Roulean Calendar (RC)
| |
---|---|
0 RC | Roulea marks the beginning of its calendar with the founding of the capital by offspring of the gods.[1] |
Long after the Rouleans had brought imperial order to the lands around the Ironsea, the tribes that would become the nations of Viamont and Aluvia remain chaotic and disorganized.[2] | |
286 RC | Ryu Jou Gai, the Order of the Dragon Temple, is founded.[3] |
486 RC | The prophet Jojii receives revelations from the Unicorn of Grace on how to reach Paradise. Jojii begins to teach of four primary precepts, called the Four Stones: Humility, Discipline, Detachment and Compassion. This new religion comes to be called Jojiism.[4] |
787 RC | Beginning of the reign of Pwyll II in Aluvia.[5] |
793 RC | The Tanada clan of the Nanjou Shou-Jen arises in the midst of a minor territorial war between the warlords Fansin Hanu and Kosu Jainan[6] |
804 RC | Year of the Comet. The dust-light of the Comet of 804 glowers over the land of Aluvia - the harbinger of the Grand Armada of Viamont.[5][7]
|
810 RC | The traditional highland fortress of the Aluvian Kings, Thrushhaven, is deemed too old and remote for Alfric's purposes, so he establishes a castle in Celdon. On an island on the Canfeld River in the center of Celdon, the island marketplace is razed, and construction begins on a magnificent, airy white marble palace in the Viamontian style, known simply as the Tower of Alfric.[7] |
824 RC | End of the reign of Alfric, Overlord of Viamont, in Aluvia.
|
854 RC | Theolaud dies. The details of his death are unclear. Some claim assassination, others claim he died in a "king's Duel" against King Elous VIII of Viamont. He is succeeded by his daughter, Alfrega.[5][7] |
Alfrega marries Kirne, a royal son of Milantos. Alfrega maintains sole control over Aluvia.[7] | |
Alfrega blames the Aluvian peasantry for the death of her father.
| |
860 RC | The open rebellion of the Orts begins. A farmer, Dunol, and his three children are to be executed on a Leafcull morning. The previous night, Harlune of Feirgard had smuggled out Dunol's three children. Harlune had to rest and was not able to save Dunol. On the day of the execution, the crowd had expected four executions but witness only that of Dunol. As Dunol lay dying, a cry comes out from the balcony on the Tower of Alfric where Alfrega witnesses executions. There is a struggle with an assailant, who leaps off the balcony after guards come to the defense of the Queen. The assailant, Harlune, lands on execution platform, where the remains of Dunol lay strewn about, throws back his hood and proclaims, "The time has come for the Mad Queen to be thrown down!" then disappears into the crowd.[7] |
860 RC | After Harlune's act in Celdon, the elder warrior Hendac Tharesun, the firstborn of Pwyll II's seneschal and effective leader of the Orts for several years, seeks out Harlune and becomes his mentor. The two travel throughout Aluvia finding those who mutter quietly against the Throne, urging them to go into hiding in the Luparvium Mountains. Many do, establishing camps there.[7] |
861 RC | Tharesun and Harlune seek out the hidden mountain camps of Orts throughout the year. The castle of Holdfast is established at one of those camps.[7] |
Harlune and Urbex the Venerable enchant a rosequartz ring Harlune had taken from the body of Dunol. It is named the Rose of Celdon. The ring is used by many agents of the Orts.[7] | |
Colrim, an agent of the Orts, betrays the group while rescuing prisoners from the Tower of Alfric.[7] | |
868 RC | In the foredawn of 23rd Wintersebb mercenary soldiers of the Queen descende upon the safe havens of the Orts in all quarters of Celdon. 83 are seized and brought into the courtyard of the Tower. They are all slain. The body of Colrim is later found, his throat slashed by a dagger of exquisite craftsmanship. The Rose of Celdon is lost on this day.[7]

1261 RC | Portals to Dereth begin to appear on Ispar. At first, they only appear in Aluvian lands.[1][11] |
1261 RC | Good king Cedraic reigns in Aluvia. Cedraic opens up trade with nations across the sea including the Gharu’ndim and the Sho and with that trade comes prosperity. To the west, however, Viamont bides: it will only be a matter of time before war returns to the land.[8]
|
1272 RC | King Varicci di Corcosi launches simultaneous attacks on Roulea and Aluvia. After early victories in Aluvia, the Aluvians put up a resistance, and the war falls into a stalemate.
