    Dornian Dynasty

  • Period: 163 BCE to 149 BCE

    Helm I

    Helm the Builder expanded Mythhold and the roads connecting it to other, growing towns

  • Period: 149 BCE to 122 BCE

    Ydrid

    Ydrid the Golden studied with diviners and priests, and she appointed the Rainbow Council as official court mages (perhaps to make peace with the dangerously powerful mages)
  • Period: 122 BCE to 121 BCE

    Dorn II and Helm II

    Dorn the Gilded inherited from his mother Ydrid the Golden, but was soon slain by agents of future king Erdal. Dorn's son Helm the Gilded met the same fate the next year
  • Period: 121 BCE to 27 BCE

    Erdalian Dynasty

  • Period: 121 BCE to 114 BCE

    Erdal I

    Erdal the Bloody killed the heirs of Ydrid after patiently waiting for the powerful queen's passing. He founded his new dynasty in the blood of the old.

    Brodhelm

    Brodhelm the Strong continued Erdal the Bloody's use of violence to eliminate his enemies, expanding the kingdom beyond Agronland in a short 5 years.

    Erhelm the Bright and his eldest died in battle, leaving the youngest son Mordarel the Sorcerer to take the throne.
  • Period: 84 BCE to 80 BCE

    Mordarel

    Mordarel the Sorcerer, child king born to Erhelm and Gwethyr, had advisors and his mother governing in his stead, while attempts were made to control his wild magic. His death at age 12 was presumed to be an assassination, spurring his mother's vengeful conquest.
  • Period: 80 BCE to 32 BCE

    Gwethyr

    Gwethyr the Conquerer, dowager queen between the deaths of Erhelm the Bright and their son Mordarel the Sorcerer, became one of the most aggressive monarchs, relentlessly pursuing her family's killers and trampling her enemies. She took no other husband and had no more children, leaving the throne to Erhelm's uncle Erdal the Old.
  • Period: 32 BCE to 27 BCE

    Erdal III

    Erdal the Old inherited from his nephew's wife Gwethyr who had relied heavily on the Rainbow Council. The wizards eventually grew tired of the old man and deposed him shortly before his death.

    Magocratic Era

  • Period: 4 BCE to 184

    Rendrican Dynasty

  • Period: 4 BCE to 11

    Rendric I

    Rendric Bear-Voice, a large and charismatic noble, rallied the people and reestablished the monarchy in a time of growing distrust in mages.
  • Period: 11 to 16

    Rodwolf

    Rodwolf "the Cub" lived mostly in the shadow of his father Rendric Bear-Voice, but managed to hold onto the fledgling dynasty despite the ambitions of several wizards, leaving it to his brother Remwael.
  • Period: 16 to 29

    Remwael I

    Remwael the Great, Rendric Bear-Voice's second son, expanded Agranor to stretch from the Kyrvals to the sea. The new monarchy was firmly established as a lasting institution.
  • Period: 29 to 30

    Aeryth

    Aeryth the Substitute, sister of Rendric II, was crowned in the prince's absence until his return. She was thus King, not Queen Regnant.
  • Period: 30 to 50

    Rendric II

    Rendric the Wise was away when his father died. Rendric's sister Aeryth was instated as intermediary king on his behalf until his return. His reign was prosperous for the kingdom.
  • Period: 50 to 57

    Kewyn

    Kewyn the Good, spelled 'Kuen' on coins, benefitted from the prosperous state of the kingdom left behind by Rendric the Wise. They are theorised to be some flavour of not-cisgender.
  • Period: 57 to 69

    Remwyl II

    Remwyl the Tall was known for his stature and fondness for towers, which he erected many of, much to the mages' liking.
  • Period: 69 to 102

    Rendric III

    Rendric Silver-Heart opened many new mines and minting houses, vastly increasing the crown's wealth, but mostly just to fill his own coffers. His name and profile appear on a lot of old coins.
  • Period: 102 to 120

    Remwyl III

    Remwyl the Old had been a militant prince, but as king, he was mostly just an old man who enjoyed luxury.
  • Period: 120 to 125

    Rendric IV

    Rendric the Pious (Prince Aleric before his coronation) was a highly religious man, who spent most of his short reign financing temples.
  • Period: 125 to 134

    Arthold I

    Arthold Green-Thumb was famously fond of botany and greenery. He created a number of parks and "hired" druids from the border regions to tend to his gardens.
  • Period: 134 to 151

    Remwyl IV

    Remwyl the Pious continued his predecessor Rendric IV's financing of temples, and had shrine built into every park and castle.
  • Period: 151 to 158

    Rendric V

    Rendric the Righteous turned the recent decades' religious trend towards war. This eventually got him deposed by his cousin Arthold the Bold.
  • Period: 158 to 177

    Arthold II

    Arthold the Bold deposed his militant cousin Rendric V, but had to contend with the enemies he made doing so for the entirety of his reign.
  • Period: 177 to 180

