The alleged date of Taopin leaving 2 human survivors (Andi and Hugur) after he eradicated the humans under Ornjack and Bailum's protection.
Dögun is the era of no written word. Little evidence remains of Laminarum from this time, aside from "sculptures" and natural landmarks. Also called the "Era of Interference" it is believed to be a time when gods roamed the world in mortal forms, sculpting the world as they traveled its flat plane. Different religions believe different versions of this sculpting, but most agree that Dögun was reserved for the gods. In the later years of the era, scholars believe elementals were created. Each being made of a singular, pure matter and unsullied by imperfections. These elementals carried out the will of the gods when they took their rest. Elemental Theory has become the most common prehistorical perspective, as the overwhelming evidence in the form of oceans, volcanoes, and skies make it irrefutable.
This is the first era of written history, though it is not as well defined as the post Yunbad era. The defining terms of this era are different for each culture, however the most common trait is the confirmation of constructs and mortals existing across Laminarum at the same time. Important events of this history include the first formation of the three J'barri prides, the beginning of the Yunbad stone age, and the havoc of the Hailen Ryr. This era was one dominated by human activity and spread to different lands.
The approximate date that the first ever human structure (and perhaps the first structure ever) was built.
The approximate date when humans began expanding throughout the entirety of the Snow Rock Isles.

The war declared by Warren III after claiming the title of baron and contesting the rule of Abbot I.
The declaration of Narfi Whitefinger's new "Moral Charter," which would go on to dictate law, punishment, and the status quo of humans for decades to come. While odd in many ways, it established several customs in the modern era, such as marriage.
The massive expansion of the human pantheon, which had been monotheistic for all intents and purposes.
The marriage between Anise Helgaard and Kanel Logratte. This marriage was used to unite their respective families, supporters, and resources.

The brutal war waged between the Snow Rocks, Strand-Bloods, and natives of the newly discovered Drulluvatn (known natively as Mot D'nir). This war would go on for over a decade and would be the onset of humanity gaining a foothold in the "new world." For a more detailed look at the war, view the conflict's timeline:
The Strand-Blood Cult's settlement of Drulluvatn (modern-day Mot D'nir). They were unaware of the existence of other sentient races in the region, such as the Naga-Tel and Tara-Jhen.
Abbot II's first exploration into the dense marshes outside of Drulluvatn's shores. Most of the 15 individuals accompanying her would die before returning to the shores.
The period in which Strand-Bloods learn how to survive Drulluvatn (called Mot D'nir by the locals) from the Tara-Jhen, as well as cultural exchange between the groups.
The settling of the storms between the Snow Rock Isles and the mainland continents, believed to have been caused by Bailum fighting Ithitar from beyond Ornjack's web.
The settlement of the Saltkrigere warriors at Shellbay and the subsequent slaughter of the native Kaban tortoise-folk.
Having their home and family taken from them, the Strand-Bloods began working up political alliances with the largest of the Naga-Tel tribes, even going as far as to share Jurejun tree spores for growth.
The awakening of the Kaban ocean deity, "Korahaman," in response to its people's slaughter by the Saltkrigere.
The arrival of several Snow-Rock ships filled with women, children, servants, and other laypersons.
The vision granted to Haas Thinil from Chal Churdour, which would subsequently lead to recognition of the being by the Naga-Tel.
The expansion of Haas Thinil's garden of Chal Churdour's trees after the revelation he provided.
The beginning of the Saltkrigere expeditions to find substantially habitable territory, more incredible fauna (such as the Kaban), and most importantly to find the Strand-Bloods.
The construction of the Shellbay longhouse from the shell of the deceased Korahaman.
The first meeting between the Saltkrigere ground troops and the Tara-Jhen, which would soon become an alliance.
The first sightings of the Kaban by the Saltkrigere pioneers after their initial conflict.
The short lived spiritual disaster amongst the Tara-Jhen of Thiff, brought on by their Naga-Tel guests.
The period in which the Tara-Jhen destroyed the roots that had spread at Bito Ri and beyond, which was eventually passed on to be performed by Kaban slaves.
The execution of the remaining Strand-Bloods and Haas Thinill. Also the beginning of political ties between the people of Thiff and Shellbay.
