The Savage War
Military: WarOnce a trading route was, established people started pouring into the southern kingdom via the newly built desert road. This led to the expansion of the kingdom to the west and new duchies were formed under the joint kingdom. From this sprung the first contact with the Rafkon that seemed to have inhabitated the plains of southern Callaria so far. The bloody conflict that arouse from this contact with the savage, bearlike humanoid race is most commonly known as the Southern War. It was named after the part of Callaria the war took place in. Casualities were had on either side, both the Rafkon and the human. Though in the end, the duchies of the southern kingdom stood victorious and drove the surviving Rafkon tribes west, into the Ghaba Jungle.

The Duke War
Military: WarThe young monarchy under King Eal'Birak the first was torn, when the noble houses of the Southern Kingdom revolted. In unison did they demand more say in guiding the fate of the monarchical country but most importantly did they want their own duchies within the royal borders. The king did not give into their demands and thus started what was already the second war of the southern kingdom within it's first decade of existence. After suffering heavy losses, both lives and financially, the royalists led by king Birak the first surrendered each noble their own sovereign territory and appointed each as duke or duchess. Henceforth the southern kingdom were divided among the seven high houses of the south.

Artisinal Revolution in Anul Nova
RevolutionWhile the Duke War was ongoing, the merchants and artisans of Anul Nova were inspired by the revolutionary flame of the people in the south. One by one they made their voices heard. The demands to the church and ruling archpriest were clear: Fairer taxation of their work and most importantly the opportunities to found guilds to organize work between themselves and without the intervention of church officials. While the church eventually somewhat gave into the demands, many of the best artisans and most prolific merchants of the time had already left Anul Nova in search of a better life.

Constuction of the Ironside
Construction beginning/endAfter X proposed their plan for a more modern form of both conducting trade with Anul Nova and getting ressources to and from Kivari and Hakur, the works of building a railway system quickly began. Ironside was what the project and later the mechanical train itself was called. Construction took more than a decade and was met with huge scepticism from Anul Nova and parts of the merchant's guild. Worries were that the new form of transportation would put the companies out of work, that specialised in the now older forms of transportation.
