    The Golden Age – approx. 870 BE to 223 AE
    Era beginning/end

    Precious little is known for certain of our period of history known as the Golden Age. It is widely considered to be a period in time of great technological advances and prosperity. Other schools of thought propose that the actual Golden Age is eons long gone and that other time periods named are at best rudimnetary interpretations. That said, they agree technology was in all likelihood unimaginable.

    Military action

    A massive Orc army sweeps south towards the capital. This was a short live push by these Orcs, however, because it was completely unexpected, they gained a lot ground, but their lack of supply lines and poor discipline their raid fizzled out.   It is thought none of the Orc Warband survived.   It is also only gossip at best regarding where they came from.

    The Rise of The Erayax Horde – 250 AE
    Founding

    Little is known of The Erayax origins, however many believe it was born out of dissent over The Knife Accord and the unity that facilitated. It is, therefore, also believed that both The Kingdom of Geldheim and The Hadovean Empire were aware of The Erayax existence, a belief supported records of minor encounters in the historical documents of both factions.

Recovery

251 1252

The war had raged for just over a quarter of a century. The Erayax had stopped pursuing the two forces, so it was that despite being war weary, the great battle was still to come in a sparsely inhabited region a few leagues south east from Bardaga Lake. This would last for some weeks and devastate almost an entire generation. It did not resolve the conflict, BUT, it did briefly halt the hostilities, there was simply no one left with any heart to fight. Both factions retreated to their respective realms to lick wounds and rebuild.

    The Recovery Age (Expansion) - 580 AE to 750 AE
    Military action

    From about 600 AE on, both the Kingdom of Geldheim and the Hadovean Empire war parties (branded as explorers) claimed new territories. They had begun to do so forcibly, as many of the formerly non-aligned territories resisted what they perceived as occupation.

    The Recovery Age (Reformation of Class Guilds) - 750 AE to 910 AE
    Political event

    The Class Guilds had survived many hurdles during the first few decades of formation. Notably, both the Kingdom of Geldheim and the Hadovean Empire are widely considered by scholars to be responsible for an infamous massacre relating to Class Guilds. Despite all this, it is broadly accepted by both factions that the neutrality of class guilds remains integral to the overall keeping of knowledge neutral.

    Military action

    The first genuine border skirmishes between the Hadovean Empire and Kingdom of Geldheim since the Succession Wars are recorded. Over the next two decades or thereabouts, small war parties (between 20 and 50) engage in border skirmishers, often for little real effect on either faction.

Geldheim and Hadovean recommence hostilities (After Epiphany)

1253 1300

After almost a thousand years, the Kingdom of Geldheim and the Hadovian Imperial forces contest for territory in the free lands (Contested territory).
The contested territory offers up an ecclectic mix of self styled duchies, townships, settlements, nomadic bands to name a small few.
And the Erayax perpetually in the shadows (or the field).

    Allard never really fully recovered from his injuries sustained in the failed assassination attempt that killed the rest, or at least most of his family.
    His son was still missing, most assumed him dead.
    He did however wait until the seige of Pont was resolved, or at least, so it seemed.
