Riverlands Timeline

The Titan War truly begins, when The First Gods aim their weapons against the Titans. First to make a move is the Translusent Traveler, who shoots at the God-Killer but The Diplomat intervienes, trying to stop the conflict before it has begun. Unfortunetly, he is incinerated and the other Titans retreat, while the God-Killer is imprisoned.

A mass number of Dwarven slaves would be taken by the Ithilyyar. Most of them would be known as the Duergar. Those that stayed loyal to their masters, would later flee with them into the Undertethys or build their own fortress, while the rest would revolt, turning into the Mountain Dwarves.

The dwarves would found many fortresses in the Great Arrow Mountains. Most notability the fortress of Moldath, which stood on the highest mountain in the region and waged war upon the Duergar Dwarves. After nearly three hundred years, all surface fortresses would fall and join Moldath, which in turn would become the capital of the Moldath-Shigin, known also as the Avalanche Autonomy, where it was more an alliance than a kingdom.

Ascal Gold Hearted needed access to Foundation Pillar - Me'at'Istenseret as per wishes of Vecna. However, this was deep in the dwarven territory and major expeditions would be seen as hostile, so Ascal brew a new conflict between the human kingdoms and Moldath-Shigin, the dwarven alliance. The rivers from the dwarven mountains would bring disease and poison, which would point to the dwarven fortresses as the perpetrators. When a meeting was held between the sides, it was Ascal that would convince the dwarves that the humans again toy with honor, as they did with his father. The poison worked on the dwarven minds and scuffle started in which the humans representatives were killed. The war began, which allowed the elven king access to the foundation pillar.

Thak, meaning "to lock", was a time for the Dwarves of the Riverlands, that returned to their fortresses and would isolate themselves from the other races, only using the mountains to trade between themselves. This would take many generations until the plans for the Dawi Way created a rift between the traditionalists and those that wanted to open up. Over many years, the traditionalists would lose the argument and this part of the Dawi Way would start their construction.

The kingdoms of Riverlands became weak due to constant war and conflict. This was used by their enemies, the dragon family of Firdayn, an ancient Red Dragon, who used his powers to take control over the lands. First, he struck the elven kingdom, allying himself with black and red dragons of the northern jungle. Soon after the human fledgling kingdoms fell, only the dwarves were spared due to them being closed. After nearly fifty years of war, order returned and the tyranny of the dragonkind begun. It didn't last long, as civil war broke between the dragons and a silver dragon, Alyxstra, rose up. She united the dragons, giving them lands to rule and not bother other of their kind. Firdayn was furious but accepted the rules, taking over the volcanos of the Foundation Pillar - Me'at'Istenseret. The dragon baronies were different from each other, some were more tyrannical, while others would have more freedoms than a normal kingdom would grant. When the dragons of the Jadeite Empire came, the dragons of the Riverlands joined them.

The kingdoms of Riverlands would still struggle, even with major trade going on thanks to the naval routes. This changed when Urthar the Hunter rose to power, becoming a legend in the forests. Many would see him as a Hero and in time, he would become an Immortal by hunting the White Stag of Riverlands. Urthar, in time, would ascend to become a king of Belathorvia, a kingdom that ruled over the biggest forest, aside from the Great Tree Forest. Neighbors would see him not as a potential enemy but someone who spoke sense with survival in mind. An alliance would form, which in turn would turn Belathorvia into a bigger kingdom, that repaired relations with the Seljuk, Dwarves and Elves.

Urthar the Hunter brought peace to the Riverlands, however, not to his soul. Seeing that everything is good in the kingdoms, he would leave civilization. He would return for the next couple of years but after ten years, he would be gone, never to return. Over the next centuries, many said they saw Urthar hunting in the forest but those are just rumours.

The human king of Belathorvia, Isimund IV the Greater, was murdered in broad daylight during his speech. The body fell nearly a dozen meters from his balcony. Suddenly, the crowd itself started to kill each other in an unknown chaotic way.

