Vennesholm Founded

149 BCE

Vennesholm is founded by the explorer Claus Rasmussen.
Claus was an individualist who came south from his home kingdom to found a town based on his ideals. His son greatly expanded this town, forming it into the city-state it is today.

Emergence of Orcs

129 BCE

A new species of humanoid, dubbed the orcs, emerges from the swamps of Maolnah. War-like and generally vicious, they divided themselves into families and mostly hunted for food in small semi-permanent settlements.

Estax Founded

107 BCE

A group of elven settlers travel from the Elenal Forest over the Kurshen Mountains and settle the eventual city-state of Estax, in a lightly forested area in the southern Rusmorian Plains.

Osmaria Founded

89 BCE

The orcs organize into a theocracy worshipping Diodros, beginning to spread their influence southward and into the Straits of Altis.

Eshar Founded

83 BCE

The various groups of nomadic humans in southern Ubul, mostly the Isthern Desert, form the city-state of Eshar due to security anxieties concerning the increasing threat of the orcs spreading along the west coast of the Dioan Lakes.

First Osmarian Crusade

64 BCE

Osmarian crusaders are sent southward towards Eshar, though the harsh climate of the desert, which the Osmarian forces were not prepared for, greatly disadvantaged them, and Eshar, who had been significantly increasing its defenses since its founding, easily held them off.

Altis Settlement Accumulation

23 BCE

The Straits of Altis began to become a highly desirable trading route, and many trading settlements began to accumulate among the coast.

Ceshania Founded

1 CE

A group of elven aristocrats from the Rusmorian Plains found Ceshania, choosing Justinius Pharantzes I as their first lord.

Lacriaya Founded

12

The northern city-state of Lacriaya was founded by the elves who lived there and have eventually settled in the area following the development of (limited due to the climate) agriculture in the area.

Lacriaya Annexation into Ceshania

53

Shortly following Lacriaya's appointment of Florentinus Botaniates as lord, Lacriaya was annexed into Ceshania.
Ceshania dubbed itself as the capital of the new Rusmorian Empire.

Second Osmarian Crusade

89

Osmaria directed its focus to the region across the Straits of Altis. Vennesholm, out of the way of the crusade, was unaffected, but the cernine and scattered human residents of the Elenal Forest were devastated by the forces. While originally a strong push to the east, the Kurshen Mountains posed an impassible barrier and the crusaders were forced to retreat back to Osmaria after supplies dwindled.

Dastos Founded

106

One settlement along the Straits of Altis in particular, Dastos, rose to great wealth due to extremely successful investments and its size fueled its reputation and subsequent traffic.

Beginning of Rusmorian Campaign into Estax

115

Following unsuccessful negotiations to annex Estax into the empire and the discovery of a plot to stage a coup in the city-state, Rusmor attempted to take Estax by force.

Acquisition of Estax to the Rusmorian Empire

120

Rusmor succeeded in its campaign, and succesfully absorbed Estax, thus seizing control of the entire region of Iacomera east of the Kurshen Mountains.

Tumestein Colonized

162

The Rusmorian Empire set its sights further east to the relatively uninhabited Jaucrodrith, and formed a colony along the Sound of Tume, naming it Tumestein.

Tumestein/Eshar Conflicts

174

The new Tumestein colony clashed with Eshar settlers, who had begun to spread to the Malen desert and were eventually forced out due to the might of Rusmor's navy backing Tumestein.

Third Osmarian Crusade

198

The third Osmarian crusade was meant to attempt the Kurshen Mountains with more preparation, though the emergence of Dastos between the second and third crusades was unexpected and the orcs sacked Dastos, thinking it was Ceshania.

Domination of Rusmor

280

The Rusmorian Empire, with its strong military, skilled diplomats, and booming economy, rises up as the leader of the region and begins to turn its sights to western Iacomera.

Fleo Crana Founded

314

The tarago of the Fleumos Archipelago lived in small villages in the mountainous islands, though Fleo Crana grew to a size large enough to consider it a city-state.

Fourth Osmarian Crusade

427

The fourth Osmarian crusade is ongoing and has lasted more than a century. Rusmorian forces held off Osmarian forces in the Kurshen mountains until Ceshania fell, and are now slowly dwindling.

Fall of Ceshania

574

Ceshania, for unknown reasons, broke apart from Iacomera and slid into the ocean.
