***WARNING: THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!***

The timeline of this fictional world begins in 1000 and 1001. There is history of the world before these years, but not yet shown. It has been decided that once the project reached the modern/present years, a prequel would be put into action to give some extra lore behind everything.

## **11th Century (1001 - 1100)**

* **1001: Thean Colonization of the Island of Ireland.**
	+ Thean fleets, led by Gustav Svenson, set out from Thean Imperial Colonies in North Western Europe in November 1001.
	+ They land on the uncivilized island in December and begin to explore the surrounding area in order to see if it is good enough for settlements.Celtic tribes are encountered and Gustav and his men are forced to retreat to the sea, to return home and then come back to the island with a far larger force to deal with the natives.
* **1002: Start of the Ostburg Wars.**
	+ With decades of a border dispute along the Ostland Strip, the Kingdom of Ostland found itself at war, after its Northern neighbor of Heilhofen sent men to the disputed territories to construct forts along the border. The Ostburgians were outraged and declared war in response to halt their expansion.
	+ Hans Schmidt, the Ostburg’s most loyal and best performing soldier, led a sideshow force of 15,000 strong to defend their land claims in the West, while the king of Ostburg, Christof Deutsch IV, led a main military campaign in the East.
* **1002: Discussion of Clacton Defense.**
	+ Fescalians begin the discussion over how to defend their sacred capital city from future raids and wars, whether it be from the Theans or their enemies to the West and South: Avilon and Bunton respectively.
	+ Demands for a construction of a tall wall surrounding the city began to flow around December 1002.
	+ Labor men received permission for the construction two months later in February 1003.
* **1004: End of the Ostburg Wars.**
	+ A Thean Imperial ship is attacked by the Heilhofen, out of fear that they were about to attack them. The attack left no witnesses, or at least they thought. Two men survived and made it back to the mainland.
	+ The Thean Empire joins the war on a third side against Heilhofen. Giving the Ostburgs a bit of breathing room.
	+ By August 1004, Thean men land on the North coast and push inland, while the Ostburgs commence a counterattack. In September the Ostburgs capture the enemy capital and Heilhofen surrenders.
	+ Rather than continuing the war, the Theans offer peace with the Ostburgs, and the small state accepts. The Thean Empire would annex the coast while Ostburg would take the rest.
* **1008: Progress of the Clacton Wall.**
	+ After a progress report on June 9th, 1008, the defenses were deemed halfway completed and hoped to be done by the end of the decade, however some other experts believe that it may take longer to reach a conclusion on such a project.

* **1008: Great European Famine begins.**
	+ With the summer of 1008 being the most extreme and unforgiving season to come around since the 980s, poor harvests were beginning to go noticed and people began to become concerned about the issue. By August, half of the Fescalian people received less food than usual.
	+ People began demanding action to be taken against the famine. Starvation was quickly increasing by the months and no experts responded. The nobility and higher classes of society were almost unaffected by the famine, considering their wealth and free labor.
* **1011: Start of the Great Eastern Wars.**
	+ Apland and Klingpen began seeking more fertile land for farming ever since the Great European Famine began. Apland declared war on their smaller neighbor (Klingpen) as soon as news arrived that there were a couple remaining fertile land in their territory. Brastlav formed a temporary alliance with the Klingpens and pushed into Aplandish lands to distract them. Ostburg also joined the war on the side of the Klingpens and Brastlavs. Gothica supported the Aplandish in their own separate alliance. This began the Great Eastern Wars.
* **1020: End of the Great Eastern Wars.**
	+ By June 1020, Apland and her allies were victorious over the Brastlav Empire in the East.
	+ The Aplandish gain major borderlands from the Brastalvs, Klingpen would be annexed, and the Ostburgs are turned into a Puppet Kingdom. Gothica would gain the port city of Ishigrad from the enemy.

* **1024: Thean-Celtic War begins.**
	+ The vow to return to get revenge on the Celtic Natives by the Thean Empire has been recognized.

* **1024: Dorbeck Wars of Independence.**
	+ In August, while the Theans are busy fighting the Celtic Natives in the West, unrest grows in the Colony of Dorbeck.
	+ Under leadership of King Amhladh Loudain IV, an uprising occurs to make Dorbeck an independent entity from Thean occupation.
	+ Immediately men are called off the frontlines of the Celtic War and are sent to Dorbeck to fight the independence movement.
* **1024: Brookson intervention.**
	+ With the Thean Empire in chaos, many kingdoms across Europe make plans on how to intervene in the Dorbeck War of Independence. One of these kingdoms in particular, the Kingdom of Brookson formed an alliance with the Dorbeck resistance and joined the war on September 29, 1024.
	+ Before making it to the frontlines, the Brookson people send supplies to the rebels in secret by September 30th.
* **1025: End of the European Famine.**
	+ With a resurgence of fertile farmland with a more pleasant spring and summer seasons, and more rainfall to water the crops, crop related food items begin to reappear on shelves and on people’s plates. Over the next few years, deaths from starvation would slowly go down to pre-famine levels.

* **1025: Thean Decline.**
	+ Over the course of the wars against both the Dorbeck rebels, Brookson, and the Celtic Natives, the Thean Empire begins to decline and grow weaker with inefficient leadership among the military captains and the failure of the emperor to maintain order among his colonies.

* **1027: Dorbeck Wars of Independence ends.**
	+ After years of war, the flag of the Dorbeck Kingdom flew victorious over the highlands, the last bastion of Thean Loyalists.
	+ The Battle of the Highlands saw the rebels victorious. With the peace negotiations, Dorbeck would gain its rightful independence, Brookson would gain minor borderlands from the Thean Empire. The Theans would be forced to recognize Dorbeck and pay 18,100,050 gold in reparations.

