Feodrian History
The history of the continent of Feodris.
Pre-History
... 50001 PE
The earliest verified, dated historical evidence is roughly 50,000 cycles old. Prior to that is mere speculation, though historians and other scholars find the reference of arbitrary pre-historical dates useful in their research papers.
Pre-Ounghui
50000 PE 0 PE
Much is unknown about this period of time. Some clans and societies have legends and myths that stretch back tens of thousands of cycles prior to the First Ounghui, but these are often confusing or contradictory and physical artifacts are vanishingly rare. Of the few available relics, many are counterfeit or of questionable origin.

The Forgeplauge
Life, Failure / MishapForgelord Morlun Onyxcarver attempts to craft a mythic waraxe, Timecleaver. In doing so, he unleashes a virulent magical spell that proves fatal to all who contract it. Onyxcarver is the first to succumb to the effects. The spell is named forgeplauge and it infects over 95% of the Shapers Guild (dwarven forge workers) before the elven wizard Tanila Birra is able to neutralize it. Tanila is honored by the dwarves for her triumph and paves the way for a period of unprecedented cooperation and peace between the elven and dwarven kingdoms that lasts until The Godchild Wars.

The Battle of Sheldeen Pass
Military: BattleTromri Brewfall is ambushed en route to a ceasefire negotiation. Brewfall is captured and his retinue slaughtered, and is kept in an elvish prison for 15 cycles as insurance against future aggression. Pockets of fighting continue through Vourdan-120, but as dwarven tradition does not allow for a Godchild of the Mountain to assume the mantle as long as the existing Godchild lives, the dwarf kingdom is leaderless and eventually the Council of Hammers declares an end to the war. Brewfall remains in captivity, and tensions remain high as the Council is unable to negotiate his release.
