Pre-Story

 * Year 0 &#x2014; Arrival of the Elves. No records are present from before this time.
 * Year 596 &#x2014; Official formation of the Elven Empire, after three elven lords fight each other in a bloody civil war. The first emperor is crowned.
 * Year 1186 &#x2014; The formation of the dark elves faction. Traditionally, all arts relating to the element of darkness were banned, but a certain elf chose to do so in secret, and eventually in the open, separating from society and gaining many followers.
 * Year 1277 &#x2014; A plague sweeps across the map. A disease among elves is unheard of and they cannot determine the cause.
 * Year 1279 &#x2014; A cure is finally found, and the disease is defeated, but almost 40% of the population is eradicated.
 * Year 1280-1295 &#x2014; Elven Civil War. The dark elves are deemed to be too great a threat and the empire declares war on them despite their contribution during the plague. Once the plague is over, they are hunted down and executed. After a bloody battle, most of the dark elves are slain, and the remainder retreat towards Dagunland.
 * Year 1349 &#x2014; A few skirmishes on the border of Dagunland as the orcs and goblins show unprecedented aggression. They are beat back.
 * Year 1772 &#x2014; Another imperial expedition to Dagunland fails as they find the dark elves have brought many monsters under their dominion. They retreat knowing victory is impossible. The war itself is initially started by the dark elves, luring the empire into a trap.
 * 2446 &#x2014; Arrival of humans on Feldranix. The first ones arrive from the north and land on Dagunland, making contact with the dark elves, who immediately bring them under their dominion despite them being of warring barbarian tribes.
 * 2502 &#x2014; A second expedition of humans from the south. They are from an empire that has been defeated and immediately fall into the care of the high elves, slowly integrating into their society.
 * 2504 &#x2014; A Human expedition lands on the eastern shore. Refusing to be part of the high elven society, they are given lands to the east, forming the vassal state of Lanexi. They are much different in appearance to those from the south and follow a system of warrior feudalism, where martial skills matter most.
 * 2659 &#x2014; The fourth and final group of humans makes contact. These are merely merchants who choose to stay on Feldranix, claiming they have never seen such a continent before.
 * 3340-3349 &#x2014; The First Great War. An extremely bloody conflict as the forces of Dagunland clash with the empire and their human allies. The capital is burnt to the ground, but the forces of Dagunland are eventually driven off. The empire is fractured and loses most of its former territory. Lanexi becomes independent and expands, while the merchants of the west form a state of their own called Ortoria. Start of the Age of Humans.
 * 3352 &#x2014; The dwindling elven population hands over the reigns to the dominant humans, forming the Kingdom of Terrasia. The remaining elves either become advisors to the King or joined the military.
 * 3356 &#x2014; Formation of the noble system in Terrasia, with power divided between five major noble houses. The elves pledge allegiance to the head of the Del Roddea, impressed by the power of the dragon-knight. This marks the foundation of the Templar.
 * 3360 &#x2014; Peace treaty signed between the three human nations.
 * 3375-3381 &#x2014; First war between humans. Lanexi, looking to seize territory, attacks Terrasia, but are met with brutal force. They end up losing a large part of their territory, and the citizens are slaughtered. The elves part ways with the Kingdom, disgusted by this act of brutality. Lanexi surrenders, pledging to never cause war again.
 * 3570-3579 &#x2014; Second Lanexi-Terrasia war, but this one ends in a stalemate and a ceasefire, with the leadership of the high-elves helping the nations to sign a new deal that leads to an unprecedented period of peace.
 * 3680-3901 &#x2014; An extremely long &apos;cold war&apos; between Lanexi and Terrasia with skirmishes here and there but never an outright battle. Finally ended by the new King of Terrasia in 3901, who wishes to improve the relations between the countries.
 * 4009-4071 &#x2014; A period of constant war between Ortoria and Terrasia which leads to the latter emerging as the greatest power on the continent. Ortoria surrenders and signs a new peace treaty. This starts a relatively long period of peace between the human nations.
 * 4555-4579 &#x2014; The Second Great War. Dagunland attacks once more, with the remaining high elves joining the fight. The army from Dagunland is led by &quot;Wrath&apos;s Five Demonic-Generals&quot;, all of whom are dark elves, and 3 of whom die. Eventually ends in defeat of Dagunland, albeit the human forces are unable to successfully lay siege to Wrath&apos;s fortress. Much bloodier than the last such war, and the high elves are all but gone.
 * 4785-4788 &#x2014; Another war between Lanexi and Terrasia, but ends in a ceasefire and both sides retreating after 3 years of moderate fighting and small skirmishes.
 * 4814 &#x2014; A three-way battle between the three territories taking place in a great field on the northern border of Terrasia. Ends with a victory for Terrasia, but upon the insistence of the Del Roddea, the matter is not pressed further and a new treaty is signed instead. Leads to souring of relations between Von Maximus and Del Roddea, the former feeling profits were lost. However, relations between Terrasia and Lanexi become strained and tense once again, and remain so to this date, though there has been recent improvements.
 * 4845 &#x2014; Continued skirmishes between Terrasia and Lanexi threaten to break out into a war, but a settlement is eventually reached.
 * 4969 &#x2014; The Battle of Tears. A massive battle between Terrasia and Lanexi on the plains near Hanryou after a challenge is issued by Lanexi&apos;s Warrior Supreme. Both sides take massive losses in a fight that spans 6 days and 6 nights, eventually retreating in peace and tears.
 * 5060 &#x2014; Destruction of both the Templar and the Del Roddea. Almarck is burnt to the ground but the forces from Dagunland retreat before any retaliation from Terrasia. The Kingdom grieves and licks its wounds.
 * 5061 &#x2014; Following suspicion that Lanexi were involved, Terrasian and Lanexian relations break down again, leading to another period of &quot;cold war&quot;. There is no fighting, but no diplomacy either, and borders are shut.
 * 5070 &#x2014; Formation of the Azure Stars guild, sub-guild to the Adventurer&apos;s Guild in Liburn.
 * 5071 &#x2014; Current year.
