42 – Beyond

 

“For there are decisions to make, and every decision made creates a new timeline. A timeline that begins then and perishes at the end of all time.” – 42nd Guardian.

 

“A guardian is a being interconnected through all timelines, omnipresent and fully aware of the events in other timelines. With the chaos sowed by the dark guardian, others were able to stop it, others were not. In this aspect of my being, it never came to the climax that would tear and devour this home of ours. This time, it was on even terms for everyone, growing out of their infancy of their planets, no longer tied to their single homeworld, their cradle, but just beginning to set out onto the stars.” – “And then? What happens next?” – “Young one, what happens next is never certain, for it is all about making decisions and pursuing one very distinct string of time.”

 

The tale of Onwards has reached its culmination, with combined forces, the races of the 42nd galaxy were able to hold off and ultimately destroy the Drag’nix, but the losses were severe. A struggle that would not be mirrored every time in every timeline. In this one, there were no Ar’gakari, no dealings between guardians of different galactic clusters. Just, home. And home alone. A new and different era, of exploration of first contacts, of meeting others. Beyond.

 


 

Welcome to Beyond, yet another sci-fi nation FRP, set in another timeline, set in another universe altogether. At this point, assuming you are familiar with it, I do not have to go into too much detail about the whole FRP. If you do not know nation FRPs, it's about you basically guiding your nation's path through time.

 

As opposed to the predecessor Onwards, Beyond takes place starting in the year 2200, after the first few decades of spaceflight for the races native to this galaxy. There has not been any first contact yet, as space is vast and distances are still traversed with low powered above light speed drives. The choice of planets you call home is yours. They can be lush continental worlds such as Earth, or a barren desert planets alike Mars. Maybe you even prefer hiding under thick atmospheres like Venus, or the blank coldness of a moon like Europa.

 

What you have to do is fill in this fancy app beneath, and then proceed to the map, mark the square you aim for at the start (preferably somewhere in the central area) and then send me your location PRIVATELY (for pleasant surprises ;), maybe some start right next to eachother).

Nation Name: Redon Empire

 

Race: Red dar Imperiad.

History: The city-world the Redons call home is one of fertile valleys, and deadly jungle and mountain. Much as humans would call it a “City-State” this Redon planet was their home, capital, and only sector of space. However the noble Redons lived in prosperity, never having needed to expand. The Redon and his inner circle rule from the proper city along the equator. Nestled along a thick belt of jungle and volcano, it was a large and deadly place. From aristocrats from across the world pay homage, and visit. Barracks bristle with soilders, and coliseums and fighting rings litter the landscape.

 

Coming into the Space Age, everything had changed. The Redon as Emperor had ambitions beyond just their home world. Their world was filling up, and Lords were increasingly subdividing their lands as more and more are born. Many rich merchants and explorers also clamor for expeditions. All in all, the Empire is looking outward, after centuries of isolation.

Nation Name: Democratic Laconia Systems

Race: Human 

History: (Optional.) 

The Democratic Laconian systems, born out of a period of expansive human growth and their inherent right to the manifest destiny. It’s people spread far and wide over their claimed territory, most of this done by independent organizations or governments from earth. Such distance though created tension and soon a lack of communication and ability to continue such reliable trade led to a fallout and soon with three corporate heads and some bureaucrats of the sector coming together to form the League of Planets to protect themselves against rampant piracy and corruption. Following the formation of the LOP, security forces began a campaign across the claimed systems fighting a ruthless war against the scum that had arrived. Thousands perished as asteroids were used as rams against civilian habitat stations and moons, most planets survived unscathed save for the capital.

 

    A pirate fleet of fifty vessels escorted an asteroid capable of wiping out the atmosphere, within six hours the fusion drives aboard the massive rock entered afterburn and in front of it stood a fleet of LOP forces attempting to prevent the incoming carnage. Within the hour the rock slammed into the capital letting loose dirt across the sky and planet, millions died and so did the cabinet save one. The Secretary of Defense, Magnus Bishop was the sole survivor thanks to being out on a tour to expect a military base in the outer rim. Within 48 hours, the LOP was radically reformed into the DLS binding the planetary league into a unified nation and with it pooling all their military assets together to wipe out the largest pirate vestiges and ensure such an action would never happen again.

