Kudos to Flo for the idea. Srsly. Lines can't believe he didn't think of this earlier.

But, anyway, Phase One. Phase One of finally sorting out recent Caprecian history. Yes: recent, I still don't want to deal with the clusterfuck of the period between the Second Great War and now.

So what shall I do instead? Why, address the actually important part: what happened in the last thousand and some years and how we got to where we are today.

How shall this be coordinated across Caprecia? Why, I'll focus mainly on Zaroca (arguably the center/'heart' of Caprecia) and then let you guys take what's written and roll with it.

Given the considerable distances and the distribution of great powers, it's also arguable that the regions developed relatively independent of one another--though, of course, there will be points of contact. Particularly during the larger events.

So what do I wanna see, exactly? Overviews and larger events for now. We can go into detail later (potentially also distribute writing said detail to interested parties).

What am I talking about, pray? Something vaguely similar to Flo's thread up there--one-sentence summaries for stuff and things that happened.

For example, for Zaroca:
  • The Classical Era (1900-1201 BRE)
    • The Rise of First Verenburgian Empire (1900-1700 BRE)
    • The First Magilani Imperium (1850-1650 BRE)
    • Kyoman Conquest of Atholanian Islands (1800-1750 BRE)
    • The First Zanarite Pan-Jintikian Empire (1750-1300 BRE)
    • Kyomans Stretch Southward (1600 BRE)
    • Decline of the First Verenburgian Empire (1500-1300 BRE)
  • The Iron Era (1200-201 BRE)
    • The First Verenburgian Empire Thrives Again (1200-1000 BRE)
    • The Eastern Raiders (1100-700 BRE)
    • The First Verenburgian Empire Declines (900-800 BRE)
    • The Second Magiliani Imperium (850-500 BRE)
    • The Resurgence of the Hadarite and Thecian Churches(850-700 BRE)
    • The Great Holy Wars (700-400 BRE)
    • The Second Verenburgian Empire (550-450 BRE)
    • The Andresian Plague (320-300 BRE)
  • A Changing Spectrum (300 BRE - 0 RE)
    • The Age of Exploration (250-160 BRE)
    • The Trade Wars (180-120 BRE)
    • The Sunrise/Far Eastern Invaders/Ships/Traders (90-40 BRE)
  • The Birth of an Era (1 RE-100 RE)
    • The Fredrichian Wars (15 BRE-0 RE)
    • Treaty of Jandrea ushers in a new age in Zarocan politics (0 RE)
    • East Urocan Industrial Revolution Begins (20-30 RE)
    • The Second Age of Imperialism (50-160 RE)
    • Spread of the Industrial Revolution (55-100 RE)
  • The Renaissance Era Explodes (101-200 RE)
    • The Time of Troubles (90-160 RE)
    • The Great Zarocan Thinkers (120-180 RE)
    • The Second Industrial Revolution (160-200 RE)
  • The Modern Renaissance Era (201-Present)
    • The Rise of Today's Great Powers (210-240 RE)
    • The Spread of Democracy (230-270 RE)
    • The Deltorian-Lanlanian Wars (250-320 RE)
    • The Spread of Socialism (280-310 RE)


SOPURTYSOSUPPAPURTY. What now?

We expand on that. Later. Lines is tired.

Right now, though, I'd like to discuss the basic stuff (hint: that up there), and possible reply to this. Once I can add to this (likely tomorrow!), I might encourage certain some of you to throw together similar stuff for your own regions. ;P

Heh thanks for the shoutout. Those one-sentence summaries are going to eventually become links to various posts about each period throughout the topic. That was my plan anyway

Talamhle Chéile only achieved independence in the 220s.
That's fine; we can find you a foreign conqueror. Lines looks at Lanlania.

Hehe. We can discuss it more as the thing develops. As Talamhle is a bit Irishy, it could have spent some time under Zanaro? Zanaro is technically half-Irish.

I do like the idea of there being a first Zanarite Empire before the diveded states era, and then the rise of the Kroviuns, leading to the second empire! I would like to help work on this, both for Zanaro's history and the Cardohesian/So'Karsan/Ardorran/Flores/Castleon histories. :)

Coo'. The point is to just draft the overview, then let peeps fill in the specifics for their own nation. The Time of Troubles particularly is meant to signal a time of a fair number of conflicts between/within periphery powers. Lanlania had it's civil war around that time, I think. Gonna update that thing. >.>

I've expanded a bit on the classical era. Thoughts? It's still a WIP, obviously, and I'm hoping some might volunteer to write/build on the what's there.