	+ The people didn’t hear of the bad news until an hour and a half later when Fescalian officials announced that that king had died in his sleep.
	+ With Boutet’s death, and no children to take the throne, his younger brother, Louis Boutet III claimed rightful ownership of the throne to continue the path of Boutetes, meanwhile another younger brother of Edmond, Maxime Boutet I also claimed the throne.
* **1033: War of Fescalian Succession.**
	+ Louis Boutet III wanted to continue the path of the previous military focus to strengthen the kingdom against its enemies, meanwhile Maxime Boutet I wanted to halt the military focus and mend relations with its neighboring states. With this, both men looked for support from abroad. Many people in Fescal supported Louis, alongside Brookson and Dorbeck. While Avilon and Bunton supported Maxime. After tension grew between the two opposing factions, Avilon conducted an invasion to place Maxime on the throne by force, leading to immediate reaction from Fescal. Brookson and Dorbeck joined in to defend their ally and Bunton did the same. After much pressure, Bellone in Burgundy joined the war to support Avilon.
* **1035: Formation of the Anatolian Coalition.**
	+ Islamic Empires in Anatolia came together to form the Anatolian Coalition in July 1035, which would expire after they wiped the Christian Mythinion Empire off the map. They make battle plans and conduct military build up on the Mythinion border to prepare for the upcoming war.

* **1035: The Anatolian War.**
	+ The Anatolian Coalition declares war on Mythinia and advances Westward. The first battle took place in the city of Theana. The two sides clashed against each other on August 14, 1035.

* **1036: End of the Anatolian War.**
	+ The Myhtinions, with allied support manage to halt the enemy advance and even retaliate and push them back to the border by the end of April.
	+ By May, the Mythinions pushed the muslims back into Central Anatolia, which raised concern among the coalition states. After the capital was in the middle of being encircled, the coalition offered a white peace, being the first ever in centuries.
* **1047: War of Fescalian Succession ends.**
	+ After about a decade of constant shifts in frontlines and millions of deaths in Western Europe, Fescal, Brookson, and Dorbeck are victorious over the enemy, and Louis Boutet III is deemed the rightful man to take the Fescal throne, and Avilon, Bunton, and Bellone are forced to recognize this fact, and pay heavy reparations.
* **1048: War of Thean Aggression.**
	+ After losing control of the Celtic tribes and the Kingdom of Dorbeck, the Thean Empire adopts an even worse and more aggressive foreign policy, threatening any nation that dared ignore them or insult them. Even the most minor offense towards the Theans would result in immediate invasion. Unfortunately, Gothicia, Houtlen, Nodika, and Isselburg were deemed as threats to the Thean independence due to them being close by.
* **1050: War of Thean Aggression ends.**
	+ Gothicia, Houtlen, Nodika, and Isselburg claimed victory over the Theans in a mass land and naval invasion from both the North and South. The Thean Empire collapses from the inside out as the allies push in on all sides. Many warlords take positions in many regions of the nation and revolt. On November 22nd, 1050, the Thean Emperor announced the nation’s surrender.
* **1052: The Menswil Revolt & Collapse.**
	+ During the War of Fescalian Succession, many rumors in Bellone were flowing that the Kingdom of Menswil to the East was plotting and planning to invade to defend Fescal. As such, the Bellonians blocked and ceased trade along the Rhinestad river, crippling Menswil. Many have become outraged and demanded that Bellone resume trade. After Bellone had refused to reopen trade, the small landlocked nation began to crumble with many warlords taking sides and breaking away from Menswil control, hoping to regain control of trade. However Bellone still will not budge.
* **1052: The Menswil War.**
	+ With Bellone blocking trade with Menswil, the small, minor state began to crumble economically. For the conspiracy of Menswil collaboration with Fescal during the Fescal War of Succession, they declared war on Menswil and performed a swift invasion as the monarchy was falling apart at the seams.
* **1055: The Menswil Wars end.**
	+ The Kingdom collapses entirely with rouge nobility declaring independence. However Bellone gains border areas from the former state and expands in size.

* **1056: Kadadu Golden Age.**

* **1058: Establishment of the First Iberian Coalition.**
	+ With the Samul Empire in the South, the remaining bastion of Christian aligned kingdoms agreed to discuss possible courses of action against the Samuls, who have been in decline over the past decades, because of the Samuls inefficient leadership an growing internal division.

* **1058: The First Iberian War.**
	+ The Iberian Allies declare war on the Samul Empire on October 13, 1058 and quickly advance into hostile territory. The Samuls are caught off guard, and as such, their military is in shambles right at the start. A defense plan for the Samul capital begins later that week.
* **1060: First Iberian War ends.**
	+ After a fierce battle at the entrance to the Western Mediterranean, the Samuls beg for peace, and the coalition accepts. The lands are partitioned by the Iberian Kingdoms, and they leave the Samuls on the Iberian Peninsula however.

* **1061: Second Iberian War.**
	+ The Iberian Coalition declares war on the Samul Empire yet again to rip more land away from them and to make the Islamic Empire suffer even more. Despite this, the Samuls were more prepared this time,and the frontlines saw a tug-of-war pattern.
* **1062: Judisarian Military Focus.**
	+ In order to secure its position in Western Asia, the Judisarian Empire aims to claim dominance in its region whether by peace or force. The empire decided to go down a path of force, since it has no relations with surrounding states. As such, they began a military focus to build up a much stronger army and new cavalry formations and practises.
* **1062: Mythinion Naval Focus.**
	+ Like with the Judisarians, the Mythinions have their own ways of securing their position and remaining a relevant state within Europe and Anatolia, and with the past Anatolian war against the Turkic muslims, the Myhtinion Emperor announces a naval focus to increase trade with fellow friendly countries, and hopefully in the future they could use this in exchange for an official alliance with someone.
* **1067: Dorbeck-Brookson Alliance of Defense.**
	+ After the conclusion of the war with Thea, the kingdoms of both Dorbeck and Brookson agreed to form an alliance of defense in order to secure their independence from either a Nordic or mainland European force. Meanwhile the rest of Europe applauds Brookson’s efforts.
* **1069: Second Iberian War ends.**
	+ The Iberian Coalition, with extra supply aid from Fescal managed to push the Samuls back to the sea, and a new peace deal was made. The Samuls would lose even more land to the Iberians.