    Remwyl V

    Remwyl the Fat was also the Duke of Imwyrth in the modern-day Kalruun Fields, a rich and fertile land. He disliked a lot of the nobility, and frequently shifted estates and titles around for his own amusement. The aristocracy quickly decided they didn't like this, and so they had his son instated prematurely.
  • Period: 180 to 184

    Rendric VI

    Rendric the Stubborn came to power when the aristocracy got tired of his father (they didn't kill him, he was just deposed). The nobles demanded Rendric undo Remwyl V's chaotic decrees, but since he didn't, they rallied behind his rival Korond.
  • Period: 184 to 854

    Korondian Dynasty

  • Period: 184 to 207

    Korond I

    Korond the Great deposed the increasingly disliked Rendrican dynasty and founded his own with the nobility's support, and restoring order to the aristocratic hierarchy.
  • Period: 207 to 218

    Omond I

    Omond the Beloved maintained his father's successes. Quite uneventful, politically.
  • Period: 218 to 232

    Korond II

    Korond Long-Legs was known for his travels all across the kingdom, hunting in the country with nobles, visiting borderlands, and extending the borders to the north (although that didn't last).
  • Period: 232 to 278

    Omond II

    Omond the Wise was closely involved with the appointment of mages across the land. In 272, he exiled Kalarel, Magus to Imwyrth, at the behest of the rest of the arcane society.
  • Period: 278 to 305

    Leomond I

    Leomond the Accursed faced the first demonic army of Kalrath, losing many battles until the Rainbow Council managed to drive the fledgling lich out. He didn't manage to reclaim much land from the orcs before the next wave of demons struck from across the sea.
  • Period: 305 to 311

    Omond III

    Omond the Lost only ever suffered losses against the Demon Tide.
  • Period: 311 to 329

    Leomond II

    Leomond the Brave conscripted new soldiers and armed his people against the Demon Tide, losing most battles, but holding back against others.
  • Period: 329 to 335

    Korond III

    Korond the Coward hid from the invading forces of Kalrath and from his royal responsibilities. When his vassals called for aid, he refused to answer.
  • Period: 335 to 342

    Omond IV

    Omond the Boneless cowered in his castle until his eventual successor Omond the Strong convinced him to take up arms against the Demon Tide. Omond the Boneless was killed by Kalrath and used to fuel dark spells.
  • Period: 342 to 365

    Omond V

    Omond the Strong focused his attention towards holy warriors when strategising agains the Demon Tide, prioritising the divine over the arcane. His funding and arming of temples saved the major cities, but he failed to protect the smaller settlements, leading to worsening famine.
  • Period: 365 to 366

    Leomond III

    Leomond Demonfodder made a valiant attempt at leading his paladins into battle against the Demon Tide. Unfortunately, he was eaten by ghouls.
  • Period: 366 to 375

    Korond IV

    Korond the Castellan, much like Korond the Coward and Omond the Boneless, fortified himself in his castles. Unlike his predecessors, however, he had to contend with flying demons, and actually managed to prevail in most battles.
  • Period: 375 to 387

    Omond VI

    Omond the Sign was considered a good omen, as his coronation was shortly followed by the turning of the tide in the war against Kalrath's armies. In 384, the lich was driven back and destroyed at last, and Omond's restoration had begun.
  • Period: 387 to 420

    Landor I

    Landor Half-Elven continued Omond the Sign's restoration of Agranor following the end of the Demon Tide.
  • Period: 420 to 433

    Leomond IV

    Leomond the Sharp was known for his resoluteness and viciousness during the post-Demon Tide restoration. His reign was eventually contested by his nephew Omund the Holy, to whom he lost a brief civil war.
  • Period: 430 to 469

    Omund VII

    Omund the Holy defeated his uncle Leomond the Sharp. He funded the paladin orders founded during the Demon Tide, and relied on them rather than the still-recovering mages.
  • Period: 469 to 490

    Lander II

    Lander the Conquerer mobilised his paladin knights and the recovered mage cabals to annex the weakened kingdom of Virdenia to the south.
  • Period: 490 to 509

    Omund VIII

    Omund the Kind inherited an expanded kingdom, now including Virdenia, but rather than ruling the annexed land with an iron fist, he allowed the locals to practise their own faiths and traditions, albeit overseen by Mytholese mages.
  • Period: 509 to 534

    Omund IX

    Omund the Blessed was favoured by the church of the Morninlord from birth, and he was raised and tutored by healers. The paladin knights expected to gain his favour for a crusade to eliminate the remaining undead on Tol'Anar, but this didn't pan out.
  • Period: 534 to 550

    Lander III

    Lander the Lame was considered an excellent statesman, even if he struggled to socialise with the aristocracy and rarely visited his dignitaries. He relied almost solely on mages and priests to communicate at greater distances.
  • Period: 550 to 559