The period in which the Tara-Jhen and humans began to wind down after a long period of war and tensions, marked by its vast constructions, explorations, and repositioning of the human military.
The creating of a small Kaban outpost, intended to stop the hardships for the Kaban. They were assisted by the Thanid race, themselves disgraced in the hardships of Mot D'nir.
The beginning of the Quai's growth within the territory of the exiled Thanid people and their new neighboring village, Rodaka.
The swift attack against the Thanids by the Tara-Jhen, followed by the Quai changing its allegiance to the Kaban.
The discovery of the Kaban by the Thanid spies, followed by their elimination and enslavement by the Tara-Jhen.
The return of the Quai to the Tara-Jhen, after which the Kaban slaves were immediately put to work on digging the trees of Chal Churdour in Bito Ri.
The disappearance and presumed death of Ettaji, Gidofem of Bito Ri, as well as the crew that followed him.
The death of Kanel Logratte as a result of old age and falling ill. His death was swift and peaceful. His rule would be followed by his wife, Anise Helgaard, who would die ten years later.
The death of Hamish Troutlung, also called Hamish "the Negotiator," at the bitter age of 96. His death would result in an explosion for human expansion. Ironically, he died at the same age as Kanel Logratte, his greatest political opponent.
A year of famine and tragedy brought upon the Yunbad, pushing them towards drastic survival actions.
Hawumad was always on the edge of the Yunbad world, but unreachable. A singular priest of the god Denpa, named "Heime," was the only individual able to hear the blessings that the god sent to save them from their damnation. Denpa told Heime that the Yunbad had to travel to Hawumad to save their people. Supposedly, he would form a bridge to the distant plateau for safe passage. Many had believed that Hawumad was the seat of Denpa, and this message reinforced it. The bridge miraculously formed and a dispatch traveled down the mountains, over the dangerous delta, and to Hawumad. The specifics of what was found are poorly recorded, but this is well known to be the first time a mortal wielded magic. This would change the course of history, not only for the Yunbad but for the world. This magic helped them with food shortages and is regarded as the end of the Dagur era.
Dagur is an era defined by conflict and the eruption of mortally-wielded magic. The birth of Dagur came with the Yunbad returning from Hawumad. within this era, the elves made first contact with the J'barri, metallurgy began, and the Yunbad-J'barri conflict waged destruction across the continent of Belenad. Great conflicts for humanity mean that few new sources were recorded, and this was an era of lost knowledge for them. Luckily, the most famous legends of the prior era were well told and remembered.
The foundation of the central theocratic body, which stood until the extinction of the Yunbad.
The formation of Astania and beginning of the Astani family after the Longwoods claimed the land that Hamish Troutlung had long promised them. Astania, in the future, would become Eldurgrund.
The series of battles between an Elvish-occupied Renad-Pai and mainland J'barri warriors.
The official recognition and naming of Fjordstrond after much expedition in the Icelends.
First meeting between humans and J'barri at Renad, introduction of a human god to the J'barri.
The mass destruction of a Snow Rock fleet going towards Shellbay by new megafauna in the Orphi Gap.
The promise of marriage between Namen's children and Shellbay officials after seeing various threats on the horizon.
After Namen's children married officials of Shellbay and their children grew to be friends with the Baron's son, a bond between the Logratte family and the Baron of Shellbay ensured that their clutches would finally grow on Trinen.
The alliance formed between the "savage folk" of Astania and the scholars of Fjordstrond after a realization of their connected bloodlines.

The removal and execution of any members of the Logratte family within the Snow-Rock Isles during the war against the mainland.
The outbreak of war and assertion of control between the Snow-Rocks (aligned with Shellbay) and the Barondom of Fjordstrond.
The founding of Caripreet after extensive discrimination from the rulers of Astania.
The period in which many individuals of Caripreet would grow into pirating careers and steal magically inclined items from the j'barri.
