Dwilight/History

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

Age of Colonization

This is the age that saw the founding realms of Dwilight(Springdale, Morek, Pian en Luries, and Madina) begin to expand and colonize the continent. During this 5-year history, Springdale collapsed from within, Sanguis Astroism of Morek grew, Pian en Luries suffered and then grew, Madina nearly collapsed from within, and the Raviel-Nebel islands became host to many secessions and rebellions. Paisly was a city no one could hold. Throughout this time of expansion, contraction, and turbulence, five tournaments were held(Poryatown, Aegir, Donghaiwei, Madina, and Aegir respectively).

Current Age

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.

Crusade for Sallowtown

The infamous Demon of Dwilight, Lord Bowie Ironsides, has successfully launched a Crusade for the city of Sallowtown in the name of the Great Dragon Sallow. He was given the Mandate of Sallowtown by the Great Dragon himself and charged with reviving the Sallowsian culture and prominence on the continent. By bringing civilization back to the suffering Sallowsians, and performing the necessary rituals, he has been named their Prince. With the blessings of the ancestors, he shall bring back the glory and power Sallowtown once wielded. The D’Haran Crusaders who have participated in this noble cause deserve their due recognition. They are: Duke Hexic Jeckyl, Marquis Rathan Himoura, Dame Sorsha McDowell, Sir Gislher Ehrenstein, and Sir Carlos Francisco Torres de los Reyes. The Sallowsian Sir Kratos Wolff participated with honours. The Prophet Tenebrioun Kiri-Jolith also deserves mention for preaching the faith in the city to prepare them for their deliverance.

Virovene's End

After months of trouble the Theocracy of Virovene has been destroyed. Through political subversion and a string of bad luck the once proud kingdom. Although alive for a small time, the formation of Virovene from Springdale was a catalyst that brought massive changes to the political nature of the continent, including allowing Morek to take control of a large portion of the Old Realm of Springdale. It's nobles have scattered, with many joining Morek, whilst the rest dispersing all over the continent.

The Formation of the Kingdom of Thulsoma

Thulsoma kingdom formed in Storms Keep. After braving the monsters a small group of intrepid nobles have completed an impossible journey in the dead of winter with nearly no gold or troops. King Glaumring Apasurain was crowned and each of his men swore their oaths upon the star disc in the courtyard of the fortress. No celebrations or fancy coronation was planned. The King and his men went straight back to work building a brick wall.

First Rebellion in Ordenstaat

On the 10th day of May a rebellion begun in Ordenstaat. Sir Xiahou Dun launched a rebellion against the realm in the name of their gods Tyr and Zisa. The rebellion failed and the rebels banned. Much later, Xiahou was killed by Lord Zeromus Abaron, a former Lord of Ordenstaat, in a death duel in Port Nebel.
