Timeline

== Overview ==
This is the basic Timeline of events which have occurred throughout the history of Soly.
== Founding Era ==
Year 	Event
0 	Soly is born, as well as the first Soilworks. There were no mountains at the beginning of time, only flatland and ocean. The flatlands regularly flooded all the way to their centers, until about 2000 years into the Era.
~200 	A minor extinction event occurs, removing many of the original Soilworks born with the world.
~500 	The start of the Gryusch Tunnels begins to form via the networks created by Gryusch Wyrms.
-900 	The first organized society of Colapsoe begins to form.
-1000	The first Colapsoe encounters with the Dreyguns.
-1200	The Dourland becomes inhabited by organized society for the first time.
-1550	The Ovyuum becomes infested with an unknown Soilwork, responsible for the material which coated it for the rest of recorded history.
-2000	The Soilworks of The Ovyuum are either eradicated or died off naturally, leaving the area a toxic purple wasteland.
The Mountains of the world begin to rise and shift, causing many earthquakes and lakes to form.
~2050	Another minor extinction event occurs, likely in conjunction with rising mountains, fissures in the earth, and trapped oceanwater inland.
The Trueflats emerge as the one area completely untouched by the shifting of rising landmasses, remaining fixed to Soly's original state.
== Colapsoe Era ==
Year 	Event
1 	The Colapsoe establish their first city next to the lake formed in The Dourland, which would become the establishment of all civilization in the Plane. The city's name is lost to history, but The Lorekeeper believes the term "Giagula" is used in reference many times.
30 	A splinter faction of Colapsoe decide to move away from Giagula, and into the warmer, dryer areas which began to form after the shifting of the mountains, to the West.
36 	The first leader of Giagula is declared in the face of Dreygun opposition.
~80 	The First Soaring likely occurred around this time.
~150 	The first Emrites begin to emerge from their mountains, many of whom were lowborn.
180 	The majority of the chaotic shifting earth is settled, and mountains now tower over Soly, separating the ocean from the land.
230 	A very intelligent Dreygun disguises itself in the splinter faction of Colapsoe, using something similar to Pulse in order to blend itself in properly. This was long before Pulse had been introduced to Soly.
237 	The Dreygun gains the trust and respect of all Colapsoe in the faction, and reaches a high position in whatever system of hierarchy they used. In this position, the Dreygun senses the tremendous threat of Emrites, and prepares probable cause to attack them.
241 	Massive, dangerous birdlike creatures who were never named appear for the first time. These creatures preyed on different Soilworks, forcing many into extinction. They began to swarm close to Giagula very quickly after first sighting.
242 	The first skirmishes between the Colapsoe and the Emrites begin, likely fueled by the deceiver Dreygun.
251 	The massive birds around Giagula are fended off. They are seen migrating to the North, but are never known to have been seen again.
252 	The adopted daughter of the deceiver Dreygun holds the same influence as her father, and seeks to build support more broadly, seeking villages, other tribes, and wandering Colapsoe to join her in building the Colapsoe empire. She is mostly rejected, as the broader Colapsoe population were not interested in anything so grandiose.
255 	The deceiver Dreygun and his daughter infiltrate Giagula and sew discord among its residents, seeking to destroy it from within and leave the populace aimless and scared.
256 	
259 	Giagula's leadership abandons the city. Most of its residents choose to head west, where the sands are warmer and many other Colapsoe have already settled. Due to the Deceiver's earlier work, these Colapsoe were already more extremist and nationalist by nature, which in-turn influenced the newcomers.
270 	The first known reference to the Pilfering Depths is made by a Colapsoe scholar, who scaled a tall mountain which broke the threshold.
288 	The first known reference to the Endail Plains.
318 	A popular Emrite Scholar witnesses his brother approach the Deceiver Dreygun to engage in peace talks with the Colapsoe. Instead of any discussion taking place, the Emrite's body was instantly collapsed in on itself, not leaving even a speck of blood behind. The Scholar ran away, and spread this news to the Emrite populace.
~320 	The Emrites formally declare war on the Colapsoe.
330 	The first large-scale invasion of Giagula begins, which is won within the week. Most of Giagula's remaining Colapsoe residents surrendered instantly, while those with the heart to fight were unable to kill even a single Emrite.
338 	Giagula is declared an Emrite city, and renamed to Baukym. It is mostly used as a fort to press into the western Colapsoe lands.
344 	The last known actions of the deceiver Dreygun. Likely killed by his daughter when she uncovered his true identity.
1430 	The Faeries and Goahm are first seen in Soly, already at odds and engaged in their eternal war.
~1500	Damfruul emerges from his mountain.
~1525	Broag emerges from his mountain.
1550 	Unknown Emrite scholars make a journey to the deserts inhabited by the Colapsoe, and find only ruins half-sunk into the sands.