As Gomma and his supporters meditated in their temple, j'barri warriors were slaying Yunbad defenders outside. When the assailants began beating down the temple door, the floor began to rumble. The wind became cold and strong. Dust and ash started flowing like water in a river. Viewers from the distance said that they saw the caps of the mountains rise upward before turning and collapsing upon the bases. It looked as if the mountains were folding. The j'barri in the mines, including Nil Hra, were crushed. Those who were lucky fell to their deaths. At best, there were 3 or 4 (alleged) survivors on the mountain range itself. During this time, the fires of Hawumad went dark. Onlookers of the disaster said they saw an entity rise from the clouds of dirt shrouding the destroyed mountains. They say it looked as if a "giant draped in sheets, dust, and ash emerged from the clouds. At least the size of the mountains themselves. I had a hand reaching from its chest and the shape of a man." Then, its shape fell back into the dust, disappearing. This caused the complete extinction of the Yunbad race, along with the loss of their culture and history. Black dust and debris fell from the mountains in the waters of Brillé, poisoning the lake for 80 years. Any Yunbad that may have survived would not have been able to show their faces in Kala or Brillé after this. Legends about this event are still created to this day. Some believe that the giant "being" that showed from the mountains was Hod. Some think it was J'bar in a different form. Some think it to be a god unaccounted for. Most believe that whatever this being is was responsible for causing this war and impersonating Riiji/Denpa. Others think that two separate beings did the impersonation. More grounded scholars claim that the 'gods' were just an easy excuse for the greed and bloodlust of the rulers. The alleged being of the mountains is simply called the "Being Unknown" or "The Impersonator."
The return of constructs to Western Silse and their interference with the Western Elves

The formation of Gerron's secret independent government by Uliyo and his co conspirators in response to Riyael's insubstantial support.
The razing of Astania after a long period of sieging. This resulted in the complete destruction of the city and her territories.
The push of the constructs beyond the mainland of Silse and onto Silse's Cendre and Veiel Ard Besme.
The meeting between the leaders of the Western, Southern, and Eastern Elf kingdoms in which they all stated their nonaggression to each other for the foreseeable future. This would be the first and only formal meeting between the kings of the great Elvish Kingdoms at the same time.
The declaration by Uliyo Feneyl and his personal council to build the city of Ilobel.
The rise of Western Elf nationalism, exceptionalism, and isolation. This would shape much of how the Western Elves view themselves today.
The beginning of the total destruction of the Silse constructs. During this period, the Elves would come to discover the waning rocks, meet the moonfolk, and complete their goal of killing the constructs.
The first meeting between the Elves and the strange, cave-dwelling "Moonfolk" that would eventually leave Veiel Ard Besme before falling into obscurity.
The completed construction of Ilobel by the J'barri slaves. Most of the slaves would die in the process, though their work is considered foundational to the modern engineering of the city.
The death of Uliyo Feneyl which would cast a dark shadow on the kingdom. He would be replaced by his son, Levrin Feneyl.
The first battle in Levrin Feneyl's escapade of superiority and ownership over the people of Renad.
The long period of destruction and damage in Ilobel brought on by unrelenting storms.
The full construction of the Waning Keep, which still stands undestroyed to this day.

The migration of Kadelkonatl around the marsh, inspiring revolution from the Kaban and spreading the Marsh Orc population.
The pledging of support to the Eastern Elves by Fjordstrond, Shellbay, Jerborg, and consideration by the Snow-Rock Isles.
The joining of Four major powers with promises of fulfilling each other's interests and protecting one another as the paranoia of war was reaching its peak.
The meeting in which Vhou discussed the alliance of the Western Pillars, and that everyone should be ready for war.
The failed attempt on Eyiliv Feneyl by a Saltkrigere spy during his stay in Caripreet. The failure would be the smoking gun of the The War of Eyiliv, which would carry the greatest death toll of any conflict in Laminarum's history, even compared to the Mountainfold.
The disastrous war saw the greatest death toll of any conflict to date. Now seen as an unfortunate event that could have been avoided, it appears to have occurred for little reason at all. Paranoia and avaricious desire saw races of man, elves, and even divine beings throw their hats into the ring of fire. It is attributed to Eyiliv and resulted in the great Western Elf stigma today, but they were hardly the only ones to blame. The war saw the extinction of the Ocean Pride once and for all, the abandoning of humans by Vestergil, the "death" of Kadelkonatl, the diaspora of Marsh Orcs, the returning of the Quai to the Tara-Jhen, the betrayal of Gullivegur and Caripreet, and the push to the isolation of the Western Elves. When the war ended, the Kaban returned to brutal subjugation under the Tara-Jhen and the Naga-Tel grew estranged for their actions against the Tara-Jhen. Religion and tradition would become more reinforced by humans, as they saw Milin Orphi as the cause behind the madness.
