* '''c. 50 PR:''' The elven migration from the Helskari continent begins, with many departing the Pact for the Carcolan continent or the Lost Lands, as elves are often targeted by vampires as prey. Some vampires follow along, including an offshoot of the Helskari de Spruys family known as the Spruce family, which settles near the future site of [[Westport]].

Some vampires follow along, including an offshoot of the Helskari de Spruys family known as the Spruce family, which settles near the future site of [[Free City of Westport|Westport]].

* '''c. 150 PR:''' Gnomes emerge from elves who have settled in the Lost Lands due to increased exposure to magical Weave energy. Some return to the continents of their ancestors' origin.

* '''c. 500 PR:''' Halflings evolve from isolated human populations via island dwarfism in the Lost Lands.

* '''c. 600 PR:''' As vampires decay into spirits, vast plains in the Helsingfyrd Pact become choked with these undead spirits. Many vampires go to desperate measures to prolong their senility, and some discover bleedstone/spellstone, a magical mineral that seems to alleviate symptoms of senility.

* '''728 PR:''' The [[Azure Empire]] is founded by [[Primeros]], a golden dragon who unites many dragonkin city-states under his rule in the southern continent.

* '''862 PR:''' The Markov family rises to power in [[Charnheim]], making local humans the labor class, and the source of their vast mining wealth.

* '''987 PR:''' The [[Republic of Carcola]] is formed. Led by Isaiah Bliss, the elven colonies successfully revolt from the Helsingfyrd Pact, forming a prosperous and cosmopolitan republic based around agriculture and magical research.

* '''995 PR:''' Now at its height, the Republic of Carcola annexes the [[Moragan Islands]] as a strategic sea outpost against the Helsingfyrd Empire.

* '''997 PR:''' The Practicants of Undead Physick are formed as an international guild of mortals specializing in the enhancement of undead lucidity. They are mostly located in the Helsingfyrd Pact and recruited by the Helskari undead elite as medical professionals.

* '''c. 1000 PR:''' Edwin Spruce, a vampiric inventor of elven origin, emerges in the Free City of Westport.

* ''' c. 1050 PR:''' In [[Charnheim]], House Williams is established as human enforcers under House Markov, providing a corrupt intermediary class, getting humans to accept vampiric rule and blood tithing.

* '''c. 1150 PR:''' The Helsingfyrd Pact's navy declines in Ostholt and relocates to the ancient, abandoned city of [[Riksmal]], now controlled by mortal necromancers.

* '''1199 PR:''' The [[Crisis of Vellingham]] takes place, and causes desertification, ecological collapse, and political instability in Carcola as magical anomalies begin to multiply in the area around [[Vellingham]], and the winds grow unstable.

* '''c. 1200 PR:''' Thri-kreen begin to emerge in the growing deserts of Carcola, leading to conflict with the locals, and a rise in Carcolan migration towards the coast.

* '''1259 PR:''' In the Azure Empire, [[Proximus]] succeeds Primeros and shifts imperial focus from rulership to arena combat, gaining the love of the masses but not the elite.

* '''1264 PR: ''' The Azure Empire conquers the Principality of Narbonne, subjugating orcs and tieflings from this region under Azurean rule.

* '''1266 PR:''' The Kaab Syndicate is founded by [[Malleus Kaab]], a dragonborn in the Azure Empire who has made his fortune publishing newspapers, a new technology.

* '''c. 1275 PR:''' Edwin Spruce becomes increasingly paranoid and reclusive, obsessed with mental decay and control over mortality.

* '''1287 PR:'''
