History

All dates on the following timeline follow the Galefridish calendar, and the historical events presented here represent what most modern scholars agree to be the truth.

Mythic Age (-35,000 to -24,000 GD)
This period of history covers the creation of the world and its races.

-35,000

 * The primordials created the world out of the leftover material that existed between their domain, the Elemental Chaos, and the domain of the gods, the Astral Sea. They discarded material that contained too much positive or negative energy; these pieces coalesced into the Feywild and the Shadowfell, respectively. The world was then one of elemental fury, engulfed in an endless cycle of destruction and rebuilding.

-34,000

 * The gods looked down from the Astral Sea and discovered the world that the primordials had created. They became fascinated with this new world and attempted to improve upon the primordials' work. The gods created natural life, tamed the churning elements, and created the Sun and Moon. The primordials did not appreciate the gods marring their work and grew antagonistic of them.

-33,000

 * Corellon discovered the Feywild and created elves to inhabit it.

-32,500

 * Corellon, Lolth, and Sehanine headed the fey pantheon unchallenged.

-32,000

 * Io fused astral spirits into the raw elements to create dragonkind. The greater spirits became the dragons, while the lesser spirits became the dragonborn to serve the dragons.

-31,500

 * Lolth created the art of weaving after watching spiders make their webs, becoming a deity of fate who wove the strands of mortal destiny.

-31,000

 * Melora and Sehanine created the halfling race but abandoned them as their interests waned.

-30,000

 * Moradin chiseled dwarves from the bones of the earth.

-29,000

 * Avandra adopted the nomadic halfling race, as they exemplify her ideals.

-28,000

 * Taking inspiration from the gods, the primordials created their own race, the giants, to serve them in their ultimate goal of destroying the life that the gods had created and returning the world to its chaotic state.
 * After eons of rising tensions between the gods and primordials, it had become clear that war would be inevitable.

-27,000

 * The god Tharizdun sought a secret means to destroy the primordials by himself and discovered a shard of pure evil created by ancient entities. Claiming this shard warped Tharizdun, driving him mad and twisting him into an entity of pure evil. Seeking to destroy the primordials, he planted the shard into the heart of the Elemental Chaos, where it took root and grew into the Infinite Layers of the Abyss, a realm of darkness, despair, gloom, and evil. This act was seen as a first strike by the gods against the primordials, and so began the Dawn War. The gods imprisoned Tharizdun and sealed him away for what he had done.
 * In retaliation, the primordials invaded the Astral Sea and caused irrevocable damage to the domain. Seeing the chaotic assault of the primordials, the gods organized a coordinated counter-attack strategy and established that each of them would champion and care for specific aspects of creation, which they called "portfolios."
 * Amoth took on the portfolio of Justice and Mercy.
 * Aurom took on the portfolio of Death, and many other portfolios.
 * He Who Was took on the portfolios of Good and Peace.
 * Io took on the portfolio of Dragons.
 * Khala took on the portfolio of Winter.
 * Laeris took on the portfolio of Trickery and Lies.
 * Lakal took on the portfolio of Healing.
 * Tuern took on the portfolio of War and Fire.
 * Zehir took on the portfolios of Darkness, Poison, and Assassins.
 * The establishment of portfolios - or domains - led the gods with conflicting domains to argue with each other for ages. Eventually, Avandra proposed the Divine Compromise, which the gods agreed to uphold.
 * Nerull was born as a human and learned magic from Corellon, becoming an incredibly powerful wizard. He joins the war against the primordials and founds the arcane school of necromancy, but Aurom, God of Death and many other portfolios, forbids his newfound magic. While Aurom was weakened from battles with the primordials, Nerull, attacked and killed Aurom and seized his power, becoming the God of Death and the Dead. Nerull gave away Aurom's other portfolios to other gods in exchange for a place in the pantheon among the other gods.
 * A sorcerer-queen that learned wizardry from Corellon died in the Dawn War and passed into Nerull's domain. Nerull became enthralled with this powerful soul, claimed her as his wife, and gave her the name Nera. He showered her with gifts to win her affection, but Nera never reciprocated his love, remaining his slave-wife for years. She remained close to him, however, and learned his secrets, until she eventually turned his power against him and killed him. She became the Raven Queen, Goddess of Death.