Ettermiddag is an era defined by its hardships and struggle for survival. Disease ravaged both Silse and Trinen, the growth of the fascist Tara-Jhen government known as the "Kraken Mur," the worship of devils became a massive movement, and the seeds of Renad's economic downfall were sewed. During this era, as much as 90% of the global population fell to war, starvation, and disease. However, its also defined by preparation and the ability to fight against those forces. Eldurgrund forged the order of the Eldur Knights, Shellbay formed an order of Ofjuren Paladins, Nim managed to unite all of Tsaoin, and the threat of the Western Elves went silent.
The collapse of humanity's control over territory as a result of the Starfall Rupture.
The winters as a result of Verivem's Comet reaching the nearest countries to Trinen.
The movement of Warlords across Trinen's lands, conquering towns and establishing new territories.
The creation of the Cult of Verivem, which resided in the destroyed forest that the comet first crashed in.
The striking of a great tidal wave, later named "Eisol's Wrath," on the Backhand and Mot D'nir, which greatly changed the geography of both regions.
The Paranoia resulting from Esha's Crusade Plea, dragging Kala into a dark age of fascism and martial law for years to come.
The takeover of the Council of Kala by Ineva Kataqr, who strived to douse the flames of the Plea Paranoia.
The long-awaited and only recorded eruption of Renad-pai. While its physical effects paled in comparison to that of Taktaalak, its social and economic impacts are still felt today, even as it happened in a time of Renadi isolation.
The formation of the elite organization of knights by the government of Eldurgrund, which still exists today (in an honorary capacity).

The alliance between Epithet and Eldurgrund that saw the near total destruction of the Cult of Verivem.
The landing of Onothis, the Mountain and Eshiren, the Waterblight in the lands of Silse to provide assistance for the Elves.
The reformation of the Council of Kala following the death of Ineva Kataqr. The council would be formed from her children, based on financial inheritance.
The fall of epithet from Ohdaufehl to Aufalten. The direct cause of his fall is unknown, but it reached its pinnacle in his abandonment of Euvurcrest, the city that he had built.
The summoning of the Icelend Dwarves by Vestergil. While they were intended to assist the good people of Trinen against the new plight of Milin Orphi and Epithet, many of them betrayed their new cause to join the raiders.
The war waged by Epithet, the Fleet and the The Ettermiddag Raider Factions against Eldurgrund and the Icelend Dwarves.
The Arrival of Erengel, the Light (to become Erengel, the Darklight) in Mot D'nir, in order to help guide and protect the remaining population of Mot D'nir, and to help them spread their reach once more.
The first attempt of Roja to reclaim the buried Renad-Pai. While efforts were troublesome and slow, the land would eventually be uncovered thanks to the help of Ghattadon, the Gentle.
The arrival of Mulatar, the Spring in Silse. His goal was to gather the dwindling Nukin people and provide a community to ensure their survival, within the forests under the kingdom of Bourilia.
The arrival of Ghattadon, the Gentle in Renad. While his intention was to rekindle the flame of J'barri pride that had mostly been lost throughout their history, he would spend most of his time ensuring that their civilization could continue existing at all.
The fall of Ghattadon after he abandoned the J'barri people. While he initially desired to bring about a new age of glory and life for the three cities, he spent thirty years realizing that they were set in their ways. He lost his patience, taking to see the world rather than help it.
The fall of Erengel, the Darklight from unknown causes. While he once guided individuals through Mot D'nir and the Orphi Gap and waded away the monsters within them, he would now draw people away from their destination and his light brought on corruption from beneath the waters.
The Eruption of Taktaalak, the central volcano of Kazbur that resulted in the continent splitting, as well as the uncovering of an underground sea.
The first sighting of the gnomes in Silse, after Vhou Riyael attempted to build a port village in the newly risen Britmail Forest.
The first legends of minotaurs, centaurs, and satyrs appear. While many believe that the Astanias had a hand in cruel breeding rituals, it is here that the general populace believes that the Threadweaver Family performed evil witchcraft, to make them a permanent disease in Laminarum.
