## Welcome to the Epic World of Sol Eldium aka the World of Äldenhammer By J.Y

(Created by massive inspiration from especially Warhammer Fantasy, initially Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Legend of Zelda(Hyrule Total War), the Elder Scrolls & Tamriel's graphical art/music etc, BBC's Merlin Show's version of the Arthurian Legend, some things from DC Universe's Genesis vs Apokolips, the Amazons of Themyscira, the Justice League. Then there is the 1995 animated show of the Legend of Prince Valiant and Warcraft. Keep in mind, it's not the same because the World of Äldenhammer includes romance between individual men and individual women. It is essentially the World of "All is Fair in Love & War" and ofc inspired & heavily based off of Historical figures such as Biblical ones; God of Israel, Babylonians, Prophets, the Messiah etc, Leonidas & the 300, Shakespearean plays, the Plantagenet Dynasty, Maximilian & Maria, as well as mythical legends such as Arthur & Guinevere, the Knights of Camelot, Avalon, Excalibur etc. Largely also inspired by the Dream of Albion soundtrack written by Jeff van Dyck from the Medieval 2 Total War Series & Even the Warhammer Total War series. Thank you Jeff van Dyck. I want you to compose music for my world one day please.)

This wiki is dedicated to the World of Äldenhammer universe containing the Planet of Sol Eldium aka the Planet of the Evergreen and the eldest plant under the blazing golden sun, a world of fantasy, wonders, faith and adventures. The overworld is called Sol Celestium; Planet of the angels, celestial beings aka the Celestial Overworld where God resides aka the Celestial Heavens above the shining sun. Within the Planet of the Evergreen, there is a dark underworld called Pandemonium.

-3373 A.E to -3368 E.C (Empirica Calendar) (The start of the Ancient Era aka the Age of Heroes plus the Rise & Fall of the Romalan Empire) - The undead began rising for the first time without anyone knowing that it was Nero who was behind this practice. This period was known as the 1st Age of Heroes, when warriors rose up to fight against this growing evil. Serpenoids are then born from Medusa, who collaborates with the Khersian Empire to overtake the Lacodanian Uplands; forever turning it into marshlands forever. Agleothans, led by their King and other free allied city state hoplites stood bravely to it's last breath. (Different cultures, different technological levels, same world, varying times)

-3770 A.E - A Prophet, Albazaar Rufus is chosen to speak against the Cult of Ever-Darkness and dies a martyr, refusing to bow to the wickness of the Cult. He is burnt at the stake for "heresy" and the people discover the Cult were Moloch Worshippers. He did this in order to protect another Prophet that would be able to escape the land from God's wrath.

-3766 A.E - The first sign of the End Times, recorded by other ancient prophets and scholars in secret. It is the same year, Nimrod conquered the whole globe of Sol Eldium, naming his massive world empire, Baal-Bylon. The world religion had seemingly moved away from the One True Faith and instead moved towards a false counterfeit religion which was Moloch-Baal Worship. Many prophets are also hunted down after being discovered to have been "disturbing the peace." Only one and his family survived.

-3767 A.E - Warned by God, the surviving prophet and his family, which were only his eight sons built a large ship, taking with them many land animals. As they left, Arthandiel, the Celestial Father, the One True God, flooded Baal-Bylon, cleansing the globe of it's wickedness.

-3473 A.E - (Ancient Era of Heroes) Rise of the Romalanii Tribe, which started off as a sun worshiping cult within the Khersian Empire. Gradually, the Romalanii gain military influence and cause the Khersian Empire to fall in just two years. The Romalan Empire then became a powerful southern faction, rivaling that of the Ancient Kingdom of Valanor. The Romalan Empire follows the ancient traditions of Sun & Moloch-Baal Worship which also meant they claimed to be descedants of the Old Baal-Bylonic Empire. This would later cause war between the two great nations.

