A list of significant events which occured in Caerwyn, taken from Dwilight/Timeline, with additional notes from Sir Konrad. The first ten years of colonial history are referred to by some historians as the Age of Colonization, for it was this time that saw the rise and fall of great empires and small realms alike, during the rush to colonize Dwilight. Note that the beginning of summer marks the start of each new year.

Year 1

Spring

  • 2008-03-29 Madina - Leads successful colony takeover of Eidulb which will become Caerwyn. - And so, at the close of the first year of the colonization, Caerwyn's roots were sunk.

Year 2

Summer

  • 2008-04-03 Madina Colony - City of Golden Farrow taken over. - An odd development given the distances involved, though one which would prove critical, given that which followed. Were two groups of colonists sent northwards from Madina? Must ask.
  • 2008-04-07 Madina Colony - Renamed Caerwyn.
  • 2008-04-09 - The city of Eidulb declares its independence.

Although it may not be relevant, note that at this time, Madina was also involved in a short-lived attempt to form a colony centered in the lands around Chateau Saffalore. Avenel lasted only a few brief days. What became of those colonists? Did some venture north to join Caerwyn?

Winter

  • 2008-05-13 - Successful colony takeover of Chrysantalys to form Viridian. - Another strange development. Perhaps this is the period that Duke Tsuboh described, in which Caerwyn served as a stepping-off point for nobles wishing to found their own colonies. The western island is littered with their remains.
  • 2008-05-14 - War declared on Shadovar. - Shadovar, the result of the secession of Duke Edelstein Greneburie of Port Nebel from Pian en Luries, had declared war on Melodia, likely due to the latter's acquisition of Port Raviel. Those islands have a troubled history, indeed. Madina also declared war on Shadovar at this time.
  • 2008-05-16 Viridian - Vesna Valentine elected ruler, name changed from Caerwyn Colony.

By the year's end, Melodia was lost. I do not yet know what part the war played in that, nor what part Caerwyn played in the war. More information is required.

Year 3

Autumn

  • 2008-07-31 - Successful colony takeover of Chateau Saffalore. The realm becomes known as Terran, Vesna Valentine is its first ruler. - Curious; previously the ruler of Viridian, though the colony had not yet fallen. Regardless, I must keep focused on Caerwyn, else this task shall never be finished.

Spring

  • 2008-09-12 Viridian - The capital city of Chrysantalys revolts and declares independence. Viridian is destroyed.

Year 4

Autumn

Year 5

Spring

  • 2009-03-05 - War declared on Terran. - Due to a border dispute, I believe. More information is required.
  • 2009-03-07 - Federation formed with Astrum.

Year 6

Year 7

Summer

(June 17, 2009 to July 8, 2009)

  • 2010-?-10 - Elects Khephera Stormwind as its new Archon.

Autumn

  • 2009-07-19 - City of Itau taken over.

Winter

  • 2009-07-31 - City of Itau revolts.

Year 8

Summer

  • 2009-09-15 - City of Itau taken over.

Autumn

  • 2009-10-?? - City of Via taken over.
  • 2009-10-23 - City of Via revolts and declares its independence.

Year 9

Summer

  • 2009-12-27 D'Hara - Declares war on Ordenstaat.
  • 2009-12-29 - War declared on D'Hara.

Autumn

  • 2010-01-10 - Lucian Aperion elected as Archon.
  • 2010-01-11 - Lucian Aperion is killed in battle.
  • 2010-01-14 - Khephera Stormwind elected as Archon.

Year 10

Summer

  • 2010-03-?? - City of Echiur taken over sometime between the 19th and 21st.

Winter

  • 2010-05-11 - City of Echiur secedes to form the monarchy of Asylon. Cleon Cullom is its first Emperor. - So it was not intended to be a colony, then? Or was there simply some confusion. I suspect the latter, as the distances involved are too great.
  • 2010-05-12 D'Hara - City of Port Raviel revolts, joining Caerwyn.

Spring

  • 2010-05-17 - City of Port Raviel revolts, declaring its independence.
  • 2010-05-19 - City of Port Raviel taken over.
  • 2010-05-25 - City of Port Raviel revolts, joining Corsanctum. - Note that Corsanctum held Port Raviel for even less time than we. It gives one pause to consider the amount of blood that has been shed over those islands. Perhaps, if this history goes well, I shall set my sights next on them.

Year 11

Winter

  • 2010-07-20 - Baal Zephon Beldragos elected as Archon. - Having been seriously injured in battle, Khephera Stormwind chose to retire to her estate rather than stand for another term.
  • 2010-07-20 - Completes colony takeover of Port Nebel to form the Theocracy of Quadrivium. Eliza Fanath is its first Grandmistress.

Year 12