-26,000

 * Asmodeus, archangel and exarch of He Who Was, betrayed his god and killed him, but not before He Who Was cursed Asmodeus and his follows, transforming them into the first devils and the astral dominion of Baathion into Baator, as a prison for them. Over the coming millennia, Asmodeus worked to erase all knowledge of He Who Was from existence, including his name, out of fear of the god returning. Asmodeus offered his aid to the gods in their war against the primordials in exchange for ascending him to the pantheon.
 * Disorganized, the gods could not gain an upper hand in the Dawn War. Achra, God of War, took command and led the gods to their first big victory against primordials in the war. After several more victories, the primordials came to fear him and call him "Bane" - so Achra adopted this new name with pride.

-25,000

 * During the Dawn War, Io chose to fight primordials by himself, confident in his might. However, he was betrayed by fellow god Zehir, and cleaved in twain by a primordial with an adamantine axe. The two halves of Io became two new gods: Bahamut and Tiamat.
 * Amoth, God of Justice and Mercy, is killed by primordials. Bahamut takes on the domain of Justice. Lakal, Goddess of Healing, takes on the domain of Mercy.
 * Lakal, Goddess of Healing and Mercy, is killed via collateral damage. Pelor takes on the domain of Healing.
 * In the final years of the Dawn War, as it became clear that the gods would win over the primordials, different gods attempted to exploit the weakened positions of some gods to gain power. One such example was the War of Winter, which resulted in the Raven Queen banishing Khala into death and taking on the power of winter.
 * Laeris, God of Trickery and Lies, snuck into Vecna's stronghold while he believed he was occupied with the war efforts and attempted to steal one of Vecna's artifacts; Vecna caught and defeated Laeris. Sehanine adopted the domain of Trickery, and Lolth adopted the domain of Lies.
 * In search of power, Lolth snuck into The Abyss and became corrupted. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Dawn War, Lolth led her chosen, whom she called the Drow, against other elves in an attempt to conquer the Feywild and crown herself the Queen of the Fey. War raged in the Feywild as Corellon sought to fight back against Lolth, and the Raven Queen lent her aid to Corellon. While Lolth named her chosen the Drow, Corellon named all other elves the Eladrin, a supernal name. Some eladrin, however, refused to participate in the war and fled the Feywild for the natural world, where they became known as elves. Lolth lost the war and fled to the Abyss, while Corellon banished the drow to the Underdark. After the conflict, the Raven Queen took the domain of fate from Lolth.
 * The gods ultimately won the Dawn War. Most primordials were either slain or imprisoned; some remain free, but in exile. Weakened and weary, the gods retreated to their domains in the Astral Sea.
 * Bane was relieved as his duties as commander and began to plot strategies of how to become leader of the gods again.

-24,500

 * Bane invaded the domain of Tuern, God of War and Fire, and killed the god, taking on the portfolio of War.

Age of the Fey (-24,000 to -9,000 GD)
This is the period in history when Elves and Eladrin ruled the world as several distinct kingdoms.

-23,482

 * Establishment of Eth'Ruvanna.

-19,452

 * Establishment of Myvanna.

Age of the Elders (-9,000 to -3,000 GD)
This is the period in history when the elder races - Elves, Eladrin, and Dwarves - ruled the world as three distinct empires. \

-8,525

 * Establishment of Morgrak.

Autumn Age (-3000 to -1167 GD)
This period of history marks the decline of the Elven, Eladrin, and Dwarven empires, and the rise of human kingdoms.

