History

What has been kept of the long and complex history of Ceryniotsklesu can be read in the following tables.

Foreonit Era

The Age of Creation
Origin of Humans: Two original species, the Vurlix and Vurbris, emerge in different regions of the world. Vurlix: Found across Klamith, Veumand, Ebuceci, Hera, and West Jorban. Vurbris: Found across Eub, Oris, Oken, Griogubul, Numea, and East Jorban. Mystical Beginnings: This period is shrouded in mystery and lacks documentation, but it was an age of primal magic and ancient deities, with little distinction between mortals and gods. The Great Bifurcation: The Vurlix and Vurbris diverge into two distinct evolutionary paths after an environmental cataclysm. The event is triggered by the eruption of the mythical Mount Aerukhan, which spreads ash across continents, dividing populations and leading to unique adaptations for survival. The Creation of the Deiks: Ancient texts suggest that the Deiks (divine enforcers) were not originally gods but Anthrals who ascended through forbidden rituals involving Vurlix relics. This leads to the rise of early god-king figures who dominate the Vurlix and Vurbris for millennia.
The Shattering of Osulf’s Crown (Year ~870): -- Take this out, Bauturii aren't a thing by this time. In Veumand, a great king named Osulf attempts to forge alliances using a magical crown crafted from Báuturíí blood. The crown shatters in a violent betrayal, spreading its shards across the continent. Each shard is rumored to contain latent hemomantic power, becoming a source of legends and quests.
The Starfall of Yllanov (~563): Event: A celestial body crashes into Ebuceci, creating the Yllanov Crater and introducing cacodeem corruption into the world. Impact: The Starfall destabilizes magical energy in the region, leading to the rise of monstrous entities and tainted magic. Local legends claim this event marked the arrival of the first cacodeems, setting the stage for future conflicts. Ebuceci becomes a nexus of magical experimentation and corruption.
The Flame of Akaris (Year ~500): Event: A wandering sorcerer discovers the Flame of Akaris, an ever-burning magical fire tied to the essence of life itself. Impact: The Flame becomes a symbol of unity, attracting tribes and kingdoms seeking its blessing. Wars erupt over control of the Flame, which mysteriously vanishes after 150 years. The teachings surrounding the Flame become a precursor to the Radiant Creed.
The Creation of the Pillars of Osaros (~490): Event: In Oris, the Pillars of Osaros are erected by the Skycallers, an order of wind sorcerers who believe they can stabilize the chaotic weather patterns caused by Veuman's influence. Impact: The pillars successfully reduce storms in surrounding regions, making Oris a hub for trade and diplomacy. Worship of the Skycallers grows, leading to the formation of Osarism, a proto-religion emphasizing harmony with nature. The construction inspires magical engineering feats in other parts of the world.
The First Binding (~350): Event: Sorcerers in Hera discover the Threads of reality and create the Binding Codex, an ancient manuscript describing how to manipulate them. Impact: The first structured use of sorcery emerges, with early experiments resulting in both miracles and disasters. The Binding Codex becomes a coveted artifact, sparking rivalries between kingdoms and magical factions. Sorcerers begin to be viewed with a mix of awe and fear, setting the stage for future conflicts.

Foreoudras Era

The Period of ?? (0000–1000)
The Founding of the Veiled Chorus (75): Event: In Veuman, a group of mystics forms the Veiled Chorus, a secretive organization dedicated to studying the Aetherial Plane and its influence on reality. Impact: The Chorus is the first to document the Threads of reality, their writings inspiring later sorcerer orders. Their secrecy makes them a target for neighboring kingdoms, leading to early purges of magical practitioners. Survivors of the purges scatter across Veuman and beyond, spreading their knowledge to new regions.
The Sandfire Pact (240): Event: The desert kingdoms of Oris and Eub form the Sandfire Pact, an alliance to fend off Veumanese incursions and stabilize their borders. Impact: The alliance fosters an exchange of culture and early magical practices, including shared rituals to tame sandstorms and protect caravans. Orisian elementalists and Euban shadow-dancers collaborate to create the Riftbreakers, elite warriors capable of closing Veumanese magical anomalies. The Sandfire Pact becomes a blueprint for future alliances, but it also provokes Veuman into launching retaliatory raids.
