Creation of the Universe: 1st Blossom, 1PC. The Universe was created in a blossom of pink mist. Together, Huwe and Nuwe first forged the land, then the sky, then the sea. At the end of their miracle, they gathered up the remainder of the primordial essence and together with the help of their fellow Gods, forged Dawnraiser and The Deathknell Chime. 

The First Death of the Raven: 5th Blossom, 1PC. Three brothers, Arnum, Tenebris and Thanulos, are placed on the world. In a fit of rage Tenebris murders Thanulos with Bloodscythe, the first dagger. Thanulos’s soul is snatched by both Huwe and Nuwe, and he becomes The Raven, God of fate. 

The Drach’nyen War: In 367 PC, the unholy fiendish prince Drach’nyen fused the forces of the blood war, both Demons and Devils into a single unstoppable fighting force. With his tides of chaos at his back, he marched on the gates of heaven itself. It wasn’t until twenty three solars lay broken at his feet that Drach’nyen met his match, as Huwe herself ascended the pearl gates and at the end of a mighty duel, bound Drach’nyen to his own sword. She then cast the blade down to the material plane as a punishment. 

Rise of the Von Carsteins: 401PC: The Most powerful Vampire Clan in the Convergence, the Von Carsteins rose to power on the backs of their patriarch, Maximillian Von Carstein. 

The Icewind Crisis: 14th, Snowflurry, 750PC.  Tenebris was supposed to have his moment. His undead legions were marching across the Convergence, sacking town after town in a blaze of terrifying fury. Against this implacable threat, King Arnum rallied all the races of men and beast and met the undead tide at the Battle of the Icewind Plane. It was a climatic and apocalyptic battle, the largest until The Unmaking. Of the millions that fought, King Arnum was the only known survivor. 

The First Founding: 10th Planting 755 PC. In response to the Icewind Crisis, King Arnum rallied behind his gains and formed a group of incorruptible warriors known as the Soul-Wardens, and stationed them on the isle of death and around the world, attempting to keep Tenebris and his undead sealed away forever. 

The Second Binding of Tharizdun: 1st Second Harvest 769 PC. Escaping from his own prison, Tharizdun sought to free his master Drach’nyen and return to heaven. With the world still reeling from Icewind, Arnum dispatched an up and coming mage named Bren Arcanaborn. The wizard challenged the demon to a duel, and sealed him in a magic jar. 

The First Ritual  : Eight Warmwater, 842PC. The first daughter of Mari and Jac Belfry is killed at the moment of her birth by necromantic magic. Although suspicion is never confirmed, Ophelia Arcanaborn is blamed for the death of the child. 

Ophelia’s Fall: Fifth Bloom, 875PC. In a secret mission gone horribly wrong, possibly due to the machinations of the lich-to-be, the eldest daughter of Bren Arcanaborn went to isle of death with a few close relations. She wouldn’t return for over a decade, utterly changed. 

The Belfry Conspiracy: 19th Warmwater, 1000 PC, Jac Belfry, The father of Sophrya Belfry and the Moon Lord, conspired with The Phoenix Lord to attack Alvorn, kill king Arnum and seize the throne for himself Belfry was killed by an enigmatic group known as Phoenix down.  

Defeat of the Phoenix Lord: 27th Warmwater, 1000PC. After his failed attempt to take over Alvorn, the Phoenix Lord was confronted by a group of now mythical heroes known as phoenix down. Not much is known about them, save that they were formed to combat that threat, and slipped away into the shadows once it passed. 

The Death of King Arnum: 6th Second Harvest, 1001 PT. In a blinding flash, Lich Lord Tenebris returned from his blackened crypt to rain fire and brimstone down upon the people of the world. He was met by King Arnum in the streets of Alvorn for the last time, where Arnum was killed, and Tenebris banished. 

The Great War: 7th Second Harvest, 1001 PT. With Arnum dead and Alvorn in disarray, the forces of the world conspired to attack Alvorn and force the city state to bow to their whims. As the war went on, the world was reminded of Alvorn’s magical and technological superiority, and it took only weeks for the city-state to push its borders up to Icewind. The war was ended by The Unmaking.

The New Queen: 6th First Snow, 1001PC. With Arnum dead, an election was started for the new throne of Alvorn. The two contestants were Eric Arcanaborn, the then current Blue Lord, and Sophrya Belfry, the then current Moon Lord. Sophrya was helped to the throne by the Good Crusade, and Eric was killed by the Phoenix Lord, who made a spectacular return from his defeat at the hands of Phoenix Down. 

The Unmaking: 6th First Snow, 1PT. This marks the start of the second Era. The Lich Ophelia Arcanaborn led an assault on the Alvorn Cathedral. Under the rain of her magic, the entire city was turned into the living dead, and Tenebris summoned from his prison. 

The Missing Gods: The Gods are conspicuously absent, leaving many to wonder why they didn’t intervene during the chaotic months that followed The Unmaking. Although many theories are proposed, perhaps the true reason will never be known… 

The Return of Drach’nyen: 7th Frozen Water, 1PT. After the Good Crusade regrouped from the rise of Tenebris, they launched a raid on the lair of Ophelia Arcanaborn, killing her for the first time. There, they found the sword-prison of the first fiend Drach’nyen. Moved by the power of the blade, and tricked by the fiend within, The Good Crusade accidentally let the demon back out into the world. It took him less than an hour to consolidate power in the abyss and the hells. 

The Sealing of Heaven: 8th Frozen Water, 1PT. Enraged at his imprisonment, but wary of his lack of power, Drach’nyen turned to scheming to prevent Azreal from marching down into the abyss and kill him. In a bit of genius, he bade the demon prince Jynx to forge a divine lock, and use it to seal heaven shut until Drach’nyen could consolidate his power. 

Fall of the Von Carstiens: 2nd Snowflurry, 1PT. Amelia and Nikoli Ivanof lead The Good Crusade in an attack on the Van Carstine lair, killing the patriarch, Maximillian Von Carstien. 

Daybreak: 14th, Snowflurry, 1PT. The Lich-God was defeated by a group of heros known as The Good Crusade who reforged the shattered blade Dawnraiser and dueled Tenebris. While evil has been vanquished yet again, the scars of the battle still litter the world, plunging portions of the world into chaos and limbo. 

Skybreak: 14th Snowflurry, 1PT. With the cataclysmic detonation that occured at the top of the Alvornian cathedral affecting the metaphysical landscape of the world, the once bountiful magic of the convergence has been limited. Worse still, the sky has begun to crack, falling to the ground in what can only be an ill omen. The material plane is no longer as stable as it once was, as some parts have been pitched into other planes.
