Historical Timeline

This article contains a somewhat complete historical timeline of the history of Clamund. Most events would have a link at the end of the brief.

### Overview

Clamund has a history embroiled in conflict. This can be clearly seen through the "ages" that many scholars and historians refer to when mentioning important events in the history of Clamund with each age having a name associated with the aspects that come with it. More mindful scholars would also be mindful to avoid these types of ages and more than likely use the correct term of "Middle and Medieval" which clears the fantastical elements of these eras for ease of the academic mind.

## History Timeline

### Age of Magic (Dark Ages- Early Middle Ages) 0-600

The age of magic can be summed up as having the great majority of the history being ruled by tribes, clans and ancient kingdoms of elves and dwarves with their powerful sorcerers and wizards who rule their own areas of power among the feeble human, dwarven and elven tribes. This would change when the arrival of foreign adventurers and colonists from far-away lands would arrive on the coasts of Clamund to disrupt these ancient sorcerers kingdoms and topple them down altogether before 300.

**0AD- The Wizard Kingdoms**

The Wizard Kingdoms were around in ever since the earliest recordings of the history of the land. Giving the name of "kingdom" is a stretch as these kingdoms were ruled by warmongering Wizards of elven and sometimes human and very rarely dwarven descent who controlled the many tribes by means of fear and bullying into submission. These territories would usually collide with one another and in most cases would result in many conflicts that would end briefly. Many of these conflicts would be unrecorded in history albeit only a few which survived the test of time. These kingdoms were the main source of government in the realm before the arrival of the Visimarians. Any settlements that lived beyond these kingdoms were considered barbaric tribals who acted not so differently from the tribes that live under these brutal wizards.

**5AD- The War of Flint**

One of the first-ever recorded wars in Clamund history has erupted from two very powerful, but fragile kingdom states that was started by a tribe member killing a rival chieftain in a dispute. This conflict evolved into having the two sorcerers who ruled over both states to fight each other in an attempt to easily grab each other's lands during the time of conflict. This conflict would last around 5 years when the outclassed human sorcerer by the name of Cearbhall Mac Thomáis was cut down by the Elven Wizard known as Elfrog the wise.

**70AD- The Arrival of Visiman**

The arrival of Visiman the explorer opened a new avenue of technology and culture into the savage and stone age realm of Clamund. The colonists who came onto the shores of what is now known as Midheim had brought iron weapons and chainmail to the tribes of humans, elves and dwarves who at the time, only knew the arts of flint and stone tools. This technology was used swiftly by the colonists, who either joined or wiped out tribes around the iron gullet. Most wizard kings and queens who were found near the iron gullet were declared hostile by these magic fearing men and were swiftly taken care of due to the lack of the tribe's knowledge of sustained warfare and their large numbers of undisciplined warriors who lack armour and weapons of their foes.

Visiman was a key figure in these attacks as he himself was a former military officer from his homelands that was keen with fighting orcs who employed the same tactics as the tribals of Clamund. Visiman was also the main founder of the early stages of the Kingdom of Visimar right before his death in 90AD.

**75AD- The Founding of the Kingdom of Lambert**

During the invasion of Visimar in the east, the very near west was experiencing a cultural uprising as well as resentment for magic users and "wizard kings" that proclaim their right for the throne only by their powerful magic. This caused a rebellion of tribes equipped with Visimarian iron to fight tribal loyalists in a conflict that would last over a year. During this short span, A self-proclaimed king known only as Mac Cuarta fought against the infamous and now very old Elfrog the Wise in a duel of iron and magic. When the dust settled, Mac Cuarta subdued the loyalist tribes with an iron fist before establishing Clamunds first ever kingdom ruled by a non-magic user.

**101AD- The Founding of the Kingdom of Visimar**

After clearing the region near the Iron Gullet from the magical warlords, colonists and settlers began the process of establishing a sort of government near and around the Iron Gullet, these settlements were supported by monthly ships from the old kingdom that came to every settlement along the coast to drop of their supplies before heading to the next one. This influx of settlers and colonists formed what is now know as the Kingdom of Visimar, an empire in the making

**110AD- Raiders Found the Jarldom**

Savage and violent raiders who raided the western coasts of Clamund for slaves and what little wealth they coveted settle near the dragon's teeth. These raiders formed hastily made tent cities that they take down to move further inland. These raiders and pirates called their lands the Jarldom of Vestar, named after the dark gods they worship.

**120AD- Union of Maol-Moirel is formed**

After countless conflicts within the Maol-Moirel region and from pirates and raiders from the coast. A few noteworthy and ancient clans banded together to form Clamunds first clan union which many upstart kingdoms around them saw as a threat. Delving this new union into turmoil almost immediately after it was formed.

**132AD- First Merchant Cities**

After a few negotiations with the clans that dotted the coast of southern Clamund, a few merchant guilds from other nations created merchant ports and factories along the coast of Clamund forming the very first free cities of Clamund.

#### **140s - Formation of the Kingdom of the First Men**

Through several violent human rebellions north of the Jarldom of Vestar, a warlord king has made his name and established his domain west of the Sting River. The slave rebellion of Flynn in the early 140s deposed several wizard kings in a brutal rebellion which saw several thousand slaves rebel who mostly consisted of humans. Once the wizard kings were captured and executed, King Goerel; first king of the first men, established his kingdom at the old capital city of Duford.
