#rivermoot

So here is a list of odd facts about Ringwaldt that are fun prompts for questions.

Orcs hold a deep respect to High Elves and Dulcen Elves for the rivalry between the heads of the Elven pantheon with Gruul.

Gnomes are descended from Elves

Dwarves are descended from Giants and Half-Giants

Halflings are descended from Humans

Goblins are descended from Orcs.

Goblins are all Female

A Hobgoblin is the result of a Goblin and a Orc or Half Orc having a child.

Rivermoot has attempted two invasions of Dragons Reach in the last 20 years each time losing its current King

The Parliament of Storms is a collection of minor storm deities who squabble over who represents a particular storm

In Eriona they utilize Raptor Mail which involves trained Velociraptors delivering packages.

Amazons are a cultural grouping of half-giants from the region of Saadis in Arcadia.

Boring Homework today sorry folks!!!

Today I’m gonna ramble about the history making in Ringwaldt both how it is chronicled world wide and in general.

First and foremost Era’s are ended at major events globally such as ‘The Star Fall’

An Era gets its name from the event that causes it to start usually.  Or at least that is my current thoughts

So that means the Star Fall happens and resets the Calenders to 0.

The current year after the star fall is 524.  Or abbreviated to SF524.

(No you are right its kind of a mess and i’m only posting the events not the details or context for each)

(Cute dragon to break things up he needs a hug!)

There are a few of the events here with a + symbol, that indicates they occur during at some point post that year.  I am unsure of where exactly I want them to occur.

Obviously I also need additional events and some historical internal conflicts that have yet to be included.  This is just the rough messy version

Side Note I’ve been using Kid Gilgamesh art to reflect King Wylem of Rivermoot, as he’s only 15.  Which is why in early Ringwaldt notes Rivermoot, is sometimes entitled Boy Kingdom or the Kingdom of Boy.

I feel like Kratos going ‘boy’ every time I bring that up.

As a note I have about 50 events that don’t even have a rough year which were not included.

Ranging from a Suhveir rebellion to Suhndar.  Major changes in minting coins in Arcadia.  Various assassination attempts of Endra of Dragons Reach

Now I end you all off with this be wonderful gif.

The full timeline document for rough reference stands at 85 Pages.

Formerly a region or rather subcontinent off the western coasts of Rivermoot, Aghul this large island was the home of the Dark Elf Empire.

The Empire was not really an Empire but 4 to 8 Kingdoms of varying power competing for control of the region and raiding the various  nations for the industry of empire.

So what changed?

500 years ago a plan was hatched.

The Dark Elf pantheons had devised a plan to absorb 1 or more of the Elven Deities and for reasons unknown the ritual failed stripping her of all her Mantles and thus making her body fully mortal.

Which led to this as her body struck the region her death also  causing a great plague and drought to hit the region crippling the nearby kingdoms for years.

(Not the destruction was less widespread and less fiery)

So over night the population of a powerful group of loosely allied kingdoms was reduced to from 3 Million to just  over 600,000.  Or just around 20% of the dark elf population world wide.

So what happened to that 600k?

300k  Were already spread across Aghul, Rivermoot, and Arcadia.  Along with many living in the Faerie Realms

But what about those in the Star Fall?

Around 25k gathered the remnants of the navy and attempted a assault/colonization effort on the Suhndaran Empire  believing this a test of the goddess.  The exact reasons for these actions range from temporary madness from grief to the bold idea that other kingdoms also must have suffered.

Around 25k Would travel west making landings across Koruna, Eriona, and Noleum.

Around 150k would stay within the Star Fall to attempt to recolonize and recover from the destruction and devastation.  It is unknown the exact numbers of who survived the following years as the region was heavily devastated.

The last 50k would travel south.

The exodus of the dark elves loss of their pantheon has radically changed them as a people.  And even with their recoverable numbers the spread and losses thanks to sunken ships and internal conflict post the Star Fall only hurt them more.

The Modern Star fall is only recently begun to be explored by other kingdoms as the region was nigh impossible to navigate or even enter.

The Star in question was Koryinth’s Corpse its exact size being unknown but it shattered the region.

Pieces of her and her  angels still wash ashore across the star fall and Aghul’s coast and are incredibly valuable for magical items thanks to the powerful innate magic left.
