History of Theia

The first Human settlement is deemed "complete" and christened: Raven's Nest.

Duergar historians mark this year as the birth of their civilization. In 52ps. their ancestors began digging tunnels beneath the mountains in order to escape the frost on the surface.

Marbrand Mercer is crowned as the first King of Igni.

The year of the black sun has left the people of Mercia frightened and looking for answers. A group of fanatics called the purists, convince the populous that this was a divine punishment. That the intermingling of species was not what the gods intended. Thus the kingdom splits into three separate groups: A majority of the Human population headed west and formed a new kingdom at the rivercross, called Veldrin. The Dwarves meanwhile headed east to the copper mountains, splitting off into 5 separate clans that would later come together as the Quinndom of Aegis.

The first great Phallangeian War: The arrival of an orcish fleet at Phallangeias north-western coast marks the beginning of a swift and bloody war. The greedy dwarven king Lars "the Lesser" joined forces with the invaders against their long time friends and allies the Halfling kingdom Siobhyr (pronounced Sheviir).  Within 16 months half of the Halflings territory was either burned or firmly under control of the dwarf-orc alliance. Once the Halflings had retreated to the Marshlands the dwarves promptly killed most of the remaining orcish host and Lars "the Lesser" was usurped by Ivar "Ironfist". The new Dwarvish king now ruled over the entire northern half of the continent.

Marcellus Mercer the 3rd king of Mercia declares war on the neighboring kingdom of Veldrin hoping to annex the prosperous riverlands. The rather cold war lasts about 20 years with a mere two major battles fought and ending without a clear winner.

Both Mercia and Veldrin try to persuade the new forming kingdom of Yasil to join them. When the Wastefolk refuse, Mercia launches a short lived invasion that ends when Yasil assassins murder the Mercian king Martin. His successor Marabell Mercer (the first and only queen of Mercia) manages to ease the tensions between the two fronts and later even establishes trade relations.

Osric Grindemahr, a rogue mage from Veldrin, usurped Riverlord Friedrich II. A large part of the Veldrin army, lead by general Sethryss Lydel, fled to Mercia. They joined forces with the Mercian and Yasil armies effectively ending the previous war and turning the full might of three kingdoms against Osric and his loyalists.

The new Ignian emperor Fenthril initiates the construction of a new capital for his empire. In 430 the first stone is placed where about 120 years later the greatest city ever build would receive its name: Zentria

A fleet of elven ships from Azil Modrah lands at the eastern coast of the freezing continent Cerys. Due to some unknown calamity the forest of their homeland was dying which forced a mass migration to this harsh new home. When they saw that Cerys was suffering from a very similar fate many decided to head even further east eventually making their way to Phallangeia. Others decided to stay and attempt to save this dying continent.

Ignian refugees claim the Phallangeian desert as their own, establishing the Darrinese kingdom. The arch mage Sahir Al’ Nar is named first king of Darrin.  Two years later the construction of Al' Karash begins.

The second great Phallangeian war sees the destruction of the elven kingdom Aederon and wipes out nearly half of the continents population. The war only ends when a divine word of warning falls from the sky, in the shape of the Quarterstone.

During the reign of king Friedrich Hasterling , New Mercia wins a legal dispute against Hholvar. The result: The region formerly known as the kingdom of Aederon, is annexed by the Mercians. Henceforth their realm is simply known as kingdom of the silverridge coast.
