The Angel of Elements, and the Elements are born, Bringing substance to all things.
This is a timeline documenting major and key events that effected the entire world of tor. Not everything is exactly the right date, but it doesn't matter all that much until the more modern eras. I trust my players to not meta game, plus in general this will not be important to them so there will not be anything missing unless I just haven't gotten to it yet, or unless I haven't thought of it yet.
This is when I'O, The beginning, and Roth, The End, Both popped into existence, creating the material plane, and the ethereal plane respectively. Both entities had inklings for what to do, but where both confused upon their abrupt births. After spending Many Billions of years reaching out to try and understand they both came to separate conclusions as to their purposes, and where unaware of each other till much later in their lives. The end of the Beginning Era is marked by the creation of the 6 Primal aspects as reflections of I'Oes feelings at the time.
The Angel of Elements, and the Elements are born, Bringing substance to all things.
The Planes of Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Aether were created by and interwoven into reality by the Angel of Elements.
I'O's Fears become Tezeztheth, marking the first Primal Aspect to be born
I'O's Joy for having something else creates Suvanya, Tezeztheth's sister.
I'O's Surprise becomes Betegus, marking the creation of the Primal Aspect of Surprise.
Barilia is created from the love that I'O feels for its new family.
At some point, I'O's children are threatened by the Umbra, enraging I'O, and creating Airoth, the Primal Aspect of Rage.
Airoth begins to fulfill his purpose, and attacks the Umbra, sending them back into hiding. However, Airoths rage could not be quelled, and he began "The Endless War" on all things, branding him the first Fiend at the hand of I'O.
I'O's sadness for branding His son Airoth with the mark of the fiend created the final Primal Aspect, Luthen, The Primal Aspect of Sadness.
This Age is a general frame of time when the fist god like beings began to use their powers to create. This age is also when the First Elder Elementals came to be, by consuming lesser elementals, and fonts of power within the elemental planes.
Imora, an elemental from the plane of fire in the shape of some kind of bird, consumed enough fire elementals essences, and was drawn to enough wells of power on the plane to become an extremely powerful elemental, or in other terms, a demi-god. The Five Winged Element Noticed this phenomenon, and granted Imora more profound sentience then a powerful elemental would gain naturally, and gifted Imora the title of Elder Elemental, as well as naming her lady of Fire, first ruler of the fire elemental plane.
Imora with her newfound wisdom, and knowledge creates the first phoenix' in her image, and allows her daughters to fly free, with some making it to other planes outside of the Fire Plane.
The First Demon type of Fiend is created by the Primal aspect of rage, The Balar Demon, Hareg'dor. Hareg'dor being the first of many Balar, and comparable in power to an elder elemental, or weaker demi god, Hareg'dor began to carve through the beginnings of the universe in a frenzy.
Tezeztheth flees the material plane for its newly created plane, later known to mortals as Raxatum Terrum, the plane of fear.
When Prisma the all dragon was created, shell fragments from his planet sized egg were flung into all corners of the universe. Some fragments collided with each other creating the first Gem Dragons, some fragments kept going on into the endlessness of space hatching into Cosmic Dragons, and some Landed on planets, and other celestial bodies with mixed results.
Eidolon, a wise and powerful elemental is drawn to wells of power in space, thanks in part to the spontaneous birth of powerful cosmic dragons within the Material Plane. Drawing on these wrinkles, Eidolon becomes an extremely powerful elemental, and is crowned the second Elder Elemental by the 5 Winged Element.
I'O Had finally met, and conversed with its equal and opposite Xh'ar, learning of the ethereal plane, and the infinite soul of existence. I'o, and its sibling decided that having places for the beings born within existence should be preserved to some degree, rather then being returned to the infinite soul upon death. Thus they created the first of many passing planes, the heavens and hells, for those of positive and negative soul respectively.
Death the Guide is created by Xh'ar from the fragment of death, to guide souls that have passed away and entered the ethereal to the planes that best suite them, however this guide is only there to guide and defend each soul. If a soul decides not to follow, or is lured away, death will not intervene.
Though it wasen't known at the time, the death of _____ broke several treaties between the heaven and hells, resulting in several factions forming and the begining of the grey skirmishes to begin.
The Empire at the south pole, founded by the lord of light, Sol, God of Suns was founded in -2980 BLG, Begining the Age of Stars.
With the creation of the The Soul Cleaver at the hands of Murdal - The Builder, tests were to be conducted on the lesser of the death fragment armery. The Soul cleaver was used on mortals, then extraplainers, like angels and devils, then the final test was it's effectivness on the divine. Prisma the All Dragon was an open allie to I'O, and if these tools were to be made effective, then the gods would kill two birds with one stone. Prisma was brought to the heavens, and was betrayed, leaving it open to the cleaver's strike. Though rather then be reborn in two, like the other tests, who had been made into innfants, or infant like stages of their life cycle, Prisma had split into two fully realized halves. Ran'Ba, and Relac.
