Dragons roamed the surface, Kobalds and Goblins tried to scavange what they could and the Dwarves where hold up in there holds,
The general history of the continent of Troïka. It's not hidden knowledge but keep in mind most commoners won't know the entirety of world history.
Dragons roamed the surface, Kobalds and Goblins tried to scavange what they could and the Dwarves where hold up in there holds,
The dragons die out and some of the dwarves cecede chosing to go further underground into the underdark
After the Dragons went extinct stronger creatures where finaly able to thrive in the wasteland without being culled. Due to this the Orcs formed and started to gather in large tribes.
Outsiders started apearing in the wastelands, as well as forrest, from which the elves spawned. Elves and Orcs would devolop in tandem with elves creating large villages in there forrests and Orc tribes growing gathering members from all races.
The start of this age is marked by the arival of the Humans form unkown shores. As more and more humans keep ariving they rapidly start to set up settlements all acros Troïka The name of this age is wildly debated by the difrent races. Generaly it is known as the age of Humankind since there arival dominated the age. Those less favourable towards Humans call it the age of Despilment instead, arguing the humans forever changed the existing landscape of Troïka for the worse.
Conflict breaks out between the Humans and the original residents of Troïka. The Humans at the time insisted the other races share the land with them whilst the other races insist the humans have worn out there welcome and should find there own place to live. Humankind tended to avoid direct war but ignore the demands of others often leading in other races iniating the attacks. These conflicts are most prevelent in Impesta and less prevelaten in Atzul due to its generaly inhospitable nature
As soon as the second generation of Humans hybrids started to apear. These where humans with mysterious outerplane heritages like the aasimar and tieflings. These people where generally looked at with facination and seen as 'neat'.
From this point on in history, a calander was established bringing with it actual dates.
Tragodia I, a strong and charismatic Aasimar, brought together most of those living in Solstrum under one banner and declared the birth of the Tragodian Empire and his intentions to bring all of Troïka under its banner. This age would last till the reign of Tragodia V This also marked the creation of the Tragodian Calander
Through aasimilation of the Human cities in Impesta and a sustained militairy effort to subjegate the other civilizations present Impesta officialy became part of the Tragodian Empire
Maria Engelbert, renouwned explorer, found an ancient citadel hidden in the mountains in the middle of Troïka. She expaned the structure turning it into a grand monestery and created toll routes leading into and out of the mountains surounding the Monastery creating flurishing new trade routes.*
There where few humans in Atzul in contrast to the many non human tribes, villages, and cities of non-Humans who vehemently opposed the Tragodian Empire. Trough sustained great militairy force the Tragodian Empire managed to conquer Atzul. This came at the cost of great cruelty and suffering for the inhabitants of Atzul
Due to the large amount of strife in Atzul the Tragodian Empire needed a local stronghold. Thus they founded the city of Atzhold wich consisted of a large fortress surounded by a walled city.
The Demon Lord Baluga creates great rifts which demons use in order to invade the material plane. At the same time Hell mounts a full assault on Nirvana, Vahalla and Heaven. This prevents the good-aligned planes from interfering on the Material Plane. The Tragodian Empire suffers greatly but with the help of strong Humans with outsider blood they manage to hold most key strongholds in Solstrum. Impesta and Atzul get verry little to no support form the Tragodian Army and have to survive on there own.
All the dwarven holds as well as the Monavic Monestery close there doors to all and decide to simply weather the storm.
Most of Atzul is devestaded by the Demons and Atzhold is completly destroyed and turned into a cursed ruin. Altough 10 great hero's apear and save a suprising amount of cities and people with ingenious tactics and forsight.
The 10 Hero's learn of a way to close the rifts left behind by Baluga. They start closing of the rifts in Atzul without informing the rest of Troïka.
A treaty is singed between the good aligned planes and Hell preventing the good aligned planes from interfering too much with the material plane. In exchange the denizens of Hell will never be allowed to enter any of the good aligned planes.
Atlus kills Beluga after battling him for 10 days and 10 hours straight. Afterwords a Dwarf from the Monavic Monestery learns the secrets to closing the rifts and passes this knowledge on to the rest of Troïka
During the Age the Tragodian Emperors saw much combat. Sadly this ended with a lot of premature deaths and the end of the true Tragodian bloodline with Tragodia IX. After his death a distant nephew is crowned Tragodia X, now rememberd as the false Tragodia. He starts the rebuilding effort but only focouses on the Tragodian Capital and the wishes of the nobles.
The newly founded Impesta Confederacy rebels against the Tragodian Empire and Atzul apears to be ruled by the 10 hero's now calling themselfs the council of 10
The very old Tragodia X is assasinated by a minor noble who immediatly refuses to suceed him. This plunges the nations nobles in dissaray who deside to fall back on their faith in the gods, Specifically there faith in Sol, renaming the nation as the Solstrum Principality.
The Impesta Confederacy is officialy allowed to secede and Atzul is recognized as an independent territory. The following few years tensions remain but quickly subisde as the countries look to solve there internal problems left behind by the demon invasion.
The last rift in Troïka is sealed by the Solstrum Principality. Finally marking an end to the conflict against the Demons, though some stragelers still remain.
After the age of Judgment the Solstrum Principality had great dificulty in adapting there government wich had before relied greatly on the sole leadership of the Tragodian Emperors. The fledgling nations of Atzul and the Impesta Confederacy had to work trough the many dificulties of creating and sustaining a nation. Effectivly the three nations where all to preoccupied with internal matters to acomplish much else of relevance. In the eyes of those who had seen the time from before the Age of Judgment any developments made where insignificant compared to great advances made by the Tragodian Empire
With the crowning of Eltnam Cordullius, often refered to as the burning wind taking over Solstrum, many historians belive a change of the status quo is about to happen. This is further collaberated by the sweeping changes Eltnam makes upon becoming Emperor: restructuring the militairy and intergrating the noble houses into it, breaking many minor treaties of cooperation with Atzul and the Impesta confederacy, as well as allowing the worship of the goddes Conquest. Many theorise that the burning wind taking over Solstrum will blow over the entirity of Troïka. And even if its somehow stopped it will reignite the fires of conflict, forever changing Troïka.
its the current day how quriky
