-3770 A.E - A Prophet, Albazaar Rufus is chosen to speak against the Cult of Ever-Darkness and dies a martyr, refusing to bow to the wickness of the Cult. He is burnt at the stake for "heresy" and the people discover the Cult were Moloch Worshippers. He did this in order to protect another Prophet that would be able to escape the land from God's wrath.

-3766 A.E - The first sign of the End Times, recorded by other ancient prophets and scholars in secret. It is the same year, Nimrod conquered the whole globe of Sol Eldium, naming his massive world empire, Baal-Bylon. The world religion had seemingly moved away from the One True Faith and instead moved towards a false counterfeit religion which was Moloch-Baal Worship. Many prophets are also hunted down after being discovered to have been "disturbing the peace." Only one and his family survived.

-3767 A.E - Warned by God, the surviving prophet and his family, which were only his eight sons built a large ship, taking with them many land animals. As they left, Arthandiel, the Celestial Father, the One True God, flooded Baal-Bylon, cleansing the globe of it's wickedness. -3535 A.E - The Great Divide within the Ancient Kingdom of Valanor into three consolidated Kingdoms; Greater Valanor, Cadurin and Babylnor.

Gradually, the Romalanii gain military influence and cause the Khersian Empire to fall in just two years. The Romalan Empire then became a powerful southern faction, rivaling that of the Ancient Kingdom of Valanor. The Romalan Empire follows the ancient traditions of Sun & Moloch-Baal Worship which also meant they claimed to be descedants of the Old Baal-Bylonic Empire. This would later cause war between the two great nations.

-3412 to -3278 A.E - (Ancient Era of Heroes) In the year -3412 of the Ancient Era of Heroes, it was during the reign of Empeor Tiberio Augustus of the Tiberii Dynasty of the Romalan Empire. Ambitious to conquer Valanor, Tiberio sent his legions deep into Valanor territory. At first, the tribesmen were defenseless and were enslaved by the Romanlan Legions. Amongst the enslaved was a boy named Arminus Greifonbergen, born in the year -3316 A.E, who was raised in the Romanlan capital city of Romus after being taken from his hearth and home at the age of 15 in the year -3301, watching his parents beg for mercy as they were also sold off to other slavers. They were never seen again. Before he was taken, his mother and father made him swear an oath to never bow down to the Romalan Empire, no matter what. Arminus promised this but in the years had forgotten his purpose during servitude to the Romalans. For five years, Arminus endured Romalan tactics, commands, orders etc. He initially didn't understand but learnt the Romalan way. When he became a well renowned general, he persecuted his own people, betraying everything his family taught him. Until, he was reminded by a simple woman and a prophet, who both knew his parents well. When Arminus found out the truth of his true origins, he wanted to redeem himself. Uniting the tribes, he told them he got them into this mess, he will get them out of it. Initially, they refused, pointing out his mistakes and imperfection. However, they knew he was correct and forgave him as long as he held to his promise to liberate them from the Romalan Empire's tyranny. Arminus Greifonbergen was chosen by seven tribal nobles of Valanor, whose descendants will eventually become the Elector Dukes of future Valorya, to be elected as the first King of a united ancient Valanor nation. There is a total of nine tribes not including the two ruling tribes of the Greifonbergens and the Castelgoths. The seven tribes includes the Weisenbergens, the Rossemnids, the Gotthenbergens, the Merinkovites, the Östengoths, the Rheingoths, and the Küstenvals. Later, one of the adopted Rossemnid noblewomen, named Elliena, whose father is from the Weisenbergen clan, marries Leothar von Greifondom of the Greifonbergen clan,securing the Rossemnid clan's connection to the Greifonbergens as well as having connections with the Weisenbergens by blood relation and the Castelgoths. Leothar's grandfather, Maximilius von Magnardom marries a noblewoman from Bergandi, which became a Dukedom of Britonnia after the Britonnii clan left the empire.The marriage between Maximilius von Magnardom of the Greifonbergens and the Bergandi Duchess, Maria will be for the purpose to secure an alliance for eternity between the Britonnians and the Imperials. Leothar's father, Leupold, marries Eleanora, who hails from the Östengoth clan, which further secured the loyalty of them, along with the rest of the tribes who had connections with the Castelgoths, the Küstenvals, the Östengoths, the Rheingoths and the Gotthenbergens. Just as he was elected as the first ruling King, riders from Romus entered the regional settlement and informed Arminus of the Emperor expecting to see him, to reward him for his loyalty. Required to keep a face in order to trick the Romalans, he told the tribal lords to act loyal and devoted. The ruse worked. Arminus returned to Romus and was rewarded a new rank amongst the Romalan military. When Tiberio got word of rebellion brewing amongst the Valanor tribes, he didn't realize who put them up to it. The Romalan Emperor sent four of his legions, commanded by Varo. But the Emperor didn't trust Varo that much and so, Arminus, who was picked without volunteering and was given co-command over the same legions. Varo had a bad feeling about this decision and unquestionably obeyed anyway. The Greifonbergen Rebellion, led by Arminus Greifonbergen unleashed within the forests of Teulonberg, where the tribesmen ambushed forty thousand legionaries, decimating most of their forces. The campaign, which failed ultimately led to economic collapse for the Romalan Empire while the tribes of Valanor believed they won their independence. The War was far from over. In the remaining years of Arminus's reign, he faced adversity and was martyred for wanting to further build his new dream of becoming Emperor. His descendants such as Gustaf von Greifonbergen later on, would continue his legacy. But none would become the first Sacred Emperor until the time of Magnar the Pious, Champion-Priest of the Celestial Valanar, first rightful wielder of the sacredly blessed Battlehammer, Ehrlich Zorn and Maximilius von Magnardom, who achieved the greatest accomplishment of building a massive city Magnardom to honor Magnar the Pious, wielder of the Battlehammer Ehrlich Zorn, patron-hero of the Pandemonian Great War. Magnardom would later become the capital city, Greifondom.