-2194

 * For thousands of years, orc tribes had plagued civilized lands as disparate raiding parties, until a great warchief united the orcs into a single tribe and attempted to conquer civilization. Elves and Eladrin combined forces to form the greatest army civilization has ever seen and defeated the orcish invasion, driving the orcs back into the wilds and hunting them to near-extinction. However, the Elves and Eladrin suffered tremendous losses throughout the war.

-1549

 * The Elven, Eladrin, and Dwarven nations formed an alliance and forged the magical trident Noraknore to commemorate it.

Imperial Age (-1167 to 0 GD)
This period of history is defined by the rise and fall of two mighty empires: Arkhosia and Bael Turath.

-1167

 * Formation of the dragonborn Empire of Arkhosia, ruled over by royal lines of mighty dragons.

-799

 * Formation of the Empire of Bael Turath by humans.

-680

 * Turathi summoned devils and became the first tieflings.

-625

 * Turathi created the kruthik as beasts of war.

-524

 * War erupted between Arkhosia and Turath.
 * By this time, the two empires had extended to cover most of the habitable part of the continent and began to war over territory. The war would go on to last for centuries, during which time dragons scorched the northern areas of the continent, destroying all civilization there in order to eliminate the port-towns the Turathi used to raid Arkhosian shores.

-502

 * Konas Runegut was born.

-343

 * Konas Runegut was killed and began his prolonged stay in the Shadowfell.

-132

 * The House of Dreddore was formed.

-21

 * Kestmulnahkruziik was born.

-4

 * Kestmulnahkruziik was cursed with immortality.

0

 * Official fall of the empires of Arkhosia and Bael Turath.
 * During the war, dragons were hunted to near extinction, leaving Arkhosia's dragonborn clans without the strong leadership that unified them. After the Turathi destroyed the Arkhosian capital in 0 GD, individual dragonborn clans seceded from the Empire, feeling no obligation to suffer further losses in support of other clans. Eventually, no clan remained that held loyalty to an empire whose leaders and capital were gone.
 * By this time, the empire of Bael Turath had overextended itself across most of the known world in its conquest. Hellbent on destroying Arkhosia, the Turathi had invested everything into their war machine and become a nation of impoverished humans and a growing population of slaves serving a cadre of political elite tieflings in a world sapped of its resources. When the Arkhosian capital was destroyed, the tieflings saw the end of the war coming, and the Turathi emperor was murdered in a coup d'état that resulted in a series of chaotic political assassinations as different tieflings claimed the throne. For the downtrodden citizenry, the added confusion and violence in their homes far from the war front brought the sociopolitical misery to a boiling point, and revolts began against the tieflings. The chaotic revolution spread like a wave, from the capital to the edges of the empire, and with the Turathi army still stationed at the faraway war front and no leadership in place to recall the army, settlement after settlement saw its Turathi leadership overthrown. The day the Turathi throne was destroyed by rioting citizens marked the official end of the empire.

Modern Age (0 GD to present)
This period of history marked a new age free from the tyranny of Bael Turath and a world at war.

16

 * The Pit Fighters mercenary company was established.

37

 * After decades of wandering in exile with other dragonborn and becoming the leader of a small clan, Kestmulnahkruziik attempted to reunite the dragonborn clans to found a new dragonborn empire without dragons as its leaders. During a summit that he managed to organize, Kest was ambushed, and the summit devolved into open fighting. Disenchanted, Kest abandoned all hope for his people and left the dragonborn clans completely.

47

 * The settlement of Liunbar was established.

407

 * Formation of the human Empire of Nerath. The Nerathi Empire grew to encompass all civilized human lands. The empire did not colonize further West into the heart of former Arkhosian territory out of superstition that the land was cursed by Turathi devils. The territory to the North of the empire was still an inhospitable wasteland due to dragons scorching the land during the war, and territory south of the empire was too cold to cultivate.
 * The Nerathi Empire banned the worship of evil deities in order to prevent the mistakes of the Empire of Turath from repeating themselves.

683

 * Kestmulnahkruziik was hired to assassinate a lord of Nerath, but the lord counter-offered and hired Kest as his personal bodyguard until the day he died of old age in 736.

