World History of Heirbrosse

Formalization of the Aspects

945 HT 2100 HT

The pagan elemental worship and magic wielding crystallized over time. The sun and sea factions reached maturity first—this era's beginning is marked by the dawn of the Roythan Aspect, although it is disputed that Culdur's Aspect came into organization first. This era is rife with conflict as the emerging sovereign Aspects attempted to establish themselves. Its end is marked by the culmination of these wars: The Silence of Bayth, in which the entire Aspect is said to have been banished and frozen in another plane of existence.

Reign of Daxill

2101 HT 2224 HT

A short respite of peace, in which the Aspect of Daxill employed extraordinarily powerful magic to help modernize and stabilize the world in the wake of the centuries of conflict. However, once the other Aspects had risen sufficiently in culture and skill, their leaders feared oppression and overreach from Daxish Luminaries—there was also legitimate fear that they would try and resurrect Bayth, as many Daxish openly and deeply sympathized with the recent forcible extinction. A coordinated effort from Royth, Massus, Iskiss and Culdur saw Daxill defeated through the creation of five Leech Locks.

Modern Times

2225 HT and beyond

With four Aspects now balanced and at peace, Heirbrosse flourishes. Conflicts are limited to regional skirmishes, the lawless areas of the great omni-ocean, and tensions with non-aspectrals in isolated parts of the world.

Some historians argue that a new era began at the Birth of the Boil, a disastrous and yet unexplained volcanic event in Royth that severely disrupted trade and The Grid.
