World History

# H i s t o r y o f t h e W o r l d

The **History of the world** concerns the history of *Azurestahl in the Ebb* and the history of humanity, it’s narrative past as understood by scientific studies and disciplines. Human history written history was preceded by prehistory, through the beginning of the Paleoninic Era (Old Humanic Era). Which saw the establishment of permanent settlements in favour of nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyles. This led to the development of early complex societies that appeared throughout the world. This then led to the formation of cities, which provided the basis for civilisation that became impetus to written history. Religions such as Paganism, Gurwitism, Míntheism and Astrononism would be developed and introduced along the Absithnian continent during the Instrumental Age (6600—5000 BBY). While independent human settlers would migrate to the Corudonics in the Wall Age (5600—4400 BBY).

With civilisations forming. Ancient history saw the rise and fall of empires, and the discovery of lodestone followed the Age of Exploration (2019—1948 BBY). Classical history had the rise of Iraedist, Patronaric, and Amharic religions, the Gunpowder Golden Age, two Renaissances (around 1800s BBY) and the invention of typing machines. The typing machine, in conjunction with the emergence of biomechanic science facilitated widespread transformation of societal views on science and revolutionised medical and the information industry.

Gunpowder technology became prolific in Absithian nations by the 1st millenium BBY, and history later on would divulge into different historical timelines. Where general historical periodisation may not apply effectively. The traditional starting date for modern canonical Azurestahl in the Ebb timeline is with the Miracle of Bogorione in 8 Demirus 632 (CE). Which started the period of the end—Hominidae extinction event, and is one of the most significant events in history. Affecting all life on Gi Earth.

## Miracle of Bogorione Crux (8 Demirus 632 CE)

### Significance

Significant surge in eschatological events and loss of human life.

Common Era

*Main Article: Miracle of Bogorione*
The **Miracle of Bogorione**, also known as **The Death of Yashuman** was the detonation of in the city of Bogorione Crux, Coruna. The explosion killed between 185,500 to 220,000 people, and became the deadliest disaster in human history, the blast was the largest non-nuclear explosion in history, approximately 25 megatons (104,600 TJ). A period of 672 hours (4 weeks) economic crisis followed, and global trade in Coruna were suspended in response to emerging paranoia in Prásinodonia that the cause may have involved the cargo ships. The event included general unrest around the world, and inspired canonical investigations by theistic communities to review their compatibility to their respective religions.

## End of the Helmand Revolution (17 Prochery–Fin 8 — 18 Arbery 11 mdy)

*Main Article: Helmand Revolution*

The Haldemani People's Freedom Movement (HPFM), and the rest of the Helmand Rebel Alliance (HRA) with the support of the southeastern peasantry forced a mass retreat of the national army across The Bulge on 17 Prochery—Fin, 8 (mdy). The reduction in territory controlled by the colibel and capture of the Forkbardlih Waterway—the only hydroelectric dam in The Bulge river—pressed the national army into the defensive. And the Rebel Alliance used the disarray to their advantage by pushing deeper towards Metro Easimstad, despite encountering resistance in Laghmestad Crux, Fowlmesund Crux and Horton. The successful, well-executed strategies and access to siege engines the HRA had allowed them to press the revolution on their side. By Guerdony, the HRA controlled 70% of Helmand.

The Kopersund Crux Partisans leader, Arvik Daschoud pledged allegiance to the Rebel Alliance which became critical to solidifying rebel power in the country. The HRA's size peaked by 9 mdy, reporting a force size of 400,000 (however analysts suggest the true number lies approximately 200,000~340,000). After longstanding battles, culminating at the Siege on Vilarstad Crux starting 22 Deuterony until Freundary of the following year.

The HRA was defeated at the Siege on Easimstad Crux (9—10 mdy), ending with the rout of the entire Kopersund Crux Partisan and the destruction of several smaller rebel armies and peasant militias. The balance of power in the revolution eventually fell to a stalemate and an unofficially, undeclared ceasefire was made between 32 Obscuary and 5 Mournantry. This improved the morale of the Helmand National Army, but the popularity of the revolution had grown significantly and inspired local civil movements to form in the capital region. The growing popularity of the HRA had caused anxiety within the government. And a peace agreement was considered between HRA leaders and the Helmand Colibel.

