107FA:

Gwyn has another child called Gwyndolin, or Dark Sun Gwyndolin for his affiliation with the powers of the Moon. The Witch of Izalith founds the city of Izalith, thereby getting her title and starts experimenting with the soul of life, creating the art of pyromancy and demons.

Gwyn grants a Dukedom to Seath the Scaleless, creating the Duke's Archives, and gives portions of his soul to Seath the Scaleless and the Four Kings, who found New Londo underneath Anor Londo. Gwyn, fearful of the power that Humanity holds, brands all humans, bar the Catarinians, with the Dark Sign. The Dark Soul within each human is forever marked with the Fire of the First Flame to seal their true power and to remain subjugated under the Lord's will. Gwyn however creates a city called the Ringed City at the ‘edge of the world’ for the Pygmy Lords, the direct ancestors of the Furtive Pygmy. The true reason for this city’s creation was to contain the power of the Dark Soul, though this was kept secret for many years.

113FA:

The 'Rest' is founded in Catarina, the main city of Catarina, whose name revolves around whoever the king is known as; therefore, its first name is Aldricius' rest. The construction of the great wall of Catarina surrounding the entire kingdom begins.

115FA: Several minor towns and villages are created across Catarina, with Ironwüdd, Amberfall and Tearstone being the main 3. Ironwüdd, named after the Ironwüdd Grove, a forest which had trees rich with iron veins inside them and is processed into Bulwark steel, which is in turn used to create the famous Onion Armour for the Sieg Knights, but also for the regular white armour worn by common knights and warriors. Amberfall, a  town settled on Silver mines nearby and known for its colourful Amber coloured buildings. The Silver mined in amberfall is subsequently used to create the silver in most Catarinian swords as well as supplying the silver to the majority of the world. As a result most weapons in the world are forged from Amberfall Silver. Finally theres Tearstone, a hub for trade and famed for its special tearstone gems that are mined there, used to create the magical tearstone rings.

118FA:

A Great Oak Tree is discovered by adventurers led by Lloyd, the uncle of Gwyn who left to settle new lands. The land becomes known as Thorolund, and a new covenant is created there called the Way of White, referencing the white circles of magic that orbit the tree. Lloyd with his new found faith announces himself as Allfather Lloyd. Thorolund also mints a new currency of Gold coins with Lloyds face imprinted on them and depicting him with a white halo, to be used throughout the world.

A cave made of crystals is unearthed near the Grand Archives.

135FA:

Rupert of Catarina is born.

139FA:

The Dragon School of Vinheim is founded using the research created by Seath, focusing on the use, study, and teaching of Sorcery. Gwyn also claims most of the continent as his kingdom and names it Lordran. There are two continents, and this is based on the Western continent, which Gwyn names Gorlewynn.

149FA:

Seath, Duke of Anor Londo starts to create special sorceries based on the unique crystal cave, as well as plans to develop and create crystal weapons and armour.

169FA:

Rupert has his first and only child, Roderick.

171FA:

Velka leaves Lordran to found her own city, which is surrounded by high mountains and shrouded in mist. She named this city Carim. She also creates one of the first Covenants, the Covenant of Sin, specialising in doling out punishment to those that deserve it and have therefore sinned. In this time, she embraces her godlike status and grows special feathered dragons wings, resembling that of a crow, which subsequently becomes the symbol of her rule.

173FA:

King Aldricius, passes away at the age of 132. The kingdom goes to his son Rupert. Sieghart dies within the same week as Aldricius and a great festival and funeral is held in their honour called ‘The First King and His Knight’, with poems created in their name. Sieghart is interred in a special section of the White Palace cemetery, for privileged people who have done Catarina the utmost of duty.

205FA:

The Fivefinger Delta, a gigantic desert named for its five great rocky spires, becomes populated by multiple tribes simply known as the Northern, Western, and Eastern tribes due to their locations in the desert and found atop great spikes coming from the earth. Each of the tribes announce themselves as Kingdoms creating rifts between each other and vying for complete control over the desert.

208FA:

King Rupert of Catarina passes away. His only child Roderick succeeds him as King of Catarina.

217FA:

Siegmira, daughter of Sieghart dies. Before dying however, with the help of her brother Siegmund and King Roderick, a bylaw is created for the Sieg knights, that when the previous leader of the Knights dies, an tourney will be held between the next generation, to determine the next leader in an honourable way and to prevent in-fighting. Siegmund agrees to this without dispute as he never had any intention on becoming leader or having children. This also determines the line of succession between the house as only one person from each generation can become the leader (unless there is no heir).

A tourney between the three children of Siegmira and Siegmara therefore takes place, becoming traditionally known as ‘ The Sieg Knight Ascension’ with the first ascension going to Siegwulf Mirasson.

King Roderick also constructs a law for the monarchy itself. It effectively secures a one child policy for the monarchy, to avoid succession issues and in fighting, similar to that of the Sieg knights. From then on the current King/Queen can only have one child.

227FA:

Oolacile is founded in Lordran, whose people start to study the Abyss, a rift to a dimension completely shrouded in darkness that taints and destroys all who touch it.

229FA:

232FA:

Under the orders of Kaathe, the people of Oolacile unearth a large burial mound in a cave deep below Oolacile and in turn release Manus. The creature begins to engulf the city with the Abyss, transforming the people into grotesque creatures and slowly dooming the city.

233FA:

News of Oolacile reaches Catarina. Siegwulf and his son Siegbald travel to Oolacile in an attempt to slay the monster awakened there but is slain. Siegbald manages to flee, realising the doomed nature of the city and how it would take an army to destroy the entities there.

239FA:

The first flame starts to fade, making the wielders of the Great Souls fearful.

241FA:

As the first flame weakened naturally from its first incarnation, the Dark Sign branding humans weakened as well. This change grants humans the ability to return to life, marking the beginning of the Undead. However, with each death, Undead lose more of their humanity, gradually becoming completely hollowed. This hollowing process causes them to lose their minds and memories, as the Dark Sign consumes their souls with each demise. To sustain the Dark Sign, humans must absorb humanity from others, essentially consuming the Dark Soul within others and feeding on the souls of the fallen. This practice became a central aspect of the kingdom of Lordran, Anor Londo, and other subregions within Lordran. Souls become the primary currency, driving Lordrans economy.

247FA:

A prophecy is declared, stating that those who come from the dark souls (meaning humanity) will be Gods in the Darkness when the flame fades, and the Gods will be powerless. Gwyn starts to construct asylums across the continent in the hopes that he can corral all of humanity into them, so that the chosen one can never come forth. Most of the undead outside of the ringed city are corralled successfully and forced to go hollow in the Asylums.

248FA:

The Witch of Izalith uses her Life soul to try and recreate the First Flame. She fails and morphs into the Bed Of Chaos, transforming all of those around her, including her daughters and only son, into hideous monsters and dooming the city of Izalith, creating the first of the demons.

250FA:

Knight Artorias heads to Oolacile with his faithful companion, the Great Grey Wolf Sif, to try and quell the Abyss himself. Siegbald journeys to meet Knight Artorias too in an act to avenge his father.

251AF:

In a desperate act, Gwyn and his knights journey to the Kiln of the First Flame and use himself as kindling to prolong the First Flame and become the very first Lord of Cinder.