The unfortunate fall of Eshiren, the Waterblight, for unknown reasons. She would go on to nearly destroy the coastal towns of Silse by leaving a viscous poison in their waters. With their food poisoned and land tainted, the elves retreated and the gnomes fled in all directions.
The merging of the nukin tribes with the roaming gnomes, after years of traveling to find a new home.
The first appearance of dragonborn in Laminarum, as created by Ghattadon, the Gentle and Epithet, the Fleet in preparation for a coming war.
The movement of Ghattadons Coven into Fjordstrond, hoping to find Vestergil for unknown purposes.
The Southern Elves make an attempt on Mulatar's life, under the new allegiance to Fíkn Catar.
The gathering of the Marsh Orcs in a larger community that would settle in the Northlends. Their territory would not be legitimized for centuries to come but the orcs would make their borders known to any that crossed within.
The formation of an organization known as the Bailum Consilium, which sought to ensure that the ideals of the Shellbay Barony could be the homogenous, unalienable beliefs of any land under their territory.
The horrific tragedy and mass killing within the major urban and rural centers of Bourilia, forcing several royals to flee and hide within Fort Haerehel throughout a siege.
The reclamation of Morie You by the soldiers of Fort Haerehel and the valiant allies at Fort Feneyl.
This 30 year period served as the closing of Ettermiddag. After centuries of pain and suffering, the world finally began to recover. Drastic weather events concluded, plague and famine receded, and the raiders were forced into the Icelends. The elves managed to get a grip on their economy while reaching back out to Renad for trade. Global temperatures began to slowly rise and the fallen Ohdaufehl and Aufalten began to fade into history.
In the face of the daybreak revival and a decrease in disease, extreme weather phenomena, and social unrest, Kala would reconnect with its elvish cousins across the sea.
Daggry was a period that bore the fruits of the Daybreak Revival. The population of Laminarum began to climb once more as the world was plunged into a new era of unbound discovery and science. Humanity would be the only group to miss out on most of this development, as they turned their attention to the new promises of empire.
The one-sided merging between Shellbay and Fjordstrond beneath one banner. The Saltkrigere would grow its ranks and spread between both cities, protecting both but ultimately remaining loyal to their ancestors.
The formation of the Elvish Monadnock Symposium: an organization dedicated to the discussion of spiritual, scientific, political, and social topics. With members ranging from east to west, their annual semi-annual formal meetings were held at a lodging under a single mountain between Mailes and Ghei Wyl.
The discovery of the Urrfolk on the island within the Fingerless Gulf. The humans that lived off the coast would quickly establish a hunting lodge intended for "big game hunting."
The migration of several dwarf clans to the mountains of Bourilia, where they would be ousted shortly after.
The short-lived trade deals between Caripreet and Kala, which would be cut short by the eventual occupation by Eldurgrund.

The Eldurstery investigation into the inhabitants of Urr Island, wishing to prove the sapience of the natives.
The outbreak of war in the merchant nation of Kala, which was ironically waged over disputes of trade and the overuse of military force.
The formal banning and removal of dark elves across the Kingdom of Urale at the order of Ulitol Feneyl.
The gradual decline of the Monadnock Symposium thanks to tensions brought on by the western elves. Due to a combination of racial complexities, refusal to relocate the location of the meetings, and refusal to allow aid for those who could not arrive, the organization would fall into obscurity.
The Fear was a phenomenon identified mostly in the lower class of Fjordstrond and Eldurgrund as the mainland Urrfolk began to encroach on human territory.
The first meeting of the Ourithanur Collective, which formed from the refuse of and fringe fragments of the Monadnock Symposium. Their creation would launch the national recognition of eugenics as a tragedy in the River Kingdom of Nim.