A peace agreement was implemented on 31 Clause, 10 (mdy) after the Compromise Conference Upon Civil Conflicts which proposed multiple peace agreements with the  Haldemani People's Freedom Movement, that saw the peace agreement proposals as "A blanket statement insult to what we have fought for...", rebel leader Wrongar Chaunhßannek wrote. An agreement was signed on 9 Arbery 11 (mdy) when the final proposal outlined to partition Helmand among the specifications of HRA leaders and an organic law to allow better autonomy of each territory. Effectively ending the Helmand Revolution once the peace agreement was made effective on 18 Arbery 11 (mdy).

## Better than Nothing (

Following failures to prevent and successfully provide effective treatment for necrosy patients since the first epidemics have emerged in \_ (mdy). Researchers have set out to find new and better treatments for the disease. Between

There had been much analysis from the event most notably from pagan, Iraedist, Patronaric, Samu’ahwebi, Amharic and the Orange Catholic faiths. Of which the event became a major topic of discussion. Whilst independent critical sociological and scientific investigations became a response knowledge using established knowledge as to explain the behaviour and cause of the event. The most popular theory of which was that the explosion was generally attributed to a metallic asteroid 100—120 m (328—394 ft) in size. But according to astrophysicist and priestess Parisia K. McClaire, criticised the theory and present a number of difficulties in proving it’s legitimacy. She claims that “…there is no recovered evidence or meteorite samples that suggest this was a meteor [impact] event.” McClaire also observes that there were no records of any asteroid prior to the miracle that had the behaviour nor the size and composition that would likely fit the theory’s specifications. “…if we knew it was an asteroid we would have a considerable amount of witnesses and tracking systems to predict it long before any of this.” Which further supported the theologian narrative, however the scientific community still rules out the plausibility of a practical answer.

Further investigations included the discovery of a partially water spirit tube from the Bogorione Crux Mail and Small Transport Office (Corunese: Ufficio Posta e Piccoli Trasporti, U-Post for short.) which contained the only known written record of the time prior to the event. The snail tape from the Central Bogorione Polyclinic (hospital) narrates the record of the birth of **Yashuman**, which took place at 8:14 — 10:03 am. The mother, Amina was declared braindead upon giving birth after being in cardiac arrest. The child died due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) during labour. The final message of the tape reads: **”Yashuman is Dead.”**

## First Holocaust (15 Demirus 0 mdy)

**Super Typhoon Atticus**, or known as **Holocaust Atticus** was the first and most powerful eschatological events (EE) ever recorded. On 15 Demirus 0 mdy (632 CE, as Common Era was still used), the Saipan National Meteorological Society (SMS) begun monitoring a broad low-pressure area some 333 km (207 mi) North of Tiananmen Crux, Saipan. It was ruled out to be a typhoon due to it’s meteorological behaviour matching that of a typhoon however it was classified as a cyclone and finally as a weather anomaly fifteen minutes after it’s detection. As it was forming in the Wulian Natural No. 55 region, an overland region that did not favour cyclogenesis with little to no humidity. And cold air was shielded by mountainous terrain.

Between 15—19 Demirus. The system rapidly evolved into a typhoon analogue rated at 102 km/h (63 mph). Which by then the name of Atticus would be assigned to the storm, Atticus was tracked moving along the east and then a sharp turn to the south. During it’s passage over the Wulian Natural regions and making touchdown with the city of Tiananmen Crux. Atticus reached it’s peak of 486 km/h (302 mph), winds so extreme it managed to bypass the Tiananmen Guardians causing catastrophic damage leaving the city largely destroyed. With many buildings destroyed, trees knocked down, broken, cars piled up.

By 23 Demirus, the city of Tiananmen Crux was declared entirely destroyed. And have been placed under a state of emergency, a major relief aid effort into the city was attempted. However the extreme damage to infrastructure rendered the efforts difficult, slowing efforts down as the lack of accessible roads or airports to accommodate Saipan aircraft landings. According to estimates by 25 Demirus, 20,000 people have been killed by Holocaust Atticus, 15,000 injured or missing and more casualties caused by subsequent Necrosy Squedomiis epidemic.

