===Founding===
 
Four realms were founded in summer of what had since been known as year one. From north to south, these realms were [[Springdale]](monarchy), [[Morek]](theocracy), [[Pian en Luries]](monarchy), and [[Madina]](republic).
 
 
 
===Springdale Rebellion===
 
After expanding to gain the duchy of [[Dwilight/Nifelhold|Nifelhold]], the King became known for his oppressive ways. The more powerful nobles listed a series of grievances in hopes he would change. However, he only became more oppressive. This resulted in several groups forming to oppose his reign and plot for his overthrow. Eventually, they came together under a noble known as [[Arya Family#Neel|Neel Arya]]. After some convincing, Neel eventually accepted and lead a swift rebellion and became the new King of Springdale
 
 
 
===Everguard Threatens War===
 
[[Everguard]] claimed a large portion of the northwestern half of Dwilight, including [[Dwilight/Eidulb|Eidulb]]. [[Caerwyn]] was the first realm threatened with war for taking the city and they eventually moved south to [[Dwilight/Golden Farrow|Golden Farrow]]. Next, Everguard threatened war with [[Astrum]], but no war appeared and it appeared Everguard dropped their claim to the city and many other regions.
 
 
 
===Port Raviel War===
 
After an attack from [[Shadovar]] on [[Dwilight/Port Raviel|Port Raviel]], [[Melodia]], Madina, and Caerwyn promptly declared war with the aggressor realm. Soon thereafter, while alleged peace negotiations were underway, Melodia underwent an untimely rebellion. Although the tyrannical monarch [[De Blanc Family|Albert de Blanc]] was deposed and the realm reformed into a republic, the sudden and complete exchange of power left many regions in poor shape, easily allowing monsters to quickly devour those few that remained.
 
 
 
===Pian en Luries Infighting===
 
Duchess Minerva of [[Dwilight/Askileon|Askileon]] was beginning to be disliked by her duchy and was slowly losing power with lords switching allegiance to [[Dwilight/Giask|Giask]]. A small cause to this was the fact that she couldn't offer an army to protect her duchy. Eventually, she was banned from the kingdom on request of Queen [[Anaris Family/Alanna|Alanna Anaris]] to the Royal Arbitrator on grounds that she was endangering the realm and Askileon, the capital, and could not do her duty as duchess.
 
 
 
Soon after [[Shenron Family/Kaennji|Kaennji Shenron]], the first king of Pian en Luries, seceded [[Dwilight/Poryatown|Poryatown]] to form [[Verus Luria]]. He claimed Queen Alanna had grown too powerful and was a tyrant. It is rumored by those within Verus Luria that Duke and Grand Imperator [[Exiled Family/Diodorus|Diodorus Exiled]] convinced him that he would join if Kaennji led the secession as rightful claims. Few of Pian en Luries believed the excuses though. A civil war, the second war of Dwilight, followed soon after.
 
 
 
After the war, there was a rebellion called by Mathias which forced Pian en Luries to withdraw their troops to the capital. It is claimed that this set their expansion back drastically.
 
 
 
====<span style="font-size: 90%">Lurian Civil War</span>====
 
The war was longer than anyone expected with Verus Luria surviving for quite some time. The King and Duke Kaennji Shenron grew disillusioned with international politics and stepped down to form a [[Magna Aenilia Ecclesia|religion]], which soon collapsed. Former Countess [[Ogren Family/Katayanna|Katayanna Ogren]] became the duchess while Reynard became the king. While fighting Pian en Luries in a series of skirmishes, they talked with their neighbors to move to a location further away from Pian en Luries. Eventually they decided to escape to Shadovar. Breaking through [[Dwilight/Poryatu|Poryatu]] in a final battle they began their migration.

===D'Hara vs Shadovar===
 
The Verus Lurians moved to Shadovar intending to create the colony of [[DragonShire]]. Eventually controversy broke out between the native Shadovarians and their guests. It resulted in a rebellion led by Mathias. A duke and a judge of the new government did not submit to the new order of things and soon Port Raviel seceded to form [[D'Hara]]. A short civil war existed where Shadovar fell to D'Hara, ending the war.

History

A short summary of important events in Dwilight's history that significantly affected a major realm or the continent. Neutrality is generally strove for. In time, older summaries are archived, and only the more current accounts are kept on this page.

D'Hara vs Shadovar

The Verus Lurians moved to Shadovar intending to create the colony of DragonShire. Eventually controversy broke out between the native Shadovarians and their guests. It resulted in a rebellion led by Mathias. A duke and a judge of the new government did not submit to the new order of things and soon Port Raviel seceded to form D'Hara. A short civil war existed where Shadovar fell to D'Hara, ending the war.

The Springdale Secessions

a.k.a. The War of Secession/Independence
After a long struggle in the Empire of Springdale, the Duke of Muspelheim, Cato De La Fere, seceded the duchy and formed the theocratic realm of Virovene, crowning himself Kaiser. Springdale saw this secession in their own borders as an act of open rebellion, and quickly declared war on the fledgling realm. However, Springdale did not count upon the support of the other realms dedicated to the Bloodstars: Morek and Astrum. Morek promised military support to defend the faith, whilst Astrum still worked for a peaceful solution. The war has become known of the War of Secession among the people of Springdale, whilst the peoples of Virovene and Morek refer to it as the War of Independence. Soon after the war began, Duke Edward Raiva seceded the Duchy of Aegir from Springdale to form the Raivan Empire, with the intent to remain neutral to the Springdale/Virovene conflict.
