====== Introduction ====== One of the most difficult parts of understanding the lore of //Mortal Online// and //Mortal Online 2// is establishing a rough mental idea of the setting's timeline. Unfortunately, on [[Nave]] time only has meaning most of the time and exact dates are far and few in-between. **This page is a very loose and highly speculative historical outline based on multiple in-game and out-of-game sources.** **Many events are missing for lack of any information, and the page will likely always remain speculative due to the nature of //Mortal Online's// lore.** **Everything here will be subject to constant adjustment as more lore information is released, and should be both consumed and referenced accordingly.** **For brevity, only summaries are included. Please refer to the referenced pages for additional details about any specific event or subject.** ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ====== On the Measurement of Time ====== Due to a mix of lost records and very likely the intervention of the [[Gods]], numerous epochs and measurements of time have been declared by the cultures of [[Nave]]. In an attempt to keep things as close to consistent as possible, this page relies on [[Tindremene|Tindremic]] measurements from [[#The Age of Dawning]] and onward. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== Anno/Aetos Thyndromos, AT or Suthi Thyndromos, ST ===== Established at the time of [[Tindrem|Tindrem's]] foundation, the oldest surviving [[Tindremene|Tindremic]] calendar began with the rule of the first count: //Anno/Aetos Thyndromos//, sometimes also written as //Suthi Thyndromos//. Events prior to this era were marked with negative values, for example //–243 AT//. Surviving texts from this period use //AT// or //ST// consistently. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== Ante Confluvium, AC & Novo Tindrem, NT ===== The various cultures of [[Nave]]—and even the people within a given culture—could not agree upon how much time had passed after [[The Conflux]] and [[Tindrem#The Conflux & The Great Washout|The Great Washout]], with a wide range of perceived years estimated to have passed by any given individual. This confusion led to the declaration of a new epoch and a new calendar era in [[Tindrem]] called //Novo Tindrem// or simply //NT//. Likewise, to track events preceding //The Conflux//, the term //Ante Confluvium// was used. Writings from this era typically employ NT for contemporary events, or AC when approximating anything prior. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== Ante Decollator, A:eD & Anno Decollator, A:oD / AD ===== Once more, as with [[The Conflux]], the various cultures of [[Nave]] could not agree upon [[Tindremic Empire#Counting the Days|how much time had passed]] since the earthquakes which marked the end of [[The Irruption]] shook the planet. Initial estimations placed the year as //400 NT// but [[Tindremic Empire#Counting the Days|as many as 50 years had gone missing]] after further investigation by various scholars. This brought the whole [[Tindremic Empire#Theurgy – The Spirit|Theurgy]] to a deadlock until the [[Tindremic Empire#Tricapita – The Three-Head|Tricapita]] stepped in and ordered the slate wiped clean by starting a new epoch. The new calendar era would use //Anno Decollator (A:oD or simply AD)// in honor of the new //Imperator// or //Emperor// //Livi Avitus Decollator//, and all previous years would use //Ante Decollator (A:eD)// and be approximations. The royal //Auspices// foresaw bad omens in starting the count at zero, but [[Tindremic Empire#Counting the Days|voted in favor of continuing the tradition of turning the year at the winter solstice]]. Finally, [[Tindremic Empire#Counting the Days|when the start of winter came]] the year went from //Unknown AD// to //1 AD//. ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ====== Pre-History ====== //"Pre-history"// here refers to the period prior to [[The Sundering of Asterra]] and the establishment of the [[Gods#The Rule of Dawning & Evolution|Rule of Dawning]]. //Asterra// was the supercontinent which all of [[Nave|Nave's]] modern continents were split from. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Sith Pari ===== The [[Pari|Sith Pari]] were an ancient civilization of [[Alvarin|Alvarin-like]] humanoids living in western //Asterra// on the land which would later become the continent of [[Sarducaa]]. Based on surviving writing in the form of logograms, they had developed significant advancements in and had an unparalleled understanding of [[Magic#Spiritism|Spiritism]] and the [[Etherworld]]. The //Pari// vanished prior to or as a consequence of [[The Sundering of Asterra]], leaving behind only their writings and [[Sheevra|Sheevra-like]] stone structures. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== Kamin Mara ===== Also known as the //Glass Furnace//, [[Sarducaa#Pre-Sundering History|Kamin Mara]] was formed in southwestern //Asterra//—land which would later become part of the continent of [[Sarducaa]]—by unknown causes either prior to or during [[The Sundering of Asterra]]. It is possible that the supercontinent of //Asterra// derived its name as a result of a //"star"// or [[Gods|God]] falling to the ground and forming //Kamin Mara//, though it just as likely could indicate that the continent knew well the touch of the //Gods//. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Shinarian Civilization ===== The [[Shinaria|Shinarian Civilization]] was a highly-advanced society centered around the south of //Asterra//, known to encompass at least some of what would become [[Myrland]] and very likely all of pre-sunken [[Sidoia]]. They engaged in slavery and kept at least one slave race, as exemplified by the [[Sidoian|Sidoians]] who have survived into the modern day. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Huérgar or Proto-Huérgar ===== The [[Huergar|Huérgar]] of the [[Oghmir]] clade at this point in time had either already become //Huérgar// through the intervention of [[Gods#Oghma]] or were still primitive cave-dwelling humans. In either case, the group had some degree of contact with the [[Shinaria|Shinarian Civilization]], were part of it, and/or worshiped one or more of the same [[Gods]] leading to cultural diffusion visible in both their language and symbolism. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Sundering of Asterra ===== //The Sundering of Asterra// was a cataclysmic event of unclear cause and circumstance which saw //Asterra// torn apart, and even caused a sizeable portion of [[Nave]] to sink into the sea. The event marked the end of the [[Shinaria|Shinarian Civilization]] and potentially also the disappearance of the [[Pari|Sith Pari]] had they not already vanished prior. [[Urmothar|Urmothâr]] in the south-east, [[Sidoia]] in the south-west, [[Sarducaa]] in the west, and [[Nordveld]] in the north-west fell apart from [[Myrland]], as the tectonic plates of the southern hemisphere sunk several hundred meters into the ocean. //Sidoia// itself perhaps fared the worst, with most of its former landmass dragged under the waves. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Rule of Dawning ===== The [[Gods#The Rule of Dawning & Evolution|Rule of Dawning]] was an agreement between the [[Gods]] of [[Nave]] to no longer interfere with evolution of the mortal races through forceful and/or unwilling modification of their [[Etherworld#Sheut – The Shadow or Mold|Sheut]]. An ancient [[Khurite#Khurite Religion|Khurite prophecy]] once suggested [[Gods#Jumal|Jumal "The Sky Father"]] would return in yoni shape to herald a new age for mankind as part of this or a similar event. ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ====== The Age of Dawning ====== //The Age of Dawning// refers to the period after [[The Sundering of Asterra]] beginning after the [[Gods]] may have established the [[Gods#The Rule of Dawning & Evolution|Rule of Dawning]] up to [[The Conflux]]. This era may have been depicted by //Mortal Online's// [[Candles|candle promotion]]. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Founding of Tindrem, 0 AT, Est. -1140 AC ===== What would later become the [[Tindremic Empire|Tindremic Empire's]] capital city of [[Tindrem]] on [[Myrland]] was built with the assistance of the [[Huergar|Húergar]]. Later analyses of structural materials confirmed that the city slowly expanded in circles on the water from the fortress //Arx Primoris// which was carved from //Mons Regalis//—or as the //Húergar// know it, //Ušumgallu Seru//—alongside the great //Colossi Geminus//—towering statues of the old [[Tindremene|Tindremic]] deities [[Gods#Zelua|Zelua]] & [[Gods#Camulos|Camulos]]. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Imperial Campaigns, Unknown AT to Est. 1173 AT, -Unknown AC to Est. 32 AC ===== Claiming to be the blood descendants of the [[Shinaria|Shinarian Civilization]] and allegedly employing the might of [[Dragon|Dragons]], the [[Tindremene|Tindremenes]] began their conquest of [[Myrland]]. The campaigns would continue until the end of the era, with incursions into [[Herabalter]], expeditions to [[Urmothar|Urmothâr]], and centuries of [[Nordveld#Pre-Conflux History|constant warring with Nordveld]] over control of the island along //Tecton's Fault//. Some allege this success to be directly tied to the //Tindremic Empire's// use of the [[Armillogion]], suggesting that the purpose of the device itself was to create such an empire. The campaigns ended with the [[Sarducaa#Zanthenes|failed occupation of Sarducaa]] and the [[Nordveld#The Nordveld Campaign|failed invasion of Nordveld]] just prior to [[The Conflux]]. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Khurite Victory, Unknown AT, -Unknown AC ===== [[Khurite]] tales speak of a legendary bird creature named [[Gods#Geeredh]] which led them to victory against a great and terrible serpent, very likely alluding to the [[Tindremene|Tindremenes]] and their alleged [[Dragon]] assistance. This may also explain why the //Tindremenes// never permanently subjugated and integrated [[Myrland|Myrland's]] //Khurite// population into the [[Tindremic Empire]], as well as the many skeletal remains of //Dragons// scattered across //Myrland//. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Departure of the Huérgar, Est. 1173 AT, Est. 33 AC ===== During the invasion of [[Nordveld]], the [[Tindremic Empire]] attempted to trick and later convince a number of [[Huergar|Húergar]] architects into assisting with the siege of [[Rimfrost]], for it was constructed by the [[Blainn]] in a remarkable fashion and nigh-unsiegeable otherwise. When the //Húergar// architects arrived and realized that they were supposed to take part in fighting the //Blainn// they immediately refused, and promises of spoils from //Rimfrost// or huge sums of gold merely insulted them. The infuriated //Húergar// marched alone back to [[Myrland]], and the ancient alliance between the two peoples was fractured irreparably. Upon hearing the news of this perceived betrayal, many of the //Húergar// living above ground on //Myrland// left for their underground capital of [[Gal Barag]], and it was not long until all of the //Húergar// gates to the underground were sealed. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Fall of Gabaria, Est. 1272 AT, 132 AC ===== [[Gaul'kor|Gabaria]] was a [[Tindremic Empire|Tindremic mining colony]] and settlement on the border of [[Herabalter]] which weathered a number of [[Risar]] assaults prior to falling and evacuating in 132 A.C. This evacuation culminated in the [[Third Battle of Nereb Madgulu]], with very few //Gabarian// civilians surviving and the loss of the entire //auxiliary cohort// sent to secure them against the //Risar Horde//. After its fall, //Gabaria// took on the name of //Gaul'kor// and became a den for smugglers, outcasts, and a small permanent population of //Risar//. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Conflux, Unknown AT, Unknown AC ===== With the //Imperial Campaigns// effectively stalled, [[Nave]] would experience another disaster of unclear cause and circumstance known as [[The Conflux]]. The most recorded shape the disaster took was that of unrelenting earthquakes which shook the planet, leading to the //Bridge of [[Gods#Tecton|Tecton]]// which rested along //Tecton's Fault// collapsing, portions of [[Tindrem]] [[Tindrem#The Conflux & The Great Washout|sinking in part or in whole]], among other disasters. Of particular note was the sinking of //Tindrem's// //Vica Iudico//, for as it sunk it took with it irreplaceable knowledge as well as the [[Armillogion]], leaving the device in a state of irreparability even after it or its remains were recovered. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Great Washout, Unknown AT, Unknown AC ===== In connection with [[The Conflux]] a secondary disaster called [[Tindrem#The Conflux & The Great Washout|The Great Washout]] befell [[Tindrem]]. The name may originate from when the foul-smelling tanneries and fisheries in the northern part of the city simply sank into the ocean, or when all kinds of abominations that had thrived unknown in the sewer system were swept out to sea to the horror of the residents during the following flood. The disaster did not end there however, for //Lucus Quies//—//Tindrem's// inner graveyard which acted as an ancient burial ground for notable [[Tindremene|Tindremenes]] and had run out of space long before //The Great Washout//—also partially sunk into the sea and from its disturbed soil the dead began to rise. ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ====== The Age of Strife ====== The //Age of Strife// began with the [[Tindremic Empire|Tindremic Empire's]] decline, the middle to late-middle of this age was the setting of //Mortal Online//, and the age itself truly ended with [[The Irruption]]. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Khurite-Tindremene Alliance, Unknown NT ===== While [[Tindremene|Tindremic]] records indicate a somewhat uneasy alliance had been established with the [[Khurites]] through their capital city of [[Morin Khur]], it's unclear what particular tribe this agreement was brokered with, when it was brokered, or if many of [[Myrland|Myrland's]] //Khurites// were even aware of it at all. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== On Warlords & Petty Feuds, Unknown NT ===== The setting of //Mortal Online//. The early [[Armillogion|researchers and dreamers of greater things]] during this period were quickly overwhelmed by countless petty warlords who vied for feudal control of [[Myrland]]. While minor attempts were made by the warlords at challenging the authority of the [[Tindremic Empire]], any serious threats which might have resulted in organized rebellion were swiftly put down by the //Tindremic Imperator's// champions. Some of them even attempted to establish new independent nations, though none manifested a permanent and prosperous settlement in the face of their endless wars. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Risar Invasion, Unknown NT ===== While the petty warlords fought over their mountains of dirt, the [[Risar|Risar Horde]] staged a full-fledged invasion of [[Myrland]]. Some of the warlords thought the //Risar// convenient, for they brought with them plentiful [[Pig Iron]] and [[Grain Steel]] with which to forge their own armaments in the field, and these materials could be easily pilfered. This is not a strategy which worked out in the warlords' favor, as the //Risar// quickly sacked both keep and village alike without mercy, eliminating the warlords themselves and eventually reaching even the gates of [[Morin Khur]]. A temporary alliance between several of the surviving factions in the east saw the //Risar// pushed back to [[Herabalter]], but unnoticed contingents settled and spread in the south, once again capitalizing on the hubris of the local warlords to devastating effect. One of the groups from the east who originally pushed back the //Risar// and another from the south banded together to purge the invasion from //Myrland//, and so they made good on their word. The //Risar// would not again attempt another invasion for the rest of the era. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Tribe Rat Invasion, Unknown NT ===== As the [[Risar]] invasion swept across [[Myrland]], a significant number of [[Tribe Rat|Tribe Rats]] also capitalized on the chaos of the era, meeting little to no resistance as they expanded from the hills and mountains north of [[Cave Camp]] all the way to the north side of [[Tindrem#Introduction|Mons Regalis]] itself. Upon reaching //Mons Regalis// the invasion burrowed its way into the [[Tindrem Sewers]], marking the first time the creatures had been sighted in its depths. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Tagmatons, Unknown NT ===== As if a warning for what was to come, a small number of [[Tagmaton|Tagmatons]] began to appear on the //Plains of [[Meduli]]// and the [[Canteri]] region around this time. While the [[Tindremic Empire]] considered the insects to be hostile invaders, they did not consider them a serious threat in such small numbers and thus delegated their extermination to mercenaries. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The First Reconstruction of the Bridge of Tecton, Unknown NT ===== For a brief window many of [[Myrland|Myrland's]] petty warlords cooperated with the [[Tindremic Empire]] in the reconstruction of the //Bridge of [[Gods#Tecton|Tecton]]// situated along //Tecton's Fault//, restoring land access to the continent of [[Sarducaa]] and enabling them to fight over sand as well. Unlike the several failed challenges leveraged against the [[Tindremic Empire]] by the warlords, for reasons unknown there were no recorded challenges issued against the //Sarducaan Empire//, and the feudal wars simply continued in a new locale. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Irruption, Unknown NT ===== The small number of [[Tagmaton|Tagmatons]] first spotted earlier in the era were but a minor splash compared to the massive tsunami which would sweep across most of [[Nave]] during [[The Irruption]]. On [[Myrland]] they first disembarked in the southern part of the continent, secretly nesting in the //Stairs of Echidna// and the //Sunken Isles// before making their clattering advance over the steppes in waves. First came the //Fleshbiters//, black clouds of foot-long locusts devouring crops and cattle alike. Following in the devastating wake of the //Fleshbiters// came six legged //Slayers// of varying castes. Towering above men, bearing scythes, burrowing below ground and releasing venomous projectiles, nothing could stand in their way. It was not long until life on //Myrland// was brought to the brink. Some say the feuding warlords never stopped fighting until the villages and cities of //Myrland// had been overrun, while others say they continued to fight one another even as the //Fleshbiters// bit at their skin and the //Slayers// cut their legs out from under them. However, when all seemed lost, a number of great earthquakes shook the ground, and then—for whatever inscrutable reason—the numberless //Tagmatons// suddenly dispersed even faster than they had once appeared. [[Nordveld]] only fared slightly better than //Myrland//, with the hordes [[Nordveld#The Fate of The Kallards|devastating the continent's southern settlements]], but leaving the northern city of [[Branth]] untouched. On [[Sarducaa]], while [[Beth Jedda]] [[Sarducaa#The Tagmaton Onslaught|suffered significant casualties]] and [[Aur]] was [[Sarducaa#The Tagmaton Onslaught|wiped out completely]], most of the continent were able to shelter in the magi temple complex of [[Yesil]] or in newly discovered caves. ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ====== The Age of Awakening ====== The //Age of Awakening// began with the earthquakes which coincided with the end of [[The Irruption]] and continues into the present. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== Tindrem's Awakening, Unknown A:eD ===== Climbing out of [[Tindrem|Tindrem's]] sewers were the [[Tindremic Empire#Eeta – The Excrement|Eeta]], [[Tindremic Empire#Slaves – The Feet|Slaves]], and lower [[Tindremic Empire#Plebeians – The Body|Plebeians]], who had survived down in the dark. Out of [[Tindrem#Introduction|Arx Primoris]] came a procession of the remaining [[Tindremic Empire#Tricapita – The Three-Head|Tricapita]] and a few of the [[Tindremic Empire#Theurgy – The Spirit|Theurgy]] and [[Tindremic Empire#Nobilitas – The Nobles|Nobilitas]] who had been allowed protection in the great fortress. The higher castes had no way of ordering or controlling the lower without the help of a city guard or an army, and [[Tindremic Empire#The