Teutonia Timeline

First Churches of Sythis are present in Teutonia, followed by the Churches of Bane and Mortis

Tensions rise between the worshippers of Sythis, Bane and Mortis, resulting in the start of the Holy War.

The Trinity, Sythis, Mortis & Bane, created the Shrine of the Gods and present it to the people.
The Teutonian Army remains undefeated while they have the Shrine in their presence. The Nation grows strong and proud.

Teutonia is struck by a great famine and disease ravages the land. The priesthood of Mortis (known as the Leichenhallen) propose a unique solution to King Gottfried, to utilise the dead to work the fields and thereby contain the spread of the disease. The licensed use of unliving is brought into Teutonian civilisation.
The Churches of Mortis and Sythis clash over this, but are held in check by the iron rule of kings.

King Reinhart II invites Norscan raiders to put down a rebellion near the small town of Riga, in return for land in Northern Teutonia. Incensed by his actions, a group of Python Paladins murder the king and members of his council, causing the start of the first Schlangenkrieg.

The Church of Syth arises, eradicating all records of the female aspect of Sythis and hunting down her priestesses.

Outnumbered, Cobra forces are defeated by the Viper forces, led by Armenius and in possession of the Shrine.

The Second Schlangenkrieg ends wth a Viper victory at the Field of Mons.

Following a formidable campaign against the Cobras, seizing control of all but two city states, Viper General Demetrius is slain outside Murmansk.

Viper Lord Hinrick bands together the remnants of all Teutonian forces and starts to rebuild the Nation, removing any rebel leaders and forcing peace. He is later named King Hinrick.

Cobras seize eight city states and declare Nikolai Pregorin to be king. He is crowned and rules for six vicious years before being deposed and thrown from the tower at Pilomont.

Gustav returns to Teutonia with Lion and Wolf allies. Viper Lords flock to his banner and defeat King Frederic II. Gustav is crowned King Gustav II.

King Harriatta ascends to the throne. He rewards his loyal friend General Hagan Hagensen by rescinding the ban on worshipping Khoreg.

Teutonia is ravaged by Imperial armies. The warhosts break the siege of Odessa.

Later that same year, Teutonia suffers heavy losses defending the transportation circle at the Lonesome Pine, enabling her allies to pass through to invade the Golden Isles.

King Harriatta is taken by the Gods. Duke Kainom is named as Lord Protector, later crowned King Kainom. The Mistress of the Seas manifests outside the city of Noravik in a ritual to crown King Kainom.

King Hapsburg is crowned upon election by the princes elect. Maximillian Kruger, a Cobra Knight, is defeated by Hapsburg in battle. King Hapsburg negotiates peace with the Keltoi invaders, offering them land in Teutonia. Thirteen Knights are chosen to form a new Order of Knights by King Hapsburg. They travel to the Pole of Spirit to retrieve the spirit of General Demetrius.

Discoveries in the ruined city of Strasbourg reveal the truth behind the story of the Church of Syth. After several months of in-fighting within the Churches, it is agreed that both Syth and Sythis can be worshipped freely.

King Hapsburg marries Tabitha Drachmorden, but is murdered by the Tagmatoi Despot on the same night. His death is a great tragedy, but saves the world from invading forces.
Queen Tabitha and her son are taken into the protection of the wraith lord Hagen Hagenson at Khoreg's Gate. The rest of the Drachmorden family disappear, presumed dead.
Flamenica Callista Aurelia, proconsul of Riga, and Nash, Lord Protector of the Faith, lead the warhost of a united Viper and Cobra Teutonia.

The Shrine of the Gods is found, Brothers Artorius, Tinnius, and Fredricks become its bearers.

Gul emerges as the influence behind Von Wolfsburg and assaults Khoreg and Khorne. Their avatars are destroyed, causing them to be reborn to mortal mothers. Gul's failure to destroy the God Children also causes Lythas the Storyteller to break free from his restrictions, restoring his story to Teutonia.

Empress Calista is confronted by the Swartsengel, an anicent Vampire lord whom worships Syth, the empress disappears after the confrontation.
Dominus Drussus Scaro, Former Gladiator now General of Teutonia, takes up the staff of the gods in the name of the people. Preator Aulus Cinnia proclaims him Drussus Caesar. Caesar declares Martial Law.
Swartsengel meets with Caesar and agrees to formally inter-grate his followers back into Teutonia at large, on one condition, he is given a city and lands to rule as is befitting a Noble. He demands Riga as his seat. Caesar, after long consideration, gives his assent, for the good of Teutonia.

The city and deep water port of Odessa are destroyed by the forces of demon Bastaphon, now known as Golgerragoth, and King Sable's army.

Lord Arcane Avalon Von Odessa orders all Teutonian ritual teams to perform continuous devotional rituals to prevent further demonic incursions. The Nation begins to feel the economic strain.

The forces of Sable, known as the Joyful Lost, continue their spread across southern Teutonia. Led by the fallen Knight, Ser Karl Brandenburg, they lay siege to the cities of Queeg and Ravenburg.
Caesar orders the destruction of all bridges leading from the south to the Black Forest to arrest their progress to the Great Circle.
The combined might of the war hosts repels the besiegers at Ravenburg and saves the city from destruction.

In a campaign to rid the last pockets of Joyful Lost and demonic influence from Teutonian soil, Primus Edana, General Vintar and General Heinrich lead an assault to take back the city-state of Odessa.
However the Warhost and thier armies are forced to retreat after being defeated outside the Walls of Odessa by the regions leaders, Gissel Von Murmansk and Sir Ryker Schnee.