718

 * Vespyr von Drugoth was born.

736

 * Vespyr von Drugoth was assassinated. He made a pact with Mephistopheles in Baator and returned to the world of the living as the first vampire.
 * The earliest known tale of Heradric Dreth'dor was recorded, in which he defeated Vespyr von Drugoth.

738

 * Brushmoor was founded as an independent mining town.

743

 * The beginning of the Fall of Nerath. By this time, the Nerathi Empire had grown complacent, and its government had grown largely ineffectual and corrupt. Barbarian raids were taxing on Nerath's southern border, leading to revolts breaking out in Nerath's southern settlements. This forced the Empire to spend even more coin on its military budget to defend itself from local rebellions. Economic troubles led to oppressive taxation, resulting in enormous discontent from the Eastern side of the empire, which was isolated and remote from the empire's heart.
 * The next few years saw a rising number of eastern settlements declare independence from the Empire, as their leaders and people felt that being part of an empire that largely ignored them while paying taxes to solve faraway problems was nonsensical. Busy dealing with issues closer to its capital, the empire offered no response to the deserting settlements.
 * The proud people of the southern settlements grew increasingly frustrated at the empire's apparent priority of suppressing their revolts rather than killing barbarians. Hearing tales of eastern settlements declaring independence, some southern settlements began to declare independence. Now fearing that the dissent it allowed to fester in the east could lead to mass desertion, the empire further increased its military presence in the south and reclaimed settlements by force. This, however, had the opposite of the intended effect, as the warlike southerners took to arms and fought back, and even more southern settlements were spurred into rebellion.

752

 * The Fall of the Empire of Nerath. After years of rebellion, heavy taxation, and mass conscription into the army, more and more settlements far from the capital seceded, and political unrest at the heart of the empire was at an all-time high. Other than a few sycophants, no one supported the Emperor any longer, and high-ranking officials began to desert. In the span of three months, three Nerathi emperors - following the line of succession - were assassinated, and by the end of the year, there was no major city left that had not declared independence from the Empire.

756

 * Formation of the Kingdom of Folkhard.

758

 * Paen the Mad terrorized farms within the Kingdom of Folkhard for months, despite Heradric Dreth'dor defeating him repeatedly. Paen refused to stay dead. Eventually, using a ritual developed by the Sylron, Dreth'dor banished Paen the Mad to the Shadowfell.

771

 * The last surviving member of the House of Dreddore died.
 * Formation of the Kingdom of Matrona in the heart of Nerath's former seat of power. The Fall of Nerath left a power vacuum that allowed self-serving opportunists and more insidious forces to rise. Former Nerathi officials who had defected two decades ago agreed to consolidate their power and forge a new kingdom in order to keep themselves and the people safe from such threats.

792

 * Formation of the Kingdom of Farraj in the East. After years of seeing Matrona consolidating power and fearing the rise of a new empire, the eastern settlements decided to come together under a unified banner and elect a king to protect their interests against the western world.

794

 * Formation of the Kingdom of Gavriel in the South. Following word of the formation of the Kingdom of Farraj, various southern leaders claimed the title of "King" and fought each other with warbands. After months of battles, one warlord emerged as the respected victor, and the southern settlements crowned him their king. One of the warlords who died during these battles was Heradrius the Dread Terror, who was 78 at the time.

808

 * The Kingdom of Gavriel conquered the Kingdom of Folkhard. The former King of Folkard fled to the city of Lionburh to gather allies

811

 * Formation of the Kingdom of Galefridus. In response to Gavriel expanding territory northward through conquest, and Matrona not desiring to lend aid to the settlements outside of its lands, a leader arose among the settlements caught between the two kingdoms to form a new kingdom that would protect from invaders any settlement that pledged fealty to it.
 * Galefridish forces retook the territory of the Kingdom of Folkhard from the Gaves and made the province a duchy within Galefridus, naming it the Main Duchy of Folkhard and crowning the grandson of the first King of Folkhard the first Duke of Galefridus, second only in power to the King himself.