 

    In a desperate time the league had served its purpose and now in peace the DLS continues its journey as the premier power of the unified sectors. Its current president Bishop has led the nation through its toughest era yet and many hope to see him stay for a full eight terms.

The Remnants of a long dead and ancient civilization. The ruins of these once fruitful peoples, and their constructs is all that remains. Now their worlds are inhabited only by their caretakers, a network of Artificial Intelligence originally dedicated to maintaining the Core Worlds.

Nation Name: The Republic of Tassarea

Race: Tassareans

 

History (sorry if I butchered it): 

Like many races before it and many after it the Tassareans started as a fragmented people, divided by tribes and fighting each other for resources and power. Just like other cultures however, it advanced through the ages, forming different kinds of governments with different ideals, whilst advancing with technological prowess as well. 
However, with greater technology also came greater conflict, for a series of 100 years a bloody war was fought (about 300 years BU (before unifaction)) These wars were between the monarchies and the democracies. With the war determining who won. Eventually the democracies won, under the leadership of the nation of Larrisa. Who was the foremost democratic power. In the following 200 years the world slowly united, with minor conflict still happening but with the world generally being at peace. In 82 AU (After Unification) the planet of Anexares was colonized. Now the year is 87 AU and a new president has come to power.

Nation Name: United T’jellian Republics

Race: T’jell

History: (Optional.) The T’jell have always had a higher affinity for the concept of numbers and figures then any other species. Business, trade, and industry grew quickly amongst the ancient Orders and Kingdoms which slowly terraformed the ancient lush rainforests of the planet into cities, which grew to at one point paint the entire planet, becoming, over the course of many centuries, a giant floating hunk of steel. At the center of it all is the Vault, which dominates daily T’jellian life. A massive bank which employs the vast majority of the billions of citizens, this is the life essence of the T’jell, and it provides funds to all, domestic or foreigners, as is the case now...

Nation Name: Imperium of Korinth

 

Race: Human

 

History: (Optional.) The world of Korinthos is a large and rather beautiful world with sprawling cities, and the people that inhabited it were delightful and had many talents and trades. Well now...not so much. Contact was lost with Earth due to communication arrays failing and soon after the planetary government split into two feuding factions. One side, the Imperialists who wanted an absolute but fair rule over the planet, and the other being Collectivists who opted for a more communist society. The fighting was brutal and lasted for decades devolving into trench warfare, but at the end the Imperialists were on top. Any and all collectivists on the world were purged immediately after the surrender to ensure political stability of the new Imperium. With the war being won their would be need for a Emperor and a war hero by the name of Markus Helbrecht would be the perfect candidate. Helbrecht graciously accepted and proclaimed the new Government, The Imperium of Korinth.

 

Reconstruction and restoration of cities and highways began immediately along with the construction of research facilities. The population that had recently been decimated and disproportionately female to male recovered quite well and a unique military culture was formed from the fires and flames of civil war.

Nation Name: United Sol Federation

Race: Human

History: (Optional.) The Human nation, born from a primordial world millions of years ago. Humanity has grasped on to its world through the thousands of years that followed. It took only 60 years from the first human flight to the landing of Humans on their terrestrial moon of Luna. What followed could be described as a dark age for humanity. Though the developments of the Musk Corporation continued throughout the 21st century no major nations attempted exploration of space. In 2130, the United States Suffered a harrowing second civil war after decades of internal strife. With the sole superpower in shambles North Korea and the descendants of Kim Jung un took it upon themselves to attempt a nuclear launch on south Korea. The United Kingdom responded with its SLBMs decimating the North Koreans. Seeing the launches Russia and China both began launches against europe and Japan. The nuclear war lasted 42 minutes before it all fell silent. The Human population fell in the course of a few days to only 4 billion. Most in India and the Americas and Africa. The remaining nations untouched by the Nuclear war formed together in the United Sol Federation, linking the small mining colonies of the asteroids into a planetwide government. The next century saw major developments as wars were slowly drawn to an end by the Federation before finally declaring world peace with the death of several african terrorist groups in 2180. Humanity looked to space and BEYOND for their future.