The Flooding of Naraveth (385): Event: A massive surge of magical water from the Naraveth Basin in Griogubul drowns entire settlements and transforms the land into a sprawling marsh. Impact: Survivors of the flood adapt to the new environment, creating the first amphibious cities and developing unique water-based magic. The Drowned Oracles, individuals who claim to commune with the spirits of the flood, emerge as spiritual leaders in the region. Legends of the flood inspire future rituals in the Abyssal Creed and cement water as a symbol of both destruction and renewal.
The Skyfall of Sakishima (475): Event: A meteor shower devastates parts of Numea, with the largest fragment striking near the Sakishima Isles. The event releases a strange energy, creating mutations in local fauna and flora. Impact: The Sakishima Isles become a hotspot for magical anomalies, drawing sorcerers and adventurers seeking to harness its power. The mutated creatures, later known as Ebonscale Beasts, spread across Numea, threatening settlements and sparking early attempts at organized defense. The meteor fragments are used to craft powerful artifacts, some of which resurface in later eras as catalysts for both progress and catastrophe.
The Frostmarch of Kl’ingats (546): Event: In northern Numea, the Kl’ingats Confederation launches a campaign to expand its territory, harnessing frost-based sorcery to overpower neighboring tribes. Impact: The campaign establishes the Confederation as a dominant power in Numea, fostering advancements in both magical and non-magical military tactics. Kl’ingats becomes a cultural hub for frost sorcery, attracting practitioners from across the continent. Their methods inspire fear and respect, but also resistance, leading to alliances among their southern neighbors.
The Emberlight Schism (611): Event: A philosophical divide emerges within the Rusikar faith between the Order of Cleansing Flame (militant purists) and the Order of Guiding Flame (peaceful reformers). Impact: The schism weakens the faith’s unity but spreads its influence to new regions as reformers seek to convert non-believers through diplomacy. The militant branch intensifies its crusades, targeting sorcerers and magical enclaves with greater zeal. This ideological divide foreshadows future religious conflicts and sets the stage for the faith’s evolution into the Radiant Creed.
The Black Tide (600): Event: A massive shadow-like tsunami engulfs parts of Ebuceci and Hera, leaving behind corrupted creatures and devastating coastal settlements. Impact: Survivors claim the Black Tide originated from Veuman, deepening fears of the continent’s mysterious power. The event spurs the creation of the first formal magical militias, tasked with defending against supernatural threats. It is later revealed that the Black Tide was caused by a failed sorcerous experiment involving the Threads, leading to mistrust of magic in affected regions.
The Songless Year (722): Event: A mysterious phenomenon silences all music and birdsong across Griogubul and Numea for an entire year. Impact: Cultural production stalls, with many attributing the silence to divine punishment or magical interference. This year sees the rise of Silent Oracles, individuals who claim to communicate with gods or spirits through the absence of sound. The event becomes a turning point for faiths in Griogubul, leading to the creation of Akaranis, the Quiet Abyss.
The Sealing of the Silver Gate (789): Event: In Veuman, a coalition of sorcerers and warriors led by Alaric the Veilwalker seals a portal known as the Silver Gate, believed to be a conduit for monstrous incursions. Impact: Alaric becomes a legendary figure, revered as a hero in Klamith and Hera. The sealing destabilizes local magic, creating strange phenomena and pockets of wild energy throughout Veuman. The event inspires the Rusikar faith to adopt the Cleansing Flame ideology, which later justifies their crusades.
Proto-Firearms (800–1200): Hand Cannons: Simple tubes loaded with black powder and projectiles. Used primarily in defensive positions, such as fortified cities or against sieges by monstrous hordes. Unwieldy and dangerous, but effective against slow or large targets. Fire Lances: Likely imported or developed through experimentation in Numea or Ebuceci. Used as close-range incendiary weapons, combining melee and explosive force.
The Crystal Bloom of Tarrava (812): Event: In Oken, a massive crystal spire emerges from the ground near Tarrava, radiating energy that enhances nearby magical abilities. Impact: The spire becomes a focal point for magical experimentation and a site of pilgrimage for sorcerers. Prolonged exposure to the spire’s energy causes strange physical and mental changes in those who linger too long, leading to both wonder and fear. The spire’s influence spreads across Oken, altering the political landscape as factions vie for control over its power.