## Skin Painted Black (0 — 2 mdy)

The aftermath of Super Typhoon Atticus, now classified as a Holocaust by the SMS introduced Necrosy Squedomiis. A fast-acting infectious bacteria caused by the Inimcusbacteria Necrosiae. The bacteria caused by the inhalation of rottants and dust picked up by heavy winds. It was indicated that the bacteria originated most likely from the storm itself and introduced into humans through spillover infections. The 632 (CE) Tiananmen Crux necrosy epidemic became one of the first epidemics of necrosy in the world, and was one of it’s most severe at a death toll of 300,000 individuals.

The outbreak spread throughout all of Tiananmen Crux and into the rest of the territory of Saipan. It was initially mild, but by the later Prochery—Fin months, the epidemic would reach the capital of Saipan Crux. 2,000 cases had been identified within the first week, including 208 deaths, the rapid spread of the disease intensified by the complete destruction of Tiananmen Crux led to a large influx of refugees. It rapidly spread to other cruxes in Saipan, and the death toll was estimated at 1,900 people per week through the rest of the year. And by 18 Terminus, Saipan Crux declared a state of emergency and approved for strict lockdowns, the large-scale adoption of strict lockdown measures, and other containment methods were largely unsuccessful. Large waves of people infected with necrosy often passed through undetected, and any signs of symptoms turned fatal was highly infectious.

Saipan ordered a nationwide lockdown starting 24 Overture, 633 (CE) at a time when polyclinics reported being overwhelmed with infected following the second wave of infection in Saipan Crux city, further straining the healthcare services throughout the country. By 2 Deuterony, Coruna reported it’s first confirmed cases. Early measures included the cancellations of mass gatherings and events. Coruna would be subjected to a full outbreak of necrosy by Trimestry with 500 infected with cases beginning to rise sharply, prompting the government to issue martial law in order to contain the spread of the disease on 14 Trimestry. Monte Contra Crux was the first “Gnull” crux, droves of infected were transported to the city to combat the spread of the disease through mandatory mass quarantine in 633 (CE).

By late mid-year (Prochery—Demi to Prochery—Fin months), the infection rate and death toll in Saipan and the surrounding cities began to slow until in 6 Prochery—Fin, it was considered safe enough for people to return to the country. Saipan begun relaxing it’s lockdown policies, while Coruna remained in strict lockdown measures until 634 (CE), however, protests erupted in cities across Coruna over the stringent measures, some of which were so severe it caused a riot in Monte Contra Gnull by discontented citizens. The policies often had authorities confining people to their homes without work, some unable to leave to purchase or recieve daily necessities, some are citizens that do not reside in the Gnull and were transported by force due to suspicion of necrosy. A crackdown was conducted to quell the population.

A wave of widespread fear promoted by the potential rise of necrosy and holocausts. Starting the period of the Great Sky Terror.

*Main Article: The Great Sky Terror*

## The Great Sky Terror (2 — 11 mdy)

The **Great Sky Terror** has begun within the early first decade of the Evangelicene. The first Great Sky Terror accompanied the Miracle of Bogorione and the Fall of Tiananmen, with subsequent reports of anomalies emerging around the world. Citizens within Yharnam Crux during the years of 634—645 (CE), fuelled by civil unrest and heightened religious neuroticisms saw a period of actions of religious practice, including cases as the Great Yharnam Central Mass, and the Slurrey General Strike. 164,000 participated in mass events during the first year of the Great Sky Terror.

The period was characterised by the rhetoric of the end times. An expectation of the end of human history or the world itself which were supported by the Amharic, Patronaric and Orange Catholic faiths due to the compatibility for their theology. As most religions have opened their respective canonical investigations upon seeing signs of supernatural phenomena in the first years of the Evangelicene era.

Divine intervention and the threat of the “End of the World” concept becoming an overriding explanations for global crisis and challenges faced by the rise of eschatological events around the world. Even for such largely unrelated events like incidents of violence, economic, psychosocial and anthropomorphic issues. Fear of crisis was used as impetus for the series of riots and civil disturbances that occurred during the period.