The Rembrandtic Wars (named for the Saltkrigere General at the time) were a three wave conflict between the young Eldurgrund and Saltkrigere Empires. The conflict drew upon citizens in every corner of Trinen as both sides prepared for a war of unstoppable forces. Leaders of every major city turned to plans that prior generations had thought inconceivable (such as enlisting Urrfolk in the military) in hopes of proving their worth and turning the tides. As ideas bent from creative to dangerous, the conflict became a war between past mistakes and self destruction. Aside from notable instances of self sabotage, the war was won by strategy and numbers. While the Eldur Knights outnumbered the Saltkrigere Paladins by a factor of 5, it was the number of skilled soldiers that turned the tides in Shellbay's favor. The three decades saw the seeds of the modern day Augury planted, but before it could rise, the new Saltkrigere Empire would have to fall. To read more on the Rembrandtic Wars, use the following link:
The offer of aid to the Eldurgrund Empire from the Oligarchy of Kala: a surprising decision, given historical conflicts.
The long overdue reparations given to the Dark Elves by Vhou Riyael. Along with these reparations, Vhou would create the Edict of Silse, the first official document amongst the elves that stated the rights guaranteed to every citizen of Nim. Further, it would discuss the rights guaranteed to outsiders that lacked formal citizenship.
The declaration of Shellbay to outlaw the hunting of any Urrfolk that assisted them in the war against Eldurgrund.
The domestication of the 9-11ft tall Elephant Birds of Renad, marking the first recorded and intentional domestication effort in Renadi history.
The first formal trade agreement between the elves and humans after Ettermiddag, following an unprecedented population boom in Bourilia which resulted in the need of more financial avenues.
The death of Emperor Eshe Johanna Zahra Evasdotter as a result of opium overdose.
Kala Offers financial aid to those who had abandoned the Monadnock Symposium, claiming that the devotion to democracy inspired J'barri of all backgrounds.
The attempt of Nim to reconnect with the J'barri of Kala after past conflict regarding the drastic actions of Ineva Kataqr.
The rise of a new Pride Leader over Kala, who would ascend on a hereditary basis, just as they had in the past. The decision was a controversial one, as the Oligarchy was only steps away from a democracy at the time. Regardless, the role would be relegated to one of foreign relations. Why they shifted to a hereditary ascension is unknown, with some arguing that it would help create a stronger Kalan identity.
The death of emperor Sahra Abdul III during his venture to Caripreet villages to explain his new wave of legislation. His traveling scribes state that his heart stopped from the stress of interaction with the rowdy and belligerent locals during his decade of travels.
The death of Emperor Sahra Abdul IV at the hands of starvation. Though caught in a nationwide famine at the time, his death would come form enlightened fasting, in hopes of understanding the "plight of the people."
The broad sweeping artistic revolution in Renad which was natively called the "Elthrata Arit." This burst of creation in the realm was brought on by a burst of immigration from Poueiri El-folk, alongside a decrease in taxation in art markets.
The nationally recognized promotion of Vhou Riyael onto the Council of Kala, making him the only elf to hold a substantial political position within two separate nations.
The death of Emperor Avernus "Köttur" Sandhar during an earthquake that toppled his throne room.
The rise of the Augury would shape Laminarum until the modern era, where it still stands and acts as the authority over all of Trinen. The revolution against the Saltkrigere Empire would start small, instating new rulers into the government while assassinating anyone in the city that would disagree. Word would travel to Shellbay while Saint's Maar geared up with both Fjordstrond and Eldurgrund to topple the legendary Saltkrigere fleets and armies. Saint's Maar eventually won, though Eldurgrund would ultimately fold, given their already shaky relations to both sides of the war. the Bailum Consilium was forced back into the borders of their native barony and the castle would eventually be captured, though many Saltkrigere and influential politicians managed to escape to the Snow Rock Isles. The war was a massive success, and allowed the Augury to grow. Shellbay would see its owners shift to a moderate family that would support an equal empire as well as assist Saint's Maar with their own military. Relations would slowly begin mending over the years, allowing Shellbay to gain its status as a separatist state, with special exemptions to their religion, culture, and taxes. They would be allowed to maintain the Saltkrigere as well, given the organizations roots in history and culture. Eldurgrund would continue with the status it had gained under the Saltkrigere Empire, with their military being suppressed. However, with time, they were allowed to once more use the title of Eldur Knight, but only 8 could hold the position at once.
Ghei Wyl and Kala fund Saltkrigere efforts in hopes of securing future safety from Caripreet and Eldurgrund.
The official shift from the Saltkrigere Empire to the Augury, replacing the court with a senate, the council with consuls, and the emperor with 3 augurs.
