5e Timeline

This page is dedicated to a listing of events in 5e Oustomia's history. Much of it is documented, but there are still many aspects of the world completely undocumented by historians and scholars. There are also 'pre-history' events. Pre-History events are those events that happened, and scholars are aware of, that predate the creation of calendars and proper cities by humanoid civilizations.

## Pre-History

* -10,000: According to the Book of the Damned, backed by vague texts of a number of Deities, Oustomia was created within the same planetary arrangement as Toril. Oustomia was split from the arrangement and sent hurdling through the Beyond, before finding itself in a new arrangement.
* -9899: Ancient texts tell a tale that Oustomia and it's sister planet both underwent the same calamity, being split apart by Ao. For Oustomia, it was taken by two Brothers - Tolan and Talan - and dragged far away from Toril, so that the two could never meet again.
* -9034-8900: Three Empires are known to have formed roughly around this time, with 9034 being the earliest known time. **The Empire of Vorknosh**, **the Empire of Uria**, and **the Empire of Milz**.
* -8873: The Thii crash land on Oustomia, a gift from Brother Tolan, and they begin to spread across the Northern Tundra. Primitive orcish tribes frequently clash with these mindless **Thii**, prompting rituals based around the hunting of these deadly creatures. The Thii fight back, and begin to absorb much of the **Northern Orc****'s** strengths, but few of their weaknesses.
* -8823: **The Empire of Milz** discovers the Thii, as well as the Northern Orcs. They are intrigued by the strength of the orcs, and the adaptation of the Thii. They begin to experiment on both species, and uplift the Northern Orcs, forcing them to become a client race under their reign.
* -8800-8700: **The Empire of Uria** takes a note from the Empire of Milz's example, and begins to search the primitive races among them; they discover elves, and begin to teach them culture, spiritualism and new ideals. But likewise, the brutish **Empire of Vorknosh** has found their own race during this time; another type of elf. These jungle dwelling elves are brutally enslaved under their Master's heel.
* -8669: A battle is raged on between two massive dragons. By the end, both are slain from the conflict. **The Flame Wastes** are formed, and the entire area becomes a Wild Magic zone.
* -8632: **The Empire of Milz** loses control of their Thii creatures when the Hivemind sends an Avatar down to Oustomia; the Thii are united under a powerful psionic Royal Thii and begin to attack their former 'Masters' in the Empire of Milz.
* -8601: **The Empire of Milz** is utterly decimated. They are absorbed, devoured, and assimilated into the Thii. Depictions of both the Thii and the race that made up the Empire of Milz show similarities between the two, suggesting the Thii absorbed so much of the Milz that they became one race. During this time, the Northern Orcs are nearly annihilated, but survive by retreating to the Northern Tundra; a place that Thii no longer desire to visit.
* -8598: A reluctant pact is formed by the **Empire of Uria**, and the **Empire of Vorknosh**, and their client races. But a third race joins; Dragons against the **Thii Horde.**
* -8543: The Ancient of Cats blesses a savage elf babe; this babe becomes known as **'The Jaguar Lord'**. He quickly rises up through the ranks.
* -8490: Nearly 100 years later, the event only known as **The Thii War** is over, and the Thii are destroyed; forced into near extinction by the combined forces of the Empires and their Client Races.
* -8482: With the weakness of the **Empire of Vorknosh**, the Savage Elves as they have become named, rise up against their Masters with the help of the powerful warrior known as 'The Jaguar Lord', they force the **Empire of Vorknosh** into the deepest parts of the underground and claim their ancestral jungles as their home.
* -8218: Years of peace go by, and the **Empire of Uria** has never been able to recover from the **The Thii War**, their hives are all but decimated and empty. The remaining members of their Empire congregate in ancient tombs, deep in the mountains of Teln, and begin to hibernate.
* -8200: The **Spires of Teln** are erected in the Mountains of Teln, created by the Elves who were taught by the **Empire of Uria**, these elves whom inhabit them become known as **Teln Elves**, although they have little want or need to meet with the other, more primitive races. In their tall spires, none but dragons and other intelligent flying creatures can visit them.
* -8000: Many of the oldest races begin to appear here; serpentfolk, giants. But these races all have something in common. They bear the brutality of the **Empire of Vorknosh.** Indeed, from the underground tunnels of the world, these malevolent creatures have adapted to the darkness, and have created equally evil creatures; drow, giants, serpentfolk and other wicked creatures of the night.
* -7992: One member of Vorknosh rebels against the others, and in secret, creates Dwarves. This ancient progenitor is unknown to the Dwarves of Oustomia, but he is forever revered by them. These Dwarves ascend from the deepest parts of the world, and into the Teln Mountains, where they begin to learn of their own culture, religion, and this new world.
* -5000: Ancient Humans begin to appear, and the first human Empire is formed in the **Northern Tundra.**
* -4843: For many years, the **Empire of Kalal** creates a utopia of science, technology, and growth. But in a sudden attack, the **Northern Orcs** attack. In 17 days, the Empire of Kalal is devastated. Their science and knowledge was dedicated, not to war, but to gaining more knowledge. The orcs take nothing, and leave ruins on the shores of the Northern Tundra, fading back into their forests.
* -2000: Some **Teln Elves** have come down from their towers, and found that dwarves have begun to create a thriving nation underneath the stone, and in some places, on top of it. They begin to exchange knowledge, and begin trading. The Elves teach the Dwarves of magic; both arcane and divine, whilst the Dwarves teach the Elves of Stonework, and building, as well as industry.

* -1000: Many **Teln Elves** feel that they must descend from their towers
