Eastern Kingdoms

Settlers finally settling the southern lands of Suon start to form great, nomadic warrior tribes. They become known as the Warlords of Suon.

With the defeat of the elves and plundering of their technology, the humans north of the mountains finally united under the leader of a great commander, Thasson, Slayer of the Last Elf Queen. He named their country Ertland.

A particularly nasty few years of famine, wildfires and pestilence, decimated the Yersi food reserves. The Su governors insisted that the Emperor still be sent equal taxes and produce as the year before. Around 20% of the Yersi population starve or succumb to illness.

The major pair of settlements were liberated within a year of each other, providing a strong line of defense against Suon's incursions. The Empire officially backed down, laying low to recuperate losses.

Ertland was subject to wave after wave of raid and skirmishes between its own forces and those of the Kingdom to their West, the Kingdom of Red Veil.

With the Empire of Suon looming overhead again, the Yersi leaders called a convention. A young and talented noble warrior named Falco was chosen to lead, and thusly crowned as Queen under her new House of Accordi. She led her troops personally throughout the Wind War and beyond, even until old age.

King Alderin Thasson of Ertland has prophetic dreams of a land across the Milkwater. The dreams promise prosperity and wealth for Ertland, which is suffering from a famine.

The bones of Alderin Thasson wash up on the beaches of Reneto, scorched clean of flesh and with a melted crown in the skull. A Regency council of lesser nobles forms for his son Foltis, lead by the Duke of Argo. Over this period of transition many rights and powers are carved from the monarchy and divided among the nobility.

Civil war broke out in Ertland, which would have rippling consequences across the continent. Lady Amaldi warred against the former king's marshal, Neopaldi, who wished to call a great conclave and elect a new ruler. The Dukes of Argo officially withdrew their support from either side. Amaldi technically won the conflict after besieging Nero, but she died spontaneously on the spot in Nero as she went to accept Neopaldi's surrender. This caused the war to drag on for another twenty years as Amaldi's son, Montegro Montena, took up her claim. Eventually this dispute was mediated by the Red Veil King at the behest of House Argo. In 802, after 48 years of war, the Red Veil King and the Conclave of Nobles declared Montegro as rightful King of Ertland. Many viewed Montegro as a puppet of Red Veil.

When King Montegro the Foolish died, he left only one daughter, Princess Biacca. Under the management of the Veilan King, he organized Biacca's marriage to his third son, Prince Anasto. House Argo argued for this as it prevented further civil war with Red Veil managing their affairs. Biacca and Anasto were never formally crowned as King and Queen, which required the assent of Red Veil.

The Empire of Suon incurred several years of meteor showers that rained down magical destruction upon the country. In response, the Guild of Shapers was formed by the Emperor to contain and exploit the cosmalite powering the meteors.

Isolated and rich, the Colonies of Qorte and Chevry combine their might to win independence from Red Veil. Many change their names from Veilan names, following new traditions. While Chevry won complete independence, Qorte accepted a status as a semi-autonomous vassal with its own governors.

Late to the game, the Empire of Su's attempt to colonize the abandoned settlements of Novi and Hula were run afoul when the crews all contracted the Ripper Plague. Boats were sunk by other Su warships after news of contamination spread.

Despite being old enough to rule independently, members of Fianella's court convince her to accept a one year regency. Though initially hesitant, she agrees that she might need more practice in the ways of statecraft.

Working for Arento Argo, Juyliette, Lith Steppe and Alium Figura destroy The Aviary in Argo. They discover that its leader was Ardeth of Argo, Arento's half sister. The three slay Ardeth and have most of the conspirators in the city rounded up. Without leadership, the Aviary crumbles and devolves into pockets of individually acting agents.