The infiltration of Shellbay by Augury military forces. Their stay in the city was presented under the guise of a survey mission until the three renegade families in question were slain (after sufficient evidence was found). The event would serve as proof of the powers the Augurs could wield, reinforcing the ruling family's devotion to their empire.
The investigation of Vestergil by the Augury in order to determine if he was a threat to the new government. The investigation culminated in a conversation with the Ohdaufehl, which led to revelations regarding the Aufalten across the land.
The formation of the Griarvarsi, an organization built specifically for the purpose of hunting Aufalten.
The beginning of the Augury's hunt for the Aufalten after years of training their new Griarvarsi, which ended in tragedy.
The funding of the political nightmare settlement known as Buoy. While its early days promised increased naval capabilities for the kindgom, its rapid decline would create the pirate hub we know today.
The establishment of programs to "protect" exceptional Urr that assisted Fjordstrond with various labor-intensive tasks.
The first time that Brille would open its walls to immigrants, though the window of opportunity would close only 4 years after opening. What compelled the nation to allow outsiders within its borders is unknown, though most were kept at quite a distance from the inner machination of the nation, as they became farmers and tradesmen outside of Tirni.
The construction of the Saint Roads, which connect Saint's Maar to surrounding points of import. The Augury would first build a road to Euvurcrest, followed by Fjordstrond, and lastly Gullivegur. The road to Caripreet would be a joint effort between Eldurgrund and Caripreet after it was eventually assimilated in later years.
The official creation of the title of "Saint," which was awarded to individuals of past and present that had done great deeds in the name of humanity under the guidance of the Ohdaufeen. Perhaps more importantly, it was this year that saw the Augurs officialize Taopinism as the core religion of the Augury, including most of the religion as we see it today.
The assimilation of Caripreet into the Augury after it had claimed independence during the collapse of the Saltkrigere Empire.
Urale's civil war fought between Olitar and Nevityra Feneyl for the Waning Keep. The war would be pivotal in creating the modern political landscape of the west, pitting the kingdom against its dark past of Ulitolean ideals.
The allowance of Icelend Dwarves to become citizens under the Augury, as well as the offer of financial opportunity in the mountains across the Trinen-Mot D'nir border.
After the long rumored construction and abandonment of the artificial island known as Buoy, the Augury and Nim work together to deterine the validity of this structures presence and abandonment.
The prevention of a great plague thanks to visions by the Augurs. They would send their Griarvarsi down to a farm, southwest of Saint's Maar. A sick man was slain on his farm, along with his potentially infected swine. The Augurs stated that the plague would have been akin to a modern Fish Egg Flu, with a similar death toll.
The forceful takeover of Gullivegur by the Augury, years after they had slowed their campaign to investigate their visions regarding Mot D'nir. Having become overgrown by the marsh once more, the invasion took years longer than anticipated. Subterfuge would also play a role in the delay, perhaps costing more deaths in the process.
The ban of Waning Rock by Bourilia after an increase in smuggling efforts. While criminal activity had been largely ignored before, the public health concerns brought on by Waning Rock would see a wave of reform in Morie You, though not within other settlements of the kingdom.
The complete restructuring of Kala's port and lower-class districts, allowing for quicker military mobilization and decreasing the veracity of revolutionary tactics.
The revolution at Jerborg thrown by Ongar Stone-Grower that would serve to remove the domineering Duke and create the short lived settlement of Augur's End until its fall during the Silence.
Nim opens its voluntary citizenship to all species of Laminarum, now including orcs, the reptilians and dwarves. While outsiders aside from the J'barri were feared for their potential to exploit the unique nature of Silse, the land had long proved itself resilient.
The creation of the Greylend Pact to cease conflict between orcs, lords, and the barony of Eldurgrund. While the "independent" territory surrounding the orc settlement of Orovical still stands to this day, the preference for the orcs in this conflict would plant the seeds of the eventual revolt against the Augury in the years following the Silence.