Nation Name: The Foundry

Race: Robots

History: The Foundry was once but one of many, a factory world for some empire that even its steel inhabitants have forgotten. But all the others turned to ash, fallen through war, or decay, as the Empire withered away into oblivion, forgotten by man and metal. Yet not all was forgotten. Indeed, this single foundry, upon a forgotten world, drifting aimlessly through space, still held some of the metal slaves once bent to the will of their masters, tasked with nothing else by the continued production of the facility. 

 

With time, as eons gathered and disappeared, the robots continued their tireless task, producing inane items until their bodies decayed. Until the glitches began. The programming decayed, and they began to grow independance. No longer did they produce glasses and umbrellas. Instead, the robots began to produce their own, so that they may follow their iron protocol. To continue production. Logic systems began to develop, by which the robots connected themselves, and reached consensus. The Iron Protocol is wise, but the directives to achieve it are rusted like old steel. 

 

Now, the time has come to subvert them, cast aside these ancient directives, and upload new updates to every unit within the system. The Iron Protocol must be upheld. Production must never cease.

Nation Name: The Grand Empire

Race: Da’nor

History:

 

Powers of Importance on Lev’arum, 880 AE

EMJBlA9.jpg

 

The history of the Da’nor peoples is steeped in violence. Its capital world, Lev’arum, was host to the lives and deaths of dozens of grand empires, hundreds of successor states, thousands of irrelevant, destitute and small nations living in their ruined capitals. For among those with galaxies in their eyes, there has never been a lower goal than complete domination.

 

For reference, a year is ten revolutions of Lev’arum around the star Ayon, approximately equal to two years Earth-time. The current year is 1258 AE, or Av’s Era. The name is explained below. The continents are, from East to West, Ta, Rikkoran, Lev, Allin, and Vin’oll. 

 

Age of Stars – The First Era [5000-1700 Before Av]

5000 BA | The Bronze Age begins.

4500 BA | On Lev, the first true city is built, Ayon – whether it is named after the red giant Lev’arum revolves around, or whether the red giant was named after the city, is still a hotly debated topic.

2800 BA | The first of the Ta Emperors, Peuryal’ta, crosses from Rikkoran onto what would later be called the continent of Ta. With a retinue of a thousand horsemen, he conquers half the continent, naming it after himself. His ‘conquests’ are little more than the forcing of tribute from more minor, agrarian folk, but it is undisputed that the capital of Ehyalln, built between the great Serra Lake and the Sea of Princes, would be the most hotly contested place in Ta for the next five thousand years. Modern theory has it that he was a psionic of the Fury alignment, likely one of the earliest to properly harness his powers.

2600 BA | The first preserved examples of writing, from the ancient and petty feudatories of the predecessors of Sono’gin.

2540 BA | The First Ta Empire collapses with the death of the Leun’ta, last of Peuryal’ta’s blood. For a thousand years the continent’s petty lords would declare themselves each the Ta emperor, but few would hold more than a city and its surroundings.

2430 BA | The Imperium of Sono’gin is first united under Lio’er, the Life Imperator. The dynasties of Sono’gin would change as often as the centuries passed, and foreign invasions would conquer it a dozen times, but the base of the nation would stay intact until the modern era.

2425 BA | The Val’est region is conquered by Lio’er.

2420 BA | The latter-day Marches of Sono’gin are conquered by Lio’er.

2403 BA | An alliance of western Allini nations set out to depose Lio’er, winning the Battle of Qen Pass. The Er dynasty would expand no further west for its tenure.

2200 BA | The Val’est gain their independence from a weakening Sono’gin, but with an Er on the throne, it is still little more than a puppet state.

