Human+History

__**Human History**__
This is a time line of major events as it is known to the common people of this Continent

BF = Before Founding of first major human city (Politzania) AF = After Founding of Politzania

__110BF__ The elder races (elves, etc.) sail from over the seas, arrive on this continent and start to interact with the human race. The human race is no more than groups of nomadic tribes at this point.

__91BF__ Gifts from the Gods: The Norse Gods start to appear to the human race and give weapons of great power to aid the humans.

__1AF__ The first large human city-state is founded in the north-central part of the continent. This will be the start of Politzania.

__11AF__ Another large human city is founded in the far southwest. This is the start of the Labadour Kingdom.

__111AF__ Politzania forms a Republic and starts to absorb the nomad tribes. It will grow to become the largest human power on this continent. Labadour will maintain their feudal system and will become the largest sea power on this land mass.

__135AF__ Most humans are starting to create small city states, much like the ancient Greeks. However, there are still a number of humans who do not want to give up their nomadic lives.

__155AF__ The City State Confederation is founded as the small city states to the east of Politzania form a defensive and trade alliance.

__200AF__ Most of the humans tribes have either created a city state or migrated to the far northwestern lands or southern lands to stay free and live the lifestyles that they love. They will remain a threat to most of the city states and are never forced to settle. They will raid the city-states' lands in times of poor hunting, or just for the fun of it!

__244AF__ In the City State Confederation the City State of The Overlord will start to become the predominate city in the confederation.

__300AF__ The fading. At this time it was noticed that the magic seems to be slowly fading from the world. At this time only the most powerful beings notice. It will take many centuries for most people of the world to notice even a slight change. By the time of the Comet the number of magical beings have declined from the world and even the human mages and priests have noticed.

__320AF__ Labadour builds a great wall to keep the nomadic tribes from the north from raiding their heartland.

__320AF__ The first war between the Confederation and Politzania.

__336AF__ For the first time the orc race leaves their vast mountain lands to raid human areas in large numbers, starting a conflict that will never really end.

__340AF__ The elder races hold great assembly with the human race. The elder races start to withdraw from interaction with the human race. The human race is getting upset with what they call the elder races' arrogant behavior.

__500AF__ First case of reported contact with what will become called the Eastern Empire, the Dark Empire, the Empire of Magic or many other names. Not much is known about them, just that their homeland is located beyond the human lands far to the east.

__614AF__ Koin is founded (This was the starting area of the first characters in the game. )

__645AF__ The dragon races have stayed above the affairs of others, or so it appeared until this time. They start a war among themselves and none of the other races have any idea what the war is about. Many of the races suffer from this brutal war as the Dragons use all means to fight each other. At this time a Great pair of blue dragons take control of a pass next to the Overlord's city. After this war, the dragon races seem to take a more active interest in the human race.

__750AF__ The first of the Eastern Empire invasions of the human lands. They are repelled by the City State Confederation.

__815AF__ All of the druids in the land gather in a wooded valley east of the City State Confederation and start to build the Great Druid fortress.

__850AF__ The second invasion by the Eastern Empire. They are stopped at the great Druid Fortress with aid of the City State Confederation's armies.

__900AF__ The third invasion of the Eastern Empire. This one is very different from the other 2 invasions. Instead of using orcs hired to fight for them, The East included a number of what appeared to be regular Eastern military units with a number of mindless undead used as cannon fodder. They are stopped at the Druid fortress again with the help of both the City State Confederation and a Politzanian army as well.

__913AF__ Politzania started a war with the elves to the south of them. The reason for this war depends on which side you listen to, but most people are uncertain of why the war was started. Politiznia wins the first battle, but the elves retreat into the vast woods that they call home and hold off the Politiznian army for years before a truce is called.

__977AF__ The elder races start to leave and return to their homelands. In the end only a few thousand of each of the races stay behind.

__995AF__ The fourth Eastern invasion begins. A large army of undead, orcs, and magical beings of all types make up this Eastern army. They allow part of the army to lay siege to the Great Druid Fortress, but most of the Eastern army bypasses the Druids and head swiftly into the heart of the City State Confederation before they can muster the mass of their armies or Politiznia can aid them. They also lay siege to a number of cities for a few years in the City State Confederation, a couple of the cites fall and are razed to the ground. The Eastern Army cuts a path across the City State Confederation headed towards the Politzanian Republic.

__997AF__ The greatest battle of all time on this land is about to happen. The Eastern Army is massed just east of Politzanian lands preparing to invade. The large Politzanian army is gathered to meet them. A comet that appears every 100 years at this time blazes across the night sky before the start of the battle. However, this time it is much larger in the sky then ever seen by a living being. It disappears into the horizon and appears to crash somewhere to the east. The leaders of the Eastern Army lose control of the army. It fragments and runs amok. Some fight each other, others form bands and head into the country side. Before the Politiznia army can take advantage, the shock wave of the comet impact hits the area. Thus starts many years of the climate gone wild. Crops will not grow due to the adverse weather caused by the comet strike. Most of the Empires collapse into small city states and countless thousands of people will die from the lack of food and the chaos from the collapse of law and order.

__1100AF__ The start. The weather has once again calmed, and the cities start to band together once again.
