The original version of the map was presented to the [[Discussion List]] on October 25, 2005, by ''[[Firefox_Family|Darfix Panzer]]'' using Microsoft Paint to rework existing maps (note that previous maps were created using the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Wonders#Map_Editor Age of Wonders map editor]). The initial layout of region borders was drawn up by ''[[User:Gsklee|Gias Kay Lee]]'', and was subsequently refined by ''[[User:Matt andrews|Matt Andrews]]'', along with some improvements on geographic arrangements, all done using [http://www.gimp.org/ Gimp]. After a massive process of region name soliciting, the names were picked out and put into the map with the sea routes sketched again by ''Gias Kay Lee''. In order to honour the above three co-illustrators of the map, there are regions in the map that were named after them respectively. As of November 17, 2005, the graphical design of the project has been completed. After a flush of excitement in the community, however, the project gradually died down due to the lack of further actions.

'''Current events'''<br>
 +
* [[Luria Nova]] has emerged victorious in the war against [[Wicrose]], formerly known as [[Astrum]], thus bringing an end to its lengthy history
 +
* [[D'Hara]] has increased its grip on the eastern coast of the Occidens and even recolonized [[Golden Farrow]]. An attempt to find safe farm lands on [[Dwilight/Toprak_Minor|Toprak]] proved [[Luria Nova]] a greater threat than the monsters in the west.
 +
* [[Tol Goldora]] is expanding into ancient [[Morek]] lands. In order to bolster its claim, it has become a theocracy.
 +
* [[Westgard]] has won the [[/Astrumese Succession War/]] and gained control of [[Libidizedd]].
 +
* [[Avenor]] is supported its ally [[Westgard]] in the war against [[Wicrose]] and continues their cooperation to tame the [[Dwilight/Upper_Occidens|Upper Occidens]].
 +
* [[Swordfell]] has expanded into the [[Dwilight/Divide_Mountains|Divide Mountains]] and around the [[Dwilight/Unterlands|Unterlands]]. It is also in a federation with [[Luria Nova]].

On August 23, 2006, ''[[Framboise Family|Stephen Pollei]]'' picked up the hibernated project and began the database establishment process, in which detailing several necessary parts of numeral information that will make this map truely playable. Finally, once again after several complaints about the current playing worlds being overcrowded showing up on the Discussion List recursively, the project was brought back to full life under the coordination of ''[[User:Dead Angel|Tom Struik]]'', on October 27, 2006, 2 days after its one-year birthday.