## Second Wave Trade Crash of 643 (CE)

There was an eight-year economic recession immediately following the end of the Miracle of Bogorione in Coruna, Saipan and other countries. The extent of the recession was most severe within Coruna, as economic activity in the country fell 28.8%, starting with the four week crisis that followed the miracle due to the suspension of trade activity. The extent of the recession increased during the Great Sky Terror during the **Bourgánza Trade Strike**, or known as the **Second Wave Trade Crash of 643**.

## Kolnonia Crux Accords (1 Terminus — 7 Terminus 144 mdy)

*Main Article: Theological World Reformation*

The **Kolnonia Crux Accords**, known as the **Great Unification of 746** brought forth the movement of the Theological World Reformation. There were reformation attempts prior to the Kolnonia Crux Accords, which notably arose in the two years following the Miracle of Bogorione, when populations in Absithnia and Corudonia challenged religious leaders regarding the crisies of the 1st decade mdy. Local magistariat of the Amharic faith, Huldevrini Wryaangi posted a proposition to the Kolnonia Tokholan Mission’s House (church) offering to conduct academic disputation to the clergy in Kolnonia in 31 Freundary, 642 (CE). As Wryaangi was at a state of disarray, discontented by the lack of absolute answer as to the impetus for the events following the first Miracle. Which the clergy in the Tokholan Mission’s House accepted and allowed Wryaangi to reside within the mission’s house while planning for the academic disputation.

By Mournantry, Wryaangi sent a letter to the Magistariat Superior (archbishop) of the Kolnonia Crux Chapter of the Amharic Faith; Kastzel Basilë. Addressing to Basilë out of a desire to ask him to the global problems created by the Miracle of Bogorione. In the period of the Great Sky Terror, the Amharic Faith was highly divisive regarding the meaning of the crisis, and spoke of a concern that the lack of a coherent answer may cause further chaos to form. Basilê responded with his famous “I do not know” letter, which Wryaangi responded with offering to conduct a discussion with the high clergy of the Amharic Faith. Of which Basilë obliged.

The academic disputation, turned public discussion begun in 4 Mournantry, 642 (CE) where both Wryaangi and Basilë requested the opinion of theologians in Manor Taluskylä and his advisory. And requested action with the Amharic Faith. In Kolnonia, the conference caught widespread attention and had even warranted involvement with the Kolnonia Crux city government. Basilë advocated for a comprehensive conference that would expand outwards into other faiths, and believed that a unity could be reached under the shadow of crisis.

Following the proposal by the Amharic Faith, it’s ultimate goal was to improve relations, especially between the Amharic and Iraedist Faiths through an incentive to reform world religion to be achieved by common interests created by the Miracle of Bogorione. Of which an interest by Patronaric, Samu’ahwebi and the Orange Catholic Faiths have expressed their interest in joining the conference.

The following Kolnonia Crux Conference was held from 1 to 7 Terminus 642 (CE). It was a meeting of all major religious leaders in the Alaevie Plaza. With delegations from other countries to include the consideration of secular beliefs into the conference. An agreement in the discussion was created and voted on. Now the resultant Kolnonia Crux Accords were impromptu drawn up and signed. The accords outlines the reformations of beliefs that are percieved to be errors and discrepancies amongst religions to transition towards a unified belief structure in accordance to the crisies following the Miracle of Bogorione.

## Adoption of the Evangelicenic Calendar, and the Building of Nod (144 mdy)

The **Adoption of the Evangelicenic Epoch Calendar** was an event in early modern history that marked a change in the traditional Common Era (CE) calendar to the modern Evangelicenic Epoch calendar (mdy), or the Evangelicene era which both are still widely used today. The Evangelicenic Epoch calendar was declared in the Kolnonia Crux Accords to be used by all participating religions in the aim towards theological unification. The first state to officially adopt the new calendar being Coruna.

With the recovery of Coruna after the Miracle of Bogorione, and in accordance to the Kolnonia Crux Accords, a program of civic reconstruction soon began over the lost city. And a formal renaming of Bogorione Crux into Nod Crux, as it were to be declared a holy site by the Orange Catholic Faith.
