The Timeline As kept by Ollamh Era of the Golden Dawn (EGD) - EGD 1-56 - The world is shaped by Saorsa and her children, given more potently enriched land and bountiful waters. They spend many years before the first year of Korian history perfecting their world, their new home, as they wanted it to be. The world they saw before them when they finished brought a smile of satisfaction to each face. With the world now perfect, they set out to really work on their specialities. Saorsa saw to the final last touches of the world, so that she would not have to maintain it for a long time. Morigana shaped the first humanoids, fashioned from the Stars themselves. They were called Starchildren, but called themselves Starkin. Moiratha, meanwhile, worked on the Draugans, the wildly diverse kingdom of different species of monsters. Caganos worked tirelessly all the while, putting leylines around the world, planning the channels of Magic and the way the Magic in the world worked and cooperated. The Starkin started out as three separate tribes of 2,500 people who together became one civilization. Each specializing in different areas including magic, farming, and hunting, they came together to make a single Capital City, Aurania, in the Continent they dubbed Cylicia. At the same time, Kilianos was on a Continent across the Taoman Ocean working on his own humanoids and his own works inspired by his jealousy of the other Gods. Working with a vast Desert and many minerals, he fashioned his humanoids into resilient, hardworking people that started with 5,000. With this number, they pulled together quickly and easily, working together to found Olkiranos in the continent they called Lokiria. The people prospered, learning to fish, communicate, entertain themselves, build, farm and mine. Kilianos beamed proudly as he looked over his creation, showing the other Gods after several years of development. As the years went on, the Gods began interacting with the people, influencing their lives and cultures. In this interaction, several new Gods and Goddesses are born and as they grow to Godhood, a divine council of the Gods is held. In this council, Saorsa declares that future interaction with the people of the world should be limited, and saved for times when necessary. So, they decide to keep to their humanoid forms when interacting with the people, so that no deceit is involved, and they agree to be honest about who they are. Now only really like celebrities of the world, they carry on living relaxed lives. They are still allowed to reward and punish mortals for favors or disgraces, but they would refrain from making more divine children with them for the time being. More illegitimate children, Saorsa decreed, would not be allowed Godhood. At the end of the council, the Gods create an altar in their Divine home set in the highest mountain, which acts as a medium through which they are allowed to take on human forms through. It acts as a permanent tether for the Gods to the world. The University of Magic Study is built in year 20 in Aurania, and Caganos oversees the research himself. He does not help, already aware of the many powers and uses of Magic, but he does make sure that it all stays safe and moral. The first people to learn from Caganos learn quickly and the best is filtered from them to be chosen as the current Head of the Research team. In the next year, the people hold a large meeting to discuss ruling of the land. It is decided by the Research team that it would be possible for everyone to vote on everything via a system run by the University. The people agree that this is best for the time being, and are instructed that if anyone has any ideas they would like voted on, they can be submitted to the University staff in the part of the building not dedicated strictly to Magic research. The Dustkin decide on a Monarchy, decided not just by Noble bloodline, but by Trial. They hold the first Trial in the EGD 20, and the first King is crowned. His name is Korin Orn-Ill, and he rules for three successive decades, beating every challenger in the Trials every ten years when they are held. By EGD 50, the researchers at the University have done much work in revealing the mechanics of the world, including gravity, concepts of time and the Calendar, and some basic Astronomy. Together, by vote of the people, it is decided that research should focus on travel at the moment, and in what seems like a short two years, researchers invent the first Airship. It is capable of air and water travel, and is shown to the public at a demonstration by the University in EGD 53 after some initial testing has been done. The people take a great interest in this technology, and mechanics are made out of the people showing interest, intuition, and ability. Over the next decade, this new technology fluorishes and is the key to the two continents connecting at last. In EGD 56, the two races finally make first contact when the Starkin's Airship lands outside Olkiranos and they introduce themselves. They share this technology with them as an act of good will and the Dustkin are very keen to it. There is no conflict between the different people and they mutually celebrate their meeting. A year later, the first Moonkin, a new race made by the breeding of a Starkin and a Dustkin, is born. Years 57-90 (WIP) -Year 57- -Year 58- -Year 64- The God's of Earth and Fire have a fight, and a volcano is the result, erupting and destroying a small village on the mountainside and reminding the people and the Gods alike that life is precious and not to be wasted over trivial things -Year 100- The first festival year. The Starchildren begin celebrating seasonal festivals to give offerings to the Gods and use it as a time for all the Nations to come together -Year 122- One hundred years of peace is celebrated -Year 143- Second natural disaster, the first hurricane (caused by a dispute between the God of water and air) does not kill anyone, but does great damage to Aurania's buildings -Year 150- The Moonkin gather into tribes and move to a smaller continent which they name Aritimanos The tribes decide that a council shall be made of representatives from each tribe and appoint members -Year 183- The Gods hold a council to discuss the matters of the world and their involvement in it, in which they all decide to stop constantly shape-changing for selfish reasons, and to keep one humananoid form aside from their true form for interaction with the people of Korian. This, and they must make others aware of their identity if they are not, so that there is no deceit in any interactions in the future. -Year 222- A celebration for two hundred years of peace within Korian dawns a new age in which the expanding civilizations dedicate a great portion of their efforts into developing new relations with Draugans and learning more about them. A University is built in Aurania which is dedicated to Draugan research and experts come from all over to teach and learn alike. Thus, the Era of Beasts (EB) begins. -Year 1- Moiratha herself takes on responsibility for the University and becomes the Overseer in her human form -Year 4- It is discovered that Draugans can adapt to different environments and gain new traits much like the Moonkin do -Year 11- Draugans are wholly classified via a system developed by a Starchild named Aella Rusana -Year 17- Draugan Breeding becomes a recognized profession and is now offered at the University of Draugan Research (UDR) -Year 33- More comprehensive exploration teams are prepared and sent to adventure into the unknown wilds of the world of Korian -Year 49- The first Tornado happens when an angry and disrespected wind God hears blasphemy about him in a small village. The Tornado wipes the village out entirely and a monument is built over it to memorialize the tragedy. -Year 67- In Aritimanos, the Moonkin establish the first Moonkin city and with the help of Caganos, establish a University of Magic for everyone in the same year -Year 83- It is discovered that Draugans are capable of evolution beyond simple adaptation, and can take on higher forms through experiencing certain stimulus or challenges or by having interaction with other Draugans or elements, including Magic -Year 92- A Moonkin named Oranos Zenoten develops a new style of Magic specifically for interaction with Draugans, from communication with them, to augmenting their abilities or other characteristics, and even to help in taming and training them for other tasks and competitions -Year 100- Three hundred years of peace is celebrated in Aurania -Year 123- The overall people of Korian are now at a of 100,000 and there is a celebration among the nations. -Year 154- Global communication is theorized and put into practice by Mages from the University of Magic (UM) who were commissioned by Auranian representatives to assist in communication between nations without travel. A method involving mirrors is the first trial, and mirror-enchanting becomes common practice. Personal Communication Mirrors (PCM or Comm) quickly become commonplace among the masses and people are now much closer even at a great distance. -Year 182- New magics and new Gods come into play, changing the world once again, especially when it is learned that this new type of magic effects most Draugans in very strange ways -Year 200- Four hundred years of Peace and Prosperity are celebrated, and plans are being talked about to set up for the Greatest Festivity imaginable for the next centenial celebration ------TBC------ Edited by Saint, 03/04/2015 - 05:14 pm.
