Foreonit Era

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.

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.

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.

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.
