-**[[history:potk|Purge of the Kurago]]** (10061 10063)+All years are given relative to the founding of the ancient Dahabu Empire, as SF (Since Founding) or BF (Before Founding). For further details on the timelines and histories of each nation, see the [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uySnI4MKgMYUKsM9KHrripgPWHgKg-EIe_q-U-w_BE4/edit?usp=sharing|Cahyali Historical Initiative]] landing page. 
 + 
 +**[[history:modernagec|The Modern Age]]** (~10000 SF-Present, Worldwide) 
 + 
 +  * The Modern Age is marked by adventuring becoming a commonplace profession across Cahyali. Adventurers with various backgrounds, alliances, and motives have become a major driver in the course of history. 
 + 
 +**Mafia Era** (9900-10020 SF, [[settings:cahyali:arenti|Arenti]]) 
 + 
 +  * During this time, a variety of organized crime families ruled Arenti, bypassing all governmental attempts to curb their power. These groups have since spread out all over the world, now operating in all of Eastern Cahyali. 
 + 
 +**Violet Rain Plague** (9735-9945 SF, [[settings:cahyali:vervand|Vervand]]
 + 
 +  * A highly contagious disease hit Vervand during this time in three distinct waves, greatly affecting the environment of the Alliance (economically and culturally) despite its relative localization to Vervand. 
 + 
 +**Ley'Ork Occupation of Splint** (9530-9800 SF, [[settings:cahyali:splint|Splint]]) 
 + 
 +  * Following the defeat of the Zinaparo Kingdom, Ley'Ork has held a tight grip over the Splintian peninsula and made persistent efforts to quash and assimilate local culture. In 9500, another front with Pthora diverted Ley'Orkian attention, resulting in Splint revolutionaries being able to throw off foreign control. 
 + 
 +**The Fist of God Incident** (8518 SF, [[settings:cahyali:ruefang|Ruefang]]) 
 + 
 +  * A guild of mysterious wizards in this time attempted to pry the Ruefang leyspring from the ground using an enigmatic ritual. This ritual went wrong in the last moments, resulting in the destruction of over half of the Ruefang continent and leading to intense magical corruption in the area. To Ruefangren and Raikoujin, the Fist of God is equal in its destruction to the Day of Solar Wrath. 
 +  * This event also led to the splitting of the [[settings:cahyali:raikougan|Raikougan Archipelago]] from mainland Ruefang. An event known as the Cloudfall isolated the islands: an eternal, impassable storm. This storm would not be dispelled for 300 years. 
 + 
 +**Fall of Shuibian** (7892 SF, [[settings:cahyali:ruefang|Ruefang]]) 
 + 
 +  * It is unclear how the invasions started, but leading up to the turn of the seventh millennium, demonic invasions from the [[settings:planes:beneath|Beneath]] ravaged Ruefang and eventually led to the fall of the Shuibian Dynasty. This invasion was only driven away with the help of the dragons. This marked the beginning of dragon worship and veneration in the Abundant Expanse.  
 +  * Infernal energies, combined with runaway leyline radiation, sank into and altered orcish populations of Ruefang. This resulted in their eventual adaptation into a new [[lore:races:supernatural#infernal_origin|demonic race,]] known as the //Kijin.//((For more information on the Kijin, please contact Noah Kauffman (@bluekid) via Discord.)) In the thousands of years since, the Kijin have faded into nothing but fairytales and legend.  
 + 
 +**Dynastic Era** (7524-8518 SF, [[settings:cahyali:ruefang|Ruefang]]) 
 + 
 +  * Following the fall of Dahabu, Ruefang passed hands between four dynasties, each leaving their distinct marks on the culture of the region. 
 + 
 +**[[settings:cahyali:dahabu:solarwrath|Day of Solar Wrath]]** (7524 SF, [[settings:cahyali:dahabu|Dahabu]]) 
 + 
 +  * No one knows exactly how this calamity occurred, or why it only affected the Dahabi, the world over. Records are clear: at high noon on the summer solstice of 4524, the sky boiled red. The Dahabu continent was scorched in firestorms, becoming a desert wasteland - and no matter where they were on the planet, over 90% of Dahabu citizens were killed, with those who survived losing their souls.  
 + 
 +  * Some scholars compare this incident to the Elvesbane plague in Jaernian history, and point to the similarities as proof of the two planes' mysterious fated link. 