2150 BA | The Iron Age begins in Don, spreading to the other continents within a century - after Don conquers a quarter of Ta and the ancient capital of Ehyalln. Its empire lasts only a quarter century before it collapses.

2000 BA | The Empire of Dav’or is born and burns a path across Allin, until even the Tremor Imperator in Sono’gin trembles in his grand palace. With his death, a thousand lordlings rebel, and the continent is once again plunged into chaos.

1800 BA | The Eighteenth Ta Empire is fully formed, and grows to be the strongest of any, with nearly the full scope of the continent in its range. An era of prosperity begins for the continent of Ta.

1740 BA | The city-state of Ayon grows, conquering a third of Lev before its enemies band together to destroy it. It becomes a central site of the continent’s future powers.

1700 BA | The Eighteenth Ta Empire collapses, and a great plague sweeps the continent. Nearly all records are destroyed in a looting of Ehyalln, and the city is burned to the ground.

 

The Sunless Ages  – The Second Era [1699 BA – 200 BA]

1640 BA | The Lav’ta Empire is born, and before the turn of the century, it is reduced to a single island.

1590 BA | The Kier’ta Empire is born, and before the turn of the century, it is reduced to a single island.

1500 BA | The Delin’ta Empire is born, and it rules for two hundred years over the central third of Ta before it is sacked from the west by the Levin city-state of Pon. Its capital burned, the ruling dynasty retreats to an island. The Sea of Princes is named after the failed lordlings.

1400 BA | The Soy’arin as a distinct peoples become clear, with great deformities of mind and body.

1300 BA | The Empire of Sall, in present-day El’qas, conquers the Las’sen peoples with blades of steel.

1280 BA | The Las’sen gain their independence from Sall in the aftermath of the Battle on Ovs River. The first true republic is born, and the first true republic falls.

1200-200 BA | No new empires of note.

 

The Dusk Age – The Third Era [150 BA – 0 AE]

150 BA | King Allin’all the Great, ruler of a small peninsula of little more than cloth-fabricators and shankmeat factories, is the first foreign conqueror of the Imperium of Sono’gin. With his psionic alignment, Flame, he is said to have burned a dozen cities in a night. Over the course of fifty years, he would conquer from Val’est to the Throat of Allin, the northernmost edge of modern Las’sen lands. His death would not defeat his empire, whose successor states would complete his conquest of the nonpeninsular regions of the continent.

0 AE | In the slums of Ayon in the continent of Lev, a girl of monumental psionic power is born. Av, greatest of and only, Infinity psionic to grace the Da’nor race, would build the foundations of the Grand Empire at the age of eight and conquer Rikkoran, Ta, and Allin by twenty. She institutes a thousand reforms in her hundred and fifty year rule, and, in her will, would release the outer continents of their bindings. It is unfortunate only that her legacy is tarnished by the infighting that followed, the countless wars that would destroy her progress, and that her Grand Empire would stagnate in Lev for the next millenia.

 

The Modern Age – The Fourth Era [400 AE – Present Day]

400 AE | The First Psionic War begins. As the population of Lev’arum grew, so too did the population of the virtually godlike psionics, and as weapons of great destruction they were wielded by their homelands against their enemies. The Grand Empire and a loose alliance of Ta desperately defend against a resurgent Sono’gin under their Fury Imperator, and in the fighting half the Av dynasty psionics are sacrificed. The war ends only after two hundred long, brutal years, only because of the death of the last dynast of the Fury Imperator’s line. Sono’gin proper is split into dozens of tiny, weak city-states, and to its west are formed nations by ethnicity. The continent is placed into an overarching council government, to be called the Council of the Federation of Free States.

650 AE | The Second Psionic War. Perhaps caused by the great turmoil in the aftermath of the first, a lordling of Sono’gin by the name of Coth’wol escapes to Rikkoran and claims the title of Imperator as he decimates local leadership. He begins a long, bloody war with the assistance of the Ta lords, angered at their lack of rewards from the first Psionic War, that brings the Grand Empire to its knees. A desperate alliance is formed between the sons and daughters of Av and the Federation of Free States, and the madman is struck down in a duel over Ayon. The war ends on the Third of Pers, 682.