* **1071: Khugon Anarchy.**
	+ Chaos erupts in the Khugon Shogunate after the Shogun’s death the previous month. Many people suspect that the government would collapse because of the crucial loss.

	+ The invasion of Khugon is halted and soon turned around after the military takes power. A naval invasion is then attempted as well as a land invasion. The Nonsans offer a white peace, and the Khugons accept on the condition they never interfere with the Shogunate's affairs ever again.

	+ After decades of military focus and build up, the Tanghars manage to make an army of 80,000 men and a navy of 53,090 ships. Back in the capital, the Tanghar emperor and other Tanghar officials begin to pick their options to take on in war.

## **12th Century (1101 - 1200)**

* **1102: Ostburg War of Independence.**
	+ The rouge Ostburg guards and other officials rise up in rebellion against Aplandish occupation. Aplandish loyalists who were trapped in rebel territory were quickly captured and taken hostage.

* **1105: Ostburg War of Independence ends.**
	+ The Ostburgs managed to gain support from their former ally, the Brastlav Empire, and offered it back the old lands it used to own that were now under Aplandish control. As a result, the Brastlavs joined the war to support a fallen ally.
	+ In January 1105, the two allies marched on the Aplandish capital, ensuring the enemy surrender.

They even annexed other minor areas of Eastern Apland, leaving the kingdom landlocked once again.
* **1105: Brastlav Expansion.**

* **1106: Valdrivisk Expansion.**
	+ The Valdrivisk Empire begins to expand in order to not be encircled by the Brastlavs, whether the Brastlavs were planning on it or not. However this would only make relations worse between the two in the coming years.
* **1106: Start of the Brastlav-Valdrivisk Rivalry.**
	+ With the rapid expansion of the Brastlav Empire to the North, the Vladrivisk Empire in the South feared being encircled and then later being attacked by and incorporated into the Brastlav realms. As a result, as the border continued to expand, more men were snet to the border with their new rival in order to secure themselves. This led to concern among the people of the rival empire.
* **1106: Brookson Trade Focus.**
	+ With fear of a possible future war with the Thean Empire, which had failed to colonize an unclaimed island a few years back, the Kingdom of Brookson was planning to prepare its men for a fight. However they were lacking resources to create new swords and bows. As such they began to make trade agreements with the Kingdom of Fescal. And with Fescal hoping to improve its own economy, agreed to the deals and sent metal and other materials to the Brooksonish.

	+ The new emperor, Jia Chang’s ambitions continue to grow and he demands further expansion in Asia, and most of all, Emperor Chang begins to believe he is the true being to unite everyone, and he even begins to say that he is a God himself. Many theorists in Europe and Western Asia believe that his ambitions will lead to his own downfall in the long run, and they would definitely wait to find out.
	+ The Tanghar Empire declared war on Gangyong and Guixing in August. And with annexed land in Central Asia that now surrounds the two, the two passive kingdoms are even more vulnerable to defeat than they were decades ago.
* **1130: Tanghar Conquest of the Middle East.**
	+ The Judisarians and their rivals are suddenly raided by the Tanghar hordes. The sides agree to stop their fighting and unite against the invaders, however they all vow to continue their own wars once the raiders left.

* **1150: The Tanghar Scare.**
	+ With Tanghar aggression rising without signs of ever stopping, the Tanghar Scare officially begins with many monarchs and officials across Europe, Africa, and Asia beginning to fear the new empire on the horizon. In particular, Eastern European kingdoms and duchies begin mass militarism if they ever have hope of surviving the hordes flooding into the continent.
* **1156: Brastlav Buildup.**
	+ As the Tanghars expand, the Brastlav Empire is the first major European state to build up its army to protect itself. The Tanghars do the same, many threats were sent to the rest of the continent by the Tanghars themselves saying that they would burn their respective capitals to the ground if they refused to give in now. The European powers refuse to let the Tanghars advance any further than the Brastlav border.
* **1156: Valdrivisk Buildup.**
	+ As more enemy men show up, the Valdrivisk Empire is the next to mobilize, sending 40,000 men to fight the inevitable war against the enemy empire. The emperor taunts the Valdrivisks by saying their army is small and pathetic, even going so far to call their army “child’s play.” Which only infuriated the Eastern states in Europe.
* **1158: Temporary End of Tanghar Expansion.**
	+ In order to get stronger, Jai announces the Tanghars temporary end to expansion, to make time for recovery from the past and current wars so they were all in one place to conquer the continent. Recovery camps are set up along the border by April to help achieve this.
* **1159: Vassal States Made on Tanghar Western Border.**
	+ To better protect themselves, the Tanghar emperor agreed to form five vassal states along the borders with Valdrivisk and Brastlav. The same idea was considered in the two smaller empires, but they demanded that their people stay united in the face of external aggression.
* **1160: Tanghar Citizen Infected With a Strange Illness.**
	+ In a small village in the Tanghar Empire in the East Asia region, a mid-adult man falls ill with an unknown disease. The observed symptoms seemed to include a loss of memory and mental insanity, restlessness; enough to drive a man or woman insane. Coughing, sneezing, gagging, and even more mindlessness as other side effects.
* **1165: New Disease Within Tanghar - The Sadistic Plague.**
	+ By 1165, Tanghar medics gave the new disease a name, the Sadistic Plague, because of the “sadistic” nature of the illness and how it drove the victim mentally wild and unstable. Despite this discovery, the emperor only cared about conquering Europe, rather than a single citizen holding a disease that could be even more of a concern than conquest, despite multiple warnings from his medics.
* **1166: The Sadistic Plague Spreads.**
	+ With the failure to recognize the health threats, the disease is left free to spread across the empire, which reaches the former Mustuma provinces by October. Also a couple merchant ships become infested with the illness as well, bringing minor cases (for now) to Europe in specific trade port cities. Bringing only more panic to the other continents. Bringing health experts and scholars together to conduct their own research about the new illness.
* **1168: Mythinion Research of the Sadistic Plague.**
	+ Vasso Athanou leads the Mythinion efforts to discover more information about the rapidly spreading Sadistic Plague. Athanou is assisted by the most skilled and educated scholars and medics in Europe to make a breakthrough. The grand collaborative research begins in April 1168.
* **1168: Tanghar Weaponizes the Sadistic Plague.**
	+ After finally educating himself more on the Sadistic Plague, the Tanghar emperor decided to use this to his advantage and chose to weaponize the disease against his new enemies in Brastlav and Valdrivisk. Methods of the weaponization of the SP included catapulting infected animals over wall defenses of enemy cities.
* **1179: Tanghar-Brastlav War.**
	+ On March 27th, 1179, the Tanghar Empire made its move to declare war on the Brastlavs. Tanghar soldiers flooded into the border and raided settlement after settlement, using war tactics considered inhumane, sending them on the run. Even the average citizen wasn’t safe. Many innocent people were either taken hostage, kidnapped, or worse, murdered in large numbers.
* **1185: End of the Tanghar-Brastlav War.**
	+ After massacre after massacre, the Tanghars reach the capital despite taking heavy casualties on both sides. And when the Brastlav Palace was seized, Tanghar troops entered and set the building on fire, which quickly spread across the capital. With the atrocities committed against them, the evacuated and broken minded emperor surrenders to the hordes, leading to the Brastlav Empire to be split into several new vassal states.
* **1186: The Second Great Eastern War.**
	+ During the Tanghar-Brastlav War in the early 1180s, the Valdrivisks formed a coalition with other Eastern European states as a temporary pact against the hordes that just conquered the Brastlavs and tore them to shreds. The Tanghar Empire initiates a surprise invasion of Valdrivisk in July, dragging  the rest of the Eastern Coalition into the war with them. Rather than a swift victory for Tanghar, the frontlines instead start off with a tug-of-war pattern. By September, Herbruck and Brautarvik joined the Coalition as well. Western European kingdoms only sent supplies and useful materials to the Coalition to aid their efforts, while they themselves focused on curing the SP.
* **1193: First Cures For The SP Attempted.**
	+ Vasso Athanou and his team theorize a possible working cure for the ongoing Sadistic Plague. Medics are given the plans and are sent across the continent to see if the efforts would turn fruitful in their cause. A progress report on the plan would be sent back to Athanou on just that topic in the 1200s. As he waits, he sits alone at night, praying to the Lord that the plague be cured.

