Time Line
The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers:
All dates are from the current day ( -2545 means 2545 years ago). I have some ideas for a better dating system,but I haven't incorporated those yet.
The Mythological Past: Az-Mozeth creates the world. Di-Anthnik begins to try and take it. They begin creating Anhouim and Demons, which begin their creations.
-8000: the angels and devils create humans and darklings, respectively.
-7000: Humans migrate to the southern continent. Contact is lost with their northern neighbors. They soon discover that darklings live on the southern continent. Whether these Darklings were here already or followed the humans is never discovered.
-4500: The Great Catastrophe. A century of storms, earthquakes, and upheaval begins. Scholars claim that perhaps the continents were connected before this time, by a landbridge the connected northern Parthann to the demon cliffs to the lands beyond. The geographical face of Azmoth is changed permanently at any rate. No known written records exist in any form from before this time. Scholars also argue that at this time, Di-Anthnik tried to enter the world, but Az-Mozeth stopped him.
-4380: The Great Catastrophe ends. Humanity is again in a stone age, with no knowledge of metallurgy, magic, writing. They barely have the remnants of how to raise their own crops. Most humans live in small, local, nomadic tribes as hunters and gatherers.
-4200: Writing is re-invented. It is claimed that it was re-introduced by the angels. Some of the first records of this time indicate that some believed the Darklings gave it back to mankind, and that writing was the source of the Great Catastrophe.
-3000: Tyl is founded on the Treib River.
-2900: Tyl begins conquering nearby villages and towns, establishing their dominance. At first they fight only in self defense. Later, they begin conquest, subjecting one or two villages a decade.

-50 The first ship sails north across the Sea. It returns with information about a new continent the next year
-47 The first colony on the northern continent is settled by Parthann. Bask later discovers an island in the north that is an excellent refitting location.
-40 By now, Tyleria and Tarth have both established colonies in the north. Bask's financial power has increased exponentially due to it's two island colonies. Their older island in the middle of the ocean has become the prime refitting spot for all nations, and their northern island has turned out not only to be a stop for both Parthann and Tarth, but a good source of natural resources: wood and minerals.

Spriggan:
There are still some things I need to add, like the Free Cities becomeing "free". I haven't decided yet as to when they leave but it will be a gradual process over like 500 years.
Probaly need to add some war with Tyl sometime in there as well.
Lieutenant Kije:
I will write up a timeline for Silkur and Bregtoran, but I'll have to do it at home as it requires more time and attention than I am able to give while at work.
Bask's will be coming along as I write Bask up.
Spriggan:
I think we need a war or 2 between Parth and Tyl, the first one probaly around -2000 and the other when ever.