-3412 to -3278 A.E - (Ancient Era of Heroes) In the year -3412 of the Ancient Era of Heroes, it was during the reign of Empeor Tiberio Augustus of the Tiberii Dynasty of the Romalan Empire. Ambitious to conquer Valanor, Tiberio sent his legions deep into Valanor territory. At first, the tribesmen were defenseless and were enslaved by the Romanlan Legions. Amongst the enslaved was a boy named Arminus Greifonbergen, born in the year -3316 A.E, who was raised in the Romanlan capital city of Romus after being taken from his hearth and home at the age of 15 in the year -3301, watching his parents beg for mercy as they were also sold off to other slavers. They were never seen again. Before he was taken, his mother and father made him swear an oath to never bow down to the Romalan Empire, no matter what. Arminus promised this but in the years had forgotten his purpose during servitude to the Romalans. For five years, Arminus endured Romalan tactics, commands, orders etc. He initially didn't understand but learnt the Romalan way. When he became a well renowned general, he persecuted his own people, betraying everything his family taught him. Until, he was reminded by a simple woman and a prophet, who both knew his parents well. When Arminus found out the truth of his true origins, he wanted to redeem himself. Uniting the tribes, he told them he got them into this mess, he will get them out of it. Initially, they refused, pointing out his mistakes and imperfection. However, they knew he was correct and forgave him as long as he held to his promise to liberate them from the Romalan Empire's tyranny. Arminus Greifonbergen was chosen by seven tribal nobles of Valanor, whose descendants will eventually become the Elector Dukes of future Valorya, to be elected as the first King of a united ancient Valanor nation. There is a total of nine tribes not including the two ruling tribes of the Greifonbergens and the Castelgoths. The seven tribes includes the Weisenbergens, the Rossemnids, the Gotthenbergens, the Merinkovites, the Östengoths, the Rheingoths, and the Küstenvals. Later, one of the adopted Rossemnid noblewomen, named Elliena, whose father is from the Weisenbergen clan, marries Leothar von Greifondom of the Greifonbergen clan,securing the Rossemnid clan's connection to the Greifonbergens as well as having connections with the Weisenbergens by blood relation and the Castelgoths. Leothar's grandfather, Maximilius von Magnardom marries a noblewoman from Bergandi, which became a Dukedom of Britonnia after the Britonnii clan left the empire.The marriage between Maximilius von Magnardom of the Greifonbergens and the Bergandi Duchess, Maria will be for the purpose to secure an alliance for eternity between the Britonnians and the Imperials.  Leothar's father, Leupold, marries Eleanora, who hails from the Östengoth clan, which further secured the loyalty of them, along with the rest of the tribes who had connections with the Castelgoths, the Küstenvals, the Östengoths, the Rheingoths and the Gotthenbergens. Just as he was elected as the first ruling King, riders from Romus entered the regional settlement and informed Arminus of the Emperor expecting to see him, to reward him for his loyalty. Required to keep a face in order to trick the Romalans, he told the tribal lords to act loyal and devoted. The ruse worked. Arminus returned to Romus and was rewarded a new rank amongst the Romalan military. When Tiberio got word of rebellion brewing amongst the Valanor tribes, he didn't realize who put them up to it. The Romalan Emperor sent four of his legions, commanded by Varo. But the Emperor didn't trust Varo that much and so, Arminus, who was picked without volunteering and was given co-command over the same legions. Varo had a bad feeling about this decision and unquestionably obeyed anyway. The Greifonbergen Rebellion, led by Arminus Greifonbergen unleashed within the forests of Teulonberg, where the tribesmen ambushed forty thousand legionaries, decimating most of their forces. The campaign, which failed ultimately led to economic collapse for the Romalan Empire while the tribes of Valanor believed they won their independence. The War was far from over. In the remaining years of Arminus's reign, he faced adversity and was martyred for wanting to further build his new dream of becoming Emperor. His descendants such as Gustaf von Greifonbergen later on, would continue his legacy. But none would become the first Sacred Emperor until the time of Magnar the Pious, Champion-Priest of the Celestial Valanar, first rightful wielder of the sacredly blessed Battlehammer, Ehrlich Zorn and Maximilius von Magnardom, who achieved the greatest accomplishment of building a massive city Magnardom to honor Magnar the Pious, wielder of the Battlehammer Ehrlich Zorn, patron-hero of the Pandemonian Great War. Magnardom would later become the capital city, Greifondom.