## **13th Century (1201 - 1300)**

* **1214: End of the Second Great Eastern War.**
	+ Gothicia’s holdings in mainland Europe are attacked by the Tanghar Empire, dragging them into the Eastern Coalition and the war itself. The Gothicians hold the Tanghars off in the sea while with a new ally, the coalition launches a new offensive. By September the coalition finally begins scoring more victories and pushing the invaders back. While the emperor was busy leading his army in Europe, the Sadistic Plague was wreaking havoc in Asia, igniting societal unrest back home. With the new situation no longer going in his favor, the empire agreed to a white peace with the coalition until the home issues were pacified.
* **1214: First SP Cure Fails.**
	+ When his report finally arrived to the Mythinion capital, Athanou is highly disappointed to hear that his teams’ cure had failed. However due to failing health himself, he turns the burden onto his son, Vlasis Athanou. After two months, the new team reorganized and attempts on a second cure were being discussed.
* **1214: Collapse of European & Asian Kingdoms.**
	+ With the plague wreaking havoc on the populations and stability of society in Africa, Europe, and Asia, many duchies and kingdoms were starting to crumble from the inside out. Particularly the states of Central Europe who were landlocked and had not as much access to trade and other useful supplies and materials.
* **1220: Chaos in Tanghar.**
	+ With the mass conquests of the empire, ethnic minorities and citizens of former kingdoms and empires riot against Tanghar rule. The emperor and his army are sent back to the capital to restore order, but by the time he would arrive by November 1220, it would already be too late to make any amends. Enough damage had already been done.
* **1220: Tanghar Civil War.**
	+ Back in East Asia, unrest erupts into a massive civil war across the Tanghar Empire. On his way back to the capital, he is captured by rebel forces and later is burned to death by the same group, leaving the Tanghar throne empty and ripe for anyone’s taking.
* **1222: Apland Defense Focus.**
	+ With the Second Great Eastern War over, Apland begins to focus on improving its defenses and military to avoid such a struggle. The flat terrain that Apland was settled on centuries ago was recognized and defense theorists tried to prevent the kingdom from being defeated again for the foreseeable future. Similar to Fescal, plans were brought up to not only defend the capital, but the entire border as well. The military portion of the new plan was for each of the regions within Apland’s current borders to require 10,000 to 15,000 men each, and for the defense construction, 150 men from each region were required to join in on the construction of traps, walls, military forts, and more.
* **1223: Second SP Cure Attempt.**
	+ Vlasis Athanou issues out the second attempted cure with new forms and varieties of medication, and this time instead of spreading the cure around Europe, more time is taken and certain citizens infected with the illness are tested on in Mythinia. If it were to be successful, then the team would be given the green flag to continue spreading the cure to other states in Europe.
* **1223: Second SP Cure Fails.**
	+ When the second Sadistic Plague Cure Report came in, Vlasis was met with unfortunate news that his cure didn’t help. Even worse, the cure his team came up with somehow made the illness more painful and terrible. However Vlasis refused to give up and regathered his team to bring up a third plan. Despite his confidence, it is soon halted with shocking news that Vlasis’ wife, Amelia, had perished on July 23rd to the epidemic, alongside his son. Emotionally devastated, he leaves the medical plans to his top researcher, Adonis Vidalas, who waits a week to restart the medical plans.
* **1226: Apland Medical Focus.**
	+ The Kingdom of Apland becomes more intertwined with medical research to end the epidemic. After hearing of Vlasis’ departure from the medical project in 1223, Apland sends a small group of their own medical theorists and researchers, and a couple scholars for good measure to help turn the tides against the SP epidemic.
* **1226: Samul Decline.**
	+ After being kicked out of Europe, the Samul only gets weaker and falls into corruption and further instability. The emperor’s rule has only been ineffective and puny, resulting in many to wish to part ways with the empire and its weaknesses. The emperor makes sure to respond with mass purges of anyone who may try to break away from the state. By October, 27 of the emperor’s closest “friends” are either arrested or killed for “acting suspicious.”
* **1228: Expansion of African Empires.**
	+ Multiple emperors across North and West Africa seek to expand their realms to scrounge for more resources and land for more settlements due to their growing population. Plans have been halted over the past decades because of the ravaging epidemic, but at this point the rulers on the continent were tired of waiting for the illness to die down. Men are sent into unclaimed land in September.
* **1230: Third SP Cure Fails.**
	+ The Europeans once again fail to provide a successful cure for the SP. The death toll was only going up and families of the team members were losing hope, some of them even came down with the illness themselves. In July the team saw a decline in members. By December, only roughly 14 people remained a part of the team. Adonis Vidalas quit after his wife grew ill, leaving a newcomer, Thodoris Vlachotis, who would prove himself to be the true game changer in their fight against the sickness.
* **1230: Half of Asia and European Populations Dead.**
	+ By May 1230, the death toll from the Sadistic Plague had finally reached past 3,000,000 deaths. The epidemic had spread across the known world and little hope remained. The Europeans began to depart from the project to fight the SP, and in November only 8 people remained. Thodoris Vlachotis continued to work diligently, day and night, until he would finally get it right. Make a breakthrough that the team's leaders never pulled off.
* **1231: Fourth SP Cure Attempts.**
	+ After yet another year or cure development, a fourth cure is made, this time using a special type of mold that many presumed would heal rather than kill, like the other types of mold around the world. So the “healing” mold was used in the cure. On August 18th, plague doctors were sent with the new cure methods in mind across the continent. They were even given to warlords in Asia.
* **1232: Fourth SP Cure SUCCEEDS!**
	+ As Thodoris waited in his room for any kind of results, he feared his efforts wouldn’t make the cut, but much to his surprise, is when the reports came back saying that the healing mold methods had worked! The team hollered in celebration at their success. After decades of failure, they finally did it! They spent the rest of the next few years making more of the new cure and giving it to more and more people for Europe, Africa and Asia to recover.
