World History

The history of the world has been studied by many a historian and been a major focus of many religions. While recent history is well documented, most of history is a diffuse array of lacklustre sources and disputed events. Recent history is commonly split up into distinct eras, defined by major events both economic and cultural.

Recent history

Recent history dates back to year 0, the first year of recorded history, to present day. Only major events will be accounted for.

Information era

Era of industrialisation

• 1865: The world's first functional and programmable computer is invented in Tekkea.
• 1858: Armed conflicts in Tekkea take place, with one side being appalled and furious of the country's wars--and particularly its nuclear detonation--and the other defending the wars, and opposing the surrender. This escalates into a short-lasting civil war; after just a few months, much of the fighting fizzles out, and Tekkean nationalists have no choice but to surrender. This births the new nation of Tekkea, and soon after the military is constitutionally decided to only be for self-defence. Later the same year, a nation-wide ban on possession of firearms is passed. Countless firearms are seized and promptly destroyed; even firearms from military supplies are dismantled.
• 1857: Tekkea completes the first atomic bomb and detonates it in a desert village outside Langenthal City. The blast is so powerful it's seen all the way from Yōkoma, terrifying both Tekkeans and Radosicus alike. Infighting immediately ensues, as Tekkean forces quickly disagree on how to deal with the discovery; many high-ranking individuals wish to press the advantage they've just gained, but the majority saw no other option but to offer an unconditional surrender. An attempted military coup ensues, which is narrowly avoided. Right after, Tekkea offers their surrender and gives up Langenthal City under the one condition that Radosis helps them destroy the facility and all its contained knowledge. Radosis accepts right away, and the two nations swear to prevent this weapon from being used again. This becomes The Atomic Council. Tekkea forces Sas to join the council at the end of the year. The idea of using the nuclear process to create energy in a controlled environment is not considered possible at this time.
• 1856: Radosis takes the remains of Riverstart. The same year, Tekkean forces retake the city, only for it to be lost to Radosis again, and for Tekkea to retake it once more. This repeats several times, with the city having been traded 7 times by the end of the year.
• 1855: Tekkea marches in to take what is left of Langenthal City. Local Sas forces commit a brutal last stand, attempting to destroy the city before it's taken. Soon after Sas is forced into surrender. Remaining Tekkean troops soon find an underground manufacturing plant for nuclear weapons under the city, and continues the development.
• 1854: Tekkea demands the surrender of Langenthal City, but Sas refuses. Tekkea proceeds to bomb the city with a focus on its industrial areas, severely crippling the city's oil supply and under-construction nucler power plant. In return, Sas uses their remaining planes to bomb Shūhen Yoka. Sas pleads for Radosis to join their cause, but are refused.
• 1853: Sas declars war and attempts to lay siege to Riverend. In retaliation, Tekkean forces use bomber planes for the first time to bomb Riverstart. Sas then attacks Shōkoma and Shūhen Yoka in a combined air and ground assault but are repelled. Tekkean forces retaliate by attacking Choppington in a combined assault, utilising tanks for the first time.
• 1852: Sas begins construction of the first nuclear power plant in Langenthal City. Tekkea becomes aware of this later the same year and begins infiltration ops to hinder its process. Sas poses another ultimatum, threatening with war if it happens again. It happens again.
• 1849: The Riverend tax has become obscenely high, and Sas starts protesting it, threatening with war if it's not lowered.
• 1829: The first petrol car is commercialised but doesn't garner huge immediate success.
• 1826: An underground salt deposit is discovered in Choppington.
• 1825: Tekkea places a tax on goods passing through Riverend, which they would gradually increase over time. Later this year, oil is struck in Shiore, providing Radosis with its first oil source.
• 1823: Oil is discovered in Langenthal City.
• 1818: The first television is invented.
• 1815: The first successful oil-fuelled plane is invented.
• 1810: The first diesel locomotive is put in operation.
• 1799: Oil is discovered in Choppington, and the first petroleum-based combustion engine is invented later the same year.
• 1796: Tekkea asks for control over Riverend for its salmon production in exchange for large amounts of polished iron disguised as silver, a monument in Shōkoma and a trading town south of Langenthal City named Riverstart. Sas reluctantly accepts.
• 1780: The first diode is invented in Tekkea.
• 1745: Radosis connects Capu Terram and Novus Dies with the longest railway line in the world.
• 1714: The first successful propeller plane is invented.
• 1687: Telephone wiring is established in Sas and in Tekkea later the same year.
• 1686: Effective electrical lights are invented and gain quick success.
• 1680: The first commercial railway line is opened between Choppington and Langenthal City. More railway would eventually be built with the express purpose of carrying freight and minerals.
• 1674: Langenthal City is founded as part of a Sas expedition to seek resources.
• 1672: Coal is discovered close to Shōkoma and mines are opened, beginning an increasing rivalry in resource production between Sas and Tekkea.
• 1668: The first railroad is invented.
• 1651: Steam powered textile production is introduced to Tekkea, massively increasing productivity and marking a shift in the country's direction. Improvements in the design would continue to ramp up Tekkea's textile production.
• 1634: The steam engine is invented in Choppington, making the nearby coal deposit an incredibly valuable resource.

