Vennesholm is founded by the explorer Claus Rasmussen.
Claus was an individualist who came south from his home kingdom to found a town based on his ideals. His son greatly expanded this town, forming it into the city-state it is today. -
A new species of humanoid, dubbed the orcs, emerges from the swamps of Maolnah. War-like and generally vicious, they divided themselves into families and mostly hunted for food in small semi-permanent settlements.
-
A group of elven settlers travel from the Elenal Forest over the Kurshen Mountains and settle the eventual city-state of Estax, in a lightly forested area in the southern Rusmorian Plains.
-
The orcs organize into a theocracy worshipping Diodros, beginning to spread their influence southward and into the Straits of Altis.
-
The various groups of nomadic humans in southern Ubul, mostly the Isthern Desert, form the city-state of Eshar due to security anxieties concerning the increasing threat of the orcs spreading along the west coast of the Dioan Lakes.
-
Osmarian crusaders are sent southward towards Eshar, though the harsh climate of the desert, which the Osmarian forces were not prepared for, greatly disadvantaged them, and Eshar, who had been significantly increasing its defenses since its founding, easily held them off.
-
The Straits of Altis began to become a highly desirable trading route, and many trading settlements began to accumulate among the coast.
-
A group of elven aristocrats from the Rusmorian Plains found Ceshania, choosing Justinius Pharantzes I as their first lord.
-
The northern city-state of Lacriaya was founded by the elves who lived there and have eventually settled in the area following the development of (limited due to the climate) agriculture in the area.
-
Shortly following Lacriaya's appointment of Florentinus Botaniates as lord, Lacriaya was annexed into Ceshania.
Ceshania dubbed itself as the capital of the new Rusmorian Empire. -
Osmaria directed its focus to the region across the Straits of Altis. Vennesholm, out of the way of the crusade, was unaffected, but the cernine and scattered human residents of the Elenal Forest were devastated by the forces. While originally a strong push to the east, the Kurshen Mountains posed an impassible barrier and the crusaders were forced to retreat back to Osmaria after supplies dwindled.
-
One settlement along the Straits of Altis in particular, Dastos, rose to great wealth due to extremely successful investments and its size fueled its reputation and subsequent traffic.
-
Following unsuccessful negotiations to annex Estax into the empire and the discovery of a plot to stage a coup in the city-state, Rusmor attempted to take Estax by force.
-
Rusmor succeeded in its campaign, and succesfully absorbed Estax, thus seizing control of the entire region of Iacomera east of the Kurshen Mountains.
-
The Rusmorian Empire set its sights further east to the relatively uninhabited Jaucrodrith, and formed a colony along the Sound of Tume, naming it Tumestein.
-
The new Tumestein colony clashed with Eshar settlers, who had begun to spread to the Malen desert and were eventually forced out due to the might of Rusmor's navy backing Tumestein.
-
The third Osmarian crusade was meant to attempt the Kurshen Mountains with more preparation, though the emergence of Dastos between the second and third crusades was unexpected and the orcs sacked Dastos, thinking it was Ceshania.
-
The Rusmorian Empire, with its strong military, skilled diplomats, and booming economy, rises up as the leader of the region and begins to turn its sights to western Iacomera.
-
The tarago of the Fleumos Archipelago lived in small villages in the mountainous islands, though Fleo Crana grew to a size large enough to consider it a city-state.
-
The fourth Osmarian crusade is ongoing and has lasted more than a century. Rusmorian forces held off Osmarian forces in the Kurshen mountains until Ceshania fell, and are now slowly dwindling.
-
Ceshania, for unknown reasons, broke apart from Iacomera and slid into the ocean.