* **1232: Age of Healing.**
	+ June 11th, 1232 was deemed the day that the proclaimed “Summer of Rebirth” would begin! Many new scholars and experts across the world came to meet with Thodoris to ask him how he had done it. The world could now finally heal from the damage of the SP.
* **1235: One Quarter of Europe Recovered.**
	+ Over a quarter of Europe had received the cure for the Sadistic Plague by July 18th, 1235. The first phase of curing the monarchies and nobility, the moving on to heal the militaries, then the cures were expected to reach the lower classes of society by 1240.
* **1237: One Quarter of Asia Recovered.**
	+ The same healing phases were occurring in Asia, however it was slower due to the massive Tanghar Civil War and multiple independence movements. The rebel leaders weren’t healed until March 1237. However still by December the healing would stretch to a quarter of Asia’s population.
* **1237: Concert of Europe.**
	+ September 24th, 1237 began the “Concert of Europe,” where there would be a resurgence of European culture and new inventions and philosophy. Huibert Kelderman, a noble from Houtlen would come to lead the resurfacing of culture through the arts and inventions beyond human comprehension.
* **1240: Trade Resumes Worldwide.**
	+ With the Sadistic Plague now starting to die down, by June 1240, trade was slowly reintroduced worldwide. Africa, Europe, and Asia started to exchange supplies and valuable resources. However to reduce the spread, now the men on trade ships were expected to inspect the supplies given to them in order to make sure they weren’t holding any SP infestations. This new method in trade worked immensely.
* **1240: Militaries Recover.**
	+ By August 1240, the militaries of the world were beginning to get stronger and healthy. Any soldier who showed symptoms of illness were sent home or held in new medical camps. Captains of the guards across the world applauded Thodoris’ efforts.
* **1240: Tanghar Collapse (End of the Civil War).**
	+ After decades of no claim to the Tanghar throne, there was no centralized rule to rally around. As such, on April 9th, the peace deal was signed, carving up the empire into several smaller empires. Each new empire had a state proper and multiple autonomous (but still under their control) regions as well.
* **1243: Vanan Wars.**
	+ After trade was reintroduced in 1240, the Vans Empire sought clearer trade routes in the Mediterranean, and they had their eyes on the Levant and Northern Arabia, which was filled to the brim with natural resources… like gold. However, the sour relations between Christian and Islamic states resulted in Faqirim blocking off Vanan access to trade ports. The Vanans demanded they reopen the ports for free use. Faqirim denied any demands, and Vana declared war on October 10th.
* **1245: End of the Vanan Wars.**
	+ The Vanan fleet was superior to Faqirim, which only ended in disaster for the enemy. A naval invasion of the valuable port cities began on January 30th, 1245. The Vanans have blockaded the Mediterranean, banning trade between Faqirim and the Samuls and North Africans. When the bloodshed was too high, Faqirim surrendered. The Islamic nation was forced to hand over four of its most populous port cities to Vanan control.
* **1245: Establishment of the Vanan Trade Empire.**
	+ The Vanan Empire was reformed into the Vanan Trade Empire, now manipulating trade in the sea to their liking.
* **1246: Resurface & Rise of the Judisarian Empire.**
	+ With the collapse of the Tanghar Empire, the Judisarian Imperials regained control of their former lands, even going so far to incorporate former enemy territories that existed before being overrun by the Tanghars all those years ago. By November 12th, the Judisarians asserted themselves as the dominant regional power, and later the Judisarian emperor claimed leadership of the Islamic world, angering many other Middle Eastern leaders.
* **1248: Partition of the Samul Empire.**
	+ The failure to effectively rule the Samul empire was finally taken advantage of in November 1248. Many warlords broke away from Samul control, while Iberian states invaded what remained of their enemy. Then by December other former Samul states declared war on the Iberian powers to keep them out.
* **1253: Judisarian Territorial Peak.**
	+ The Judisarians incorporated their autonomous regions in Anatolia, officially connected their borders with the Mythinion Empire. And by May 27th, the Judisarian Empire justifies a war goal of conquest of the Mythinion Empire, sending a wave of shock and fear across the Christian world.
* **1253: Mythinion-Judisarian Tension.**
	+ With the Judisarian rapid expansion, the Mythinions were fearing an invasion. They just had to worry about the Tanghar Empire, the Safistic Plague, and now the Judisarians were on their very border with the goal of conquest. The Myhthions made fun of the Judisarians, calling them the Tanghar of the Middle East. This infuriated the Judisarians, who responded by placing more and more men on the border.
* **1255: Mythinia Guaranteed.**
	+ With the Mythinion Empire now under threat by the Judisarians, Christian kingdoms rushed to the Mythinion aid by guaranteeing its independence, and by sending heavy amounts of supplies and weapons. Mythinia was guaranteed by Vana, Berjas, Sasha, Fescal, Dracio, and Brookson.
* **1256: Christian Coalition Formed.**
	+ With Judisaria still not budging to remove its troops, the states that guaranteed Mythinion independence formed a “Christian Coalition.” And  Mythinia being one of its founding members. The Judisarians were further outraged and demanded to form a coalition with other states.
* **1267: Islam Coalition Formed.**
	+ An Islamic Coalition was finally formed in July, but only out of threats of invasion to other Middle Eastern states. Leaving the Islamic and Christian worlds in the middle of a showdown in Anatolia and the Southern Balkans. Many suspected war would erupt between the two dominant faiths.
* **1272: The Divinity War.**
	+ Tired of waiting, the Judisarian Empire conducted an invasion of the Mythinion Empire on September 1, 1272, dragging a majority of the Christian world into the war against them by October.
* **1288: The Divinity War ends.**
	+ The Christian allies beat the Judisarians at sea due to being larger in number, and they pushed forward across the Mediterranean and towards the Arabian shorelines. The Judisarians resisted furiously, but yet it was all in vain, the European forces continued to flood in each day. Anatolia was halfway occupied already and small advancements were targeting the capital. By February 1288, news came out that the Judisarian capital had fallen and the Christians had overrun the Muslims. In the peace negotiations, Mythinia would gain more lands in Western Anatolia and the Judisarians were forced to pay huge reparations.