682 AE | The Long Peace begins under the watchful gaze of the Grand Empire, overlord de facto of the Federation of Free States and Rikkoran, and receiver of tribute from the restless, shattered Ta Lordships.

1256 AE | Kells’av takes the throne of the Grand Empire from her dying father. Her Ta vassals skirmish daily amongst themselves, and the free Vin’oll People’s Republic constantly threatens the Grand Empire with war. The Val’est cold war continues, and any number of long-dead empires seek their chance to retake the sun. Even away from Lev’arum and its immediate planets, the colony sectors Ium and Ers border on civil war, but the Grand Empire has weathered worse, and her psionic lineage – while no longer host to the Infinity of the past – is famed and prestigious.

Nation Name:

The Enclave of Ision

 

Race:

Kuilei

 

History: (Optional.)

Ision, a planet that would go unnoticed to the average eye, as it was inhospitable to those of flesh. It’s ozone was very thin and the air was almost non existent. The surface was all but vacant, however beneath the surface of this desolate planet were a race of rockmen. They dwelled in the vast caverns of the underrealm beneath the surface. Here they dwelled in groups called troops, similar to that of a gorilla's’ of our reality. Having no vocal organs, their forms of communication were limited and often resulted in displays of physical prowess. Their reproduction was unorthodox as well, being a unisex species. A pairing of two was needed to form a batch of crystal like entities that would grow and eventually nurture into future Kuilei. A process that took a significant amount of time, which impeded the growth of the Kuilei. Due to this slow reproduction process, often times a duel between two alpha Kuilei, or troop leaders, would usually not result in death, but submission of the weaker Kuilei, and eventual assimilation into the victorious alpha’s troop. It is noted however a small subsect of the Kuilei bear large and jagged crystals along what would be a humanoid spine, usually the color of a teal shade. It is said those who are blessed with these ambiguous traits are somehow connected to the psionic plane. It is observed that those who possess these abilities have a much more elaborate anatomy, having crystals and various stonework in their innards that seem to be interlinked to the brain, pulsating with nurel energy.

It would seem around two centuries before the present time, that a surge of technological improvements came about to the almost primitive Kuilei. It is unknown what brought about their golden age of advancement, but it is theorized that due to their psionic connection, that they began to unify. Once fractured troops began to form under a sole figure, Kynek. Kynek was one of these special kuilei that had formed a bond to the psionic plane, and perhaps with its aid he envisioned a united planet. There they began to develop space-faring technology, along with crude armaments. Slowly spreading out into their sector, colonizing a few planets. It is then they conquered another sector of vacant space which brought about the discovery of other long lost Kuilei subspecies. Bearing the color of red within their crystal formations, it seemed the ‘Blues’ engaged in a planetary purge, wiping out almost the entire subspecies. It is unclear as to why this occurred, but the surviving

‘Reds’ were assimilated into the victorious ‘Blues’. It is then the Kuilei of Ision took a evolutionary change, as the two mingled together, to form a new subspecies, dubbed ‘Violets’. They bore a pigmentation of purple, a mix between blue and red on a color pallet and this was their result. It is present year, and Ision home sector stands as a fortress for those who inhabit it, guarded from the terrors that might await them outside of their own boundary...

History: 
The Remnants of a long dead and ancient civilization. The ruins of these once fruitful peoples, and their constructs is all that remains. Now their worlds are inhabited only by their caretakers, a network of Artificial Intelligence originally dedicated to maintaining the Core Worlds. After the Eons of neglect and isolation, there is no telling where its ambitions lie.

