Silver Age

The world became more organized, with a system of government and trade agreements between the many diverse islands. Peace was kept for many years.

0: The pivotal Year Of Time, when Areusians decided to create a new world order. This was when they began timekeeping, and so began year zero.

2: The Battle of Eleri. The debate on who should lead the new world of Areusor raged for two years before dissolving into war.

24 (Alathe 17): The Crowning. The first Surian (leader), Laina, was crowned. The war had gone on for 22 years, but finally, a balance had been struck.

98: The Castle at Kernwith Keep built. The massive stone castle on a cliff overlooking the city was finally completed. It would be the place where the leaders of Areusor would live and meet for many ages onward.

145: Founding of Cithina. In an attempt to create a place to gather and transfer knowledge, scholars founded this city made entirely of libraries.

208: Plague of Oserea. Characterized by fever, purple-tinged skin, and swelling of the joints, this disease ravaged Areusor for around four years before it trickled to a stop. It was thought to have originated from fungus on a previously unexplored cave on the Isle of Oserea.

267 (Alathe 17): Denu Elles, the first male Surian of Areusor, was crowned.

267 (Alathe 33): Denu was assassinated by heretic Tirithians.

384: Year of Drought. For a year, no crops would grow and no fish could be pulled from the seas. The cause is still unexplained, though many blame the blenna. Additionally, this event caused the rise of the Acandic religion. 448-479: Dvergr War: The dvergr fought for their right to be included as a sentient and therefore in the council and trade pacts. At first, many of the other sentients disagreed and fought against them. Eventually, they gave in and the dvergr were included as the sixth official sentient.

592 (Ildar 4): Adella Shaye published the first document on the aknabi language, changing the way species communicated.

673: Plague of Madness. Cause unknown. About ⅕ people would suddenly go mad for no apparent reason, seeing visions and attempting to kill themselves/others, and refusing to eat or drink, until they eventually died from dehydration. Only went on for a few months.

703: Attack on Kernwith Keep. A group of Tirithians, angry that the Surian Mora had chosen a son as her heir, stormed the castle. They were stopped, but in fear for her son’s life, Mora chose a new heir.

704: Citizens began to protest against Tirithians, insisting that men should be able to reign if they were worthy.

709: The Surian Res was chosen as heir.

715: The Split of the Tirithian Church. The few Tirithians who still believed that men should not rule Areusor broke away from the rest of the Tirithians and founded their own subreligion.

754: Res, who was known as the Immortal King for surviving many assassination attempts, finally died, poisoned by one of his servants. However, the servant wasn’t Tirithian -- he had poisoned Res because Res had recently gotten engaged, and the servant was jealous because he was in love with Res.

802: The founding of the Day of Reflection, by the Surian Reya. The tradition eventually died out.

1023: The School of Spellwork opened. It was free to attend and was created to provide an understanding of spellwork to anyone who was interested. Like training for most jobs, classes only lasted a year.

1603: One of the bridun, named Sh’min, moved to the far South, in Flennin. This was unheard of, because the dry and cold environment was unhealthy for bridun. Still, he lived a long and happy life, and inspired many other bridun to think differently about their lives. This also marked the beginning of more travel between Isles.

2090: The current Surian, Eremis, turned 100. She organized a large, extravagant party that only a select few were invited to attend.
