Timeline

>1500 BOV: Lanjyr existed as one of many planes, sustaining itself with its aspect of warmth.

~1500 BOV: The Ancients created a planar configuration around Lanjyr using the Sacrament of Apotheosis, after a century of discussion among clan representatives. They also added a sun, since daylight helped keep monsters away. Unfortunately, the Gidim remained in the system and threatened Lanjyr. About six months later they changed the planar configuration a second time trying to expel the Gidim, but were rendered extinct by the resulting planar barrage. Sijhen remained on Lanjyr, trapped within the Ziggurat of Apet's planar seal. A gremlin known as Fortuna Major, future Granny Allswell, inhabited Av at this time.

~1200 BOV (Before Our Victory): King Kelland defeats the fey titans and founds Risur, the first mortal nation on the continent of Lanjyr. In the following centuries, other nations rise up throughout Lanjyr.

~1117 BOV: The demonocracy arises, its monstrous rulers enslaving the primitive nations of the north. Risur keeps it from expanding south, and Elfaivar blocks its eastward growth.

~500 BOV: Triegenes the fisherman founds the Clergy in what is modern-day Danor, overthrows the demonocracy, then dies. He was believed to have ascended to godhood, although in reality he gave up the chance when offered.

They fail and the Great Malice happens when Dala is killed as Srasama's avatar. Danor collapses into chaos as the nation becomes a dead magic zone. The seat of the Clergy moves to Crisillyir, which begins to colonize the devastated lands of Elfaivar. Dwarves seize control of their own nation in Drakr.

48 Days ATE: The Forward Symposium takes place in Cherage, bringing together world leaders at Danor and the Obscurati's invitation. Marcel, Gatria, and Harkover make a surprise appearance to convince most nations to ally with them against Gradiax instead of allying with Danor/the Ob against Risur.
