Origin

0 AD: Revelation of the Seventh Dragon Sar-Elam, the first mage, touches the consciousness of the Dragon of Order and learns the nature of matter and spirit and the higher path of power. Enlightened, Sar-Elam becomes the Seventh Dragon.

62 AD : Schism of the Seven A split occurs between the disciples of Sar-Elam, who cannot agree on the best way to follow the path forged by the Seventh Dragon. Sar-Antor founds the community of Blind Brothers, a Community of healers, seers, and embalmers who worship the Dragon of Order. Sar-Badon creates the order of Dragon Knights, a warrior brotherhood whose members discipline their flesh and mind. Other disciples led by Sar-Shazzar, the most gifted of Sar-Elam's followers, lead an exodus of mages and like-minded humans to the southern deserts, where they found the Seven Cities (the first kingdom of Magic).

330 AD: 1st Eclipse - Blood Moon War As a result of a total lunar eclipse, a large breach appears in the walls of the demon prison. Demon Princes break out and sweep across the elven lands like a greedy roller, catching the Elves by surprise. Mages of the Seven Cities, summoned to help, send their armies into battle. They experiment with demon blood, transfusing it into humans — slaves and convicted criminals. As a result, monstrous orcs appear. The allied host, reinforced by orc shock troops, triumphs over the demons. Their princes are defeated, and the remnants of their hordes are driven back into the hellish prison. After this, the second war with demons, the orcs settle in the territories of the Empire of the Falcon and in the Seven Cities. They do not receive freedom but remain on compulsory military service.

467-504 AD: Holy Wars against Orcs An orc rebellion begins in the Seven Cities, spreading to the Empire. The orcs refuse obedience to their masters and dragon-gods and declare themselves a free people. In the Empire of the Falcon, a holy war is declared against the orcs with the aim of conquering them again and converting them to the veneration of dragons. During bloody battles, the orcs are managed to be pushed back. Eventually, those among them who survived and did not repent flee wherever they can, including to the southern deserts, the northeastern steppes, and the eastern Border Islands. The Imperial fleet, preparing to pursue the orcs on the islands, perishes as a result of a powerful storm. Emperor Falcon declares that this is a sign given by the dragons and officially declares the Holy Wars completed.

512 AD: Emergence of Beastmen In the Seven Cities, beastmen (minotaurs, centaurs, harpies, etc.) are created as servants, guards, and living toys. It is claimed that they are intended to replace the orcs.

610-660 AD: Rise of the Necromancers The number and influence of Necromancers grow until they become one of the powerful political forces of the Seven Cities.

751-770 AD: Expulsion of the Necromancers - Civil War in the Seven Cities Envious of the power acquired by the Necromancers, the Mages of the Seven Cities began large-scale persecutions of the Necromancers — from seizing their property to exile and public executions. As a result, a long and bloody civil war begins. Ancient cities are destroyed, and many lands turn into wastes.

Modern Era

771 AD: Foundation of the Silver League The surviving inhabitants of the Seven Cities found the Silver League in the lands to their south — the second kingdom of mages. The Necromancers flee east, to the ghost-populated valley of Heresh.

813-822 AD: War of the Broken Staff The Necromancers attempt to crush the young Silver League, however, the mages prevail and invade Heresh. The Necromancers are completely defeated, and their kingdom is destroyed.