## **14th Century (1301 - 1400)**

* **1301: Christian Status in Iberia**
	+ By April 3, 1301, any renaming Samul sympathizers or Muslim aligned people in Iberia, were either deported, arrested, or killed by the Iberian army. The kings of the region had completed De-Muslimification. Muslim relics in the Iberian states were shipped to the Middle East and remaining Muslim style constructions were made to look more Christian.
* **1301: Formation of the Tsardom of Grovodsk.**
	+ Within the fractured lands in Eastern Europe and the Urals, five small states, led by Golov Borisovich I, united to form the Tsardom of Grovodsk on June 16th, 1301. They themselves claimed to be the successor state of the former Brastlav Empire that was lost to the Tanghars years ago.
* **1304: Resurfacing of Asian Trade.**
	+ Asian trade finally reaches pre-epidemic levels, with the economies of the continent recovering slowly. Reintroduction to trade with Europe further reassured many that the future would be bright for everyone.
* **1310: The Muslim Migration.**
	+ All Muslims still living in the newly conquered lands of the Mythinion Empire, after the Divinity War, were either deported, arrested, or killed just like how the situation was in Iberia. This strategy being protested against, it still went ahead and worked. With the Muslim population decreasing between 1288 and 1310.
* **1311: The Fescal Economic Recovery.**
	+ Now with trade reopening, the Fescalian economy was now able to rise again. Trade deals were formed with Dorbeck and Houtlen. A trade port city was purchased in Asia to have more access to foreign resources and other materials.
* **1311: Half of Europe and Asia Healed From the SP.**
	+ At this point, Thodoris’ name went down in history as one of the best medics of his time. Other people found other clever titles for the noble man. The most popular title given to him was “The Man Who Saved Europe!”
* **1315: Rubrarian Naval Focus.**
	+ After gaining new coastlines from the former Samul Empire, a new naval focus was issued to construct new port cities and more ships for the Rubrarian Fleet. Carlos Vargas is tasked with leading the project for the kingdom. On August 9th, the project begins with the first port being made along the coast of the Mediterranean.
* **1316: Corbodan Ship Design Research.**
	+ With the territory expansion, Corboda tasks the people with a similar project to Rubraria, however they add new ship design plans to the mix. The most populous port along the sea is used as a construction ground for the C-Maria Ship, the first ship in Corboda to ever receive an official name or title. This would be an updated version of the rest of the Corbodan fleet.
* **1323: Establishment of the Sukan Empire.**
	+ In Western Siberia, Valevach Antonovich conducts military campaigns starting on March 22nd to unify his region of the crumbled Tanghar Empire. For now, he and Golov agree to stay in their own areas until their interests clash.
* **1330: Judisarian Conquest of the Levant.**
	+ Due to their allies in the Lebanese incompetence during the Divinity War in the 13th Century, the Judisarians demanded to know why their allies didn’t perform well. Yamah and Fiqirim protested stating they suffered from the harsh European invasion. The Judisarian Emperor denied their claims and said “You have disappointed and humiliated our faith. You have humiliated Allah himself.” And then on October 9th, Judisaria began the invasion to take over the lands and put them under “proper” rule.
* **1336: End of the Judisarian Conquest of the Levant.**
	+ February 1336 saw the Judisarian invasion of the Levant a glorious success and the Faqirim surrendered and Yamah was devastated when Jewish rebels fought against both Judisaria and Yamah. Yamah surrendered in early April. The Jews continued the fight against the Muslims however, and despite their own efforts they soon fell to the Judisarians in the same month.
* **1337: Kolkak-Grovodsk War.**
	+ In the midst of Grovodsk expansion, the Kolkak Khanate was in the North and in the way. The Grovodsk Tsar demanded the Khanate surrender itself and be incorporated into the Tsardom. Kolkak refused saying it had a right to remain its own entities if it so chose to be. Grovodsk ignored the statement and invaded otherwise starting on September 22, 1337. Starting the far greater War of Grovodsk Aggression.
* **1339: End of the Kolkak-Grovodsk War.**
	+ On December 25th, 1339, Kolkak had fallen to the Grovodsk invaders and the region was made into an autonomous region of the Tsardom. The Tsardom was stirring up more and more trouble in the Baltic Sea and had its eyes on Ishigrad, the port city that Gothicia had owned for centuries now, and the Tsar wanted these lands back. Also Brautarvik along the main Baltic Coast was in the way of Grovodsk domination in the region.
* **1342: Grovodsk-Gothician War.**
	+ The Grovodsks sent troops to occupy Ishigrad on January 10, 1342. When officials from the city reported this to the Gothician King, they demanded answers. And the Grovodsks flat out ignored them. The Gothicians sent demand after demands, and Grovodsk continued to ignore it. The Gothicians finally sent men to retake the city on January 30th.
* **1342: Grovodsk-Brautarvik War.**
