## Timeline of The Age of Heroes

**Year 0** - 5th of October (2021-09-05) and the First official day of the server and the beginning of the Age of Heroes. The Olympians came to claim the Plains. the Aquilans colonized the Mountains and the Riserians colonized the Savannah on the continent of Spawnia.

**Year 1** - The Olympians begin praying to the blue axolotl Clitus, who bless their nation and their leader, king Deiiwa who's of the Freia Bloodline. Aquilans, in accordance with their grim king Clockwrk, give praise to their Winter God of Nanook, officially. The Savannah culture called the Riserians do not pray. Their culture evolved around hating men and thus, it was the only culture to only accept one man in their entire society. See Mikethemike.

**Year 2** - The first human tribes to make contact was the olympians and aquilans. Arrows where fired and battle almost broke out, but King Deiiwa and King Clockwrk where able to cut a deal and agree on a non-aggression pact. Both tribes promise to not interfere in the other one's war, and to come to the aid of the other if they are attacked first.

**Year 3** - The First Olympus-Troll War. The race of Trolls have been active in the south of Spawnia, hiding in the deep taiga. When they made first contact the humans attack them. In two raids the trolls lost many lives to Olympians and later their God, the holy Mothermoo, who was kidnapped and displayed from the walls as an insult towards the trolls. Really a *Haha, we got your God*-type of situation. This plunged the Troll tribes into panic mode, resulting in them naming their first king ever. King Smurfxt

**Year 4** - King Smurfxt's reign was short and full of failures. After an initial success bringing the Mothermoo back, the downfall continued. At this point the trolls where dying out, but the fall would come much later.

**Year 5** -

**Year 8** - Propaganda starts circulation in Olympus pushed by an organization called IJF, calling for the end of tyranny and the holding of the first democratic election.

**Year 13** - King Deiiwa calls the first meeting of the People, soon called the Senate and they decide to transition towards a more democratic way of doing things, still under the watchful eye and mind of their beloved Clitus. King Deiiwa, considered the least tyrannical of all nation rulers during this time, volounteered himself to abdicate. This unselfish act made the Olympians offer the first term of Consulship to Deiiwa, who refused and instead chose to focus on speaking with and for the Bucket God.

Next the olympians decide to hold a vote on who should lead and Sillimaito is elected the first consul. He instantly revealed himself to be the conspirator behind the Posters and the founder of IJF, and instantly start making the nation more dictatorlike than it's ever been. But the people can now call themselves senators to distinguish themselves from other races. So yeah?

**Year 14 -** Some aquilans start worshipping an occult deity called Tiamat, or the Blood Queen. Szarekjagganoth and King Clockwrk where both known to show interest in this esoteric cult of destruction, that in later times would be deemed illegal by every nation on Earth.

**Year 16** - The aquilans build a bridge across the Choiros woods, needling into viewing distance of the Piglin Empire.

**Year 21** - Battle of the Bridge, where the Light Division of the Piglin Empire made first contact with the human races on Spawnia. 5 piglins fought a coalition of about 20 members from Olympus, Aquila, Risero and the Troll Tribes. The fighting was hard and sacrifices great, but it ended in a stalemate when the Emperor arrived. Faced with his powerful soul fire magic, a compromise was soon reached. The piglins returned to their cities and the aquilans promised to tear down the bridge crossing over the Choiros region, which could be seen from the walls of Memnon.

The Island that at first seemed deserted soon turned out to be haunted by more than phantasms. Sassparo, the Berserker, led the defense against the invaders but doom seemed inevetable for the tiny island nation. Then at the crucial moment, The Heavy Division of the Piglin Army, led by General IsakSauce, charged in and turned the tide of the battle.
