Dwilight/History

This is where you can find a detailed accounting of the histories of the realms of Dwilight.

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 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 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 Eidulb. Caerwyn was the first realm threatened with war for taking the city and they eventually moved south to 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 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 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 Askileon was beginning to be disliked by her duchy and was slowly losing power with lords switching allegiance to 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 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 Kaennji Shenron, the first king of Pian en Luries, seceded 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 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.

Lurian Civil War

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 religion, which soon collapsed. Former Countess 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 Poryatu in a final battle they began their migration.

D'Hara vs Shadovar

Former nobles of the fallen Verus Luria moved to Shadovar, intending to create the colony of Dragon Shire. Controversy eventually broke out between the native Shadovarians and their guests, resulting in a rebellion led by Mathias. A duke and a judge of the new government did not submit to the new order of things, leading to Port Raviel seceding to form D'Hara. A short civil war existed during which Shadovar fell to D'Hara, ending the war.