The Veilschism (832): Event: Followers of Rusikar in Klamith and Ebuceci split over interpretations of the Eternal Flame, creating two sects: The Purifiers: Advocates of absolute eradication of magical entities and anomalies. The Shepherds: Believers in coexistence and redemption of corrupted creatures. Impact: The schism weakens the faith’s unity but strengthens its adaptability, allowing different regions to adopt practices that suit their needs. Purifiers eventually dominate political structures, while Shepherds become a marginalized but respected sect.
The Pact of Shadows (860): Event: In the shadowed forests of Veuman, a coalition of sorcerers, Báuturíí, and rogue knights form the Pact of Shadows to resist Rusikar’s crusaders. Impact: The coalition launches guerilla attacks against crusader forces, disrupting their campaigns and protecting magical enclaves. The Pact’s secrecy and tactics inspire legends of shadowy heroes, though their methods are often brutal and morally ambiguous. Internal tensions between the coalition’s factions limit their long-term success but lay the groundwork for future resistance movements.
The Rise of Rusikar (899): Event: Rusikar emerges from the mists of Veuman, claiming divine origin and rallying humanity against the monsters and magical anomalies plaguing the world. Impact: Rusikar unites scattered tribes and kingdoms in Klamith and Ebuceci under the banner of the Eternal Flame. His victories against monstrous incursions establish him as a divine warlord-king. His teachings, later compiled in The Book of Purity, emphasize conquest, order, and the eradication of magical chaos.
The Pyres of Illentid (975): Event: In Klamith, a crusader force led by the Order of Cleansing Flame burns the magical city of Illentid to the ground, killing thousands. Impact: The massacre becomes a rallying cry for sorcerers and magical beings across the continent, intensifying resistance to the crusades. Survivors of Illentid scatter, spreading their knowledge and practices to safer regions. The event is later remembered as a turning point, marking the decline of the crusaders’ influence in Klamith.
The Eternal Convocation (990): Event: The Eternal Convocation is held in the city of Silverwater, bringing together sorcerers, hemomancers, and spiritual leaders to discuss how to address the increasing hostility from the Rusikar faith. Impact: The Convocation produces the Covenant of Shadows, an agreement to protect magical knowledge and artifacts from destruction. The Covenant lays the groundwork for the formation of Sanguis Orbis Terrarum centuries later. This event is also the first time Báuturíí and sorcerers formally cooperate, bridging their respective magical practices.
Age of Rusikar (1001–1491)
Summoning of Bartholomew Yon Wauter (1001): Event: Using the Theósastrikíseikónas, a group in Veuman summon Bartholomew Yon Wauter, a powerful hemomantic entity who disrupts the balance of magic. Impact: The summoning marks a turning point in magical history, as Bartholomew’s hemomantic powers inspire awe and fear. Jolel, a Deik, is imprisoned for granting mortals the ability to read the sacred text. Hemomantic magic begins to proliferate, becoming a dominant force in Hera and beyond.
The Shattering of the Ebony Crown (1103): Event: In Eub, King Kainar of the shadow-dwelling clans attempts to unify the region using the Ebony Crown, a legendary artifact rumored to grant control over darkness itself. The crown shatters during a betrayal, releasing a wave of corruption. Impact: The shattered crown becomes the focus of quests and legends, with each fragment said to hold great power. The corruption spreads throughout Eub, creating cursed lands and driving its people into desperate alliances. The event solidifies Eub’s reputation as a land of darkness and danger, influencing how it is perceived in later eras.