Years later, many smaller conflicts are taking place in the Riverlands, until the elven capital's magic is taken down by the Divine Hollow. Using a powerful object called the Aeoncharnite, they are able to confuse the people of the city and create a mass delusion, making the citizens fight against each other. It is believed that the same item was used years before in human capital. The origins of the item are unknown.

The Riverlands are divided, the nations of Dwarves, Humans, and Elves couldn't keep up with the constant rebellions, so local authorities took the matters into their own hands. This division was used by the Icon Warmonger, who flew over the peninsula and cast a powerful spell over it. This marked the beginning of the Dark Times of Riverlands. A powerful barrier was created over the lands, blocking physical or magic access to the Riverlands, locking the people inside. Sol's light was weaker under the barrier and many crops would die. The population of the lands would drop heavily.

Descendants of the Ithilyyar raise again in the ruins of the coastal cities of Rivelands. After the major floods that keep bashing on the coasts, the Mind Flayers return with a giant army of underwater creatures, like the Sahuagin. Starting another conflict, this time supported by the Icons themselves. The kingdoms of Riverlands finally fall into their hands once more.

The human known as the Demon King arrived in the court of Zausdovaussk, the new capital in the western Riverlands, of the reborn Ithilyyar empire. In an instant, he is able to slain the ruling council and their Elder Brain. Whenever he went, he opened portals into the Demonic Corridors, sending demonic forces upon his foes with ease. His goal was to rescue the Riverlands. But at what cost?

While the lands are under repair, the Demon King went out into the southern coast of Riverlands and using his magic, raised an island out of the seas known as the Alvanista Island. The Demon King said that Icons might return and he must prepare for another such conflict, sending many great researchers and wizards to the island, where they would be guarded against attacks from the outside.

The forces of Qhuss would attack the Empire from any angle they could. Even his great floating pyramid was able to do much damage to the lands. The conflict would take decades as the Demon King wouldn't be on the front lines, spending his time mostly in the Alvanista Island or in the Grande Riparian Forest. Without him on the line, the war was at a standstill. Those outside the walls suffered under a new Iconian Empire. Mostly the northern and northeastern coasts, as the rest was still guarded behind powerful walls.

While the Icons Nephilim is still at large, his master the Lich Qhuss is stopped by the forces of the Empire. It is said that the Immortal Luvic helped in the process but not directly. The Lich is however bound to the land and cannot be truly killed, thus his pyramid becomes his eternal tomb. The people of Riverlands can finally rejoice and bring the battle to the Divine Hollow.

The Immortal Luvic gathered the adventurers who would become the Demonslayers. Decades after the defeat of Icon Nephilim, the tyranny only extended to other facades of life and the Demon King used his Ys'xaaran, known also as the Seven Sins, to execute his will. Some would kill dozens of people just to prove a point. The group would prepare for battle and study their enemies. This would be the successful rebellion by Luvic as he was already after many failed attempts.

The Demon King was killed. It is said that it happened in the Mesquida Mountains but it might have happened in a different place. After the Demon King sent his best men to fight Vecna, he was weakened enough for the Demonslayers to take action. After his death, disaster struck Riverlands sooner than in other lands.

The returned hero, Christobal united the people in their dire need. The once capital of the Empire of Ys'Hett will now become a new kingdom, under the first emperor, Christobal I the Saint. This is the start of Mathras as a nation.

The Demonwalls are closed to outsiders, mainly those around the capital city of Mathras. By this, they tried to stop the civil conflict, keep everybody together, and control the flow of food.

Bard Malcovin has returned, at least the rumors are confirmed, that the old castle, Castle Myriade was taken over and it was Malcovin himself. The empire was conflicted with this but seeing how he helped the locals survive the Post-Calamity Era, he was granted the title of Baron and left to rule those lands.

After the awakening of Thea, the other gods of nature like Grolantia, Emerald Druid and Sunlord bless the lands. The Riverlands return to their former glory and many people return here to settle abandoned lands.