812

 * The town of Brushmoor was briefly overtaken by Kainic forces during the Battle of Aede. Thereafter, Brushmoor's leadership accepted protection from Galefridus and became a part of the kingdom.

849

 * From 849 until 872, Kestmulnahkruziik worked with the Unbroken Blades.

893

 * Heradric Dreth'dor banished Vespyr von Drugoth to Baator.
 * The Galefridish calendar was introduced by Lucis Sol Emmelina as a modification of the Nerathi calendar.

895

 * The Galefridish Conquest took place, a sudden strike by Galefridus against Gavriel that successfully captured territory south of Lake Aede which had previously served as a barrier to a grandeur invasion.

902

 * Tudinus III, King of Matrona, established the Knights Justiciars of the Eternal Kingdom.

904

 * Row was born.
 * Construction of The Holy Capital in Millburg, Grand Temple to Erathis and the largest above-ground structure created after the Fall of Nerath, is completed.
 * Early in the year, the Disciples of Dreth'dor defeated a devil who had taken on the guise of the Baron of Kain, Marek II. The Gavric people assumed Galefridish assassins killed the Baron.
 * In spring, the Disciples of Dreth'dor defeated the Werewolf of Brushmoor.
 * In summer, Ogre's Peak erupted and partially destroyed Abel while blanketing all of Kain in ash, leaving the realm in shadow for some time, causing colder temperatures and ruining the year's harvest. The Gavric people blamed Galefridish sorcery, and the Kingdom of Gavriel declared war on Galefridus, beginning the Gavric War of Restitution.
 * In autumn, the Disciples of Dreth'dor ventured to the Underdark to confront Shridra, but were forced to retreat after Cal died.
 * Late in the year, Cal was resurrected.
 * Late in the year, Cal was resurrected.

956

 * The Disciples of Dreth'dor returned to the Underdark and defeated Shridra.
 * Cal rejoined the Obsidian Watchers as an initiate to complete his training.
 * Skamos enlisted in the Kainic Captains of Battle to further his training as a battlefield commander.
 * Borys traveled to Bihar to train under the Kensei.

960

 * A portal to another world opened on the warfront between Gavriel and Galefridus, and legions of devils poured forth. This put an end to the Gavric War of Restitution, as the two kingdoms were forced to form a truce and fight the devil army together. The Invasion of Hell lasted months, but with the help of the entire world, civilization prevailed against the devils. Kestmulnahkruziik was recruited by the Iron Boars and participated in this war as a mercenary. Borys abandoned his training under the Kensei to return in earnest to fight in the war in defense of his home nation of Gavriel. Skamos' training was cut short as the Kainic Captains of Battle joined in the war against the devils, and his battlefield cunning led to some key victories throughout the war. Borys was the one to deal the killing blow to the leader of the devil army - who turned out to be the very same devil that the Disciples of Dreth'dor defeated in 955.
 * Highly decorated for their actions in the war, and with their secret of being two of the Disciples of Dreth'dor coming to light, Borys and Skamos became national heroes in Gavriel. Rather than returning to complete their respective trainings, Borys remained in Gavriel to help his nation recover while Skamos founded an organization for persecuted tieflings, the Harvesters of Fortune.

961

 * King Draganos III of Gavriel was killed by barbarians. Queen Marina the Fierce of Gavriel, pregnant, died of grief.

969

 * Prince Draganos IV of Gavriel, heir to the throne, was killed by barbarians.
 * Borys became King of Gavriel and began an aggressive, nation-wide initiative to channel his people's warrior-spirit into agriculture and the economy, while also slowly eroding the nation's anti-Galefridish sentiment.
 * After years of building up a respectable reputation for his organization as criminal-hunting bounty hunters, Skamos brought the Harvesters of Fortune to Kain and used his relationship with Borys to entrench himself within the barony.