Rusikar’s Crusades (1043–1271): Event: The faith of Rusikar becomes militarized, leading to a series of crusades aimed at eradicating monsters, magical threats, and rival faiths. Key Conflicts: The Siege of Silverwater (1097–1110): Crusaders attempt to destroy a Báuturíí settlement in eastern Hera but fail despite high advantage, cementing Báuturíí resistance and fostering legends of their resilience. Crusades in Ebuceci: Campaigns against corrupted regions near the Yllanov Crater lead to prolonged battles and pyrrhic victories. Crusades into Veuman: Repeated attempts to purge Veuman of its monstrous denizens lead to high casualties and only minor territorial gains. Impact: The crusades bring devastation to magical communities, including early enclaves of Báuturíí and sorcerers. They inspire a new wave of resistance movements and secret magical societies. The Crusades establish the Rusikar faith as the dominant religion in Klamith and Ebuceci, cementing its role in shaping the era’s politics. The Crusades solidify the Rusikar faith’s influence in Klamith and Ebuceci. Cultural syncretism occurs as conquered regions integrate elements of the faith into their existing traditions. The brutality of the Crusades creates a legacy of mistrust between magical practitioners and followers of the Rusikar faith. Weapon Development: Early flintlocks were introduced in the latter half of the Crusades as a response to monstrous threats in Veuman and Ebuceci. Ballistic weaponry became a key element in defending non-magical strongholds. Cultural Impact: Flintlocks were seen as both a savior and a threat. Magical elites distrusted firearms as “commoners’ weapons,” but the lower classes embraced them as tools of survival. Some religious factions attributed the creation of firearms to divine inspiration, claiming they were Rusikar’s gift to the non-magical.
The Ember Purge (1120): Event: A faction within the Rusikar faith called the Blazing Hand begins a violent campaign to root out “hidden heresies” within their own followers. Impact: Thousands are executed or exiled, weakening the faith’s overall power but solidifying its ideological purity. Exiled individuals form the Ashbound Order, a secretive group dedicated to preserving heretical texts and knowledge.
Sebastian William Wauter is Born (1187): Event: Born in Veumand, Sebastian is destined to play a pivotal role in the world’s magical history. Impact: His lineage ties him to Bartholomew Yon Wauter, granting him immense hemomantic potential. Sebastian’s early life is marked by training, conflict, and visions of his future as both a savior and destroyer.
The Rise of Flintlocks and Muskets (1200–1490): Technological Leap: The need for faster, safer, and more accurate weapons during the Rusikar Crusades led to the evolution of flintlocks and early muskets. Alchemists experimented with stabilizing gunpowder and crafting alloys for stronger barrels. Uses in Combat: Against Monsters: Flintlocks allowed soldiers to deliver critical blows from a distance, targeting weak spots or incapacitating limbs. Against Humans: As wars between nations became more frequent, firearms became a necessary equalizer for smaller armies or non-magical factions. Limitations: Reload times were long, and firearms were often inaccurate, making them secondary to melee weapons and magic. Mass adoption was slow due to cost, training requirements, and reliance on gunpowder supplies. (1271–1491) Standardization: During the Strafe, firearms became more advanced and widespread as nations realized the necessity of versatile weaponry in a world of waning magic. Engineering hubs like Sitona (Klamith) and Morgyl (Oken) emerged as leaders in firearm manufacturing. Military Evolution: Armies began integrating firearms alongside traditional weapons and Straffed individuals, creating hybrid units. Skirmishes often involved lines of musketmen supported by Straffed shock troops. Economic Changes: Gunpowder production became a major industry, leading to new trade routes and alliances. Nations with control over saltpeter and sulfur mines gained significant political leverage. 1753–1913: Firearms as Legacy Cultural Importance: Firearms are no longer just tools of war; they’ve become symbols of human ingenuity and resilience. Stories of Rusikar’s Gunsmiths and legendary weapons like the Sunflame Musket inspire future generations. Industrial Advancement: The early development of firearms during the magical eras directly leads to the industrial revolutions of the Modern Foundations Era. By 1753, firearms are widespread, ranging from muskets to early rifling designs. Shift in Warfare: Without magic, the firearm becomes the dominant weapon of choice, forcing nations to innovate further with materials like Voltris Ore and hybrid energy weapons.
The Binding of the Last Thread (1215): Event: Sorcerers in Oris conduct an ambitious ritual to weave a massive Thread that binds the fate of their region to the survival of their people. Impact: The ritual is only partially successful, granting Oris resilience against invasions but causing unpredictable weather patterns and magical phenomena. The Binding becomes a cultural touchstone, with Orisian leaders invoking it to inspire unity and perseverance.
