Revision as of 00:46, 31 May 2009

Rough notes. Timeline of major events needs to be worked out.

In a moment of perfect beauty, the divine creators of the Universe breathe life into their greatest creation, the Doobies.

Draconian race rules supreme.
Draconian Bahamut creates Reis, the first Burmecian.
Bahamut wars with other Draconian sorcerers. Additional Burmecians created as elite troops.
End of the Draconians. Many were presumably killed by Burmecian Dragoons.
Reis and the surviving Burmecians leave the Draconians behind and travel into the desert to the northwest.
Elven civilization rises.
Elves evolve into FLYING ELVES!
Corgryn race created by the Gentry.
Goblins rise to power.

Flying elf cities crash and burn.
Goblin civilization devastated by necromantic disaster. Homeland sinks beneath the waves in the Sea of Ghosts.
Burmecian civilization established.

Humans get their act together. Federated Kingdoms of Solaris formed. A new age (for humans at least) of exploration, colonization and conquest begins.
Kobold horde, under the direction of Tiamat, destroys Burmecia. Less than a thousand survivors abandon their desert home to the Kobolds.
New Burmecia founded.
Tiamat abandons Kobolds, who split up into numerous camps. Each with a terrible fear of anything draconian.

-200: Achaen king dies without clear heir. Vyntril and Gorgossa both lay claim to the kingdom. War of Achaen Succession triggers conflicts across what is now the Federated Kingdoms, eventually involving all the nations of Solaris.
-180: Treaty of Federation ends Solaris conflicts. Solus emerges as the dominant power and forms the Federated Kingdoms of Solaris. Vyntril and Gorgossa forced to join at swordpoint. Other nations either allied with Solus or eager for conflict to end.
-160 to -140: Golden Age of Human Exploration. Economic boom caused by peace and increased trade channeled into overseas trade, exploration and colonization. Engelhafen freeport founded in Everoc. Lindwurm "discovered" but unclaimed after objections from other powers.
-100 to -90: General Rain rises to power and unites the sergal under her banner.
- 90 to -85: Sergal Empire conquers everything in sight. Rest of world craps pants.
-70: General Rain vanishes after thirty years of rule. Sergal expansion ends.
-52: Vyntril Revolution. A corrupt Oligarchy is replaced with a truer and more open form of democracy.
-46: Osroene achieves independence.

Other things that happened- Need to be placed in a time category

We need some arbitrary year zero for fluff purposes. Referencing events as 40 or 400 years ago doesn't have the same zing as 1297 or 832. Ideally it should be an event big enough that all races would acknowledge it.
Goblins rise to power. I'm thinking they come to power after the fall of the Draconians. Possibly at the same time at the elves. Did the elves create flying cities to escape goblin domination?
Goblin civilization devastated by necromantic disaster. Homeland sinks beneath the waves in the Sea of Ghosts. Necrostorms unleashed. This is a good time to inundate the surrounding coasts, creating the Lizardfolk and Doobie swamps. A time of great cataclysm like this would also be a good time for the flying cities to crash and burn.
