Ancient History

BD - before the revelation of Dominicus
AD - after the revelation of Dominicus

1000,000 - 10,000 yahren BD
These are the ancient days, when Dominicus still regularly walked among his people, and he was tolerant of the misguided ones who worshipped false idols.

10,000 yahren BD The Dragon Wars
Fleeing from the Seven Isles Dragons flooded Terra Incognita, marching upon the West. They were halted by the knights of Drakedoder, who founded Dragonkeep at the Canyon of the Howling Ice Mountains.

10,000-1,000 yahren BD The Western Kingdom
Slowly a kingdom emerged from the patchwork of smaller and bigger lords beyond the Howling Ice Mountains. On all sides they had both powerful allies and enemies, most notably the elven kingdom TAQ, the orcish tribes in the swamps and the gnomish and dwarven kingdoms in the mountains.

1,000 - 7000 yahren BDThe Crusades and the Western Kingdom.
The One Church pronounced its famous doctrine that Dominicus is the One and Only god, and the king is the head of the church. All heathens were slain by the famous Royal Temple Order of Paladins, the kings personal bodyguards. The knights of Dragonkeep, brethren of the Royal Paladins, were accused of heresy, but at their trial they redeemed themselves in the eyes of the king. Rumors of heresy beyond the Canyon can still be heard today.

During the Crusades the Western Kingdom did battle with all nations at her borders. This ended with the Eternal Alliance, a peace with the Elven kingdom TAQ whereby the king swore that he and all his heirs would marry elven princesses, this making the royal house half elven. This prompted the Gnomish tribe Khan and the Dwarven Kingdom Kaza Rhun to sign a peace treaty as well. If the Eternal Alliance would evern be broken, the Crusades would easily erupt again.

0 yahren The Revelations
A new highpoint in culture and science brought the Western Kingdom to a new level of civilization, unrivaled by other human counterparts. It is said it was Dominicus himself who instructed the Mages of Worlds Mouth in their quest for knowledge, which was called "The Revelations".

Recent History

1199 AD
Dark tidings from all over the western kingdom worry the king Dorian ye Melchior. He orders his Royal Paladins to start preparing for war, and sends out his men to find out what is happening at the border. Meanwhile the priests try to divinate what is going on, but do not get anything substantial, other than that the entire planet is threatened.
Duke Eisenreich, one of the largest vassels of the king advises him to go to war on the Orcish tribes, who of late have become a nuisance. Surely Dominicus is taking offense. The Cardinal and the Elvish Allies disagree, creating a stalemate.

1206 AD
Balthasar ye Dorian is born, the new crownprince. The king puts his favorite paladin in charge of the baby boy, his only heir.

1213 AD The Orcish Battle
The Cardinal,convinced of the heresy of Orcs, finally gives his approval and breaks the stalemate, agains the whishes of his Allies including his wife (who fear the damage to TAQ) Dorian declares war on the Orcs. The results are devastating. Dorian looses many troops and civilians. Thousands are led away in slavery. Meanwhile rumors come from Terra Incognita of a great spread of dark forces, the pit of evil. Daemons are loose on the world. The church gets a firm grip on society one again, erasing heresy where she sees it. The first rumors about the Pan heresy start to circulate.

1216 AD The Death of Dorian ye Melchior
The old king was slain during one of the latest battles against the Orces. Duke Eisenreich was appointed regent.
That same year a cease fire treary was signed with the Orcish tribes.


It is now the yahren 1224 AD

King's Court
A messenger from Tel Arnae Quessir arrived at the palace today. It was not long before rumors started circulating in Kings Court of the most devasting news that the fort Ost Tel 'Arnor had been overrun by Orcs and TAQ was officially at war with the orcish tribes. The elven queen has asked support from her long term allies in the Western Kingdom. Though military preparations were made all through summer nobody knew if the Regent would stand by the elves.

People talking on the streets reminded each other that orcish scout groups have been signalled frequently around Kings Court. Is the capital the next target? Would there be anybody left to defend the city?

With the prizes of food rising astronomically for the last month or so, hunger has started to set in. Together with the rumors of war this already has caused many people to leave Kings Court. Where to go, nobody knows. Bitterly the populace remembers the king was among the first to leave with a flimsy excuse and a nice goodby party.

It is no coincidence that this tradetide a food riot breaks out in the Avenue of Trade.
