Historical Event

How the Dark Empire was broken apart and replaced by Concordia.

Agria
- 5 DA: Revolutionary council, mostly concerned with toppling and dismantling, and setting up for the next generation.
- 25 DA: Installation of rulers who are capable of building.
Godsalt Wastes
- Backstory: Was Arboria, great forest kingdom. In the early Dark Age, became Godsalt Wastes when Excrucius provoked a "Summer Miracle" from Lascivia that devastated the Telar. Developed into a bit of a Dark Age refugee civilization of small towns and nomads.
- 25 DA: Organic transformation of desperate bandit tribes into conventional nomad tribes.
Imperial Isle
- 5 DA: Revolutionary council, mostly concerned with toppling and dismantling, and setting up for the next generation.
- 25 DA: Building of the Concordia Argentum
Malocia
- Wilderness anarchy, a couple city-states.
Mercatia
- 5 DA: Wave of sudden social transformation as the rulers unmask themselves as allies of the Light the entire time.
- 25 DA: Bloody takeover of the capitalists by a sort of socialism.
Oscillia
- Backstory: Terrible war by undead. Mostly Nor (majority) and Ning (minority). Dark Empire came as humanitarian missions, but quickly turned to unmitigated domains of religious zealotry. Church of Lascivia run place, most infected by the actual Void.
- 5-35 DA: Years of anarchy, warlords, bandit kings, demon tribes.
- 35-105 DA: Long, slow repopulation, fighting bandits and warlords, swaying the hearts and minds of scared people hiding in the hills, searching out demons. Peaceful nomads roam the northlands.
Stonewall
- Backstory: Dwarfhold is the biggest city in Stonewall (dwarves fall asleep under the city), but the city was taken over by Dark Imperials, lots of Ferals hide out here. Counts are installed during the Dark Age to rule with an iron fist.
- 15 DA: Failed campaign by the revolutionary councils, the Counts of Stonewall were too well entrenched
- 50-80 DA: Armies of Concordia Argentum start making headway in conquering the Count holds. Still some hidden holdouts of dark lords in Stonewall hiding and making trouble. Governors from Concordia act as supervisors and liaisons.
Viridia
- Backstory: Ferals won civilization, because the death swamp catered more to individual might than. Those who Void whispers reached gained power more often than not.
- Pretty much no change throughout history.
