Islands of Lobina

A large Island off the coast of Northern Daemos with numerous smaller islands surrounding it, with the island of Glasbriste Oileán across from its western coast with the Sea of Oileán between them. While on its eastern coast it separated from the mainland by the Lobinian Channel with mainland Daemos.

History

The Age of Heroes and Empires

During this time the Island was seen as a dangerous place that even the bravest of elves dare tread. The native fauna and flora were seen as inhospitable to those who deigned to explore the island. Though some brave elves made homes here so as to seclude themselves from others of their kind in the great empires of elfkind.
Due to its inhospitable the Islands of Lobina were spared much of the horrors of the War of Twins.

The Age of Elves and Magic

After the Great Division of 0 AGD the shroud that kept Natia isolated from the rest of Terranosha was greatly weakened, allowing magic to seep into the world and and beings from other realms to settle into the world. Among these were the Firbolgs who entered the realm of Natia on the Oileanian Isle in 30 AGD but soon settled on the western edges of Lobina, spreading quickly all over the Island. The Firbolgs Fey nature allowed them to live in harmony with much of the islands dangers and deal with the dangers they could not befriend, allowing them to build mighty clans and communities amongst themselves and while occasionally coming to blows over minor issues they would always be united by a common ancestry.

The Age of Changes

Around 1254 AGD the first human settlers coming from the Northwestern Dracenlands started arriving, eventually forming settlements in the southeastern parts of the island with the largest being the irst settlement of Cholhester. Initially the Firbolgs fought back all attempts at settlement but were unable to stop this, leading to tensions and skirmishes between the Firbolgs and Humans. These tensions would come to a head at the 1414 AGD Razing of Cholhester where the largest Firbolg Warband ever seen on Lobina destroyed Cholhester and multiple smaller settlements leaving just the small village of Dinium and its surrounding farms in tact. The Great Warband would eventually be defeated by a legion of Invi warriors who would in turn claim the entire southern portion of the island for the Invi Empire.

In 1543 AGD the Invi Empire would begin to fall apart, seeing the settlements of Lobina as a waste of resources to defend, Emperor Valracian would recall all troops from the island leaving those who had settled the south of the island to fend for themselves which would result in brutal wars between the Invi seeking to remain and the Firbolgs seeking to rid their island of the settlers. The first of these being wars being known as the reprisal wars, a series of wars where the Pink Firbolgs attempted to push the Invi settlers back into the sea over the course of 200 years culminating in failure and the spread of Humans throughout most of the island excluding the western peninsula and far north. This spread would lead to small kingdoms being formed down south and in heavily entrenched Firbolg lands on Lobina.
By 2123 AGD the Pink Firbolgs were pushed back entirely to the western peninsual behind the Ofa Mountains where their culture would thrive and rediscover itself. Around the same point the Invi started mixing with rememnants of the Firbolg culture and began thinking of themselves not as remenants of Invi but as a new Lobinian culture. Over this time each of the several small kingdoms would grow larger by swallowing up Firbolg lands and other smaller kingdoms until eventually only 4 would remain by 2257 AGD. The Kingdom of Centia, The Kingdom of Midlo, The Kingdom of Norfun and The Kingdom of Wesbol. After almost 2 centuries of fighting and diplomacy these kingdoms would all be united in 2428 AGD under The Kingdom of Wesbol as the Kingdom of Lobina making the city of Dinium its capital.
