Campaign Setting - Vaults of Pandius

BC 2700: Remnants of shattered Oltec tribes begin warring with each other across the Sea of Dread.
Twaal agents play one faction off of the other to destabilize the area.
Having learned of the existence of other surface dwellers from the Inti, the Deep Elves begin campaigns to
infiltrate and corrupt all those living under the light of the sun.
Suffering greatly from the wasting, Taymorans turn to practices of undeath to help preserve their society.
The first vampire queen is born.
BC 2650: The Twaal subjugate several Oltec tribes living on islands in the Sea of Dread and establish the
Empire of Adhuza. The empire quickly establishes dominance over other cultures in the area.
BC 2600: As climates start shifting back towards the more temperate, human nations once again strengthen
and become prominent. Several giant kingdoms band together, forming the nation of Grondheim, in the
hopes of stopping the renewed threat to their peoples.
Conflicts between the Makers and their Oltec and triton neighbors rage on and off for the next few
centuries resulting in the Refuge of the Makers being attacked on more than one occasion. Though few in
number, the Makers repulse their attackers, withstanding every assault.
BC 2580: Despite the strides made through undeath, the Taymorans find their culture fading and decide
that they must move to unspoiled lands.
BC 2576: Rafiel takes an interest in the Moadreg and prompts them to begin building a wondrous artifact
on the Bridge of Oost called the Gate of Light. Dwarven radiomancers break their traditional seclusion and
form a community around the artifact.
BC 2550: The Moadreg conflicts with their neighbors intensifies. Giants, elves, even dragons in the area,
take an immediate disliking to the plague bearing dwarves. Some of the giant tribes begin to work together
to repel the new invaders.
BC 2550: Winter recedes, and many of the great glaciers begin to shrink. As the power of the Winter
Kings lessens, Antalian society begins to fracture.
BC 2500: In Vulcania, the elven civilisation is losing its battle with the elements. The Second Migration
leaves Vulcania, and once again elves violate the territory of the Twaal. These elves are more savvy sea
travelers and are not intimidated by the ocean dwellers. Elven ships sail the seas looking for signs of the
first migration 300 years prior.
Dwarves from the Brunian migration meet refugees from Skotharian near the Bridge of Oost. The dwarves
unite with local gnomish tribes and attempt to build a home for themselves.
Taymoran humans (migrating from the northwest) settle the shores of the southern coast of Brun. They
integrate several tribes of taurans and lupins already living in the area into their culture.
BC 2490: The Twaal tritons begin a long series of disputes with the elves of Vulcania. They call upon
their immortal patrons to send a plague upon the elves.
BC 2473: Dranwyrf unites the clans and makes a final stand in the Maghkrys Mountains against the giant
and elven hordes persecuting his people. The combined strength of the dwarves crushes their enemies like
copper on an anvil. Dranwyrf is named First King of the Shimmering Lands and the site of the battle
becomes Drangyr, the first gatherhold of the Moadreg.
BC 2460: Desperate to stop the tidal wave of human expansion, the giant kings call upon the fey court for
assistance. Their pleas are heard, and the Troll Queen comes to their aid.
BC 2450: The Inti emerge from the Great Plateau and begin to rebuild their empire underneath the sun.
They come into conflict with nearby giants from Grondheim and Taymorans.