	+ The Kingdom of Brautarvik was dragged into war against Grovodsk when they invaded in October to have more of a frontline against Gothicia. The Gothicians ended up sending supplies and advisors to Brautarvik in November. Despite the effort, the much larger and militarily superior Grovodsk blasted them back at every turn.
* **1350: End of the War of Grovodsk Aggression.**
	+ The Brautarvik holdings in the continent were already weak before and after the Tanghar attacks, but now with the Grovodsks pouncing on them as well, morale began to get lower. Then the capital of the kingdom fell in December. The Gothicians then invaded Brautarvik to stop the Grovodsks gaining full control. Even this was pushed back harshly, and Gothicia would surrender later in the month. With the signing of a treaty, Grovodsk would gain control over Brautarvik as an autonomous region and Ishigrad would be taken back into the state proper. The Gothicians would be left with paying reparations of 5,000,000 gold.
* **1361: Gothician Economic Crisis.**
	+ With the defeat in the last war against its enemy, the Kingdom of Gothicia was left in debt due to the spending on the war to just over a city. Many people were outraged with the reason to go to war, but the economy was on the monarchy’s mind. Men were sent to the mines starting on November 24, 1361 to scrounge for gold in the mountains.
* **1361: Gothcian Royal Council of 1361.**
	+ On December 12th, 1361, the Gothician Royal Council was called to discuss the debt crisis, the council itself was rarely called upon unless things truly were dire, and when the kingdom was in debt and vulnerable to its own revolts, a solution was needed. The mining solution wasn’t tampered with because if all else failed they would still have the mines for hope. It is decided that prices of products would go up in markets and the forging of new weapons would cost a lot more, despite many protests from the lower classes of society.
* **1362: Carlos Diaz Advocates the Idea of Constitutional Monarchies.**
	+ A young adult living in Corboda, Carlos Diaz exploits Absolute Monarchies being a tyrannical force. In March 1362, he advocated for the idea of a “parliament” so that the people of kingdoms received better representation and a say in what happens in the country. His claims don’t gain much traction among people for the next few years.
* **1365: Gothician Economic Plans of 1365.**
	+ With the debt still in full swing in Gothicia, the mines were getting crowded with miners and more gold was found each week. Men, women and children were made to work for more hours in the armories and farms and markets. The only benefit for these people were a more decent pay in gold. Any protests against the economic plans were responded to without hesitation.
* **1370: Gothicia Becomes the World’s First Constitutional Monarchy.**
	+ With there still being much pressure from the people to do something to fix the debt of the nation, the king reluctantly agrees to share power with a parliament. Now there are more perspectives of the ongoing crisis. The king states “I better not regret my decision” to the people on August 14th.
* **1373: Brookson Converts to a Constitutional Monarchy.**
	+ Following the death of Lewis Alexander II on February 9th, 1373, the Royal Council of the Kingdom of Brookson was reformed into the Brookson Parliament and the Constitutional Monarchy was established in the state under the pro-constitutional monarchy Arthur Alexander I.
* **1373: Gothician Parliament Plans.**
	+ The Gothician Parliament agrees to moderate the amount of people in the mines and on the field or in the markets. Evening out the amount of people in each profession, which was believed to solve the amount of people working.
* **1380: Fescal Military Reform.**
	+ Now with the Avilon and Bunton armies defeated for the first time in centuries, the Fescal military vows to make sure that Fescal remains great on the battlefield. Reforms are brought into discussion and new, and more efficient battle formations are drawn out and put into practice.
* **1380: Judisarians Plot to Block Trade To Cripple the Christians of Europe.**
	+ Still bitter about their loss in the Divinity War, the Judisarian Empire used its post-war conquests to their advantage. They begin to plan to cripple the Christians in Europe. They plot to ban all trade routes from Asia to Europe through their territory. All traders within the lands were expected to be captured and locked up. All news of the ban on trade would be forbidden to spread.
* **1385: Judisarian Trade Ban Takes Effect.**
	+ On October 31, 1385, the Judisarian Trade Ban goes into full effect. Traders are captured and any merchants found on the border are forced to turn around by using military force. News of the events are banned from leaving the borders. It would take weeks, maybe even months for the Europeans to discover the actions commited.
	+ The trade ban took effect on June 19, 1385. After the first day of the ban, hundreds of merchants are arrested and locked in the harsh desert prisons, with some managing to escape back into their homeland or Europe.
* **1385: European and Asian Protest Against Judisaria.**
	+ Two weeks after the trade ban, the Mythinian Empire is informed of the event and immediately the Mythinion emperor expresses his concern. Southern Asian empires also find out and demand answers for what was going on within Judisarian borders, However the Judisarians ignore all reactions.

