CHRONICLE OF CERILIA

According to the bards and historians of the land, to understand Cerilia, one must first understand its history. The struggles and triumphs of Cerilia's people, no matter how far in the past, still shape the land today. This chronicle attempts to aid the understanding of Cerilian history by charting all the major events that have helped to shape modern Cerilia. For a more detailed retelling of the history of the various regions of Cerilia you should refer to later chapters and the individual description of each realm.


The dates below are listed in Haelyn's Count (HC), which takes as its starting point the battle of Mount Deismaar and the death of the old gods. Three other calendars are also in common use in Cerilia, Masetian Reckoning (MA), which takes as its starting point the first arrival of humans in Cerilia (-515 HC), is common in the Khinasi lands. Michaeline Reckoning (MR), which commences with the death of Michael Roele, the last emperor of Anuire (in 973 HC), is used by the people of Anuire, and the elven calendar which commences with the birth of Queen Tuar (in -3295 HC).

Titanic creatures walk Aebrynis

 

 

~100000

~50000

The great war of the dragons. Thousands of dragons are believed to have died in a war that filled the skies of Aebrynis with fire and bathes the soil with dragon blood. The cause has been lost to history, but it this war brings about the downfall of the great dragon empires and marks the end of the Age of Monsters and the beginning of the Age of Man.

~45000

Taking the opportunity to emerge from the shadow of the dragons, the noble giants, a race of civilised, intelligent giants now lost to the world; begin to build a civilisation in the grasslands of central Aduria. Within a few centuries they are the dominant race on Aebrynis.

~40000

The noble giants, who now rule much of the continents of Cerilia and Aduria, are among the first to set down the principles of true magic. Many millennia later, human magicians will discover their secrets in the ruins of their cities and learn to cast lesser magic.

~26000

Giant civilisation begins to decline as the younger races begin their rise to power. New races and monsters unseen before challenge the giants for power, raiding their crops and attacking their villages and towns. Among the young races emerging in Aduria are primitive human scavengers.

The dragon now known as Vore Lekiniskiy convinces many of his kin to join him in a quest to conquer all of Cerilia and restore the ancient dragon empire. Vore is finally defeated by a desperate alliance of dragons and noble giants and merges with Vstaive Peak to escape his enemies. Trapped within the mountain, he is thought dead by his enemies and forgotten. This war marks the end of the rule of the dragon and giant races in Cerilia and opens the way for the rise of elven civilisation.

~20000

The last of the noble giants retreat from their holdings in southern Cerilia and Aduria and move north to settle in the lands that now form the Giantdowns. They survive just long enough to build the hundreds of tombs and ruins that dot the Giantdowns today before dying out.