Many elves left the southern parts of Riverlands after the Calamity but once the Great Tree Forest was revived, the rest would follow. Now, only the majority of the population in the southeast coast would be half-elves.

Many sailors would return to the coasts of Riverlands, a lot of them in the northeastern parts. There they would slowly become friends with the elves of the forest, while they would sail away for money. In time, the city-states would organize. At first, it would be just two towns and over the three decades, the kingdom of Olvoe would become the kingdom of the coast, spanning far into the Likouala Jungles.

The nation of Midgaard announces its presences but stays inside its borders. Trading only when it musts. It would be half-open after The Second Divergence, when Airship travel was returning to the world. Suddenly everybody knew about the hidden kingdom of magic.

Alfonso I Alisheri becomes emperor after his fatehr Christobal II Alisheri.

The southeast coast was said to be a client state of Mathras but not for long. The Immortal Luvic sparks a rebellion, the many cities and towns reject the rule of the empire, prompting them to send an army. This conflict would continue for decades. The first war would be known as the Founding of Isila War, which would end with the founding of the Isila kingdom.

A ceasefire was made by the elves and it was kept for a couple of years. After that, there was a prospect of peace. The new emperor, Geraldo I Alisheri the Pontiff, wanted to greet the elves in his garden. The Immortal Luvic wary of the plots of the empire would again send emissaries. It is unknown who started the fight. In the royal gardens, the emperor was killed by the elves, this is said by the empire, while the elves speculate that the emissasiers were "fake", maybe the Drow took their place, as some of them escaped the capital and never returned. This however sparked a new war.

This would be an almost never-ending conflict between Mathras and Isila. Started by the deceit that killed their emperor, the forces of Mathras would march southeast to theelves, while they instead would use their magic to guard their new lands. Over the decades, the empire would bloody themselves many times, bleeding out much during this conflict, while the elves would gain only ground and strength. Luvic would see many emperors die over the decades, all of them refusing to fulfill promises of their ancestor.

Carolina I Alisheri becomes the emperor after her father Alfonso II Alisheri.

New rulers of Sahadrun moved to Marakaresh, from there they enacted a new law, called the Al'Hadim Halal or Holy Law of Forbiddance. All magic users, who aren't clerics or paladins, have their freedoms restricted. Anybody who wants to use magic has to fill paperwork, their word is counted as lower than a non-magic user in court and a new magical prison is made for them. Sorcerers must notify of their location once every day to the authorities and have paperwork on them at all times.

A ceasefire would be signed by the Mathras emperor Diego I Alisheri the Lean. It would stipulate that the elves will be granted lands east of the Demonwalls known as the Xernith Demonking Walls.

The new kingdom of Olvoe would start a war with the elves of Isila. This conflict would be mainly fought by sea and Olvoe over the years would quickly show that they are the better at the waters than the elves. This conflict was stopped by The Second Divergence event and never continued. It is said that peace was never signed and the countries are still at war, even if decades later they are trading.

Quintana Port and Negorta Port leave the empire as the news of Saratosa Port seems favorable to them. They do not seek the help of pirates but work on their own arrangements. The Mathras Empire is looking ever so weaker.

Seeking to rebuild the loses from The Chronoplague, the nation of Sahadrun would defy the elves and started to cut down their Great Trees. At first, they would be asked to leave, then forced, until this turned into a conflict. This continues decades later but the lumberjacks are now guarded by the military.

Said to come from the deepest Likouala Jungles, the kingdom of Mosparia conquers a lot of of the coast and takes land from Olvoe. Their conflict stops into a ceasefire, both sides building a wall on their borders as the aggressive nation stops their attacks.

Emperor Alfonso III the Peacemaker enacts a controversial law that would commonly be referred to as Counting the Knife-ears. Census of Peace is made to count every citizen of the Mathras empire, especially those of non-human blood. All citizens are required of the location of their residency, their profession and their racial lineage. Humans are required to do so once per five years. Elves and Half-elves every year. While Dwarves and other races once every yen years.