## **15th Century (1401 - 1500)**

* **1409: European and Asian Demands Increase Against Judisaria.**
	+ Many more European leaders demand the Judisarians reopen trade and set merchants free. Like before, the empire continues to ignore all threats and demands from the Christians. Just in case, fleets are sent out into the Mediterranean and orders them to fire upon any enemy that dared interfere with what they were doing.
* **1410: New Trade Routes Theorized.**
	+ With the trade routes through Judisaria now banned, new routes are put into discussion. Going through the Urals and Central Asia was more inefficient than before, and the main naval route was going around the tip of Africa. Trade resumes with these routes for the following years. Demands against Judisaira still remain high no matter what. The European Powers hope that this nonsense is only temporary. Trade port cities are constructed by the Europeans along the African coasts for ships to resupply and for the crew to recover from their long journeys.
* **1418: Route Around Africa Inefficient.**
	+ With the most time consuming routes the only option for trade, the public riots for new ideas to be considered. Even with checkpoints along trade routes on the sea, many leaders were still not satisfied. More ideas are put into debate. The Judisarian Empire sent more ships into the Mediterranean if the Europeans ever considered war.
* **1419: Juan Lago Trade Route Proposal.**
	+ Using the fact of a round Earth, young Corbodan explorer, Juan Lago proposes a new trade route across the Atlantic and into Asia from there. He managed to gain support from small groups of other explorers across the kingdom, in 1420, he planned to propose this route to the Corbodan Monarchy itself.
* **1420: Lago Proposal Refused by the Corbodans.**
	+ On September 11, 1420, Lago made his route proposal, which was shockingly refused by the monarchy, with the reasoning that they couldn’t afford such an endeavor of an expedition. Leaving Lagos to find support elsewhere on the continent. Hoping to gain support from Fescal and/or Rubraria.
* **1420: Lago Proposal Accepted by Rubraria and Fescal.**
	+ By November 1420, the trade proposal was eventually accepted by Fescal, followed by Rubraria the following month in early December. The Rubrarians and Fescalians grant Lago a small fleet of ships with explorers from their respective nations to assist him.
* **1421: Lago Sets Off!**
	+ On February 14, 1421, Lago set off with his crew to find if the route would be a success. Food is supplied on the ships along with weaponry, tools, and more to help them survive.
* **1424: Judisaria Doubts Lago’s Efforts.**
	+ As Lago begins his task to help Europe, the Judisarian Empire mocks his efforts and hopes that his mission ends in failure and humiliation for the Europeans. They send more ships into the Arabian Sea to enforce their trade ban on both sides in both Asia and Europe at the same time. More men are sent to patrol the border in case of a surprise invasion via land.
* **1427: Asian Collaboration With Europe.**
	+ After several negotiations between the Europeans and Khugon is Asia, it was agreed that a middle aged explorer from Khugon, Aomine Misao,  would start his own expedition into the Pacific as a “collaboration'' with the Europeans to counter Judisarian behavior. Along with this, South Asian Empires like Kadadu sent their own navies to counter the Judisarian presence.
* **1428: Corbodan-Fako War.**
	+ On July 28, 1428, the people of Fako in Africa launched a surprise raid on the trade port city established by the Corbodans, leading to a declaration of war later that week. The Corbodans were spread too thin across the sea due to the African-tip route. Giving the Fako people the unfortunate chance to seize and cripple the fleets. War fleets are organized and sent to retake the area, vowing to show the enemy no mercy for their crimes.
* **1430: Rumors About Lago’s Death.**
	+ Due to months without return of Lago and his men, the public begins to speculate that the crew had died in a harsh sea storm, however others vow to remain optimistic. The Fescalians and Rubrarians debate on whether they should send more ships to see if they had crashed on an unclaimed island.
* **1432: Pacific Islands Discovery.**
	+ As the Khugons continue on their way in the middle of the Pacific, they discover and claim more islands for themselves, however due to the smaller crew size compared to the Europeans, further exploration of these new claims are postponed until they cross paths with the Europeans. New maps of the region are drawn according to how the new islands were found.
* **1434: Lago & His Men Find Land!**
	+ For many years, after being blown around by massive storms, Lago and a majority of his men endure the suffering., one of the crew members rejoices and alerts the crew by exclaiming how he spotted new lands in the distance. As the ships approached closer to land, it was indeed correct that they had finally reached land.
* **1434: Dawn of the Age of European & Asian Exploration!**
	+ With the founding of new lands, many considered this to be the beginning of the Age of European and Asian Exploration, starting now. However it would take more time for more people to find out about the discoveries.
* **1437: End of the Corbodan-Fako War.**
	+ Being outnumbered and forced back after a massive invasion performed by the Corbodans in August 1437, the war comes to an abrupt end with the Corbodans victorious. The Fako people are forced to cede all their land to the kingdom and pay up for the damages.
* **1437: Beginning of the Corbodan Trade Empire.**
	+ With the victory over Fako earlier in the year, many believe this is where the Cobodan Trade Empire would officially begin. Even though they only held trade port cities sparsely scattered across Africa as checkpoints for the African Trade Route, it had a lot of potential for the future of the kingdom.
* **1443: Lago & His Men Reach a New Continent!**
	+ After officially setting foot on land, no settlements are found. By December 1443, it is assumed they found a new landmass. After sending separate ships to explore the coastline, this theory was proven to be correct. It was really true that a new continent may have been found.
* **1445: Lago Sends a Crew Back to Europe to Report Their Discovery.**
	+ After two more years of exploration, Lago travels back to Europe to explain what he had found, leaving some men behind to settle the land with supplies and food leftover from the voyage.
* **1451: Rubraria, Fescal, and Brookson Find Out About the New Lands.**
	+ By January 30, 1451, the kingdoms of Western Europe found out about Lago’s discovery. Later in the year news would arrive to the Asian empires, including Judisaria, in which there was a shockwave of surprise, however they still did not let go of the trade ban.
* **1452: Khugon Ships Arrive.**
	+ Ships from Khugon finally arrive in the new continent that Lago had discovered a couple decades prior. However they would be met with a new surprise a few years after reorganizing themselves, and unloading their supplies and gear along the beaches, and setting up the first camp.
* **1463: First Contact With Natives.**
