Dwilight (a.k.a. West Continent) is the first complete BattleMaster world map created by the player community. It is also the first (and currently only) Serious Medieval Atmosphere game world.
OOC Note: This island is a testing island (as is Beluaterra), so expect to see bugs as new features are tested and improved.
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.
Victory For Virovene and the End of an Empire
The War of Secession ended after a long siege by Virovene of Springdale's capital fortress of Nifelhold. The stronghold held out for many months and took a tremendous effort on behalf of Virovene to control the people. Despite Virovene's military superiority, it took many attempts to gain control. The taking of Springdale's final region meant that, after its long history, the first great realm on Dwilight has been lost.
The Formation of a Holy State
After much planning from the followers of Sanguis Astroism, a new theocracy has been formed upon the Mimer peninsular, known as Corsanctum. It was a long held plan of the Holy Prophet and founder of the faith, Mathurin Hossenfeffer, to create this new realm as a lynchpin and centre for the whole faith. Sanguis Astroism is one of the largest religions on the continent, and also has the most theocracies dedicated to its worship. It is hoped to become a centre for worship to the Bloodstars, and to be neutral ground for the other theocracies to work out their differences on neutral ground.
Dragon Rebellion of D'Hara
The rhetoric of this rebellion was the result of a division created in the D’Haran nobility. For several reasons unmentioned here, it was decided by the Dragon Queen Katayanna to abdicate from the throne and lead a colony effort to the mainland past Paisly. At the same time a growing lack of confidence in the sanity of the Dragon Queen, and severe mistrust in her behaviour, led to opposition among the nobles who would remain in D’Hara. After a breakdown in meaningful communication, General Cenarious maneuvered a group of disillusioned nobles into a rebellion to overthrow the Queen. The rebels stated that because the Queen was stealing gold from the realm to found the colony, enough to destroy parent realm of D'Hara, and because of the Queen's recent behaviour against a Duke of renown, they were no longer able to accept her rule. The colonists were not involved in the rebellion and were supported even after the Dragon Queen was overthrown and banned. King Cenarious took the throne of D’Hara and began ordering realm-wide repairs.
Kaiser Cato Assassinated
Whilst holding court Kaiser Cato De La Fere, one of the more controversial leaders on the continent, was attacked and killed by an assassin. This was a blow to Virovene. As it is still one of the developing realms on the continent, it is unsure how the realm will withstand the death of its charismatic leader. Cato was at the head of the Wars of Secession, seceding Virovene from the former Empire of Springdale. The laiser's death was in the wake of much accusations of threats from the kaiser to other realms bordering Virovene. Although there was much speculation, with his demise the Kaiser's plans went with him to the grave. What the future holds for Virovene remains to be seen.