1599 	
* The last confirmed sighting of the deceiver Dreygun's daughter, which also happened to be the last confirmed sighting of any Colapsoe in Soly. Some were speculated to still roam in the eastern sands, but no sightings were ever reported again.
* Hkoaga is born from the largest mountain in Soly at that time, now known only as "Hkoaga's Fall".
1600 	An expedition out east from Baukym to search for any Colapsoe begins.
1602 	The Baukym expedition returns to report no sightings of any Colapsoe, and strangely very few remains of their structures or possessions. Thus, the Hierarchical structure of Emrite society declares the age of Colapsoe over, and the age of Emrites begin.
== Emrite Era ==
Year 	Event
~0 	The sky is reported to have burned red for seven days and nights around the start of the Emrite Era. Most surviving records of this event are jubilant in nature, indicating no real influence beyond the sky's color. As there was no proper explanation for such an event however, The Lorekeeper concluded this must have been the influence of The Second Soaring. What effects there may have been beyond the colored sky are currently unknown.
~120 	The Lorekeeper emerges from the massive Mt. Zymik. It is speculated that this was the final Emrite to emerge from their mountain.
~130 	The Soaring of Broag.
133 	Hokaga wins lordship over a small settlement in the eastern Dourlands in a game of Dreygunsleir.
~135 	A majority of the more massive Soilworks inhabiting Soly are all but extinct by this point, very likely in part to Broag's influence.
322 	The Lorekeeper learns of the Pilfering Depths, and immediately subjects themselves to it, taking two steps into it and losing the vital connection to Mt. Zymik.
544 	222 years of attempts to reconnect with Mt. Zymik proved futile, and The Lorekeeper finally quit attempting to. Instead, the caverns and tunnels dug into Mt. Zymik became the foundation for The Library, which was informally founded at this time.
~1650	The Eternal Soaring of Creation first speaks the word "creation", which is heard across the entirety of Soly, before going silent for five years.
-1655	A giant. gleaming hand breaks free from the clouds to gently touch the soil of Soly below. The first of The Eternal Soaring's creations are born at its location. This would be the first of many instances of creation, taking place every five years from this point onwards.
~1700	The first few mountains call back the Emrites who emerged from them, thus starting the very slow but steady decline in the overall Emrite population.
1717 	The Eternal's Faithful officially organize themselves into a tangible worshiping arm of Emrata.
1925 	The Nuuomokaw are born via The Eternal Soaring's hand touching the isolated Lake Tasket.
~2775	The enigmatic "Miith" are birthed in Soly by The Eternal's hand, terrorizing the land in ways the Emrite never experienced before. Unable to quell the sudden arrival of these creatures,
-2800	Pulsekaw are first seen in Soly.
~2802	Damfruul resists the call of his mountain long enough to arrange a meeting with a Pulsekaw envoy. He is fatally ambushed, but manages to ink his experience with the initial Pulsekaw to reach Soly. This book was buried within the rubble of his Mountain as is collapsed upon his death.
2817 	The Miith are quietly removed from Soly and subsequently erased from public history. Only The Eternal's Faithful keep sacred texts documenting the Miith and their terror.
3017 	The Emrite/Pulsekaw war is officially declared.
3099 	The first successful usage of the ancient Pulsekaw text, fooling an Emrite force into wandering into an ambush.
3120 	Jiarum is officially founded as a presentsight stronghold in the Northern Gryusch Wilds.
3195 	Kepliku is born.
3399 	Shaulsse is born.
3458 	The Lorekeeper's health suddenly declines, beginning the desperate search to maintain life in the plane.
3460 	The Lorekeeper is saved in a rash decision made by Kepliku in The Library, allowing The Lorekeeper to use his Pulse to stay alive. This left Shaulsse as The Lorekeeper's first vessel upon losing their original body.
3489 	Shortly after recovery, The Lorekeeper begins thorough examination of the strange Pilfering Depths, calling for daring volunteers and interested parties.
~4000	Lake Tasket, the location where The Eternal Soaring birthed the Nuuomokaw, dries out.
-4002	
* The Nuuomokaw begin their migration to the open sea.
* The Fifth Soaring likely occurred around this time.
-4008	A large fire is set around the area of Lake Tasket, alerting the greater Emrite and Pulsekaw populace of the ruins left behind.
4270 	The Emrite/Pulsekaw war's intensity increases tenfold, as many cities are razed on both sides in this year.
4390 	The Healer of Pise is born.
4403 	The first known case of The Healer of Pise returning a deathly-sick friend of his back to his original health.
4495 	Taylu is born.
4502 	The very first Groann is born into Soly, which goes undetected for some time.
4503 	The first Groann attacks and absorbs an entire Pulsekaw farming village, turning it into something of a stronghold.