    Korund V

    Korund the Young was the adopted child of Lander the Lame. Due to his inexperience and unroyal heritage, he abdicated and left his father's chief advisor Yector the Magus in power.
  • Period: 559 to 562

    Viceroy Yector

    Yector the Magus was chief advisor the Lander the Lame and later Lander's adopted son Korund the Young. Korund abdicated, leaving Yector in power until a new king was appointed. As a mage himself, Yector worked closely with the Rainbow Council, and strengthened their bond to the crown, which had lessened after the Demon Tide.
  • Period: 562 to 584

    Omund X

    Omund the Stern was chosen as the new king a few years after Korund V abdicated. Due to viceroy Yector's influence in those years, Omund worked closely with the Rainbow Council and other cabals. He also raised taxes to fund his mages, and ordered more frequent and thorough inspections of the common folk for many things, including tax evasion, perceived disloyalty, and sorcery.
  • Period: 584 to 618

    Lander IV

    Lander the Fair was known for his beauty and for his just rule. He loosened up on some of his father's regulations and taxes, and traded a little popularity with the wizards for a lot of goodwill with the people.
  • Period: 618 to 621

    Lander V

    Lander the Unloved was an unfortunate successor to Lander the Fair, and he was neither popular with wizards, nobles, nor the common folk. He is thought to have ended himself, or perhaps just disappeared.
  • Period: 621 to 640

    Omund XI

    Omund the Just restored faith in the crown after the pitiful Lander V was presumed dead. Omund named his eldest son (Lander VI) the principal lord of Westhaven, and had a palace built there for him.
  • Period: 640 to 667

    Lander VI

    Lander the Expansionist had spent at lot of time in Westhaven as crown prince and principal lord of the city, and he became fascinated with the lands across the water. During his reign, he seized Ballasair in Costanor and greatly expanded the Yondrian territories to the north.
  • Period: 667 to 669

    Vosmarch I

    Vosmarch the Kind took over from Lander the Expansionist, and though he didn't relinquish the new territories, he was known as a kind man within the old borders. Unfortunately, he had his enemies, who managed to kill him and soon after also his son Emeric the Child.
  • 669

    Emeric

    Emeric the Child was murdered by his father's killers months after his coronation, leaving the crown to the enraged wife and mother Sybil.
  • Period: 669 to 720

    Sybil

    Sybil the Rainbow Queen was the wife of Vosmarch I and mother of Emeric the Child. After their murders, Sybil convinced the mages of the Rainbow Council to back her as monarch in return for more influence, and she began her quest for vengeance against the killers. Her long reign was marked by a resurgence of high magic as well as merciless retaliation against her enemies. Much like Queen Gwethyr before her, Sybil never remarried.
  • Period: 720 to 728

    Omund XII

    Omund the Old, a cousin to Vosmarch I, was already an old man when he acceded to the throne after Queen Sybil's death. He frequently warred with Kavaad, and after he lost South Virdenia in 727, he granted more power to the southern margraves and barons.
  • Period: 728 to 730

    Lander VII

    Lander the Venerable impressed the world with his ability to not suddenly drop dead… for about two years.
  • Period: 730 to 763

    Dorn (III)

    Dorn the Restorer took over from old men losing wars, and had to relinquish Velantia (north Virdenia) to the south in 733. After successfully stabilising the new border with the aid of Baron Callumpold of Kernenvale, he set his eyes on other lands, to regain what was lost. His vassals successfully expanded in Costanor and found new resources to import.
  • Period: 763 to 775

    Korund VI

    Korund Sunshine followed in his father's footsteps, continuing King Dorn's restoration of Agranor. He funded the church of the Morninglord more than the others, helping his acolytes to restore old temples in the wilderness ruins, and build new ones over in Costanor.
  • Period: 775 to 801

    Omund XIII

    Omund the Stag famously had a lot of children. With a lot of women. All over. The next three kings were all sons of Omund XIII.
  • Period: 801 to 806

    Vosmarch II

    Vosmarch the Seafarer was the first son of Omund the Stag, and the first to inherit. When he was lost at sea, the next brother inherited.
  • Period: 806 to 810

    Omund XIV

    Omund the Affable was the people's favourite legitimate son of Omund the Stag. He took over after his older brother Vosmarch II, but tragically died shortly after his son Korund's birth.
  • Period: 810 to 829

    Lander VIII

    Lander the Renn-Slayer was the third crowned son of Omund the Stag, and a renowned warrior in Costanor against the Rennamen. He adopted his nephew Korund and named him crown prince.
  • Period: 829 to 854

    Korund VII

    Korund the Good, later also called "the Recluse", was adopted and named crown prince by his uncle Lander VIII after the death of his father Omund the Affable. He became reclusive around the same time the Rainbow Council disappeared. His wife Haelric is mother to his three children Vosmarch, Torace, and Marlotte.
