History of Terra

Driven by vengeance, Norvia pursued her dark brother, Eireadorch, across the muddy remains of the once Land Beyond the Dusk, now drown beneath the waves. Eireadorch tried to hide in the Land Of Giants, a continent recited in myth as Doggaroth, who at the time was pledged to the Serpent's cause. With a mighty fleet, and a host of her children, Norvia laid waste to Doggaroth and the Serpent's armies. Unable to stop his sibling's onslaught, Eireadorch was cornered. However, when Norvia finally managed to break in the last citadel of her brother, he was nowhere to be seen....   While Norvia laid siege upon the strongholds of the Giants, Eireadorch had plotted a whole new apocalypse, this time, perfectly timed....   Before Norvia could realize, or her hosts could escape, great waves emerged as Doggaroth descended beneath the waves, along with the foe's hosts, signifying the last apocalyptic event that will bring about the end of the era of the Gods....

As the power of the Western Erovian states grew, the rulers of Anjoin, members of the Caligonian Dynasty from Countanne, led by King Avoinot "The Brave", begun an expendition to extend their rule over the lands of Aquilonne and Gascaunne, who were at the time independent countries, contrary to Norladia, Anjoin an Naurbonne, who had been under the rule of the Caligonians ever since Caligon I, "The Great" conquered the lands almost half a century prior.   The resistance, however, of Aquilonne and Gascaunne was unexpectedly stout, while the armies of Marailon were also dragged into the conflict, resulting to a bloody stalemate.  After several campaigns and even more battles, Avoinot "The Brave" will be wounded severely in battle and will succum to his wounds few days later, dying in late Summer of 689. His successor, Loron II, shall continue raiding Aquilonne lands, while his campaigns shall become more sporadic, devolving the war in lesser skirmishes and raids.   Eventually, after many years, the Duchy of Vethonny shall enter the war in the King's side, resulting to several rapid-pace campaigns that saw the Aquilonnian armies depleted and many of their lords dead, or captured, forcing Aquilonne to come to terms and be vassalized by the Kingdom of Pottaun, effectivelly ending the 40-year long war.

After a series of conflicts on Ostronnia, due to the collapse of the old dynasty, the Cult of the Iron God, a cruel machine-loving organization that sought to abolish the past religions of the country, having grown significantly due to the civil strife and the adoptation of their war machines by the warring factions, they rose up in open revolt, calling onto the Ostronnians to take up arms and free themselves from the royals. And so, they did. After several years of conflicts, the Cult of Iron managed to take control of Ostronnia, establishing a cruel industrial regime that procecuted any magic user they could reach, burning down holy sites and comitting attrocities, in their black crusade to rid the world from Magic entirely...

After some five years of conflict, the Iron Cult forces lay siege on the important city of Ostera, in Oldenn province, which became the very peak of the Varanian Conflict. After nine years of near-perpetual siege, the Iron cult finally managed to take the citadel and claim the territory, with however no few losses.  It is believed by historians that almost twenty thousand Iron Cult troops perished during the prolonged siege, which was among the reasons why by the end of the siege, the Varanian Conflict entered a stalemate, as both sides dug themselves in long lines of trenchworks along the contested border.

With the death of King Veulon "The Young", after the Battle of Fontrois, Pottaun faced a succession crisis, with Veulon having no children, nor an appointed heir. Across the Kingdom, Dukes and nobles begun claiming rights on the throne of Pottaun, resulting to a rapid fragmentation of what once was the largest kingdom of Western Erovia.