4505 	The first Groann is killed by Taylu's mother, using her Pulse to siphon Taylu's blood by force, and use it as a weapon. Taylu never mentally or emotionally recovered from this event, despite the immediate status her mother's actions garnered them.
4530 	"The Great Bluff", The Sixth Soaring, occurs.
4532 	Taylu, the Seventh Soaring, occurs, muting every Emrite with hatred in their heart for Pulsekaw.
4534 	Communicating becomes difficult for most Emrite forces, and the ancient Pulsekaw language is used much more efficiently to fool and confuse them into weaker positions around Soly.
4560 	The Healer of Pise vanishes without a trace.
4580 	The Emrites take a final stand at Baukym, which ends with most scattering into obscurity.
4585 	The Pulsekaw unofficially start their own Era, declaring victory in Pulsekaw/Emrite war. The era doesn't officially end until the very last Emrite leaves the Plane however. Hkoaga's small contingent of whatever remaining Emrites hadn't been killed or called back to their mountains extends the era by a few hundred years.
4778 	The first record of Catalya's discovery.
~4800	By this point nearly every Emrite has been called back to their mountain, reducing the overall population to less than a hundred.
4805 	The Emrite Era officially ends with the execution of Hkoaga and subsequent cataclysm of his mountain in Colinayr.
== Pulsekaw Era ==
Year 	Event
5 	A new Pulsekaw language begins to trend, becoming more popular by the year.
~30 	The Jaanpai Organization first comes together, with their first order of business being seizing of the "Ghuem" Pulse.
301 	Goakme is officially founded.
325 	A Nuuomokaw boy washes ashore west of The Library. Though barely alive, he is taken to The Librarians where they take him in, and attempt to save his life. If their efforts were successful, they kept all details about the boy quite confined to the vaults, so it is presumed that he died a short time later.
~400 	The Eternal Soaring of Creation touches down once more, birthing the Humans into Soly near to what is currently called The Dourland.
555 	Human explorers settle in a place by the sea, which would eventually become the city of Curmimes.
600 	Pise is named the official capital of Pulsekaw society.
919 	The Observer is born.
930 	The Eighth Soaring occurs by a Human, which was directly catalogued by the Jaanpai Organization. This unforeseen Soaring prompted the swift and firm retaliation by the paranoid Pulsekaw who quickly learned of it at the highest and most public levels.
935 	The Singularity bestows The Observer with its gift, eternally linking them together.
938 	As the Pulsekaw began to realize the Human Soaring wasn't influencing anything in any significant way, the open hostilities towards the two races cooled over time.
~1000	By this point, the ancient Pulsekaw texts have not been needed for some time, and their new language is overwhelmingly spoken. It doesn't take long for the ancient texts to be completely forgotten by all living Pulsekaw.
1140 	The Soaring of The Observer occurs around this time.
1497 	Easkym is born.
1520 	Widerain is established in the Gryusch Wilds. Its first King decided by an open-challenge dueling tournament.
1605 	An upper-class noble is banished from the upstart Widerain. Moving east of the nearby river, he elects to erect his own estate tucked away in the mountains. This would eventually be known as Haethe.
~1820	Easkym is committed to the Widerain royal's Torch Field, likely by choice.
~2000	Gangs of Thieves first join their families together in a joint hideout, which would later be known as Dawminh.
2109 	Grajita is officially founded, its walls' foundation already in place by this point.
2346 	Ginny is born.
2349 	Daese is born.
2367 	The Lorekeeper accepts Daese's proposal to become the next host body.
2392 	Ginny dies by The Lorekeeper's side, still dedicated to Daese even long after the bodyswap.
2777 	Couquio is born.
2890 	
* Couquio's first highborn child, Zaaiz, is born.
* The lowborn Humans of Gryusch band together and migrate far to the east, founding the township of Visk.
2901 	According to The Lorekeeper's obsessive notes, they were in Visk at this time.
2902 	The Jaanpai Organization believed that a Human living in Grajita had achieved the Soaring, prompting a small skirmish to occur outside of the city walls. However, the suspected Human took part in the battle, and a truce was called. The Pulsekaw constructed a building of their own design within the city as recompense for the lives lost in their misunderstanding. This building would later become the Grajita Combine.
2905 	The Eternal Soaring touches The Ovyuum for the first, and only time to date, birthing the small creatures called Raubt.
3088 	
* The discovery of a near-endless supply of Scarce Metal is made by Couquio.
* Coshmigan writes "Tangible Woe".
3095 	Racciu Rhua publishes "Almighty Soaring".
3103 	Mershaw is born.
3160 	The importance and usefulness of Scarce Metal had touched most aspects of general Pulsekaw life by this point, but the overall consensus was that there was simply too much to make use of, and the overgathering of the metal was becoming a liability. Communication lines are opened to all Deid who might have ideas on how to not only make use of the metal, but do so in a prosperous way which would advance Pulsekaw society.
