

    -12554 BT


    Gnomes and Halflings
    Miscellaneous

    Gnomes and Halflings begin to appear along side the dwarves as cousin species, believed to be further creations of the Prime Elemental of Earth but on different aspects of it, the halflings loving nature grow plants in the soil, while the gnomes enjoy the wealth of the earth like others they are far less steadfast to tradition and quickly leave Hammerock to find their own place in the world.

  • -13400 BT

    -13250 BT


    The Mortal Empires form

    -12000 BT


    The Silencing
    Metaphysical / Paranormal event

    The event known as the Silencing marks the true end of the Wars Below and many scholars have theories about what happened but none can be certain. The leading theory is that the native races to the World Below reached out to the profane forces for aid in their wars, which was given so the dwarves and gnomes turned to celestial allies and at one battle in particular such dangerous magics were unleashed there was no winner as both sides perished leaving the World Below void of life.

  • -8000 BT

    -7850 BT


    The Elven Emancipation
    Founding

    This is when the Anrasha split into three groups of elves, the Anrasha, the Falsoree, and the Woldari. Many of the founding members of these groups were exiled from Etrisium and took their followers with them.

    The city of Nefra is founded and from there the country of Ormir is formed. Sulhaash Thureem Verakros is the orginial leader of Nefra and becomes the first Merchant Lord. There are many rumors as to who he was, one of the perhaps more wild ones is that Sulhaash Thureem Verakros is a Rakshasa and never died.

  • -3974 BT


    Escini forms
    Founding

    While humans, in particular mages had lived in Escini for some time they spent most of their time alone. Only at this point did they come together to pool their resources and work to better understand magic. Eis'Lasan is formed to be the seat of power.

    Orcish Plague
    Disaster / Destruction

    The Sunderer steals a plague from the Blightbringer and twists it to form the orcs, they worship the Sunderer through their random acts of wanton destruction and breed quickly after they are sent out into the world. They become a problem for all races very quickly and routinely.

    Slavering Sickness
    Plague / Epidemic

    Not to be outdone by The Sunderer after one of their plagues was stolen The Blightbringer unleashes a new plague on the world, while there had been sickness before they were mundane in comparison. This plague, known often as the Slavering Sickness could be transfered through food, water, and injury from a carrier often a ghoul. The infected person would begin to become more and more hungry eating to excess as much as they could get their hands on only to increasingly be met with dissatisfaction and a growing hunger. Sooner or later they would turn to cannibalism, or eating another sentient being, at this point the plague as fully set in and they turn into a ghoul themselves, their victims turn into zombies that either linger or more often than not begin roaming in packs looking for food of their own.   The Dawn King's followers lead the effort to exterminate the undead and find a cure, which they are eventually successful but many died as a result of this plague.

    Ursand forms
    Founding

    While Ursand had been colonized before this point it is only now that they were able to organize and tame enough of the savage land to form a country.

    The God Wars
    Miscellaneous

    With the gods walking the surface of Belthuran it was only a matter of time before the gods brought their wars to its surface. After the World Forger had stepped back from overseeing affairs during the Proto Era there had been small skirmishes between faiths but nothing like what was to come. Literal wars between gods, their angels/fiends, and mortal followers waged across the world causing untold destruction as gods battled. When the gods themselves were not fighting their followers led crusades against one another.   The amount of damage that was done to the world is incalculable and came very close to undoing the Great Binding that the dragons were doing their best to maintain while staying out of the fighting as much as possible. When the Firstborn took their pleas for help to the World Forger The Gods War came to a swift and decisive end, at least on the material plane.

    Reign of the Golden King
    Revolution

    The Golden King was a human mage whose name has been lost to history before he became the Golden King he was a great force for order and peace in Escini elevating the country to greatness. Until he looked across the planes and witnessed perfect order, a concept human minds cannot handle and was thus driven insane. He began a crusade to perfect the world starting with his own people creating a mix of undead and golem in the form of metal plated skeletons animated by a portion of the victims own soul.   His defeat came while he was in the midst of a massive ritual and the Arcane shuddered and for a brief moment stopped, this was the moment the Tyrannus first put on the crown given to them by the World Forger.

    The Reckoning of Gods
    Religious event

    Furious that the gods would threaten the very thing they were there to protect, the Great Binding. For the first time in many centuries the World Forger turned his gaze to the Material Plane and sent forth unto it his avatar to cow the gods or if necessary force them into submission.   This event also led to the Tyrannus Crown being given to the Dragons, and the Overplane being created to keep gods and outsiders from entering the Material Plane permanently. Any new god would have to be sent across by the Tyrannus.   Further the World Forger used the Sunderer's efforts to destroy the world to seperate the single contienent into the existing ones and to further humiliate the Sunderer he turned Ruul'Rathor into the only temple to the World Forger that exists within the multiverse.

    The Prelude
    Military action

    Very near the end of construction of the city of Hammerock, the Dwarves were digging deep into the earth, unknown to them they had stumbled into the territory of a green dragon who lived in the area. His kobold servants were expanding tunnels for their living space and gathering metals. This is when the two digging teams met breaking through the same wall. It has been lost to time who attacked first but it each side contends that it was the other who attacked first.   What matters is that the Dwarves responded with the full weight of their people there, pouring into the tunnels and attacking the kobolds in their homes and eventually coming face to face with the green dragon Valderix’Alrdovis who was far from pleased at the slaughter of his servants and the intrusion into his home. The dragon was able to kill off most of the early waves of dwarves who were ill prepared for fighting a dragon in its home.   However, knowing that it was a war of attrition the dragon instructed his remaining servants to gather what they could and affix a form of saddle to him. They abandoned the lair and flew to the Tyrannus keep informing the Tyrannus and the other dragons of the first incident of the younger races attacking a dragon directly. This lead directly to the Scouring.

    The Scouring
    Military action

    The Scouring of Hammerock was ordered by Tyrannus Emelth'Jevrath as a direct result of The Prelude, the ruling was to serve multiple purposes. It abidied the harsh laws of draconic society as the dwarves stole a home from a dragon to would they remove their home which at the time was Khel Khulthur it was unknown to the dragons that the dwarves had finished their new underground city and moved their populace there leaving the halflings in charge of the city. The second point was to make an example of those that would dare to harm the dragons they felt they needed to show a position of strength to dissuade any others from harming them again. It also prevented individual dragons from banding together to take matters into their own hands and cause more damage in reckless pursuits of their own 'justice'   So it was that on the 7th of High Sun 3700 2A the dragons came to exact punishment on the city of Khel Khulthur and the Halflings bore the brunt of the punishment not meant for them.

On that day the followers of the Ashen King were cursed, forever cut off from the cycle of rebirth, the arcane, and forever marking them by turning their scales to the color of ash. This also led to some of the Aarakokra sky cities to fall from the sky as they allied themselves with the Ashen King. While the moon turned red for all it was back to normal within an hour, for those who were marked by the Ruby Star see the moon as still that angry red. This includes all Kenku who are the cursed Aarakokra 's descendants.