 + 
 +**Esrior's Fold** (~6000 SF, Worldwide) 
 + 
 +  * During the height of Dahabu's global reign, a faultline appeared ringing known Cahyali. It persists to this day and is magical in nature, creating seas rough enough to sink any ship and winds strong enough to crash any aircraft. [[gods:mishra|Mishra]] and [[gods:neptune|Neptune]] have claimed responsibility for its creation, but have given no word on their motive. 
 + 
 +**Sinking of Quetzalcamina** (~5000 SF, [[settings:cahyali:itlanyouali|Itlan-Youali]]) 
 + 
 +  * Hounded by the forces of the Pharaoh, the Tonameyoti Atlaca people made the decision to fully retreat underground and seal themselves into the underground realm of Itlan-Youali. Evacuations began, and the aboveground capital of Quetzalcamina sunk into the depths, hidden forever just as Dahabi armies appeared on the horizon... 
 + 
 +**Ancient Dahabu Imperial Era** (~4600-7524 SF, Worldwide) 
 + 
 +  * Under the rule of Pharaoh Anpu-Khasti, Dahabu swept across the world and leveraged their immense arcane power to conquer ten out of the eleven modern-day countries of Cahyali. Pthora was the only one to resist. Every Cahyalian nation still bears the scars of Dahabi colonization to this day, though millennia of time has let them fade. 
 + 
 +**Shinnean Rule** (3010-4679 SF, [[settings:cahyali:shinneok|Shinneok]]) 
 + 
 +  * The Shinnean Kingdom invaded the rest of the Oxian subcontinent in antiquity, exerting control over the regions that have now become Vervand and Arenti. This occupation lasted until Dahabu's arrival. Remnants of Shinnean culture are pervasive across the Oxis Alliance. 
 + 
 +**Founding of Dahabi Empire** (1 SF, [[settings:cahyali:dahabu|Dahabu]]) 
 + 
 +  * Due to the sweeping colonization of Cahyali by ancient Dahabu, the Dahabi calendar is still used to this day. It uses a reckoning date of the Empire's founding.
  
-Lost Records (10064 - 10076)+**Rise of Mortalkind** (~300,000 BF~3500 SF, Worldwide)
  
-**[[history:modernage|The Modern Age]]** (10076 Present)+  * It is thought that the first mortals on Cahyali were **[[lore:races:humanoids#elves|elves,]]** originating on the Dahabu landmass. Scholarly consensus seems to follow that they arose from a form of primate touched by extraplanar energies, likely from the Kurago or Dreaming.  
 +  * **[[lore:races:humanoids#dwarves|Dwarves]]** were soon to follow, sailing in and alighting in the mountains of Pthora from the east in about 1000 SF. Little is known about the homeland of the dwarves from beyond Esrior's Fold, but some Pthoran historians have termed it "Nidaheim".  
 +  * **[[lore:races:humanoids#humans|Humans]]** are believed to have originated in a continent, now inaccessible due to Esrior's Fold, somewhere north of Shinneok. This place was connected to Shinneok by a land bridge in ancient times, and humanity has occupied known Cahyali since about 1500 SF. 
 +  * **[[lore:races:humanoids#halflings|Halflings]]** arose in the Ulos area following human migration southward. Humans and halflings gradually diverged, with halflings undergoing a phenomenon known as island dwarfism, which is believed to contribute to their small stature. The oldest report of halflings being referred to as a distinct race is in about 3500 SF. 
 +  * A population of halflings is believed to have migrated into the Dreaming about 5,000 years ago, being touched by the plane's esoteric energies and eventually becoming **[[lore:races:humanoids#gnomes|gnomes.]]** Following a cataclysm in the Dreaming, many gnomes returned to Cahyali in about 8,000 SF. 
 +  * Most **[[lore:races:lizards|lizards]]** came to be in the Dahabi deserts. From there, some were touched by draconic energies, becoming the Draconics we know today. Kleemudor are believed to have crash-landed from the Onra system planet around 4700 SF. Semi-Aquatics immigrated from Jaern shortly after first contact with the plane was established. 
 +  * **[[lore:races:orcish|Orcs]]** are believed to have first evolved from an extinct carnivorous mammal in the Heartlands area, with normal orcs being the first, followed by giantkin and goblins after centuries of isolation in the mountains and on the coasts, respectively. Beasthides insist they were divinely created by [[gods:osiris|Julius (Osiris)]], and scholars have failed to come to a consensus on their origin. 
 +  * **[[lore:races:avians|Avians]]** migrated into the continent later on, arriving from the north. The name of their original homeland has been entirely lost, though upon arrival the mobile groups of Avians quickly spread out and assimilated with other extant communities.
