Lornius Timeline

All regions share a common ancestry, so it might be prudent to read the Timeline of Ancient History first.

Key:
BT = Before Time
CP = Current Time

Colonization - CP 800 to 1250

CP 800 to CP 1000 - Dwarfs colonize the main island later known as Lornius. They build advanced infrastructure, then disappear.

CP 1241 - Traders, aware of the island for hundreds of years, first map a safe passage through the archipelago. They settle on the main island and name it Lornius.


Birth of Conflict - CP 1299 to CP 1432

CP 1299 - Near the end of its expansion, Corone sends an army and claims Lornius as a colony of their own. The island is named Lornius

CP 1303 - Terrinore prison is created as a place to hide dissenters of the original invasion

CP 1432 - After nearly 150 of Corone control, Raiaera "invades" Lornius. To avoid all out warfare, the Raiaeran's consider the push simply an expansion of trade with Corone


Age of Strife - CP 1432 to 1783

CP 1432 to 1782 - For nearly 300 years, Raiaera and Corone conduct a shadow war in Lornius, absolutely devastating the local population and natural resources

CP 1782 - Local fisherman, Veryn Reswob, speaks out against invasion in support of independent sovereignty for Lornius. He gathers a militia and storms Lyridia, the capital at the time

CP 1783 - Following the bloody rebellion, Corone forces withdrawal and name Lornius as an independent nation; xenophobia takes root amongst the natives


Rebirth and Destruction - CP 1785 to Present

CP 1792 - Veryn Reswob leases out Terrinore to other nations to use as a political prison in a last ditch attempt for additional funding

CP 1807 - Raiaera and Corone attempt to retake Lornius; Veryn Reswob is killed in the invasion

CP 1808 - Max Dirks arrives in Lornius and with another ragtag army, chases the last remnants of Raiaera and Corone from the island; Dirks was made the leader

CP 1808 to CP 1813 - Under his rule, tyranny reigned supreme as Max Dirks killed those he deemed unworthy and constantly diverted government funds for his own schemes

CP 1813 - Max Dirks is was ousted in a violent coup and the democratically elected Lornius High Council was installed in his stead; Lornius closed its borders to all outsiders

CP 1815 - In a last ditch attempt to save their country, the Lornius High Council decided to encourage traders, adventurers and others to seek out the island; the borders are now open, but the natives still view the others with caution, if not outright disdain.

Present Day: CP 1815
