The Age of Awakening was also the time when the first nexus was discovered. The dragons were encountered for the first time, the first vampires and plague bearers appeared, and the War of the Risen resulted in the death of thousands of people from multiple races. It was a time of discovery, a time of exploration, but also a time where the races discovered some of the dangers that lurked in darker corners of their new world.
Time | Races/People Involved | Description |
? | The first Memory Flame flickers into existence, and the ku’rasi who emerge from it create their first city - Mylashar First undead spontaneously created by random energy, spotted by a ku’rasi | |
1983 BU | High elves | The first high elven city is established - Illirium |
1862 BU 1827 BU | Kriegen High elves | The first kriegen fortress is created – Red Wall First mokoi created, cause is unknown |
1790 BU | Ïoden | The ïoden Bastion is established |
1656 BU | Ïoden and high elves | First interracial contact occurs between the ïoden and the high elven people, and a trade route is established |
1588 BU | High Elves, ku’rasi, Ïoden | The high elves find Mylashar, but almost immediately mistrust the ku’rasi when they refuse to let them in the center of the city (where the memory flame is kept). Some of the ku’rasi people travel back with the high elves and encounter the ïoden race for the first time. |
1474 - 1446 BU 1448 BU | High elves, ku’rasi Ïoden , high elves, kriegen | A forest fire hits a nexus, making it turn into an incredibly large fire elemental that destroys Valandrea - one of major high elven cities; Unable to explain the incident, the high elves blame the ku’rasi. The high elves manage to infiltrate Mylashar and steal a part of the first memory flame. They take it back to their capital city, but they are unable to properly care for the flame on the journey home and it goes out before they reach their destination. Outraged, ku’rasi go to war with the high elves. The ïoden discover the nexus that led to the creation of the fire elemental, learn what happened through careful study of the nexus. They talk the high elves into to calling off the war. The high elves make reparations by sharing the knowledge of nexus and establishing closed borders of ku’rasi nation |
1320 BU 1320 BU | Ïoden, kriegen Kriegen, dragons | The ïoden come across the kriegen in their travels and try to open relations with them, not realizing that the kriegen had already “assimilated” three other races into their own before the meeting. The kriegen try to take over the ïoden race and add them to the horde. They manage to take the Bastion, and ïoden call on the high elves for help. Together, the two races manage to reclaim the city Kriegen come across the dragons during the war, and they try to capture them as beasts of war. An entire battalion gets destroyed, but they manage to kill one dragon. |
1260 BU 1244 BU 1235 - 1231 BU | High elves Plague bearers, ïoden High elves | The vampire plague begins to spread amongst the kriegen, who reach out to the other races for help after they fail to contain it. They are denied help, and the plague spreads. The kriegen suffer major losses, and to this day there are large clans of vampiric kriegen wandering through the wilderness. The first plague bearer is reported on the southernmost point of the ïoden territory. A large part of their southern territory is ravaged by plague, becoming what is known today as the Plague Lands – an area that is dominated by a hideous being that refers to itself alternatively as a plague lord and as the Infestor. A group of high elven scholars who were investigating the first nexus manage to discover necromancy and turn themselves into liches. They flee into the wilderness. |
1189 BU 1176 – 1170 BU 1170 BU | Liches Kriegen, ïoden, high elves , necropolis Kriegen, ïoden, high elves | The first necropolis is established by the liches, supplied by the dead of the past wars and a dracolich. Many vampires also join the necropolis. The War of the Risen takes place as Rhaelion, the lich who came forth as the leader of the necropolis, made undead and undying flood forth from the necropolis, terrorizing the borders of the high elven and kriegen territories. All of the races (with the exception of the ku’rasi) join together to fight against the army of the dead. They manage to destroy the necropolis, but Rhaelion and several of the other liches manage to escape. The other races form an uneasy alliance with the kriegen after the War of the Risen, kriegen still not allowed in ïoden territory but they are officially given their own land |
