2704 years ago: Dyonna Vezia, Rose Queen of Galatia, takes the throne of that empire. In the ancient epic Ballad of the Rose Queen, it is written that she alone fought her way through the entire Phaetian ranks and confronted the Phaetian king, Aeytus. Awed by her beauty, and the fierceness in her eyes, he dropped his weapon on the spot and bowed before her as a goddess, swearing eternal allegiance. At that moment an inferno came from the heavens and seemed to consume the two, much to the despair of both warring armies. The pair emerged unscathed by the fire, however, and thereafter the two were married and their kingdoms united. During the celebration of the victory at the Kyrkus, an elephant broke through the railing separating the floor from the seats and went on a rampage, killing many in the audience. Queen Dyonna, in response, killed and sacrificed the elephant, feasting many on unusual meat, and also built a moat 15 feet wide and 15 feet deep between the arena and the seats. Aeytus announces the Eleventh Kingdom, breaking from the tradition of declaring a new kingdom upon the coronation of a new pharaoh; he also announces that his progeny shall be considered the first of a new dynasty.

2661 years ago: Aeydrin, “The Idyll King”, son of Dyonna Vezia and Pharaoh Aeytus, is crowned king of Galatia and the hundred-sixty-second pharaoh of Phaetia.

2554 years ago: Natan, “The Usurper King”, is crowned king of Galatia and the hundred-sixty-seventh pharaoh of Phaetia.

2544 years ago: The priests of the Galatian temple-city, Tavia, set Metontas on the throne as the king of Galatia and the hundred-sixty-eighth pharaoh of Phaetia. Phaetians declare this the beginning of the Twelfth Kingdom. They do not declare it the beginning of a new dynasty, establishing the current dynasty as the Galatian Dynasty, rather than one tied to any particular bloodline.

2494 years ago: Metonia is crowned queen of Galatia and hundred-sixty-ninth pharaoh of Phaetia.

2458 years ago: Emeritus is crowned king of Galatia and hundred-seventieth pharaoh of Phaetia.

2241 years ago: The Tyrant King is crowned king of Galatia and hundred-seventy-sixth pharaoh of Phaetia.

2213 years ago: The heir to the Galatian throne is kidnapped by agents of the great diviner Nod Lesirah, who has foreseen that the Galatian empire was soon to fall under the weight of its own decadence and stagnation. This kidnapping is part of the immense Plan concocted by Nod Lesirah to reduce the vast period of barbarism which he has divined the world will endure before a new great empire returns the land to peace and prosperity. The quest for the heir results in Galatia splintering into the various realms of modern Aporuë. It also, because the heir was kidnapped to Phaetia, sets the stage for the Genie War and the rise of the Prophet Bleghet (may his keffiyeh remain ever cool). This also begins a short interregnal period in Phaetia.

2187 years ago: The Genie War ends, resulting in the sinking of the Lower Kingdom. The Prophet Bleghet (may his wineskin always be full) spreads his Teachings (may they be written upon the inside of every eyelid). The first modern pharaoh (the hundred-seventy-seventh) takes the throne as a half-celestial ghost with DR 0. The Two Kingdoms are born and, with them, the Thirteenth Kingdom and a new dynasty. Every pharaoh from this point takes an additional throne name: Tum. The first pharaoh to take the name Tum is this one, Tum CLXXVII.

200 y.a.:  The Tariqa kel-Walikelbiann Vardishal is founded outside kel-Maraneh.

20 years ago: Kel-Maraneh falls, and the Dealmakers abandon it to ruin. Rumors of plagues and evil curses abound, but in truth no one really seems to know why the village died.  The Tariqa kel-Walikelbiann Vardishal just outside the village has stood as an empty ruin ever since, a reminder of a brief era in which civilization tamed the Agawu Highlands.

2 years ago A pack of gnolls called the Kulldis tribe inhabit the battle market and claim kel-Maraneh as its own.

A month ago: Almah hires Dashki.
