"Despite our best efforts, we do not know everything. How can we determine fact from fiction? Did Ker receive divine insight or was he a madman? Did the Thilassi really ride on the back of giants? We might not know. But we can draw conclusions, we can hypothesize, and we can use the mind that whatever God or Gods gave us."

Lost Era (LE)

 * Circa. 1 LE: Humans originating the Dalmari straits settle in Northeastern Ennebrin. Our few remaining pre-LE sources from Hill-folk and Keen Elves are almost archaic and unreadable. Our only recounting from stone tablet in Old Lundish that recounts the human arrival, persumably Hill-folk living along the Affren coast. "They came from the north on bulky ships of dark wood. They spoke an unfamiliar tounge. Their hair was black like ours, but they were weak looking and malnourished. Faces too thin, too tall and gaunt. Strange people. I hope the Elder sends them back to their demon lands.
 * Circa. 200 LE: The Dalmari people thrive.
 * Circa. 300 LE: The Toth Empire rises to prominence in Inner Ennebrin, Rasa, and Kast, composed of a coalition of Dwarves, Elves, and Humans.
 * Circa. 700 LE: The elven population is decimated by a plague humans are carrying. They lack resistance to the disease. They die in droves.
 * Circa. 750 LE: The Toth Empire falls to Hill-folk barbarians, the last Elven stronghold Ylve Ennore falls to the Great Blight.
 * Circa. 800 LE: King Hawend establishes the city of Deter in the ruins of Ylve Ennore, founding the Deter Empire. Deter preaches the great name of Ishna.

Era of Empires (EE)

 * Circa 50 EE: In what is now referred to as Inner Ennebrin, the Leer Empire is founded with the discovery of the Wrought Crown within the Cormounts.
 * Circa. 100 EE: Around this time, travelling priests and clergy originating from the Great Coast start preaching the name of Oneir. The Deter empire denounces Ishna and King  Alled creates the Holy Church of Oneir, with the assistance of his wife.
 * Circa. 200 EE: The Thilass Empire is founded in the Lower Embrace by King Rervor the Pious. The first Oneir worshiping nation not within the confines of the coast and hinterlands is born. The Arch-Druid of Mernon sacrifices the 777th child to the Earth Goddess, apparently causing a spiritual disturbance.
 * Circa. 300 EE: The Massacre of Affre commences. We have few details, but at the end it is said that 2,000 Affren Humans and 5,000 Gall Dwarves are dead. For more information, read The Massacre of Affre, by Tarrep and Wesley.
 * Circa 400 EE: Due to internal conflict in the Deter aristocracy and the Church, the Holy Church of Oneir splits away from Deter, in what is known as the Oneir-Deter Rift.
 * Circa: 500 EE: Fandlow the Conqueror defeats the Phids, starting the chain of the events leading to the Proud Kingdoms as we know them today.
 * Circa 500 EE: Deter is peacefully annexed to Indrid, a shell of the former glorious nation it once was. Gasmand the Stout, last king of Deter retires to a spacious estate in Vinterr. The Church of Oneir takes hold of Western Ennebrin.
