The Rise of the Ancient Civilizations
FoundingAncient civilizations spring up around the world. The Saiit spread across Maiara and intermingle with the existing tribes of the land, as the Viliit come together in unison in Loudan. Humans create a nation to the east of the ocean's great mountain range, and metallurgy grows in popularity in Omarach.

The Fall of the Giants
ExtinctionThe Uluran civilization of the Giants falls, all members of the race dying off or disappearing almost overnight. Few traces of the cause remained and any who were close enough to know what could have caused the mass destruction of the giants either died along with them or kept strict secrecy. The ruins of their empire of stone and sand remain, inhabited by the smaller races that had acted as servants and slaves during the height of their rule. The few whispers of the fate of the giants that escaped the continent point to the Stonewyrm as the instigator, but the how and why is never revealed. Symbolism showing the sun and stars dot much of the leftover architecture in the ruins, but nowhere is the stonewyrm itself actually referenced.

A few choose to keep mostly to themselves, but accept delegates and get to know their new found neighbors readily, not wanting to be caught unawares.

The Maiaran and Loudan Civil Wars
RevolutionMaiara goes to war with itself over the Saiit and their status within the country.

Serpentsingers
Life, SupernaturalThe Quasan of Pok share the knowledge of the 'Serpentsingers'- a variety of Quasan with vibrant coloration setting them apart from most of their kind. These rare individuals have the instinctual ability to lull the dangerous serpents that inhabit the world's oceans, calming them enough to allow travel through previously inaccessible waterways. Some try their hand at reaching out into the wider world by offering their services to trade ships.

Sylamas Attacks
Military actionSylamas, with Omarach backing them, launch an attack on the southern end of Maiara and Dasana's eastern side. The world is shocked by this act of aggression, and while Maiara is able to hold its own, Dasana nearly buckles until a last-minute agreement with the larger country makes Dasana a Maiaran city-state with access to full military cooperation. Loudan and Rypharam sign an alliance and rebuff a simultanious attack from their western front, while Lichen enters into all-out war with their neighbors. Uluro, one of the independent countries, locks down further than ever before, disallowing entry from all but one location, while the few settlements in the northern Frostlands do the same.
