Timeline

The following is a timeline of events prior to the beginning of The Fires of Amatera.

## Timeline

### Pre-Cataclysm

#### ???BGC

* The People of Archaia prosper. Not much is known about them or their civilisation, as they have been lost to time.

### Post-Cataclysm

#### 0AGC

* The Great Cataclysm takes place. When it came, the top of Amatera Mountain split open, spewing lava and covering the sky with darkness. The earth shook violently and the ocean surrounding the mountains got so hot they began to boil. The Neck, the land connecting Tochi and Ylliad, broke apart, forming the Broken Neck. The land surrounding the mountain ended up permanently burnt, later being dubbed the Scorched Lands. Most of the People of Archaia were killed in the onslaught of fire and ash.

### The Shattered Kingdoms

#### 100-400AGC

* Tochi slowly recovers after the Cataclysm, slowly forming a loose collection of kingdoms. Though some would try to unite or conquer the other kingdoms, none would succeed—for a time. Not much is known about this period.

#### 385AGC

* Mariella Din Blüt, would-be conqueror of Tochi's lands, rises to power. She manages to form weary alliances with her neighbouring realms, but her reputation as a cold-hearted murderer spreads across the lands and none really trust her.

#### 397AGC

* Queen Mariella grows increasingly deranged, seeing the people she has killed dining with her and in her bed. Sorcerers and Kishis try to help her, but she grows increasingly paranoid with every passing day.

#### 399AGC

* Mariella, in a fit of madness, kills her second monarch, Leto Dan Prent. This causes an uproar from both the nobility and the common people, threatening a rebellion. In less than three months, Mariella is overthrown by her own son, Matar. She is soon executed at the Grand Temple, and her son takes her place. To reduce the stain of his mother's actions, Matar changes his name to Din Trellin.

### The War for Tochi

#### 400AGC

* Sensing weakness in the continent to their north, the still newly founded Kingdom of Ytterbron invades Tochi. King Le'Topro of Ytterbron is, however, met with extreme resistance from King Matar.

#### 403AGC

* Machi, a sprawling city to the east of High-Mountain, is razed to the ground by Ytterbrene forces. Shortly after, three corners of the city would persevere, forming three small villages by the names of Vaerill, Nymme, and Sea Farm.

#### 405AGC

* King Matar, after losing his wife to the Densen Sickness, stages a meeting with the leaders of the Shattered Kingdoms. They ultimately agree to join their forces to fight against the Kingdom of Ytterbron, finally uniting the land into one and forming what would eventually become the Din Trellis Empire.

#### 410AGC

* Le'Topro of Ytterbron falls in battle near the Scorched Lands. His nephew, Kal'arta of Ytterbron inherits the throne.

#### 411AGC

* Ytterbrene forces retreat back south. Though defeated, they still manage to return with over half of their original forces.

### The Traitor's War

#### 1480AGC

* House Dan Vole openly enters rebellion. Other houses including house Van Cavernite declare their support, essentially splitting the continent into two. Their first attack is the assassination of the seventy-three year old Forrin Din Trellis.