3172 	A more crazed Deid is gifted an immense amount of Scarce Metal, after claiming he could fuse it with other Pulsekaw, essentially replacing parts of their body with it. He takes the metal to the isolated Katharh Island where he begins construction of a facility to begin these experiments, with the blessing of the mainland's other Deid.
3180 	The more destitute lowborn Pulsekaw are gathered in large quantities and transferred to Katharh Island for experimentation. Some select Highborn are chosen as well for various reasons.
3190 	
* The Deid's Pits is constructed.
* Uocali is born.
3196 	Feyule is born.
3203 	Ishargis is born.
3207 	
* Akkaz is born.
* Plans are made to start using the experiments on Katharh Island to forge an army. The subjects who survive the the experiments and are seen as useful are given horribly abusive combat training, in hopes to eventually amass an incredibly durable and capable force of lowborn Pulsekaw.
3216 	Ishargis is sent to Katharh Island.
3217 	Ishargis' arm is successfully replaced with a large Scarce Metal oven.
3219 	Akkaz breaks free from The Deid's Pits, killing every Pulsekaw within it besides Uocali.
3220 	The Soaring of Akkaz immediately ends the Pulsekaw Era, as every highborn Pulsekaw is pulled and trapped inside a Mint Garden, while the remaining lowborn have their entire beings slowly erased from the plane by the sheer pull of Akkaz's will.
== Human Era ==
Year	Event
1 	Realizing that the plane's superiors were all suddenly gone, the king of Curmimes sends out a summons to the deep sea-dwelling Nuuomokaw. Many ledgers requesting a meeting between the races are dropped into the sea.
2 	
5 	The Nuuomokaw ambassador arrives in Curmimes to meet with the Humans. The meeting is brief and filled with little fanfare, as the Nuuomokaw had no interest in warring for the title of plane superior, despite likely having superior force to the Humans. The previous five years are retroactively considered part of the Human Era due to this concession, and there is widespread celebration.
8 	The first wave of death inflicted by the Curse of Names on children who regularly used the names given to them by their parents. This prompts The Lorekeeper to investigate deeply.
18 	The first Truename Vigilance is held in accordance to new laws, allowing children to state the name given to them by Akkaz so that the Curse of Names can be held back.
120 	The Eternal Soaring of Creation touches the Gryusch Wilds northeast of Widerain, birthing the first generation of wild, cannibalistic Foreckaw.
439 	Construction of the Lyceum of Jestery begins in Goakme.
450 	The construction of the Lyceum of Jestery completes in Goakme. The town soon loses its original name and is known colloquially as Prettywoe.
656 	As the Mint Gardens and their benefits became more widely-known, leaders began enlisting their own forces to search for them, seize them, and selfishly "claim" them as their own. This would be the unofficial star to the Soil War.
777 	The largest open battles of the Soil War occur, reaching its peak in this year.
1240	The Eternal Soaring touches the Magenti River, bringing life to the Formea Wyrms, and subsequently starting the cataclysmic Formea Wyrm Crisis.
2001	The Eternal's hand touches the raging Bzoad Gulf, where the Dwonikaw are born, with only a few dozen survivors.
2111	First known sighting of a Brrshem.
2203	Gujum is born.
2205	Getya is born.
2222	Getya, Gujum, and others embark on a secret expedition into the Calamity Tree at the center of Gunhalmeir. They cross into the Pilfering Depths.
2225	
* Idea is born,
* Stare is born.
2227	
* Giida is born.
* The eldest of the Nameless Three is born.
2230	
* Gohst is born.
* The current King of Widerain is crowned
2236	The Eternal Soaring touches the site where Damfruul's mountain once stood, birthing a Creation that did not persist in Soly for very long.
2237	Stare wanders through the disturbed ground where The Eternal Soaring touched in the previous year. Here he discovered the final book penned by Damfruul detailing his meeting with the first Pulsekaw in the plane. This catches the eye of The Singularity, who begins its maddening whispers to the boy.
2238	Orchard is born.
2139	The Minthunt Combine officially moves into Grajita to expand their operations into the Gryusch Wilds.
2240	Wisest is born.
2247	
* Gohst discovers a trove of books kept hidden beneath a major building within Jiarum. He later leads an expedition of Highborn Foreckaw to the ruins in an effort to excavate the books.
* Stare, Orchard, and Degrade are sent to Catalya under the effects of Easkym to scout the deeper accessible levels. Every Watchmen sent along with them are killed horrifically. Stare's morbid laughter dampens Easkym enough to collect the first Mous, save Orchard, and escape to Sawlyu.
2250	The Lorekeeper uses Kepliku on Orchard.
2251	Wisest leads a zealous contingent of Foreckaw out of Gunhalmeir and into the Gryusch Wilds.
