History

Year 0

Anima Creates Elistus and all major gods. In turn all gods immediately take on their roles of creating the lesser gods and life on the planet. For many years the gods themselves lived among the many races that they created, but after a few hundred years they just disappeared and that’s when their children were left to their own devices.

Year 488

After the gods had left the land the races began to spread across Elistus from Taerfon. Spreading out and gradually creating their own countries.

Year 1072

Humans spread throughout the land faster than all other races, discovering relics, and cities once occupied by the many gods, they began study into creation itself in doing so they were the first race to discover and use magic.

Year 1182

Taerfon is completely reestablished and the Elves begin rounding up and enslaving any and all humans. Some revolts arise, but are quashed without any trouble. A small army of the human race were out to the East. The Feltish army knowing that the King had been slain and the Capital taken begin traveling east toward the Unresting Ocean with a large army of goblinoids on their tail.

Year 1191

Under the orders of the Elven Magi a great wall is established between Fellwier and the mainland. Charging the large army of goblinoids to stay and guard the wall as their punishment for letting the humans escape. Thus, the country of Hubrak was established.

Order of the Magven is formed by Nyvorilas Del Morcan High King of Taerfon (An elite order charged with managing magic, and it’s users)

Year 1193

Guilds are established by the Magven.

Year 1200

It has been 10 years since the barrier of Felwier was erected, and was the first major Summer Festival to be held since the time of the gods. An innumerable amount of people went to the birthplace of the races to celebrate this event of giving thanks to the major gods for 10 years of peace at the summer solstice.
  • Death Curse: Acererak shows up during the festival to invite any who would venture to find his Tomb of Annihilation and end the Death Curse. Opening a portal in the center of the city to a land called Chult, almost completely unknown in the civilized lands.
  • Sir Dane Antemosyne and Artaeus Malifest kill Acererak, and the evil god he was trying to bring into the world on the 26th day of itiin. Which is now Antefest. (A day to celebrate adventurers)
  • Only a handful of adventurers returned from Chult.
  • The Death curse persists.

Year 1201

An unknown being who calls itself Leorn sweeps across the land killing all in his path.
  • Large swaths of people begin fleeing to Gilnaeth, with stories of Leorn consuming entire cities.
  • The guilds send their strongest members to defeat the threat.

Year 1203

Refugees completely stop coming into the city, nothing had been heard from the other nations for several months, the guild halls are all completely empty for all the adventurers have either left to stop the threat or left the call to adventure altogether.

Year 1205

As the silence from outside the city becomes overbearing, people become restless. Over the past month you hear a story of a small boy being ran over by a horse and buggy being revived by his father Cleric John Olgers. People seem to perk up with this tale, and the once somber streets seem to be filled with laughter and joy once again. As people begin to wonder what has happened out in the world and why its ill fate did not come this direction. You see flyers all over the city, A Call to Adventure, What Lies Beyond the City, The World Awaits!, as guilds pop up all over the city looking for recruits. Walking down the road you see one that catches your eye There and Back Again- An Adventurers Tale. You pick it up and say “Why not.” As you make your way to the address on the flyer.

Current Year 0 GR

Shortly after the new guilds started to form the one known as Leorn visited the great Island of Taerfon. After consuming an old god and fighting back another he managed to eat the Seat of the Gods. A creation of the old gods that tied them to this realm. By completely consuming the artifact, and the entire city of Gilnaeth with it. Leorn was able to lay claim to Elistus itself without any powerful enough to challenge him. He quickly moved to recreate a new pantheon. First Recruiting Relic (God of humans and choice), and shortly after the True Smith (God of Crafting).
