Saint Antral is said to be an Adrakian Thydian who reinstated the Thydian gods while overthrowing the Adrakian Empire and their pantheon.

Finalized Collapse of the Adrakian Empire (Academic Estimate)

While the specific date is debatable, Theydim would not exist if the Empire had remained intact. In Theydim, the collapse is mostly credited to Antral's Rebellion and other rebellions within the Empire.

Thydian Unification Wars

While the Unification Wars were not the first of their kind, they were the most successful, and the unified Theydim the war resulted in has lasted longer than any previous attempt. The crowning of High King Magnus the Red-Eyed has brought about the Third Age - at least, by the Thydian calendar.

The Great War

Not long after Theydim was unified, Magnus the Red-Eyed attempted to expand Theydim into the Contested Lands by bringing ContestedLandArlingNameHere into Theydim. However, the war machines called the Forged had their Great Awakening and caused a social turmoil, bringing the war to a sudden pause. The war has not resumed.

Thydian Civil War

After over thirty years of unification, the sudden death of the High King has led to a Civil War when Tilde Magnusdotr was preparing to take up the title as her father's heir. However, Siegmund Kerlbror came forward claiming Magnus had made him heir on his deathbed. The claim was not witnessed, but the dispute over the claim has caused Theydim to divide into four civil war factions.
