mechanisms came into vogue as new ways to deal with
problems. The clockwork-repeating crossbow, the Adler
stereoscope, and other inventions of the time escalated
the wonders of Caspia and Khard to include such
things as the first practical telescopes, observatories,
and sextants for measuring the stars and distance.
Cartography advanced immensely during this time,
and cartographers and charters made the first accurate
maps of the Broken Coast and the shores of Meredius.
Naval warfare also became more prevalent. The
primitive longships of the past were obsolete. Now
rigged cutters and frigates sailed between nations
carrying casks of liquor, bolts of cloth, spice, and grain.
Trade increased and commerce grew.
The Time of The Long Sun in 822 BR marks a
downward turn in history. This drought slew Idrians in
the hundreds of thousands and forced many to vacate
the Bloodstone Marches for a more hospitable location.
Some Idrians seeking to escape drought settled near a
ruined city where water from the Harger River sat fresh
in vast stone-capped reservoirs. Lying partially buried by
the sands of time, this city possessed writing engraved on
the streets, walls, and ceilings of every structure. It was,
in fact, the remains of Ancient Icthier. The Time of the
Long Sun did not slay those who dwelt near the dusty
ruins, but the Bloodstone Marches grew immensely
over the next decade. The desert expanded from the
fringes of the Pillars of Rotterhorn to the shores of the
Cygnaran Gulf by 812 BR.
By 730 BR Caspia had claimed all of the land south of
the Dragon’s Tongue River and west of the Black River.
Midlund and Thuria had become provinces under
Caspian protection. In 712 BR the Primarch of Morrow
moved the Sancteum from the Upper Wyrmwall to
Caspia, by then called the great City of Walls.
Meanwhile, much war and strife befell the north as
the horselords of Umbrey submitted after a decadeslong
brutal campaign with the Khardic Empire. The
Umbrean princes of the Black Ring were forced to
swear fealty to the Empire in 716 BR whereupon the
Horselord Wars came to an end. Korska itself became
the eastern capital of the Khardic Empire and began
being known as Old Korska while Khardov remained the
primary seat of power in the west. As a gesture to bring
their peoples together, the Khards renamed Stasikov to
Korsk to honor the Umbrean Princes, and it became the
location of many horselord estates and holdings.
