Chronology of Rhutalath

==A Brief History==
The land which now makes up Rhutalath was originally occupied by the Ursani Morrim, and by the Wendari Elves in the East. Following the arrival of the Angolian Parzifans, the Morrim were displaced from their lands. After centuries of vicious war, with the support of their Wendari and Argani allies, the Ursani were expelled and occupied only the furthest reaches of the country.
The country, at first, was part of the large glorious kingdom of Arandor. Although ruled by its own regent, Ronador (as the district became known) held allegiance to one monarch, who ruled from Pandarat. As a result, the land of Ronador was subject to the laws and treaties of the super-nation. For a while, the situation was ideal- As Arandor joined the Iaurdor alliance, Ronador benefited greatly. The chief members of the alliance, theEdhelnore Elves, were Ronador's nearest neighbours, and the trade and mutual friendship was highly valued by the Ronadorans.
This changed with the founding of the Atlantean colonies. As Atlantea grew in power, it began to look overseas for new territory. The king of Arandor, Mozan, enamoured with the Empress, decided to unite his kingdom with the Atlantean Empire. Although the Iaurdor Alliance was against this, Mozan did as he chose, and within a year Arandor was an official part of the Atleantean Empire. The Alliance, unwilling to be subject to foreign rule, dissolved the treaty, and Ronador, not wanting to lose their friendship with the Elves, followed suit. Ronador left both Arandor and the Atleantean Empire and became Rhutalath, an independent country.
The friendship with the Elven races was not to last forever, however. Following the arrival of the messiahKalnus, the Rhutalathians turned against the Elves, and began to both persecute and exectute them. Although long-time allies, the other nations, appalled by the Rhutalthian behaviour, slowly began to turn their backs on the Kingdom of Faith. Eventually, Angabor, the Lord-Inquisitor, grew weary of the King's attempts at appeasement, and seized power. Killing the king and the majority of his family, Angabor ruled in his stead. Rhutalath became a theocracy. However, the king's regent escaped with the two-year old heir to the throne, and hid him safe from harm. Now, the heirs of the Royal Family wait patiently, one day hoping to return and reclaim the throne.
NB: Following the rule of Angabor, the Rhutalathians started measuring their dates again, in the Ano Khanuso era. Thus the year 927 is 1AK. The current year (1476) is 549AK