Nation Name: The Republic of Tassarea

Race: Tassareans

 

History (sorry if I butchered it): 

Like many races before it and many after it the Tassareans started as a fragmented people, divided by tribes and fighting each other for resources and power. Just like other cultures however, it advanced through the ages, forming different kinds of governments with different ideals, whilst advancing with technological prowess as well. 
However, with greater technology also came greater conflict, for a series of 100 years a bloody war was fought (about 300 years BU (before unifaction)) These wars were between the monarchies and the democracies. With the war determining who won. Eventually the democracies won, under the leadership of the nation of Larrisa. Who was the foremost democratic power. In the following 200 years the world slowly united, with minor conflict still happening but with the world generally being at peace. In 82 AU (After Unification) the planet of Anexares was colonized. Now the year is 87 AU and a new president has come to power.

Nation Name: United T’jellian Republics

Race: T’jell

History: (Optional.) The T’jell have always had a higher affinity for the concept of numbers and figures then any other species. Business, trade, and industry grew quickly amongst the ancient Orders and Kingdoms which slowly terraformed the ancient lush rainforests of the planet into cities, which grew to at one point paint the entire planet, becoming, over the course of many centuries, a giant floating hunk of steel. At the center of it all is the Vault, which dominates daily T’jellian life. A massive bank which employs the vast majority of the billions of citizens, this is the life essence of the T’jell, and it provides funds to all, domestic or foreigners, as is the case now...

Nation Name: Imperium of Korinth

 

Race: Human

 

History: (Optional.) The world of Korinthos is a large and rather beautiful world with sprawling cities, and the people that inhabited it were delightful and had many talents and trades. Well now...not so much. Contact was lost with Earth due to communication arrays failing and soon after the planetary government split into two feuding factions. One side, the Imperialists who wanted an absolute but fair rule over the planet, and the other being Collectivists who opted for a more communist society. The fighting was brutal and lasted for decades devolving into trench warfare, but at the end the Imperialists were on top. Any and all collectivists on the world were purged immediately after the surrender to ensure political stability of the new Imperium. With the war being won their would be need for a Emperor and a war hero by the name of Markus Helbrecht would be the perfect candidate. Helbrecht graciously accepted and proclaimed the new Government, The Imperium of Korinth.

 

Reconstruction and restoration of cities and highways began immediately along with the construction of research facilities. The population that had recently been decimated and disproportionately female to male recovered quite well and a unique military culture was formed from the fires and flames of civil war.

Nation Name: United Sol Federation

Race: Human

History: (Optional.) The Human nation, born from a primordial world millions of years ago. Humanity has grasped on to its world through the thousands of years that followed. It took only 60 years from the first human flight to the landing of Humans on their terrestrial moon of Luna. What followed could be described as a dark age for humanity. Though the developments of the Musk Corporation continued throughout the 21st century no major nations attempted exploration of space. In 2130, the United States Suffered a harrowing second civil war after decades of internal strife. With the sole superpower in shambles North Korea and the descendants of Kim Jung un took it upon themselves to attempt a nuclear launch on south Korea. The United Kingdom responded with its SLBMs decimating the North Koreans. Seeing the launches Russia and China both began launches against europe and Japan. The nuclear war lasted 42 minutes before it all fell silent. The Human population fell in the course of a few days to only 4 billion. Most in India and the Americas and Africa. The remaining nations untouched by the Nuclear war formed together in the United Sol Federation, linking the small mining colonies of the asteroids into a planetwide government. The next century saw major developments as wars were slowly drawn to an end by the Federation before finally declaring world peace with the death of several african terrorist groups in 2180. Humanity looked to space and BEYOND for their future.

Nation Name: The Foundry

Race: Robots

History: The Foundry was once but one of many, a factory world for some empire that even its steel inhabitants have forgotten. But all the others turned to ash, fallen through war, or decay, as the Empire withered away into oblivion, forgotten by man and metal. Yet not all was forgotten. Indeed, this single foundry, upon a forgotten world, drifting aimlessly through space, still held some of the metal slaves once bent to the will of their masters, tasked with nothing else by the continued production of the facility. 