On a vaguely related note, I'm thinking it might be prudent to add some happenings on East Uroca, /maybe/ West Uroca as well. Just saying, partially as I'm not too sure what. >.>

Edit: yes, that library forum might end up where we stuff the histories, unless we spawn a forum for them under the ICOR. Both might work.

I think messing with Deltoria's history would add some good fluff to all of this. Perhaps there can be a bit either in the classical or iron period about the rise of a Deltic Reich, in the style of the HRE. Actually it should probably hapen in the Iron Age following the decline of Verenburg. This also prompts the return of the Thecian Church as it takes hold in the Deltic feudal Reich. This would allow Deltoria to play around with the holy wars and the age of exploration. Then sometime in the Changing Spectrum era there should be a Deltic Schism, where Deltoria breaks apart probably over complications with the royal family. This break leads to three weak leaders of a bunch of feudal states. The area each of the leaders control would eventually become Deltoria, Lagniath, and Shermany. What do you think?

Well, as for Kubaniza; Kubanizan troops would probably be heavily involved in the Great Holy Wars (considering it is among the few majority Thecian nations). Also, maybe we could mention somewhere about Kubanizan pirates harassing the Charis Sea and adjacent nations?

In East Uroca, perhaps this?:

Med's history basically contains the Aemerion family and their men landing in East Uroca and establishing a kingdom there (modern day Medaveii), however it would be quite odd to have them simply decide to move to the inner-most, mountainous part of the subcontinent to establish said kingdom. So perhaps (and I believe you mentioned an idea of this earlier), the Aemerions landed on the eastern coast of East Uroca and established their kingdom along that coast and into the mountains as well. Lanlania rises, invades mainland East Uroca, and enters a long conflict with the Medaveans, over time forcing them inland.

Meanwhile, Kubaniza is also pushing against Medaveii from the west. Though both of them see the danger of the upcoming Lanlanian kingdom and so become allies and stop Lanlanian expansion inland.

Meanwhile, the Sainamese and Ichamurians are doing things. kk?

To be honest, I almost like this format more than the typical "timeline" format, since its much less specific and lets more general history get out as opposed to random specific events. If you need a hand with anything just ask. I enjoy building history... and the timeline has been pretty sleepy recently :P

FULL SPEED AHEAD MR LINES!

The First Deltic Reich (1200-900 BRE)
Composed of countless local tribes, warlords, and independent, minor city-states, modern-day Deltoria, Lagniath and Germany Shermany remained largely divided until the mid-13th century BRE, when ambitious leaders subjugated neighboring lords and setting the seeds for Deltorian Deltic feudalism. In the 12th century BRE, Deltorian imperialism would enter full swing as Thecianism encouraged the multiple leaders to unite the country. A unified Deltorian state would not last long, however, as the last great Arbiter's children split the country.

1608-1574 BRE: Aiding the Jandreans
Deltic tribesmen from modern-day Shermany participate in the Jandreans' struggle against the Verenburgian Empire.

1435-1390 BRE: Incursions into Verenburg
Verenburgian weakness and a growing population compels the Sherman tribes to enter and settle in southern Verenburg.

1320-1230 BRE: The Hundred Warlords
Deltic people naturally gravitate towards stronger leaders and the tribes are steady united under fewer leaders. Cities explode in number and population, especially Badenburg.

1210-1180 BRE: The Thecian Arbiter and the Rise of the First Reich
Travelers arrive from the east west, bringing the words of Thecian Hadar. Landing in Badenburg, they encourage the local warlord count to spread the faith and dub him Arbiter. He'd start over a century of warfare in the Deltorian plains to unite the Deltic people.

1150-1080 BRE: The Deltic Wars
Countless wars plague the Deltorian plains as multiple lords adopt Thecianism and attempt to unit the country under their leadership. By 1084 BRE, most of the plains would be united under the Dellanenan Arbiter.

1050-1020 BRE: The Jandrean Wars
A new Arbiter attempts to subjugate the Jandreans of modern day Atharon and Jandrea. The wars would largely be a failure, with the Deltorians unable to cross the Enteralia Alps and being expelled from Jandrean's heartlands. Some Deltorians, however, would stay in Atharon and intermingle with the local Jandreans leading to the Atharonian ethnicity.

1020 BRE: The Four Arbiters
The wars would also be cut short by the death of the Arbiter on the battlefield, leading to his four sons dividing the kingdom empire between themselves to avoid civil war. The kingdom empire would remain splintered for centuries to come. Two of these new kingdoms set the basis for what is today Shermany and Lagniath.
