Timeline

This timeline is from a Cannorian perspective, the origins of the world come from the Halcanni Pantheon and the chronicles' perspective comes from the precursors and their successors, the elves, humans and half elves.

Creation

Halcanni Creation Myth

Dwarven Creation Myth

Harimari Creation Myth

Fall of the Gods

Skyforged in Flame

Year	Event
Prehistory	Remnants of the primordials, the giants and the genies, are given a chance to live if they aid in the creation of the world.
Prehistory	Castellos and Agrados work together to create dragons in their image, Castellos favoring chromatic dragons and Agrados metallic dragons. Malliath is the first dragon to be created, being jointly made, he is given two heads, one silver and one black. Their younger sister Astralania teaches the dragons magic.
Prehistory	Halanna creates the first dwarf Dagrin Everbeard out of stone, she soon creates many more to aid in crafting the finer details of the world.
Prehistory	Castellos creates the immortal avariel (winged elves) to act as stewards and servants to the gods.

Godswar

Year	Event
Prehistory	Agrados rapes Halanna, who later gives birth to the Spawn of Agrados as well as deities Falah and Nerat.
Prehistory	Castellos offers Agrados a chance to atone but Agrados declares war instead. Agrados creates proto-humans to help him in his war.
Prehistory	Godswar Several gods and dragons join with Agrados. The dwarves and avariel remain loyal to Castellos, most gods/dragons (such as Malliath) stay loyal to Castellos. Castellos slays and attempts to absorb Agrados' essence and portfolio, he fails and casts away the corrupted/merged version of him: Kazraiel.
Prehistory	Godly Decrees Kazraiel and the traitorous gods and dragons are banished to a new realm beneath the earth: The Underworld. Nerat is tasked to oversee their imprisonment as a form of atonement. Gods can no longer walk on earth, they must live through avatars which are reborn if they wish. Only one god can have a certain portfolio, gods will lose their portfolios or merge if it's their only one. Avariels act as messengers and representatives of the gods in their stead. Dragons are tasked to rule the world in the gods' stead.
Prehistory to Today	Eternal War Kazraiel bands the Godswar outcasts together and becomes the Prince of the Underworld. The exiled gods become the progenitor of devils, the exiled dragons become the progenitor of demons. Nerat becomes Judge of the Dead and conscripts sinful souls into his army to fight Kazraiel.

The dwarves begin carving what today is known as Dwarfhome across the mountains, a shelter for all. Malliath devours several gods (including then Goddess of Magic Astralania. He later maims and eats Castellos' right arm and leg.) The gods retreat but manage to slay Malliath. With superiority in the skies, the heavens are essentially blockaded by the dragon scions.

The Precursors are free to establish temples in Sarhal and beyond. (Chronicler's Note: It is assumed that the genies had ascended from the idea of war and territory, growing decadent in their years. Another factor could be that the precursor elves could act as a buffer state between the genies and the Dwarven Empire.

Monarchical government is abolished into an elective merit-based one, Admirals and military become the new nobility.

After this the communion of elves and men were no longer taboo, many half-elves were soon born, upsetting some elves that lead to the Elven Migrations. (Chronicler's Note: Half-elven children do not share the surname of their father, they are instead given surnames to denote the elven parent of the first pairing. Mion is the son of the elf Munas and the human Auci, the elven progentior is Munas so his surname becomes 'of Munas', or in elven: Silmuna. -J)
5 AL	First Elven Migration The most xenophobic elves travel east to settle in the Great Forest, away from the humans of Damesear, they eventually become the wood elves. Some under Ibenion ta'Lunpyr settle and create a kingdom today known as Ibevar. Elves create settlements along the coasts of Dameshead, eventually becoming the Anbennarian City States. //remove?

Some elves migrate to northern Sarhal, building their own settlements or living in the Bulwari Great Cities. They mix with the Bulwari Elves, eventually becoming the sun elves. (Chronicler's Note: The Bulwari Kingdoms were the remains of the precursor colonies, the human populace saw them as gods who elevated them from savagery, which they did to some extent.

Unification of human, half-elf and elven peoples under one moniker, they are now known as Damerian.

The Hunt for the Lost Avatar begins, Damerri priests fail to find the next avatar of The Dame until nearly 300 years later in an elven thief and former spy named Nathalyne. Without an avatar, some Damerri leave to join other Cannorian tribes, though most stay in the fledgling Republic, seeing Mion as Auci's hereditary heir. Worship of The Dame still continues but early roots of the Halcanni Pantheon appear here as people look to other gods for guidance.
70 AL	Second election of the Damerian Republic, Mion wins by a small margin. Attacks and raids continue against the Damerian Colonies with little to no official aid.

Daermar the Great begins his wars to strip the authority of the Bulwari Kings and become sole Emperor. Leads to Sun Elven Diaspora.
201 AL	Sun Elven Diaspora Sun elf settlers in Northern Sarhal forcibly annexed by the newly formed Bulwari Empire. Most flee across the Nolomar Mountains or across the Divenhalan Ocean back into Cannor where they are attacked by the human and gnollish barbarian tribes. Surviving refugees find themself within the Damerian Republic. Refugees in Dameria are not given citizenship but become the lower class clients instead.

1153 AL - Wars of Rule in the Empire -> Concordat of Rule -> mages shouldnt rule but magical-blooded families, decentralization of The Empire

time of classic kingdoms shit here

Greentide (1380 AL - 1510 AL)

Witch Kings Era (1510 AL - 1600 AL)

Mages hailed as heroes in Escann for defeating Greentide with help of guns, empty Escann makes them prime candidates for ruling

Eventually uber decadence and tyranny/rivalry between Witch kings, Escann becomes very anti-magic

The Empire becomes pretty decadent too since they have good relations with Witch Kings? Those who didnt become Witch Kings were veterans of the Greentide and now are ruling The Magisterium. Increase of overall magical tyranny and right to rule: people couldnt save and rule themselves during the Greentide so its up to mages

Ayo some dank Witch King conquers a lot of shit and then invades the Empire a la Revan, by then The Empire is undergoing attempts of centralization after a long time of decentralized shit, the Emperor is trying to curb the power of The Magisterium and ignoring Ravelian Cults - many Magisters are now Greentide veterans and support the Witch King Invasion

^even more Mage Distrust aka Illuminati