Awakening of Tindrem|complete civil disorder ensued]]. The chaos only lasted for a period, as most of the fighting reflected a king of the hill race for the best villas in //Vica Despectus//. One would have thought that this juxtaposition of the castes might have resulted in the end of the old caste system and give rise to a new social order, but [[Tindremic Empire#The Awakening of Tindrem|the opposite happened as the temporary disorganization somehow strengthened it further]]. The new //Nobilitas// rather quickly assimilated into their roles and numerous new caste marks saw the light of day. When the storm inside of the city walls had finally settled, the //Tricapita// yet again emerged, only this time to be [[Tindremic Empire#The Awakening of Tindrem|met by posh clapping and courteous fawning]] by a new upper class. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== Formation of The Khurite Allied Tribes, Unknown A:eD ===== After [[The Irruption]], what remained of the [[Myrland]] [[Khurite]] tribes [[Khurite#The Khurite Allied Tribes|met on the steppe for a traditional quadrennial gathering]] which would become pivotal among the surviving [[Khurite#Life in a Myrland Khurite Tribe|Moguls]]. As the tribes [[Khurite#The Khurite Allied Tribes|were heavily decimated and struggled with propagation and resources]], an interim confederation was set up to better aid all [[Khurite#Life in a Myrland Khurite Tribe|Khurens]] until the world was back to normal. The coalition was ruled by a //Tribunal// consisting of the tribe //Moguls//, itself led by a provisional chief of state, the //Deed Mogul//, with a permanent head office in [[Morin Khur]]. Thus the first //Deed Mogul//, //Ulagan khy Ulagan//, took command of the new alliance. Part of the //Tribunal// were also the [[Sheevra|Sheevran]] and [[Veela|Veelan]] emissaries from [[Toxai]], where both races have small colonies. When the caches of //Morin Khur// started to dwindle, [[Alvarin]] shipments with supplies started to arrive from their home continent [[Urmothar|Urmothâr]], which didn't seem to have been as grievously afflicted by //The Irruption// as //Myrland//. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Rebuilding of the Sarducaan Empire, Unknown A:eD to Present ===== Among the survivors from the capital of [[Beth Jedda]] on [[Sarducaa]] was the //Padishahbanu//—the assumedly immortal //Sarducaan Empress// known as [[Sarducaa#Labbah Quarachath|Labbah Madar]]—along with most of her court and personal bodyguard. Under her leadership, [[Sarducaa#The Tagmaton Onslaught|the rebuilding of Beth Jedda and the re-establishment of the Sarducaan Empire started]] rather swiftly once [[The Irruption]] had passed. Once rebuilt, the capital of [[Beth Jedda]] saw a drastic increase in population, and the imperial army grew together alongside the troops of the [[Sarducaa#The Sepats|Sepats]]. Officially this was by decree of the //Padishahbanu// for protection against another [[Tagmaton]] outbreak, although other forces may be at play as the leaches of the [[Yequedah]] in [[Yesil]] are reportedly stronger than ever. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== Death of the Tindremic Imperator, 43 A:eD to 44 A:eD ===== The earthquakes which marked the end of [[The Irruption]] took with them into the sea the academy [[Tindrem#Pre-Irruption Magic & Science|Clerus Magica]] together with many of the pillars in the rest of //Vica Levita//, and collapsed the proud lighthouse [[Tindrem#Introduction|Pharos Maximus]]. All of the [[Huergar|Huérgar-built]] structures on firm ground had withstood the tremors, including the city walls and its grand entrance //Porto Majora//. This constituted a problem, however, as none of the surviving citizens could figure out how to open its gates. Futile attempts were made to knock down the doors of metal-infused [[Gabore]], and finally the //Imperator// or //Emperor// decided they would be [[Tindrem#The Escape From Tindrem|blown up with alchemy in a grand spectacle culminating in a triumphant exodus]]. In the ensuing festivities, something went wrong and most of the procession—including the //Imperator//—were blasted to pieces. It took [[Tindrem#The Escape From Tindrem|many months of hard work to instead break down the surrounding tower and dig out the ground]] so that the doors could be toppled over and dragged to //Forum Tindrem//. People could exit the city by land in approximately //44 A:eD//. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== Reunion of the Tindremic Provinces, 44 A:eD ===== The reunion with the other towns and villages in the Tindremic Provinces of [[Myrland]]—most importantly [[Fabernum]], [[Meduli]], and [[Kranesh]]—should have been jubilant, but instead became problematic for the remaining [[Tindremic Empire#Tricapita – The Three-Head|Tricapita]]. The almost-desolate but stubborn village of //Kranesh// [[Tindremic Empire#The Provinces|chased the emissaries away with pitchforks]], and the other provinces were talkative but condemned how little help they had received both during [[The Irruption]] and afterwards. Secondly, they were [[Tindremic Empire#The Provinces|critical of the demands to now themselves send help]], including new citizens, to the capital. Thirdly, they had managed to get on their feet on their own accord and had no desire to welcome interfering //Procurators//, tax collectors, and political intrigue into their self-sustaining communities. