Consider we might have an influx of RPers, I'll change the title of this thread for the sake of a general answer. If Steel wants to place this elsewhere or merge it into another thread (like Discussion), I'm cool with that.
First off: Refer to the map and world guide for a bunch of info. If you're interested in history, then the full timeline is also a good read. Chikara's rise to power and the destruction of the old lands are covered in that timeline as well, so I'll skip over that bit and summarize the events that have happened since Calatia and Koridai were founded.
(Note that some threads take place in the past, and will be marked as such in their opening post.)
Two Years Ago
- The old dorms and nations are destroyed when Chikara becomes the latest avatar of the God of Chaos (thread: "To End an Empire"). Survivors migrate south to avoid the magical fallout and subsequent curse. With the Alliance and dorms gone, their former colonies on the the other continents (see map) become independent.
One Year Ago
- Calatia and Kordiai are founded, and both grow at rapid speed. Both dorms build up arms immediately. This is a cold war sort of year - no attacks, just focus on building up their infrastructure and military.
This Year (threads in chronological order)
- Thread "Red Dawn." Steel, Ransom and Solomon provide the first 'shot' of the inevitable war between Calatia and Koridai. They attack a vital Calatian supply route known as the Chasm of Wyrms and slaughter all the troops stationed there. This is the declaration of war.
- Thread "The Loss of Selena." Selena is en route to the Chasm of Wyrms to reinforce the troops there, but Chikara attacks her in the mountain passes during a blizzard and stabs her in the gut. Selena nearly loses her life, but, with a bit of magic, is able to keep herself stabilized until help arrives. However, most people assume Selena is dead until she returns to Calatia a while later. With their success at the Chasm and with the 'death' of Selena, Koridai has a huge morale boost.
- Threads "Spreading the Word" and "First Contact." Koridai establishes an alliance with the foreign, advanced nation of Virrat on the central continent. Calatia allies itself with Virrat's rival, Vildmark - also more technologically advanced than the western dorms.
- Thread "The Future of the Empire." The Koridian diplomatic teams return home and plot their next moves. Chikara is "haunted" by Selena, who is actually just a manifestation of Chik's overly excited psycho imagination. This "haunting" proves to be a mental warning gone unchecked due to Chik's suppression of her powers, as news of Selena's not-death reaches Koridai. The people begin to whisper that Chikara doesn't have the power to stop Selena, but these rumors are quickly crushed.
- Thread "The Halls of Snowpeak, first part." An injured Selena returns to Calatia and resumes leadership of her dorm after fighting her way home. Chikara comes to visit and cause mayhem in response to Selena having sparked the rumors of Chik's "weakness." The two mostly end up drinking at the bar. - End Part I -
- Thread "Money For the Cause." Leo and Rhiannon lead a team to recover some gold from mercenaries, but it turns out to be a trap. Not a Koridian trap, but an Alliance one. Remnants of the Alliance, sponsored by their allies in the nation of Andiel, have moved into the southlands to conquer both Calatia and Koridai. Calatia dispatches this first group of Alliance soldiers.
- Thread "Halls of Snowpeak, second part." Selena and the warriors recovered in the Money for the Cause thread reflect and get their next mission in order.
- "Monster of the Deep" takes place around this time, in which heroes slay a big kraken thing.
- "Jockey's Accident." The Solomon and Egann show.
- "Witch of Voodoo Isle." The Calatian elite soldiers head to Korento to find a witch promising them a way to defeat Chikara.
- "To War." Chikara leads the Koridians against a large number of Alliance troops - her first time leading troops personally in many years.
...
- "Siege of Aydin's Keep." Takes place in the distant past, during the war between the Labyrinth of Doom and Hall of Heroes.
- "The Past." Takes place in the past.
....I think that's it?
