The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers:
are you having that the old Parthite empire stretched all the way to include what is now the free cities than? We could have wars out that way.

I agree. What good is having several empires with out a few wars between them?

Lieutenant Kije:
Here's the scoop on Silkur and Bregtoran:

ca. -4380 to 4280      
Exodus from present day Bregtoran.
Before the Great Catastrophe Bregtoran comprised of fertile lowands with numerous small river valleys.  With earthquakes and general geologic movement associated with the Great Catastrophe the land was thrust up and more or less levelled, drying the rivers and scouring the land significantly.  Darklings began to move from out of the south into the land in great numbers, and the humans fled as a result of the changed landscape and the presence of enemies.  The lands of present-day Silkur were spared the upheaval, and by the time the darklings ventured that far north, the humans were prepared to resist them.

ca. -3200
The first walled cities arise in Silkur
Up until this time humans in Silkur mostly relied on scattered susistence agriculture.  Some people were nomadic, or semi-nomadic.

-2988
Silkur Na Fal is established.  Within 100 years it will become the largest city in Silkur.

ca. -2800
Bands of humans begin exploring into what is now the steppe of present-day Bregtoran.

-2714
Silkur Na Fal is destroyed by a tremendously violent storm.

ca. -2700
Permanent settlements appear in the Bregtorian steppe.  This is the beginning of the division between present-day Silkur and Bregtoran.

-2662
Reconstruction of Silkur Na Fal is complete.  Huge new walls crafted of whitestone surround the city, designed to keep it safe from ocean-born storms and other threats.

ca. -2500
Reclamation of the Bregtorian steppe from the darklings is completed via a steady military and colonial campaign of interested and adventurous humans.  The Troeggskov, or great central forest of Bregtoran, remains uncolonized by humans for environmental and cultural (superstition) reasons.

-2214
Earliest recorded mention of Silkuree fighting schools.  All modern schools are held to be descendants of this proto-school.

ca. -2100
Bregtorians begin to explore the Troeggskov in earnest.

ca. -2050 to 1900
The Troll Wars.  Coinciding with the rise of the first Bregtorian vorralcolm, humans begin a campaign to rid the Troeggskov of the trolls, its current inhabitants.  Years of violence, with occasional breaks in conflict, result in the eventual defeat of the forest trolls around -1900.

-1733 to 1731
Reign of Gemek Fellhand over Bregtoran.  The first of the great vorralcolms, Fellhand united all of Bregtoran under his banner.  His reign was rife with corruption, and he was assassinated by a lieutenant, after which his empire quickly crumbled.

-1167 to 1150
Reign of Orom hul Crod over Bregtoran.  The elderly vorralcolm was able to gain control of all of the Bregtorian Steppe, but was unable to subdue the Troeggskov.  He died of old age, and as with other vorralcolms the lands united under his leadership quickly fractured after his death.

-894 to 885
Reign of the vorralcolm Bladequeen Vanika, who ruled all of Bregtoran until a Parthite lover betrayed her and killed her in her sleep.

-858
Contruction completed on the Serrafon, the great lighthouse of Silkur Na Fal.

ca. -750 to 550
The Two Hundred Dark Years.  Darklings attempt to return to Bregtoran en masse, with repeated invasions over the span of two centuries.  Many Bregtorians are displaced during this time, and at times the darkling presence reaches even into parts of Silkur.  After roughly two hundred years the darkling incursions stop, and their presence in Bregtoran and Silkur is returned to "normal" levels.  

-544
Yurin Tellara founds the southern Silkuree fighting school that will come to be called the Yurinath Horsemen.

-380 to 369
Reign of Tyrl the Magnificent, the most successful vorralcolm in Bregtorian history.  Tyrl conquered all of Bregtoran and continued until he had subdued the southern half of Silkur as well.  He was stopped only after a coalition of Silkuree cities was formed to halt his progress.  The reason for his success is a point of debate and contention between Silkurees and Bregtorians.  Many Bregtorians hold Tyrl to be a supremely charismatic commander and the greatest leader in their history, while Silkurees are quick to attribute Tyrl's success to his infamous Silkuree wife Shalla, whom they hold to be the real power behind the throne.

-157 to 150
Vorralcom Frigur conquers and holds most of Bregtoran.  Areas still independent include the western regions of the Troeggskov as well as the steppe surrounding Murgen Dyr near the northwestern border with Silkur.

Spriggan:
Yes what is now the free cities were first formed here:

-2740: Mountain town of {no name} is settled near a lake at the border of the grasslands.

-2730--2600: Several cities are formed in the grasslands.

then some are destroied by a darkling hord

-2467:  Third Darkling horde wrecks havoc along the Shining Road destroying most of the cities along its path.

-2402:  Third Horde is routed and it flees back to the wastes.

and then reformed shortly there after
2400: several settlements are reformed along the Emperors road and in the grasslands.

-2396:  Contact is made with the Tylrian Empire.

Lieutenant Kije:
There must be some serious demon taskmasters deep down south, with all the darkling hordes that keep getting whipped up to invade.

The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers:
well, they have thousands of years for it.
