The Kingdom of Littonia - Vaults of Pandius

HISTORY AS THE IMMORTALS KNOW IT
The rulers of Kaarjala and Littonia
conferred, and made preparations for the
onslaught that was sure to come, and not
ten years later a great horde of
humanoids and frost giants stormed forth.
For many years the defenses held, but
there were too many enemies, and it
seemed the entire north would be
overrun. Such would have happened,
were it not for the intercession of the
Sarkans Goblins, and of Namejs and
Lemminkainen (as an avatar of
Ilmarinen, the patron Immortal of
Kaarjala). Under the guidance of these
legendary heroes, the enemy host was
broken, and pushed back over the
western mountains, from which they
have not issued since. The Sarkans
Goblins who stood beside the human
forces earned the gratitude of both
nations.
Littonia Today
Since that time, Littonia has grown. A
small, but prosperous, merchant class has
arisen in the larger towns, spurring social
mobility and forging ties with
neighboring lands. More recently,
Known World traders have made contact
with the kingdom, bringing with them
new ideas as well as goods. Littonian
ships ply the northern seas, venturing to
Qeodhar, Norwold, and the Northern
Reaches. Its borders are more secure
than they have been in living memory,
and the land seems poised to enter an era
of prosperity, yet the kingdom lives
under the shadow of Frosthaven, and
other evils in the north.
Littonian Timeline
BC 3200: Elements of the Valoin people
could be found from modern
Esterhold, the eastern Alphatian
shore, Bellisaria, and the Isle of
Dawn.
BC 3000: The Great Rain of Fire shifted
the planetary axis. Resource strains
forced the Valoin people north.
BC 2800: The Valoin competed with
local Neathar tribes in the Helskir
region.
BC 2700: The Valoin occupied
uncovered segments of the Norwold
coast between modern Landfall and
Oceansend and the Isle of Dogs. One
of their Neathar competitors, the
Valharians, was partially absorbed.
BC 2500-2200: Antalians pushed the
Valoin northeast. Many of the Valoin
migrated to uncontested coastal lands
north of the Great Bay.
BC 2200: Valoin isolation led to the
generation of many dialects and
distinct identities. Those of the north
became the Litoniesu, while the
Valoin around modern-Oceansend
were the Lietuvans, though many of
the Lietuvans eventually resettled to
the north of their cousins.
BC 1763: Frost giants, led by Ulf One-
Eye led frost giants in conquest of the
lands of the Litoniesu and Lietuvans.
This became the realm of
Nordenheim.
BC 1722-20: The Antalian civilization is
destroyed by the Loark’s humanoid
hordes. Southern regions of
Nordenheim were attacked as well.
BC 1714: The frost giant citadel of
Høgborg is constructed by slave
labor.
BC 1393: Namejs was born in Piltene.
BC 1371: Namejs was falsely accused of
rebellion, and his home and family
were destroyed as a punishment. He
slew the giant responsible, igniting an
uprising.
BC 1363: Namejs’ rebels were
victorious at the Battle of Dobele,
inciting slave rebellions across the
realm.
BC 1362: Namejs sacked Høgborg and
5
killing Ulf. Surviving giants looted
what they could and retreated into the
north. Namejs proclaimed the
kingdom of Littonia. Littonians
began to colonize lands to the south.
BC 1329: Namejs vanished. His
successors concerned themselves with
their own clan rather than the nation.
Littonia began to fragment.
BC 1300: A series of wars began
between the Littonian petty
kingdoms.
BC 1250: Creation of the Kingdom of
Jūrkene.
BC 1162: Formation of the Kingdom of
Lietuvos. A 40-year civil war quickly
ensued.
BC 1122: Lietuvos collapsed into
anarchy. Large stretches of
countryside emptied, and many
weakened Litoniesu kingdoms fell
victim to humanoid raids. During this
dark age, frost giant raids grew
common.
BC 1000: Spurred by Nithians, some
Antalian tribes fled further
northwards. These movements
displaced the southern Lietuvans.
BC 700: The capital of Lietuvos was
razed. Jūrkene fragmented into four
smaller petty dominions.
BC 500: Frost giants destroyed Jūrkene.
BC 345: Alphatians sailed into the Great
Bay of Norwold and established
settlements.
BC 332: Queen Pajauta used magic and
blackmail to control the amber mages.
BC 300: The Alphatian kingdom of
Alinor is founded. The kingdom
conquers neighboring tribes and
stretches into the far western
mountains, and influences some
