Historical Overview

These records only go back 500 years but there are some historical events that sufficient evidence exists for mention in this overview. The dates for these events will be an approximation.

Prehistory
Very little is known about the early days before Kharad the Great save for stories passed down for generations.

It is believed that the first civilisations began in the fertile deltas of the southwest, now referred to as the Cradle of the World. There were peoples all over the world but the oldest traditions and writings always come from the cradle.

This time period is where the first followers of the Northern Pantheon began to build temples and monuments in the Ver.

The Migration of Kharad the Great
Around 700 BR a man from modern day Ahn named Kharad the Great led a caravan of people thousands strong across Heaven's Gate into the plains of Dhorin. Finding no arable land the group continued east to what is modern day Tylia. Kharad arrived in Tylia at a time of great hardship known as the Dark Harvest, bringing superior methods of growing crops as well as livestock and precious metals to trade. Kharad also united with the Tylianic tribes against the invasions of the Pacians. For this the Tylians worshipped Kharad as a godlike figure and named him the King of the Dawn. Kharad's people settled in the lands and interbred with the Tylians, giving the natives the unlikely combination of blue northern eyes and dark Kharadian hair and olive skin. After the Dark Harvest, the natives began to worship the light that had returned, becoming the Faith of the Light in modern day. After the unification of Tylia under Kharad, nations such as Qarosia, Pacia and the northern tribes began to interact and trade on a more global scale, giving rise to the Age of Kingdoms.

Foundation of the Northern Kingdoms
Around 500 BR The Kingdom of Thalia is believed to have been founded as a central northern power, attempting to rule over the Ver.

Reactively, the Kingdom of Aveland and the tribes of Lyngeld took up arms against the Thalian invasions, furthering technological advancements in the Ver and more advanced systems of government and society began to manifest themselves in the region.

Around 400-200 BR the Lyngeldian tribes that occupied most of modern day Mynace, Sjovar, Talor and Kray began to gather into kingdoms, the first of which being the island nation of Talor under the first king of Talor King Palien Marys. Talor had been a nation with lenient Qarosian rule inhabited by a Lyngeldian majority, which created a divide in language as the years of Qarosian rule forced Old Lyngeldian out of common use in Talor. After the foundation of Talor, the Mynaceans began to band together under one leader to fight against the Thalian occupation of what is now modern day Sjovar.
