## History

### Early History

Sylenore was believe to be first formed in 1264 BA by natives in the Vetus Monivis mountains that was located in Hyper-Ashurnabil, Slowly constructing the ancient city of Arsinoe which served as a sanctuary from the cold and harsh environment of the Vetus Monivis.
By 456 BA, Sylenore became a regional trade power and grew rich from selling limestone that was heavily sought over in Hyper-Ashurnabil
as it was used to make buildings and structures.

In 48 BA, It was said that a prophet named Sylenore Amabilia who was a peasant that lived in the Sylenorian countryside came into the grand city of Arsinoe and tried to warn the king about the impending calamity which will hit Hyper-Ashurnabil. He was imprisoned for treason for nearly 30 years.

In 47 BA, a deadly plague hits the city and killed nearly 5 mil people. This was known as the First Calamity inside the religious book Mandata Dei as it was believe to be the first punishment from Deus. This disaster would be the largest plague ever in Sylenorian history if it is proven to be a real event

In 35 BA, A harsh winter fell upon Hyper-Ashurnabil, white snowy wasteland stretched for miles and there was no green to be seen. This caused a deadly famine that destroyed the population of Sylenore. It was also known as the Second Calamity killed nearly everyone in Sylenore, Leaving only 100k people left within Sylenore.

By 18 BA, The king finally went crazy and attempted to kill Sylenore Amabilia as he believe that Amabilia caused the calamities. He attached 4 ropes to each of Amabilia limbs and attached the ropes to 4 separate horses and tried to rip him apart. It was said that a lightning striked upon Amabilia and he floated into the air, His arms surrounded by a bright light forming the Sylenorian cross. When the king saw this it was said that he broke down in tears and begged for mercy from Deus. According to legends Deus told the king to bring his people to the sea that has not froze and use the ships of stone across the sea to the new world.