The I'o Gate was created after five days of building power from within I'o, during this time, many of the greater deities allied with each other to try and destroy their creator. Their anger from Io's intervention in their affairs, and their lust for control over the lands of every world and their peoples was so great, they began to assault it in a great alliance. However, they where to slow, and though they struck mortal blows, and destroyed Io's, they were to late, and every Greater Deity was sent out of the material and boarder planes as well as bared from returning. Leaving only Demi-gods, Mortals, and anything else lesser then the gods to pick up the pieces of the now war torn, and chaos ridden material plane.
The siege of Bendath'Uktal became the first recorded sealing of Demi-Gods, as well as marking the day Veazu Perished.
The Fall of the Androsten Empire was practically over night. The land froze over, the water dried up, and the leaders under the deity of the sun were powerless. One of the greatest calamities the world had known, causing the extinction of several races, and the total relocation of many others.
As tensions rose and military might grew wars became more and more frequent. Not only that but they escalated very rapidly to the point where spells where created to destroy as much as possible. in the wake of these wars most civilizations where obliterated, and no one eventually won these wars. This was the second time in Tors history that mortals where set back to almost square one.
(WIP)
With aid from the Gnomes, Halflings, and Goblins of Lagr'fel, reconstruction of global trade began. New and old cities began to have a new fervor. The Now Wood elves of the south saw prosperity with their kinder neighbors, and Global reconstruction and coalescing began to paint the world in vibrant new culture, tempered in some ways but the faults of the past.

Prince, and later King Enrich Maijgart First born of Flindt Maijgart is birthed on a bed of dark red roses
As several northern tribes of humans received aid, and trade from the prosperous Lagr'fel, kingdoms rose from the ashes of dead lands, and they began to squabble for land. one kingdom, whos name is now remembered as Eare, began to project outward, with their powerful forms of magic, including blood magic. Not yet seen as intolerable, the Emperor, known as the Blood King, founded the Primo Maji, the first true magocratic governmental institution the planet had ever seen. These Magus controlled enough foreign land to call themselves an empire, and swiftly took over Erador's Eastern Half (the continent was named after the Eare).
Marking the Begining of the Eare Age, The foundation of the Eare Empire of Erador rockes the world as a powerful magocacy rises to power in the south. Though manageable at its founding, The Eare would soon become the strongest Mortal nation in history, and become responsible for the sealing of many Demigods who still roamed the world at this time.
On the day of Blood King Enrich Maijgart's 209th birthday, he was either sealed away or killed (unclear) by the Primo Maji, sparking a mage revolution and over throwing of the royal family. False promises were made to the common people of Eare and low oppinions of the royal family and their "Lich King" (The blood King) turned the commoners to the Primo Maji's side, allowing them to establish a new rule. This led to the eventual Magocratic State of the eare Empire.
The powerful artifact and center of the androsten Empire, The Well of Stars was re-released into the south pole's sky, blasting the south with powerful aurora australis, the explorers Hym, Lumera, Mux, and Mux's Pelican Roberto went missing, and were never found, but it is assumed they unleashed the artifact.
The Arcanum Wars were a nearly 400 year stretch of anti arcane magic wars, schisms, civil wars, rebellion's, and refugee crisis that mainly took place in the Eare Empire. This is heralded as one of the major reasons the Empire collapsed in the 1200's to 1300's.
Afetr several cataclysms, over ambitious mages, Powerful magic gone wrong, and civil unrest (religeous, and anti-blood magic), the Eare Empire fractured and collapsed into hundreds of smaller states, and factions, marking the end of the Eare Age.
The tribes and kingdoms of The Spined Peninsula bent the knee to Emperor of Venor after bloody conflicts along the peninsula. When powers from the west of the peninsula, along the eastern coast sought to invade this prime location for naval pursuits, they were caught off guard by the new Empire that rose from seemingly out of no were. This crippling defeat opened the venearan people to invade the entire coast, and bring the whole of the eastern coast of Saron under the emperors rule.
As the Ka'Reli Kingdom pushed south into Fira, and Patrilum, Ka'Reli forced them to subjugate, and become part of the empire. Though there is no exact date for the foundation of the Gilded Crown empire, it formed somewhere during this time frame.
Events that take place fairly recently.
The northern Metallic dragonborn Began to run low on lumber, due to the desertification of their lands, and began a "crusade" to take back holy land down south, and feed their need for resources back home.
On Gelua 29th, the last region of Gora fell under the rule of Kare. The kingdom of Minirii, and The Manoran Confederacy being allies on good standing with the Gilded Crown, and aiding in this conquest, earned portions of land from the newly conquered region, and Kare brought the rest of Gora into the fold as Minor regions, or duchies, that they named states over the course of the next 4 months.
