History of Telamoria

  • 20000 BHC


    The Beginning
    Era beginning/end

    The Great One Created the Astral Sea and the Elemental Planes. He gave breath to the Primordials who then created the elements. The Great One then created the Old Gods. The Gods took the gift of creation from the Primordials and created the World, Kelvar and Wethril. With the creation of the Kelvar, all nature was made and with the creation of the Wethril, the mortality of this new life would be determined.   The gods also created the three beings from whom all sentient species of the material plane would derive. The first was Io, the first dragon, who could go on to create the dragons and the dragonborn. The second was Tári, from whom all of the fey races who stem. The last was Rorok, from whom, the people of earth would stem.

    The Primordial War
    Military: War

    The primordials were unhappy with the creations of Io, Tári and Rorok seeing them as order to the chaos of the world that they had created.  Io, Tári and Rorok defeneded their parents, the old godswent to war against the gods, by using the Well of the World, which the Great One created so that others could access his magic.   After Ao, Tári and Rorok used the well to seal the Primordials they used its remaining magic to create beings in their image.   The would mark the first End of an Age.

    The Great Goblin Empire
    Era beginning/end

    The first age saw many races rise and fall, including most notably the Goblin Empire which lasted almost 5,000 years. This age ended with the use of the Well of the World to end the Goblin Empire.   The Heroes of that Age used the Well to Create Orbs of power, filled with the Well’s Power, which were used by mortals to destroy the Goblin Empire and construct impressive cities.

    The Age of the Kinn
    Era beginning/end

    After the creation of the Orbs several of the races of Telamoria created an Alliance called the Kinn. These races were all slaves during the Goblin Empire and sought to create a united Kingdom.    While they were largely successful for several thousand years the power of the Orbs would attract the attention of the Chromatic Dragons and their now enslaved dragonborn. This would cause what is called the Draconic Wars which is the longest mortal War to date and lasted almost a century, with the races of the Kinn slowly falling to the great Dragons and their armies.    The humans and Moon Elves were the last to fall and they created the Helm with their orb, abandoning the plane.

    The Creation of the Helm
    Construction beginning/end

    Humanity thrived on the Helm, making technological discoveries that their ancestors could only dream of. There was peace and prosperity upon the Helm even if those tenants were balanced precariously upon the will of an Orb.

    The Rise of Mikal Telius
    Political event

    Mikal Telius was arguably the most famous man in Telamorian, at least to humans. Born to a human General, Mikal rose to lead the Helm after the death of its previous Emperor.    Mikal was born on the Helm but was one of the first humans to purposely go to the surface world. He discovered a world reclaimed by nature. Dragons ruled mighty armies of dragonborn. The other races of the Kinn were shadows of themselves, dwarves locked away in their mountain keep, halflings being used as slaves and wood elves warring for dominance of the great forest.   Mikal found himself in the company of an adventuring party and they accidently caused the destruction of the Dwarven Kingdom by taking the Kingdom's orb of power.    Mikal would find himself at odds with his party members once he took them to the Helm. Mikal wanted to supplant the Royal Family by marrying the 14 year old Empress. His companions Odgen, Barash and Fenaro opposed him but were defeated in a brief civil war.    Mikal would reshape the Helm into the Telian Empire, a unified country dedicated to reclaiming the plane under human rule.    Twenty years after the formation of the Empire there would be a great battle between the Old Draconic god and the Heroes of Old. They would vanquish the great god but not in time to save the Helm.

    The Fall of the Helm
    Disaster / Destruction

    The Fall of the Helm is often considered the foundational moment in the history of Atala. The Helm collapsed after its power orbs lost their magical potence during an apocalyptical battle between a dragon god and the Heroes of Old. The Heores ultimately defeated the God but were unable to save the Helm.   It is estimated that over 90% of the population of the Telian Empire died in this cataclysmic event and that it culturally and scientifically put the empire back thousands of years.

    The First Great Goblin Invasion
    Military: War

    The First Goblin Invasion represented the first attempt by a united Goblin and Orc Army to invade the continent of Atala since the collapse of the Goblinoid Empire.   The Great Goblin army had spent years developing a fleet that they could use to make a coordinated attack on the Telion Empire. They made landfall at Colkurk but were repelled by Martellus and Vladimir decapitating their leadership.   The disparate tribes would scatter with the Orcs banding together into the Burkhany Jad and the Goblins retreating to regroup.

    THE Second GREAT GOBLIN INVASION
    Military: War

    The Second Great Goblin Invasion was the result of almost 65 years of planning. After the failure of the first invasion, the goblinoid peoples devised a plan to invade the Northern part of Atala, North of the Broken Crown as they devised it would be difficult for Telion to mount a proper defense.    The strategy paid off with the Goblin tribes capturing all of the land north of the Crown to create their new nation. After heavy losses, the Arcsenator decided to grant the land formerly to the Goblins, which led to the creation of Gak Bashk.

    The Senator Massacre
    Political event

    All of the Senators, with the exception of Naro Dawntracker, lost their lives to Arch Senator Devon Devash.

The loss of the entire democratically elected system caused chaos for decades to come.

    The Battle of Sanctum
    Military: Battle

    The Battle for Sanctum was a pivotal moment in the political landscape of Atala. The forces of Telion, led by Arch Senator Devon Devash, delivered an unprecedented attack on the City State of Sanctum.   The Queen of Sanctum, Axe Shillelagh, called on allies from Faldur and controversially Gak Bashk. This was the first time since the formation of the nation that the forces of Gak Bashk had been south of the Broken Crown, much less fighting Telion soldiers.    The battle led to the deaths of Devon Devash and Queen Axe Shillelagh although rumours of both surviving have been prevalent. This battle soldified Sanctum as a legitmate power in the region, pulling off the most incredible military feat since the Battle for Aethos centuries earlier.