3306 M.E (Messianic Era) - About 106 years after the disaster in Teulonberg Forest, Jesus Christ is sent by God to save the world from sin. He is born in this year as the Son of God. Surprisingly, it's like time was going backwards, however, it was going fowards in negative time. When the Messiah arrived, time switched positively, symbolizing hope.

3306 M.E to 3336 E.C (Empirica Calendar) - Jesus lives His life as God intended. He gathers many followers, heals the sick and shows the wicked that love is better than hate etc etc.

"There will be peace when the Messiah returns again and War is only one of the many events to come to pass that we must endure through by keeping our faith strong in Him and the Celestial Father. We must let God triumph. It has been written by the ancient prophets that brother will fight against brother, father against son, kin against kin, as prophesied by the Messiah Himself." - Recorded by a Wise Prophet & devout follower of Christomar

3337 E.C to 3368 E.C (Empirica Calendar) - Declination of the Romalan Empire because the undead take over and death is swept across the lowlands, creating space for new races to appear such as orcs, goblins, trolls, ogres, gnomes etc etc. 3368 E.C (Elder's Calendar) - The Romalan Empire which was narcisstically renamed as the Nerolan dynasty falls ultimately. Nero even took up the title of "Nero Augustus". More undead invade the world of Arcinia, after the after the defeat of Arthonidas and his brave Hero-Hoplites at Theomopylea. As more of Nero's failures were displayed, Nero Augustus got the name "Nero the Mad Emperor". The Romalan Empire is slowly overtaken by the Risen Drauguran Horde, thanks to Nero the Mad Emperor's ambition for power to become a god, he uses a book called the Necrodex. Nero's accomplishment of ambition backfires, opening a Rifting Abyss Portal between the living & the dead, causing a wave of a fatal cursed plague upon everyone to be turned into the mindless Risen horde of the Arch-Lich Emperor. Nero is killed due to his own narcisstic foolishness. This ultimately created the undead isles called Zor'Gol of which the undead slowly migrated there. The Locrium Necrogon Empire formed up. All matter of evil creatures also appear such as orcs, goblins, gnomes, trolls, ogres etc from these portals from the Rifting Abyss and took over what remains a wasteland in the lowlands of the once great ancient Kingdom of Valanor and the former Romalan Empire.

3368 E.C to 3266 E.C - For 57 years, there was peace until War finally came in the year 3266. Again, the 66 within the 3200 seemed to stand out to the prophets as a constant motif about the End Times coming forth. The years were also going fowards and backwards, concerning how history keeps repeatig itself. Man, Elves and Dwarves marched in a Sacred Alliance against the armies of evil. Together, in the lowlands that once belonged to Valanor, which now was taken by chaotic forces of darkness, they fought to retake their lands and for their peoples' freedom.

