    The Dynastic Wars
    Military: War

    This was a series of conflicts in which the Glimmer Dynasty invaded and conquered the known world. Within the first few years, the whole of Grandos was under their control; by the end of the century, Iltham had fallen. It took substantially longer to take the Waterfolk cities, Spire, and Dwarvish Isles but soon, even they fell before the might of the Human military complex. The only city not to be officially concurred was the Free Gnomish City. Most historians agree that once the leaders of the Free City heard about the Leviathan Caelum, or Air Ships as they are known now, they quickly sent word to the Dynasty surrendering the city in all but name. For almost a thousand years the world would remain under Dynastic control.

    Birth of Vondor of the Blue Mountain Clan
    Life, Birth

    Vondor was one of the most prolific Clansmen playwrights, political philosophers, and theologians. His best known work, Of Hope, would go on to cause a political and cultural revolution within the Dwarvish Clans. Today he is celebrated as a folk hero and founder of the new Clansmen society.

    Clinging to the Mist is Published and Preformed
    Cultural event

    Clinging to the Mist was written by Vondor of Clan Blue Mountain. This was his first significant work. Vondor was a member of the Low Clan and, at the time of publication, only 19 years old. All other playwrights were well into their 70s or 80s and members of an official Upper Clan in Clansmen society. Reports vary as to how Vondor convinced a scribe to publish Clinging to the Mist or how he convinced the Central Blue Theatre to allow a performance, but most would agree the world is better off because of it. Clinging to the Mist was set to become a classic before Vondor's later works overshadowed it. It remains a hallmark of Clansmen literature, however.

    11 King's Fall

    Thief Without Faith
    Cultural event

    Thief Without Faith was written by Vondor of the Blue Mountain Clan. While initially it was written as a stand alone play, the Church of Marrus and the Guards of Dark Ones would become Vondor's patron as he wrote short stories and plays adding onto Thief Without Faith. This play would become a famous fable within several churches and would even be exported out to the Southern Kingdoms, Duke's Dust, and Confederation of Sea Metropolises.

    Execution of Vondor of the Blue Mountain Clan
    Life, Death

    Vondor of the Blue Mountain Clan was executed by the Upper Clans of the Dwarvish Clans for refusing an official order. Vondor was commanded to stop production and performances for Of Hope, the Tale of Einryn. This was largely because of the political, cultural, and theological commentary within the play.

    The Blue Mountain Days
    Political event

    With Of Hope, the Tale of Einryn published and performed for all to see, the Upper Clans sought Vondor of the Blue Mountain Clan's head. After Vondor's execution, the political revolt known as the Blue Mountain Days would erupt. While it was the shortest revolt in history, it was not without blood. Many of the national leaders were killed before they finally agreed to the demands of what would become the Blue Mountain Clan.