3306 M.E (Messianic Era) - About 106 years after the disaster in Teulonberg Forest, Jesus Christ is sent by God to save the world from sin. He is born in this year as the Son of God. Surprisingly, it's like time was going backwards, however, it was going fowards in negative time. When the Messiah arrived, time switched positively, symbolizing hope.

3306 M.E to 3336 E.C (Empirica Calendar) - Jesus lives His life as God intended. He gathers many followers, heals the sick and shows the wicked that love is better than hate etc etc.

"There will be peace when the Messiah returns again and War is only one of the many events to come to pass that we must endure through by keeping our faith strong in Him and the Celestial Father. We must let God triumph. It has been written by the ancient prophets that brother will fight against brother, father against son, kin against kin, as prophesied by the Messiah Himself." - Recorded by a Wise Prophet & devout follower of Christomar.

3337 E.C to 3368 E.C (Empirica Calendar) - Declination of the Romalan Empire because the undead take over and death is swept across the lowlands, creating space for new races to appear such as orcs, goblins, trolls, ogres, gnomes etc etc. 3368 E.C (Elder's Calendar) - The Romalan Empire which was narcisstically renamed as the Nerolan dynasty falls ultimately. Nero even took up the title of "Nero Augustus". More undead invade the world of Arcinia, after the after the defeat of Arthonidas and his brave Hero-Hoplites at Theomopylea. As more of Nero's failures were displayed, Nero Augustus got the name "Nero the Mad Emperor". The Romalan Empire is slowly overtaken by the Risen Drauguran Horde, thanks to Nero the Mad Emperor's ambition for power to become a god, he uses a book called the Necrodex. Nero's accomplishment of ambition backfires, opening a Rifting Abyss Portal between the living & the dead, causing a wave of a fatal cursed plague upon everyone to be turned into the mindless Risen horde of the Arch-Lich Emperor. Nero is killed due to his own narcisstic foolishness. This ultimately created the undead isles called Zor'Gol of which the undead slowly migrated there. The Locrium Necrogon Empire formed up. All matter of evil creatures also appear such as orcs, goblins, gnomes, trolls, ogres etc from these portals from the Rifting Abyss and took over what remains a wasteland in the lowlands of the once great ancient Kingdom of Valanor and the former Romalan Empire.