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Dicapita & Constitutio Mundanus Tindrem, 44 A:eD to Est. 93 A:eD ===== Various attempts were made to come to terms with the //Provincial// leaders, including both cajolery and empty threats. As a final resort, the [[Tindremic Empire#Tricapita – The Three-Head|Tricapita]] hatched the idea to [[Tindremic Empire#The Dicapita & Constitutio Mundanus Tindrem|entice the leaders of the provinces]] with the tantalizing chance at becoming the new //Imperator// or //Emperor//. The stratagem worked and led to nearly [[Tindremic Empire#The Dicapita & Constitutio Mundanus Tindrem|half a century of discussions where an Emperor-less temporary constitution was formed]]: //The Dicapita//, consisting of only the two cunning [[Tindremic Empire#Tricapita – The Three-Head|Ephors]]. During this time the //Constitutio Mundanus Tindrem// was promulgated, granting [[Tindremic Empire|Tindremic citizenship]] to all free people living in [[Myrland]] who migrated into the mostly empty city of [[Tindrem]] alongside [[Tindremic Empire#The Dicapita & Constitutio Mundanus Tindrem|a number of benefits]]. The //Dicapita// tightened its grip on the //Provinces//, mobilized a new army and city guard, and secured the sovereignty of the capital. The new soldiers were [[Tindremic Empire#The Dicapita & Constitutio Mundanus Tindrem|sent on "hunting missions" to the steppe]] and came back with both meat and valuable trinkets. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Tindremic Steppe Incursions, Est. 93 A:eD to 9 AD ===== The [[Khurite#The Khurite Allied Tribes|Tribunal of The Khurite Allied Tribes]] rallied a few warriors from time to time to scare off the occasional [[Tindremic Empire#The Dicapita & Constitutio Mundanus Tindrem|Tindremic poachers]], but for the [[Khurite#Life in a Myrland Khurite Tribe|Khurens]] and the individual [[Khurite|Khurites]] the sense of autonomy hadn't been affected. Not long after the //Tindremic poachers// soon grew to bands of plunderers, which upon investigation revealed their true nature to be [[Tindremic Empire#The Dicapita & Constitutio Mundanus Tindrem|imperial soldiers on "hunting missions"]]. It didn’t take long until the raiders came undisguised in //contubers// and full //centurias//, and for a few years the tension between the two nations escalated. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== Imperator Livi Avitus Decollator & The Dicapitation, 0 AD, 3 A:eD ===== Among the [[Tindremic Empire#Nobilitas – The Nobles|Nobilitas]], now strengthened by the growing population, a new bloodline of particularly sharp talents in political chicanery grew, and—as is customary in [[Tindrem]]—this era ended with gamesmanship and backstabbing. One day the two [[Tindremic Empire#Tricapita – The Three-Head|Ephors]] were found without their heads, and from the shadows stepped //Livi Avitus Decollator// to take the throne as //Imperator// or //Emperor// in //3 A:eD//. The reinstated [[Tindremic Empire#Tricapita – The Three-Head|Tricapita]] tore up the //Constitutio Mundanus Tindrem// and dispatched the rule of the [[Tindremic Empire#The Dicapita & Constitutio Mundanus Tindrem|Dicapita]] into the history books—henceforth jocularly called the //"Decapita"// in popular parlance. An astute observer may note that the date of the //Imperator's// ascent to the throne in //3 A:eD// is terribly wrong, but all records of the event reflect the aforementioned date when converted from [[#Novo Tindrem, NT|NT (Novo Tindrem)]] as well as the order of events listed here. It is very likely that the perception of time after [[The Irruption]] still had yet to normalize. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== Restoration of The Tower of Descensus, Est. 8 AD ===== Seeking to expand the [[Tindremic Empire|Tindremic Empire's]] influence in the east, //Imperator Livi Avitus Decollator// ordered the restoration of the [[Tower of Descensus]] on [[Myrland|Myrland's]] eastern coast, a fair distance south of [[Toxai]] in the //Eastern Glen//. The structure itself was an ancient monastery of [[Tindremene|Tindremic]] and [[Huergar|Huérgar]] construction dedicated to [[Gods#Mors|Mors]], the //Tindremic// //God of Death// built during the //Imperial Campaigns//. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The "Heroic Conquest of Morin Khur", 9 AD ===== Tensions between the [[Tindremic Empire]] and the [[Khurite#Khurites]] as a result of the //Empire's// [[Tindremic Empire#Tindremic Empire#The Dicapita & Constitutio Mundanus Tindrem|"hunting trips"]] culminated when a small group of allegedly [[Tindremic Empire#Alis – The Wings|Tindremic Draconigena Knights]] managed to skulk their way into [[Morin Khur]] and massacre the entire [[Khurite#The Khurite Allied Tribes|Tribunal of the Khurite Allied Tribes]], who were all heavily drunk on //airag// and bathing in a //sweat ger//. Whether the //Empire// knew it or not, one of these //Tribunes// were a representative of the [[Alvarin|Anam Sith]] and [[Khurite#The Assassination of An Emperor|the act would not go unforgotten]]. After this exemplary [[Tindremene|Tindremic]] stratagemma, the gates to the [[Khurite]] capital were swung open, letting in a cohort led by a triumphant //Livi Avitus Decollator// himself. This //"battle"// went down in the //Tindremic// history books as the //Heroic Conquest of Morin Khur//. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Khurite Resistance, 9 AD to Present ===== Contrary to disrupting the [[Khurite]] tribes, the taking of [[Morin Khur]] united them and fully cemented their alliance. For the past 30 years the new [[Khurite#The Khurite Allied Tribes|Tribunal]], led by //Toroi Bandi//—//"Toroi the Outlaw"//—has waged guerrilla warfare against anything [[Tindremene|Tindremic]] on the steppes with the ultimate goal of recapturing the former capital. Rumor has it that this rebellion has ties reaching as far as [[Kranesh]], although this may just be //Tindremic// propaganda as the village remains a thorn in [[Tindrem|Tindrem's]] side for its continued refusal to rejoin the //Provinces//. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Assassination of Imperator Livi Avitus Decollator, 11 AD ===== The conflict between the [[Tindremic Empire]] and the [[Khurite#The Khurite Allied Tribes|Khurite Allied Tribes]] would take another turn when two [[Alvarin]] assassins allegedly took the life of //Imperator Livi Avitus Decollator//. This act of retaliation ironically weakened the //Khurite Allied Tribes//, as the [[Alvarin|Anam Sith]] considered the death of their //Tribune// properly avenged and the matter settled, [[Khurite#The Assassination of An Emperor|subsequently withdrawing their support in the conflict]]. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Restoration of The Tower of Descensus Halts, Est. 11 AD ===== Shortly after the //Imperator Livi Avitus Decollator's// assassination, the [[Tindremic Empire|Tindremic Empire's]] efforts to reconstruct the [[Tower of Descensus]] were abandoned despite significant progress and incredible sums of gold being invested into the project. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== Imperator Isaios Avitus, 12 AD ===== Ever since the annexation of [[Morin Khur]], the [[Tindremic Empire#Tricapita – The Three-Head|Tricapita]] has argued on the next steps to expand the [[Tindremic Empire]]. Following the unfortunate death of //Imperator Livi Avitus Decollator//—who was officially and publicly reported as to have died of heart failure—his son //Isaios Avitus// ascended the throne at the modest age of 13. Although quite popular among the [[Tindremene|Tindremic]] citizens during his first decades as //Imperator// or //Emperor//, very little happened on the national or political fronts as his areas of interest during the time seemingly revolved around spectacles, music and games. While this led to a slightly increased autonomy for the provincial towns, the situation with //Morin Khur// and the [[Khurite#The Khurite Allied Tribes|Khurite Allied Tribes]] remained turbulent. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Restoration of The Tower of Descensus Resumes, Est. 15 AD to Est. 25 AD ===== //Gnaeus Ativus Tesqua, Procurator of [[Morin Khur]]// and son of //Imperator Livi Avitus Decollator// ordered that the restoration of the [[Tower of Descensus]] resume, seeking to complete the [[Tindremic Empire|Tindremic Empire's]] work and fully restore the tower. Contact with the officials dispatched to the monastery became increasingly infrequent and unusual—with a subtle fixation on the ocean, sea birds, and the earth beneath the tower—before halting completely and the project once more being abandoned. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Missing Kallardian Fleet, Est. 19 AD ===== The first expedition from [[Nordveld]] to approach [[Myrland]] after [[The Irruption]] was a failed attack on [[Meduli]] where the currents of the //Inner Sea// seem to have been underestimated, leading to most of the fleet disappearing down the //Fault of Tecton//, never to be heard of again. A few late coming ships managed to reach shore around //Meduli// and the haggard crew [[Nordveld#The Missing Fleet|immediately surrendered in favor of a few years worth of penal servitude]], as long as food was included. It so turned out that the ravening gang was the sole surviving population of a small coastal village east of //Fensalir Mire//, which had simply [[Nordveld#The Missing Fleet|abandoned their territory and set sail for a better future]]. [[Nordveld#The Missing Fleet|Their population would come to flourish]], with most working in the fishing trade; some as new citizens of the [[Tindremic Empire]], others still considering themselves [[Kallard|Kallards]]. