UT 467-407: A battle between the Band of Reeds nations and the Vylmöt of Chalornok.

Founded in UT 688, the Kingdom of Ek Jad is crushed with the financial pressures brought by the Uvan Empire.

With Hex backing, Vupir Aperrah enters the political spotlight.  His father's high-born connections provide him a voice at court, but his lack of noble blood bars him from positions of rulership.

Envoys from Shuri and Tifwa Akn, warring nations, ask the Minore ruler to support their land claims. In exchange, each vows to open trade with their nation and, more crucially, to provide free passage to L'ai Alaq. Concerns of the ministers of Qildab about the fighting bleeding over onto their streets stay the Minores' involvement.

Archaeological research reveals commonalities between Qildabic and south Tyrilan cultures.  Fascination with all things Qildab spreads across Minore territory and beyond.  The figure of Death from ancient Qildabic religion revives interest in the Tyrilan cult of the dead, and underground groups meet to practice a reconstructed version of the old faith.

Vupir Aperrah, young son of one of the diplomats brokering the trade deal with Qildab, is secretly taken under the wing of Hex wizards and gains their tutelage while overseas. Vupir has the Gift; only his father's influence has kept others from finding out. Under Minore law, even latent magical ability is criminalized. Tales of when his kind ruled the world ring in his ears as the Hex grooms him to be their proxy in Tyril. He is 11 at the time.

Now that the borders of the Minore's territory extend to the sea, the ruling family of the Uvan Empire strikes up trade relations with the nearby continent of Pendahar. Its largest nations, Sassam and Najamur, hold exclusive contracts with the Southern Federation, so the Minores set their sights on Qildab.

The Drakoyan north is reclaimed from the Eannelks of Unwiel.

The Minores inherit a swathe of southern territories from the Pivoyats, but break from tradition in refusing to marry into the tribes they now rule over. The relationship is very much one of Conqueror and Conquered, and the population is governed with an iron hand.   Though they deny mages full rights of citizenship, the Minores seek to exploit magical talent more where their predecessors did not. Prison camps for mages are opened in new lands below the Fourth Meridian, and experiments are occasionally conducted here.

The Sons of the Serpent at long last oust the Hex from Enk' Ishr, and indeed, from the continent of Gnosit. Half of the dark mages flee to nearby Pendahar, half to Tyril, site of the vast empire they once ruled.  This divide evidences a schism within the Hex between the former group, whose members remain single-mindedly dedicated to returning Khajuro to this plane through magical mastery, and the latter, which believes that regaining political power is the best means to this goal.  

The nation of Ceweren is founded in 682.

The worshippers of Khajuro win the ruin of Enk' Ishr, in Sekh Anoob, after a decades-long siege against The Sons of the Serpent.

The excesses of the Jailohms fall under scrutiny as their hold over the people tightens into a crushing grip. Their need for worship leads to widespread abuses of power, drawing comparisons to the Grave Gods. In the end they are violently overthrown by the mob, the royal family drawn and quartered.

The Iron Lords enter a trade deal with the nation of Del.

The Dynasty's belief that religion had made their people gullible to the leadership of mages in the past leads them to try and demolish the institution.  The backlash to this decision spells the end of Majoholt rule.

The Circle of Tyril is broken, but its members run amok, scrambling for power and inciting a century of chaos. The Council attempts to bring the situation under control but is ousted by mundane rulers convinced - wrongly - that they themselves can handle the sorcerors. Territories are won, then lost, then won again, until Majohalt forces secure a decisive victory for mundanes.   Duration: 101 years

After The Plague Years (1212-1112) take a sizable toll on the Drakoyan Empire, its citizens return to Beurin from whence they were expelled prior to the founding of the The Old Empire (1501-1212).

Mages from Rela, aided by the new knowledge of magical healing, assist their southern cousins in retaking territories in Tyril, unaware of the true depravity of those they help.    Duration: 185 years

A small delegation of sorcerors from the continent of Tyril approaches The Council of Landezon for aid to liberate themselves from mundane oppression. In exchange, the The Circle of Tyril offers the knowledge of healing magic, without which Council mages could not venture into the problematic southern hemisphere. The Council is wary, but the Cativene lords, eager for healing, sponsor a full-scale war.

The people of south Tyril violently overthrow their masters. Reminders of the Pale Ones' reign, such as artifacts and idols, are destroyed on a large scale. The sorcerors are forced into hiding.   Duration: 27 years