3368 E.C to 2500 E.C + (Empirica Calendar) - Backstory: The Rise of the Mortal Realms, Wars against the forces of evil, including the undead, Serpenoids, corrupted humans, orcs, goblins, trolls, ogres, vampires, and werewolves. The war doesn't stop as this is only the beginning of the end. This was known as the Pandemonian Invasion.. This was when the mortal realms first formed an alliance against evil; the combined forces of men, elves and dwarves. The second elected King of man, Gustaf Greifonbergen of the Kingdom of Valanor along with the first High Elven Prince Eldorvindel Celestiondiel(Ancestor of Eldrin) of the Grand Principality of Celestor and the first High King of the dwarves, Thangoldorf Runehammer (Ancestor of Thrangor) of the Kingdom of Thulamdor. It is ultimately believed that ever since the Rise of Nimrod, there was also the Rise of the Patrons of Old; Four heroes who became exalted after defeating Nimrod who returns as a demon prince later on. Their names,Magnar Greifonbergen the Pious,Chosen Champion-Priest of the Archangels & rightful wielder of the Battlehammer Ehrlich Zorn, who became Sacred Emperor temporarily of the united Valanor tribes, giving mankind the power to defeat evil more easily, after Gustaf insisted he wasn't worthy even though Magnar told him, one day, one of his descendants and more along the bloodline of his kin will prove worthy because Gustaf himself proved to be humble. The other patron heroes included Aelrindel the high elf warrior,  Grundalvir the Dwarf Axemaster & Aurora the high elf seer. The three monarchs of the three races saw these four heroes return when they ultimately fought against the forces of evil during the Pandemonia Invasion. But sadly, the Pandemonian Invasion ended the ancient Age of War-Heroes. The four patrons ascended to Heaven until needed again in Sol Eldium's Greatest Time of Need. The Greifonbergens are somewhat based off of the Cherusci tribe of ancient Germania led by Arminius. The ancestors of the dwarves crafted and smithed the Battlehammer, Ehrlich-Zhorn aka Honest Fury in German. The Battlehammer is passed down from Magnar Greifonbergen, who was the first Sacred Valoryan Emperor and who ascended into the Heavens. That is how the Valoryans came up with the title of "Sacred Valoryan Emperor." Magnar is an imperial patron war-hero of the Valoryans.

2230 E.C to 2300 E.C - Gustaf Greifonbergen earned the named "Gustaf the Humble" because of his humility towards refusing the title of Sacred Valoryan Emperor, as he believed he wasn't worthy. The title was given to the patron hero, Magnar the Pious, who accepted the title in order to secure a sacred tradition. Gustaf Greifonbergen's life span. His descendants extend all the way to Leothar's time starting from 2598 E.C and beyond.

2421 E.C - The Rise & Formation of the Kingdm of Nordica to the Far North
2423 E.C - The Dwarves reform into a thanedom below the far northern Kingdom of Northmen. After losing their King in the Age of Pandemonium aka the Pandemonian Invasion, the dwarves decided to use a new form of government....until they can restore the former glory of the Kingdom of the dwarves.

2300 E.C to 2598 E.C - From Gustaf's time to Leothar, many heirs descended from Gustaf only made it to King, until one became Sacred Valoryan Emperor. One they call, Maximilius von Magnardom of the ancient Greifonbergen tribe. In the year 2530 E.C, Maximilius von Magnardom was born and at 20 years old, he was elected King of the Valoryans. He marries a Bergundi Duchess named Maria from the Kingdom of Britonnia to further secure an alliance between the Britonnians and the Imperial Valoryans. Upon the Prophet's approval after much prayer, Maximilius proved worthy to ascend to the title of Sacred Valoryan Emperor and was crowned in the year 2470 E.C. This sacred tradition then became a sacred legacy for the ages to come that even Arminus, the First Elected King, who led the Greifonbergen rebellion way before that Gustaf never achieved due to his humility. But unfortunately, there was another rebellion brewing. Siegmund, who wanted the throne, declares war on his own father, Maximilius. Siegmund recruits men called Khuman and employs sorcerers of the forbidden arts. One of them called Maldagor. Slowly, this corrupts Siegmund and the Khumen with him, changing them from pure human to corrupt wicked humans.