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Branthian Sack of Tindrem's Harbor, 29 AD ===== The second expedition from [[Nordveld]] to [[Myrland]] was a carefully planned attack on [[Tindrem|Tindrem's]] harbor by a fleet from [[Branth]] led by //Ingunna the Drummer, Noaid of Skadi//. When the [[Tindremene|Tindremic]] ships had anchored, the crew disembarked and the port hands were about to unload the brimming hulls, //Ingunna's// infiltrators [[Nordveld#The Branthian Sack of Tindrem's Harbor|set fire to the surrounding harbor]]. In the ensuing chaos and under cover of night, [[Nordveld#The Branthian Sack of Tindrem's Harbor|her fast rowing ships swept in with small crews]] to man the trade fleet and quickly sail it out to sea, [[Magic#Harmonism|carried by a southern wind people would swear was as unnatural]] as the profound drumming from the accompanying ships. The audacious move took the //Tindremenes// by complete surprise, and if it hadn't been for [[Magic#Harmonism|the strange wind blowing the flames towards the sea]], the fires would have surely spelled disaster for several vicas. Rumors circulated that //Imperator Isaios Avitus// would not be disturbed during all this bedlam as he was [[Nordveld#The Branthian Sack of Tindrem's Harbor|preoccupied with enjoying a particularly well-composed suite]] on lyre and hornucopian dronepipe. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Varborgian Delegation, 32 AD ===== For the first time in 400 years an official delegation from [[Varborg]] arrived in [[Tindrem]] to [[Nordveld#The Varborgian Delegation|seek an audience]] with the [[Tindremic Empire#Tricapita – The Three-Head|Tricapita]]. The delegation was led by none other than //Bárd Laglegur//, the current //Länshövding of Varborg//, who claimed direct descendence from the famous [[Tindremene|Tindremic]] general //Cassian Andel Bellus//, [[Nordveld#The Nordveld Campaign|the original conqueror of the city]]. The //Varborgian// ruler sought a treaty with the old [[Tindremic Empire]] or even a reunion, and had brought valuable gifts as well as a boatload of famous //Varborgian Ale//. //Imperator Isaios Avitus// [[Nordveld#The Varborgian Delegation|dismissed the tribute]] with the now famous dictum //"Wine smells like nectar, beer smells like goat."//, and went on to accuse //Bárd// for [[Nordveld#The Branthian Sack of Tindrem's Harbor|the Branthian attack]], demanding //Ingunna's// head on a plate before any negotiations would take place. [[Nordveld#The Varborgian Delegation|Efforts were made to explain the somewhat complex governmental system]] of [[Nordveld]] and the fact that there's no sovereign ruler—meaning //Bárd// had nothing to do with the attack and held no power over neither [[Branth]] nor //Ingunna//. //"I am not king. The people is king."// said //Bárd// finally in broken //Tindremic//, but //Imperator Isaios Avitus// would hear nothing of it. He replied that if //Bárd// was [[Nordveld#The Varborgian Delegation|not the king he was just an entertainer]]—a mere jester at the imperial court—and it seems a deeply affronted //Bárd// and delegation barely managed to hastily set sail back to //Nordveld// before swords were crossed. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== State of the Tindremic Empire, 32 AD to Present ===== In the years after //32 AD//, [[Tindrem]] has been [[Tindrem#A Swift Recovery|steadily increasing in population]], especially as some of the boating commerce and migration from [[Sarducaa]] and [[Nordveld]] have returned [[Tindrem#Introduction|despite the lack of a proper lighthouse]]. Meanwhile, the other //Tindremic Provinces// are also thriving. The //Spica// fish is back in the //Western Inner Sea//, and proper fisheries are starting to re-emerge in [[Meduli]], while [[Fabernum]] has an abundance of game and is reopening several of its old mines in the //Talus Mountains//. [[Obrig]] has seen an influx of settlers who are just starting organized irrigation to rebuild its great farms and vineyards, and [[Tindrem#A Swift Recovery|construction of decent roads between the towns]] are well on their way. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Diádima Outbreak, Est. 39 AD to Present ===== A recent [[Tindrem#The Diádima Outbreak|outbreak of a contagious and particularly lingering illness]] in [[Tindrem]] has led the authorities to close off certain vicas and isolate the harbor, a quarantine which has lasted more than a year and made trade, migration, and fleet construction cumbersome and slow. The sickness is called //Diádima// from the spots forming around the heads of the infected, and although the mortality is low, the symptoms [[Tindrem#The Diádima Outbreak|include a severe fatigue rendering the afflicted almost helpless]]. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ===== The Present, Est. 40 AD ===== The setting of //Mortal Online 2//. [[Bandit|Bandits]] roam the lands in countless encampments, the [[Risar]] have established a great number of small fortifications as far west as //Deepwood//, and the [[Tagmaton]] hordes once more threaten [[Myrland]]. With the [[Hivebreakers]] alone unable to keep up with the //Tagmaton// reckoning and the inhabitants of //Myrland// once more caught up in frivolous feudal conflicts, the continent appears to be [[#On Warlords & Petty Feuds|experiencing another era of strife]]. Will your actions be meaningless and lost to time like [[#On Warlords & Petty Feuds|the countless petty warlords which came before you]], or will you earn your place in the history of [[Nave]]? ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