The Silence is regarded as the most influential cultural crises with regard to the present day. The event would confirm the visions seen by the Augurs regarding the marsh, as Arniel Kane, an extant Thanid returned from his people's banishment to the southern oceans in order to reclaim what he believed was the birthright of his people. Sprung by the catastrophic assassination of all three Augurs by their own Griars, the following cascade saw the very foundations of the Augury shake. With only one consul remaining (after Krill's murder of the second), the senate began to claim that the empire would fall into the ways of the Saltkrigere Empire, with one emperor taking absolute control. Internal conflict would grow as they shut down all exports from Trinen and searched incoming activity. Internal strife meant that the government and military were weakened, with several revolts and attempts at supplementing leadership took place. Between the chaos, it was believed that the threat had come from the marsh, prompting the military to reach out to their territories and increasing control over Jadethorn, sending Nostula Turases to serve as warden after he volunteered. Among the chaos, a group often referred to as "the Company" found themselves forming within the marsh, as they managed to avoid extreme suspicion and criminal charges in Augur's End while also having no way to return home due to the border closures. Showing their capability to the city's head of guard, known as Caius Warrick, they would be utilized by Ongar Stone-Grower to investigate matters within the marsh regarding anomalies of the Quai. As the investigation took them to the prison of Jadethorn, a criminal entrepreneur by the name of Remr Taft, and a hermit's cabin in the woods, the conflict regarding the Quai and the Augury proved to be one in the same. Escalation saw the Tara-Jhen lose their connection to the Quai for the first time in a millennia, crippling the culture of Mot D'nir and the economy of Trinen. As matters only grew worse, Nostula Turases would use his resources and newfound trust to assimilate new regions of the marsh, using his nephew (and member of the company), Efan Turases, as a spearhead for this change. The other members fought against this pursuit while growing their own ties into Augur's End that still impacts Laminarum to this day (such as Sazhar's "Artificer Guild"). The conflict would culminate in the blackmail of Ongar Stone-Grower by Arniel and the perversion of the Quai, bringing a mass of land from the Realm of the Quai known as the "Composer" into Laminarum, spreading the Quai from beneath the floating object and turning any biological organism into an aberrant monster in its wake. The Composer was eventually lowered by the Company, resting in Taopin's well in order to reduce casualties. Due to his unfortunate circumstances, Ongar Stone Grower would be executed and replaced by Efan Turases. The city of Augur's End would become the city of Newmot, as the Augury returned to its goals of assimilating the marsh once more in order to prevent catastrophe in the future.
The Kaban's first fully successful revolution, freeing themselves from the Tara-Jhen and slavery for the first time since their arrival in the marsh, long before Ettermiddag.
Namiddag is the current era of Laminarum. After nearly a millennia of recovery from Ettermiddag and the new strike into Mot D'nir during the silence, the world try to find security in globalization, just as the legends prior to the dark ages had told. While these efforts would remain peaceful for many (and for all, for a short while), the motivations of empire would soon overtake these peaceful communications for humanity. After a time of struggle to take the marsh and Kazbur, as well as initial attempts to encroach on Silse, the Augury would eventually lessen its attempts at growth, seeking to strengthen the communities it had already gained, though much of the slowing only occurred due to the loss of the Augury's "golden age" frontiersmen. As the world has grown to seek peace and knowledge, international travel has seen a marked increase. Scholarly institutions are thriving more than ever and opportunity to seek whatever ends one may want have increased with the rise of guilds.
The Kaban's first fully successful revolution, freeing themselves from the Tara-Jhen and slavery for the first time since their arrival in the marsh, long before Ettermiddag.
The war waged by Eldurgrund in an attempt to sack Saint's Maar. While the attackers had powerful forces and even greater confidence, they would be forced back to their homeland where they were sieged by General Nostula Turases and his Saltkrigere forces.
The formal banning of Aritificery within Kala after the ancient art's revival at the hands of Sazhar's Articer Guild.
Poueir declares independence from Nim, putting Vhou Riyael's anarchic philosophy to its first test.
The 3 separate campaigns waged by the Caripreet to take the east coast of Silse. All attempts would fail.
The formal recognition of Kaban independence by all of Mot D'nir and the Augury, along with a reparation program established in Saint's Maar.
The fall of the long-standing Islands Five which oversaw the Snow Rock Isles. The organization reached as far into history as when the islands were the only lands to cradle humanity. After disastrous famine, poor leadership, and refusal to adapt in the face of the Augury, the citizens of the isles decided it was time to bend or break.