Silent era

• 1452: After a hard siege, Yamano Tokonoma is claimed by Ignis Montis. Shizoku Tokonoma, now without a capital city, is dissolved. A few high ranking generals flee to the two remaining Tekkean clans. In order to set up a stronger defence against any eventual invasions from Radosis, Shizoku Yōkama and Nishi-Shōkoma establish the Tekkea Dōmei; a sort of military alliance between the clans with the appearance of a full union. Over time, however, it would solidify into what was effectively one nation.
• 1451: Ignis Montis secures forces from Capu Terram and supplies from Regnum Novus Dies to reclaim Yamano Tokonoma and secure peace between the kingdoms.
• 1448: Shizoku Tokonoma attempts to carry out a long siege against Liberos Campus, but is severely weakened.
• 1424: Aquam in Litore is reclaimed by Regnum Novus Dies.

• 1412: Ignis Montis sieges and claims Aquam in Litore.
• 1404: Ignis Montis sees the success in the south and marches to reclaims Yamano Tokonoma, but fails. Tension grows between Ignis Montis and Capu Terram due to the lack of support given.
• 1402: Michi Enomon becomes vulnerable as supply lines to the remote city are interrupted by Radosicus bandits for several years. Liberium Desertis together with forces from Capu Terram marches towards the city and reclaims it swiftly.
• 1366: Shizoku Tokonoma marches towards Michi Enonom and reclaims it in a long and bloody siege. Liberium Desertis declares Brachium Imperatix temporary capital.
• 1362: During the rebuilding of Tekkea, the country fragments into three clans in what would become a cold civil war: Shizoku Yōkama in the south (controlling Yōkoma and Shūhen Yoka), Nishi-Shōkoma in the west (controlling Nishi-shi and Shōkoma) and Shizoku Tokonoma in the east (controlling Yamano Tokonoma).

• 1292: Empress Clementia seizes the Radosicus throne, marking the beginning of Radosis' bloody golden age.
• 1256: Twinleaf is founded.
• 1234: Settlers from Ihazon settle in Sas, founding New Langenthal.
• 1200: Ihazon enters a golden age of commerce and culture. Radosis scales down their consumption.
• 1055: Huge gold deposits are struck in the mountain pass of Yamano Tokonoma, making the city become an important source of income for Tekkea and a valuable trading hub for Liberos Campus, a nearby Radosicus harbour city.

Era of civilisations

• 984: Yamano Tokonoma is founded by Tekkean settlers exploring the mountainous regions west of The Great Desert.

Genus era

• 69: Earliest recorded settlement in Ihazon, Trondheim, is settled.
• 0: Beginning of civilisation as we know it. Radosis is formed together with Genus Reditus.

Ancient history

Because no recorded history before 0 exists, one can only speculate as to what the world may have looked like before. However, writings in the Book of Mist indicate a divine civilisation existing prior, and speak of a mysterious event known as The Cataclysm. The source of magic is supposedly rooted in this ancient divine civilisation. The ancient world may have looked completely different to our currently known world and could have had a link to the Godrealms mentioned in Genus Reditus. The word "world" in Gammeltunge means "Fleeting, fluctuating". This may also explain the illogical tectonic structure of our world that has puzzled geologists for ages.

The New World

• ~0 BG: Parts of the old world are scattered about, and some pieces are lapped together into new, smaller spaces under supervision of the Godrealms. The group of Demigods responsible for the Cataclysm is banished to one such space, with their magic divinity stripped from them, to live among 'mere humans'. This group would become referred to as Divine.

The Cataclysm

• ~0-100 BG: A war that knows no boundaries breaks loose, encompassing the entire world. After a hundred years of battle, it ends with a cataclysmic event that rips apart the very fabric of time and space, destroying the old world and wrecking havoc in several nearby worlds.

Era of dusk

• ~1000-100 BG: A sect of destructive Demigods brew conflict not previously seen, and test the boundaries of their power, causing power systems of time immemorial to crumble to dust.

Era of day

• ~70 000 000-1000 BG: Some of the Celeste of the Godrealms take residence, allowing Mankind to be birthed, creating and spreading powerful civilisation that would last for millions of years to come. Over time, mankind diversifies and spawn a multitude of races, with Demigods representing the descendants of the original Celeste at the top, and the magic-less Humans at the bottom.

Era of dawn

• ~100 000 000-70 000 000 BG: Magic manifests itself alongside life, giving birth to many mythical monsters and creatures.

The beginning

• ~100 000 000 BG: The old world comes to be. Soon after its creation, it is detected by the Godrealms.
