History of Theraxis

After Clerics of Ioun discover the location of an intersection of Arcane leylines, the Drow, with the help of humans and merfolk, travel north into a new land to establish an Arcane academy. Upon the sight of the leyline, they commission the construction of a grand Institute for the Arcane. It is named Trodworth and soon many who wish to practise the art of magic would travel from far and wide.

On the continent of Greador, an expedition of elves from Arnfell travels south and stumbles upon an obelisk found to house immense gravitational power. These elves form The Council of the Enlightened, and branch off from the elves in Arnfell. They combine their arcane forces and build Trifora School for the Arcane.

The archmage Vecna's contributions to arcane theory enabled many of the artefacts that would stoke the flames of the Calamity. He began hoarding secrets, killing those who knew them, and achieved lichdom. He amassed a force of followers and undead, disappeared with them into the Shadowfell to conquer Thar Amphala, and there built Entropis.

After the Human Kingdom of Vandrill was destroyed, and their peoples were scattered there was sorrow. Now post Unbalancing the remnants of the Kingdom, namely the cities of Sarenth and Tullagar were left. However, both cities were left in such dismal state the new Kings rebranded. The larger Province of the lower Riverlands was now named Sarenth and the city was dubbed Dellophia. Tullagar was left destroyed after raids from Dark Pact forces and renamed to Whitebreeze. The upper Riverlands were left splintered and didn't unify until the Republic of Thereus was established.

Dwarven communes spread along the Featherstorm mountains gather at an ancient temple of Moradin after the Cataclysm and unite as Dashingfall. On Moradins holy day of Deep solace, the dwarves formally start to work on carving a city into the mountain.

After slowly rebuilding some parts of their respective city states they form the First Therosian Republic as a means to build a stronger future together. The Provinces of Northwind, Trodworth, Vriturith, Thereus, The Riverlands and the Cresthold Peninsula are established as the city states build their union.

The Dwarves of the Featherstorm mountains start to make moves on the Old forest causing a war to break out between the Clans of Greador. The wood-elves of the Old Forrest, the instigating dwarves and numerous smaller communes and clans all try to take the lands directly west of the Featherstorn mountains.

On the foundation of an ancient temple of the Raven Queen, The Grihar family establishes Rabenturm around their castle on a hill near Brightware loch.

For the first time since the time before Lolths corruption of the Drow, the many elves of Vildrum ban together to keep the Coloured Wind at bay. The super reclusive Drow would leave their city of Moonscar to align themselves with the Wilds of Vildrun.

In the city of Rabenturm, after the fall of the Grihan Dominion. The Auralius family declared themselves to be the Imperial family of the Auralian Empire.

At the behest of the Emperor, the druidic peoples of Kethassia are to make their current homestead of tents a fortified city of stone. The Orcs reluctantly agree and name the city Kethas. The Emperor requested the building of a large stone city as the island could then become a powerful defensive asset. The Central towering castle is called Windpeak Tower. The urbanisation of Kethassia caused the orcish island to become powerful enough to make its own rules and laws. Resulting in an independence claim 120 years later.   The main Castle is carved from a mountain, the stones that were carved away were used on other assets of the keep and the rest of the city, such as the wall around the city and the Flamespire (lighthouse)

On a tour of the Empire, the Royal heirs of Line Osteroth were aboard the vessel known as The Valiant when it was shipwrecked in the Bay of Trodworth. Cedric Osteroth, heir to the throne, his wife Alayne, his son Beiron and his newborn daughter Evelynn were lost.   The Tragedy ended the line of Osteroth as Cedric had no siblings. Emperor Leandros “The Last” Eraseth named Aramis of House Tissareth the new heir to the throne.

Following the path of the Republic of Thereus. The small alliance of islands of the southeast coast of Losaria declare independence from the Empire. Not but a few days later, the North eastern island of Kethassia declares independence as well, asking the newly established Triplets to join their union.

In 703PD the Cresthold Peninsula was shaken by an attack, the shores fell victim to raids by roving bandits wearing the Auralian Raven. The Council lay blame at the feet of the Empire in Greador, believing the Empire is trying to make a colony out of the peninsula. The Empire denied any involvement with these attacks, claiming that any unlawful use of the Auralian Raven is punishable by death. The Cresthold Councillors demand justice for their fallen and prepare their navy for Therosian retribution upon the western Greadorian coast. The navy meets a blockade in the middle of the Auralian ocean and a battle ensues. Most ships on either side are destroyed. Those responsible for the attacks were never found.