1002

 * Kestmulnahkruziik was sent on a mission to shut down a crime syndicate. The mission succeeded, but Kest was the sole survivor of the team he led.

1005

 * The assassin Silvos van Corvata was captured after killing a target in Matrona and sent to be imprisoned in Al-Katraz.
 * As prisoners within Al-Katraz, Ania, Kragg, Row, Silvos, Wranbalar and Burnt Leaf accepted a deal with a mysterious man known as B - in exchange for completing missions for him, B had negotiated their conditional release from prison. The former prisoners established the Aurum Order with a headquarters in Al-Abiz.
 * During a mission, the Aurum Order unwittingly freed Den Nosferatu from their prison beneath the town of Al-Rasibi.
 * Kestmulnahkruziik left the employ of the Iron Boars to pursue an independent contract to assassinate a Farraji politician. After a failed attempt, Kest was imprisoned in Al-Katraz, then recruited a few days later by B, who assigned him to the Aurum Order.
 * The Aurum Order was sent on mission by B to protect Al-Akademia from barbarian attacks; the city was destroyed and Silvos left for dead in the fallout.
 * The Empire of Solis was formed, with Borys declared emperor.

1006

 * Noraknore was stolen from Myvanna by the Aurum Order, under the direction of B. This led to the dissolution of the alliance of the Elves, Dwarves, and Eladrin that was forged in the Autumn Age. The Caeldul of Myvanna attempted to hunt down the culprits, to no avail.
 * Rumors that humans are responsible for the theft of Noraknore lead rogue elves to raid Galefridish villages near Myvanna. Xander and the Golden Claws of Galefridus were deployed to protect the villagers and patrol the border as a show of strength.
 * The Aurum Order ventured east beyond civilized lands in search of a kidnapped tiefling employee named Hope. They discovered that an orc warchief named Lortar, under the influence of an otherworldly entity known as The Dark One, was uniting the disparate orc tribes into an army bent on conquering civilization, and was using Hope as a conduit for his connection with The Dark One. Burnt Leaf killed Hope, severing Lortar's connection to The Dark One and casting the orc army into disarray. Following this, Burnt Leaf was reassigned to more important duties by B and left the Aurum Order.
 * Silvos, having survived the destruction of Al-Akademia, rejoined the Aurum Order.
 * Silvos, having survived the destruction of Al-Akademia, rejoined the Aurum Order.

1007

 * Moon was assigned by B to aid the Aurum Order in a mission in the Matronian city of Alzeiza. The Aurum Order executed a trio of political assassinations during a night that went down in local history as The Back Night. Moon joined the Aurum Order.
 * For a year, Xander's scouts and patrols were ambushed by rogue elves, leading to significant losses to his unit over time. One night, a major raid occurred on a Galefridish town, leading to the death of nearly half of his men. Xander attempted to send for reinforcements, but his messengers were killed and their corpses sent back to him. Realizing his position may be overrun, Xander ordered the evacuation of the town and set fire to the elven forest to cover their withdrawal.
 * Soon after, Xander was court-martialed, stripped of his rank & title, discharged from the Galefridish military for gross insubordination, convicted of war crimes that threaten world peace, and sentenced to life in prison.
 * In late 1007, Den Nosferatu destroyed Al-Abiz and the headquarters of The Aurum Order.

1009

 * In early 1009, The Aurum Order finished establishing a new headquarters in Newtown. Ania, having negotiated her freedom from B, left the Aurum Order and returned to Matrona.
 * In autumn, the Aurum Order was sent by B to intercept a caravan carrying a powerful artifact. The mission was successful, until Moon deliberately destroyed the artifact. Following this, Moon was assassinated by order of B.

1010

 * Ania, returning from Matrona with an associate, Corvus Straza di Sillitta, rejoined the Aurum Order.
 * In summer, the Aurum Order staged a prison break at Waybrook Keep. As a result, Xander escaped his cell, but Ania died during the mission.