2475 E.C - 2523 E.C - Uther was born in Uther Pendragon forms the Kingdom of Britonnia. When he was 20, he embarked on a sacred quest with his dukes to pursue the belief that the Lady of the Lake lived in Avalon on the Isle of Eyre. He discovered it was true and was told of many things to come by Evelyn. He didn't believe it until the Treaty of the Golden Harp was secured with a promise of marriage between his future son, Arthur and Brian's daughter, Guinevere/Selena O'Kelleaigh. At the age of 23 in the year of 2498, he married Ygraine and had a son born of magic named Arthur in the year 2499. Ygraine died at chilbirth and this makes Uther sad for about 5 years. He allies with the Irish in 2495 because of a shared prophecy being foretold by Evelyn, the Lady of the Lake. This Alliance was known as the Treaty of the Golden Harp. Uther invited Brian and his family to Camelot for a Great Feast. They enjoyed their time and were discussing the future of their children. Uther is betrayed within 3 years from 2495, when Tristan de Boi, outraged that Uther would ally with the Kingdom of Eyre, plotted to take him and the Irish High King, Brian O'Kelleaigh, down. Tristan de Boi challenged Uther the first time during the feast at Brian's castle, Cathair Dubhlinn. Uther declined and said the knight had too much to drink. Luckily, Brian also knew of the prophecy and warned Uther that it was coming to pass. The Princess of Eyre survives at the age of 8, saved by Merlin and was taken to the Lake of Avalon, where the Lady of the Lake looked after her for the next 8 years. However, Uther and Brian die, leading their men and fighting the forces of evil to the end, both secluded and outnumbered in the first Siege of Camelot and the Siege of Cathair Dubhlinn. Both died in the year 2523 E.C. The Irish King was just two years younger than Uther, who was 48. This Era of Conflict was known as the War of de Boi. This war ultimately lasted for 25 long years from 2598 until 2523, when Merlin finally managed to save Britonnia from collapsing by using his magic to thwart Tristan de Boi and his horde of undead. Merlin, at this time has yet to discover more traitors abroad.

2477 E.C - 2523 E.C - High King Brian O'Kelleaigh forms the Kingdom of Eyre. He and his wife at the ages of 21 to 22 in the year 2499 has a daughter named Selena O'Kellaaigh aka the next Lady of Eyre and the once & future High Queen Guinevere of Britonnia. At the age of 16 in the year 2513, Selena meets Arthur for the first time. Within 10 years, Arthur, after discovering the plot of Tristan de Boi, tells Selena aka Guinevere of what had happened to his father and to her parents. The two agreed to marry and to rule Britonnia together, bringing the Era of "The Dream of Albion" to life, as prophesied by the seer, the Lady of the Lake, Evelyn. In the year, 2524 is when they become the High King and High Queen of Britonnia, after Arthur drew the sword Excalibur from the stone in the forests of Avalon. At first, the other nobles were doubtful and eventually came to believe that he is indeed the once and future High King, resurrected to rule of all Britonnia, not just Albion. Britonnia includes the lands of the south across the Britonnian channel and Eyre.

2566 E.C to 2622 E.C Siegmund's Rise, the Death of Maximilius Greifonbergen and most of the Imperial bloodline, towards Leothar's Rebellion, towards Siegmund's defeat and the coronation of Leothar as Sacred Valoryan Emperor. Siegmund may have been 56 years old but his lust for power and such caused his age to be cursed with youth through bidding the souls of the innocent, serving the Nercro-gods of darkness. He, along with his army of Khumand Horde became very cursed and mutilated by the corruptive powers of the Ever-Darkness

Leothar's timeline ranges from 2598 to 4036 E.C (All protagonists achieve eternal life at the end after Jesus returns to stop all evil once and for all. It is a happily ever after ending.)

During the period of 2598 to 3036, it is known as the Aurean Era aka the Golden Age of Arcinia's nations.

2674 E.C to 2681 E.C The Khulan Horde, liberating Cathay from enslavement, allying with the Nipponese people

2792 E.C to 2819 E.C Ultzaoc War in the New World and the alliances with the Incande and the Yucatti.

2820 E.C to 4036 E.T (The End Times) - The Virtuous Alliance with Divine Intervention defeats evil, freeing many lost souls, giving them peace and true happiness plus the Second Coming.