The Harrowing of Swahaui (1256): Event: In Griogubul, the kingdom of Swahaui is overrun by cacodeems after an ambitious sorcerer’s experiment with the Threads goes awry. Impact: The Harrowing devastates the region, forcing survivors to flee to neighboring lands. The event becomes a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked magical ambition. Swahaui’s ruins later become a breeding ground for monstrous creatures, further isolating Griogubul from the rest of the world.
The Twilight Accord (1260): Event: A secret agreement is struck between Báuturíí enclaves and certain Rusikar sects to create safe zones for magical beings in exchange for military support. Impact: The Accord leads to a temporary cessation of hostilities, allowing the Báuturíí to regroup and establish stronger defenses. Critics within the Rusikar faith see the Accord as a betrayal, leading to internal conflicts.
Dissolution of the Crusades (1271): Event: With monsters believed to be largely eradicated, the government-funded Crusades are officially disbanded. Impact: The end of the Crusades marks the conclusion of the Rusikar Era and the beginning of the First Strafe Era. Many former crusaders turn to mercenary work or religious pilgrimage, spreading Rusikar’s teachings across the continents. The faith begins to evolve, with some sects emphasizing peace and enlightenment while others cling to its militaristic roots.
The Strafe Occurs (1271): Event: A celestial phenomenon known as the Strafe envelops the world, granting a small number of individuals supernatural abilities. These individuals are referred to as Straffed and are often seen as chosen by fate or cursed by the gods. Impact: The abilities granted by the Strafe are unpredictable, ranging from incredible strength to control over elements, to the mysterious power of Snoe (matter manipulation). Many nations fear the Straffed, leading to purges in conservative regions, while others see them as assets and recruit them into military and political roles. The phenomenon deepens tensions between magic users and mundane populations.
The Bloodbound Exodus (1279): Event: In Ebuceci, Báuturíí enclaves begin a mass migration to escape persecution by anti-magic zealots. Impact: The exodus leads to the establishment of fortified Báuturíí settlements in remote areas, particularly in the northern reaches of Ebuceci and Klamith. Many enclaves bring their hemomantic knowledge to new regions, spreading their influence covertly. This event sows seeds of distrust between Báuturíí and human populations, shaping future alliances and conflicts.
The Stone-Bound Accord (1280): Event: In Griogubul, the marshland kingdoms of Naree, Dylviget, and Va Adin sign the Stone-Bound Accord, pledging unity against magical beasts emerging from the jungles. Impact: The Accord leads to the creation of the Marshblade Order, an elite group of monster hunters using local alchemy and enchanted stone weapons. Griogubul becomes a center for experimental magic, as scholars seek to understand the strange mutations in the creatures they fight. The unity inspires other nations in Griogubul to collaborate, though some see the Accord as a threat to their independence.
The Scourge of the Straffed (1289): Event: A group of rogue Straffed individuals, calling themselves the Free Strand, begins a violent campaign to overthrow oppressive monarchies in Klamith and Ebuceci. Impact: The Free Strand's actions lead to widespread destruction, forcing governments to adopt stricter regulations on magic users and the Straffed. Their failure sets the stage for mistrust of Straffed individuals and inspires later rebellions.
The Shimmering Rupture (1295): Event: In Numea, an ancient leyline fractures near the city of Hashikonai, creating a magical anomaly known as the Shimmering Rupture. Impact: The rupture releases unstable energy, mutating the local environment and creating magical storms. Hashikonai becomes a center for magical research, as scholars attempt to harness or contain the rupture’s power. The region’s economy booms due to the trade of rare materials extracted from the anomaly, but political tensions rise over its control.
The Saltwater Revolt (1298): Event: In Eub, coastal fishermen in Krokhe rebel after discovering their waters are poisoned by Veumanese sorcery. Impact: The revolt escalates into a regional conflict, with Euban kingdoms sending fleets to secure the coasts. Survivors of the revolt establish the Saltward Brotherhood, a maritime order sworn to protect the seas from magical corruption. Krokhe’s population dwindles, with many fleeing to neighboring kingdoms, spreading tales of Veuman’s dark influence.
The Founding of the Arcane Monastery (1303): Event: In Oris, a group of surviving Straffed and sorcerers create the Arcane Monastery, a hidden sanctuary dedicated to studying and mastering their abilities. Impact: The Monastery becomes a center for magical innovation and a refuge for persecuted Straffed.