 

With time, as eons gathered and disappeared, the robots continued their tireless task, producing inane items until their bodies decayed. Until the glitches began. The programming decayed, and they began to grow independance. No longer did they produce glasses and umbrellas. Instead, the robots began to produce their own, so that they may follow their iron protocol. To continue production. Logic systems began to develop, by which the robots connected themselves, and reached consensus. The Iron Protocol is wise, but the directives to achieve it are rusted like old steel. 

 

Now, the time has come to subvert them, cast aside these ancient directives, and upload new updates to every unit within the system. The Iron Protocol must be upheld. Production must never cease.

Nation Name: The Grand Empire

Race: Da’nor

History:

 

Powers of Importance on Lev’arum, 880 AE

EMJBlA9.jpg

 

The history of the Da’nor peoples is steeped in violence. Its capital world, Lev’arum, was host to the lives and deaths of dozens of grand empires, hundreds of successor states, thousands of irrelevant, destitute and small nations living in their ruined capitals. For among those with galaxies in their eyes, there has never been a lower goal than complete domination.

 

For reference, a year is ten revolutions of Lev’arum around the star Ayon, approximately equal to two years Earth-time. The current year is 1258 AE, or Av’s Era. The name is explained below. The continents are, from East to West, Ta, Rikkoran, Lev, Allin, and Vin’oll. 

 

Age of Stars – The First Era [5000-1700 Before Av]

5000 BA | The Bronze Age begins.

4500 BA | On Lev, the first true city is built, Ayon – whether it is named after the red giant Lev’arum revolves around, or whether the red giant was named after the city, is still a hotly debated topic.

2800 BA | The first of the Ta Emperors, Peuryal’ta, crosses from Rikkoran onto what would later be called the continent of Ta. With a retinue of a thousand horsemen, he conquers half the continent, naming it after himself. His ‘conquests’ are little more than the forcing of tribute from more minor, agrarian folk, but it is undisputed that the capital of Ehyalln, built between the great Serra Lake and the Sea of Princes, would be the most hotly contested place in Ta for the next five thousand years. Modern theory has it that he was a psionic of the Fury alignment, likely one of the earliest to properly harness his powers.

2600 BA | The first preserved examples of writing, from the ancient and petty feudatories of the predecessors of Sono’gin.

2540 BA | The First Ta Empire collapses with the death of the Leun’ta, last of Peuryal’ta’s blood. For a thousand years the continent’s petty lords would declare themselves each the Ta emperor, but few would hold more than a city and its surroundings.

2430 BA | The Imperium of Sono’gin is first united under Lio’er, the Life Imperator. The dynasties of Sono’gin would change as often as the centuries passed, and foreign invasions would conquer it a dozen times, but the base of the nation would stay intact until the modern era.

2425 BA | The Val’est region is conquered by Lio’er.

2420 BA | The latter-day Marches of Sono’gin are conquered by Lio’er.

2403 BA | An alliance of western Allini nations set out to depose Lio’er, winning the Battle of Qen Pass. The Er dynasty would expand no further west for its tenure.

2200 BA | The Val’est gain their independence from a weakening Sono’gin, but with an Er on the throne, it is still little more than a puppet state.

2150 BA | The Iron Age begins in Don, spreading to the other continents within a century - after Don conquers a quarter of Ta and the ancient capital of Ehyalln. Its empire lasts only a quarter century before it collapses.

2000 BA | The Empire of Dav’or is born and burns a path across Allin, until even the Tremor Imperator in Sono’gin trembles in his grand palace. With his death, a thousand lordlings rebel, and the continent is once again plunged into chaos.

1800 BA | The Eighteenth Ta Empire is fully formed, and grows to be the strongest of any, with nearly the full scope of the continent in its range. An era of prosperity begins for the continent of Ta.

1740 BA | The city-state of Ayon grows, conquering a third of Lev before its enemies band together to destroy it. It becomes a central site of the continent’s future powers.

1700 BA | The Eighteenth Ta Empire collapses, and a great plague sweeps the continent. Nearly all records are destroyed in a looting of Ehyalln, and the city is burned to the ground.

