Turn of Third Mil­len­ni­um. Bel­lu­an­tic Age

• 2.015, Aveth slays the Drag­on Ptara­gan­thes and frees its sub­jects. The first of many giants to fall.
• 2.016 Start of the Stel­lades, Aveth’s cam­paigns against rul­ing ser­pents and sor­cer­er kings.  
• 2.049. The Predacean Colos­sus is thrown down. The Stel­lades con­clude. Aveth bestows pre­caria and benefices to her fol­low­ers, who found set­tle­ments on the gift­ed land through­out the South­ern Coast.
• 2.052, The leg­endary city of Hal­cy­on is found­ed by Aveth and her fol­low­ers, far east of mod­ern Alagór. These are the 14 “Hal­cy­on years,” in which human­i­ty flour­ish­es, plague dimin­ish­es, and leg­endary cheva­liers hunt the remain­ing ser­pents of the old Colos­sus.

• ~2.080. Huge idols are found in the Bay of Grey and become objects of wor­ship by the Awnlings and ear­ly Firls.

~2.090. Start of the Medieval Era

• ~2.100, Stel­lade benefices begin expir­ing. In the west, under Aven­tine rule, new landown­ers are pop­u­lar­ly deter­mined via blood type, deter­mined by feed­ing the can­di­date’s blood to san­guinar­i­an doves. This deter­mi­na­tion is deemed a sig­nal from Aveth and will be lat­er known as the Columbine Por­tent. The pat­tern of inher­i­tance becomes known as hemogen­i­ture. Those with holy blood are known as the Dright.
• ~2.150. Hemogen­i­ture spreads to the North. Awnish chiefs begin the prac­tice, estab­lish­ing feu­dal blood­lines. Some con­vert to Aveth, spark­ing war with Idol­a­trous neigh­bors.
• ~2.210. The first war between the Aven­tine empire and the Dright begins, fol­low­ing an Aven­tine attempt to destroy a Grey Idol.
• 2.230. The last fairy is killed on Som­mar Isle. The House of Som­mar, strong in their posi­tion, is estab­lished by Lady Eclille the Som­mar­i­an and rapid­ly becomes the strongest of the north­ern Dright.
• ~2.360. Fol­low­ing a year of storms, oth­er­world assump­tion quick­ens mas­sive­ly in the west. Huge tracts of East­ern land become hos­tile in the fol­low­ing years, sep­a­rat­ing and even­tu­al­ly sub­sum­ing the great city of Hal­cy­on.
• ~2.400. The Epiphaenid Revival. Sor­cery begins ris­es the in roy­al courts of the Coast. Mag­i­cal advi­sors and court war­locks pro­lif­er­ate.
• 2.480. Alfright Som­mar of Som­mar Isle becomes the first king of Fir­lund fol­low­ing a pro­longed uni­fi­ca­tion war.
• 2.481, First mint­ing of the Gold­en Pound by the House of Som­mar.
• 2.542, Fol­low­ing decades at war with the South, the Grey Idols are cast into the sea by an Avethan army. Fir­lund will large­ly for­get reli­gion hence­forth.