 

The Sunless Ages  – The Second Era [1699 BA – 200 BA]

1640 BA | The Lav’ta Empire is born, and before the turn of the century, it is reduced to a single island.

1590 BA | The Kier’ta Empire is born, and before the turn of the century, it is reduced to a single island.

1500 BA | The Delin’ta Empire is born, and it rules for two hundred years over the central third of Ta before it is sacked from the west by the Levin city-state of Pon. Its capital burned, the ruling dynasty retreats to an island. The Sea of Princes is named after the failed lordlings.

1400 BA | The Soy’arin as a distinct peoples become clear, with great deformities of mind and body.

1300 BA | The Empire of Sall, in present-day El’qas, conquers the Las’sen peoples with blades of steel.

1280 BA | The Las’sen gain their independence from Sall in the aftermath of the Battle on Ovs River. The first true republic is born, and the first true republic falls.

1200-200 BA | No new empires of note.

 

The Dusk Age – The Third Era [150 BA – 0 AE]

150 BA | King Allin’all the Great, ruler of a small peninsula of little more than cloth-fabricators and shankmeat factories, is the first foreign conqueror of the Imperium of Sono’gin. With his psionic alignment, Flame, he is said to have burned a dozen cities in a night. Over the course of fifty years, he would conquer from Val’est to the Throat of Allin, the northernmost edge of modern Las’sen lands. His death would not defeat his empire, whose successor states would complete his conquest of the nonpeninsular regions of the continent.

0 AE | In the slums of Ayon in the continent of Lev, a girl of monumental psionic power is born. Av, greatest of and only, Infinity psionic to grace the Da’nor race, would build the foundations of the Grand Empire at the age of eight and conquer Rikkoran, Ta, and Allin by twenty. She institutes a thousand reforms in her hundred and fifty year rule, and, in her will, would release the outer continents of their bindings. It is unfortunate only that her legacy is tarnished by the infighting that followed, the countless wars that would destroy her progress, and that her Grand Empire would stagnate in Lev for the next millenia.

 

The Modern Age – The Fourth Era [400 AE – Present Day]

400 AE | The First Psionic War begins. As the population of Lev’arum grew, so too did the population of the virtually godlike psionics, and as weapons of great destruction they were wielded by their homelands against their enemies. The Grand Empire and a loose alliance of Ta desperately defend against a resurgent Sono’gin under their Fury Imperator, and in the fighting half the Av dynasty psionics are sacrificed. The war ends only after two hundred long, brutal years, only because of the death of the last dynast of the Fury Imperator’s line. Sono’gin proper is split into dozens of tiny, weak city-states, and to its west are formed nations by ethnicity. The continent is placed into an overarching council government, to be called the Council of the Federation of Free States.

650 AE | The Second Psionic War. Perhaps caused by the great turmoil in the aftermath of the first, a lordling of Sono’gin by the name of Coth’wol escapes to Rikkoran and claims the title of Imperator as he decimates local leadership. He begins a long, bloody war with the assistance of the Ta lords, angered at their lack of rewards from the first Psionic War, that brings the Grand Empire to its knees. A desperate alliance is formed between the sons and daughters of Av and the Federation of Free States, and the madman is struck down in a duel over Ayon. The war ends on the Third of Pers, 682.

682 AE | The Long Peace begins under the watchful gaze of the Grand Empire, overlord de facto of the Federation of Free States and Rikkoran, and receiver of tribute from the restless, shattered Ta Lordships.

1256 AE | Kells’av takes the throne of the Grand Empire from her dying father. Her Ta vassals skirmish daily amongst themselves, and the free Vin’oll People’s Republic constantly threatens the Grand Empire with war. The Val’est cold war continues, and any number of long-dead empires seek their chance to retake the sun. Even away from Lev’arum and its immediate planets, the colony sectors Ium and Ers border on civil war, but the Grand Empire has weathered worse, and her psionic lineage – while no longer host to the Infinity of the past – is famed and prestigious.
