The “New Beginning” (~circa 10 000 years ago)

 * Kingdom of Eliseu is founded (Human, Vi)
 * Kingdom of Ierima is founded (Goblin, Vi, Orc)
 * Kingdom of Leuteuh is founded (Lizardkin)
 * Eliseu grows, advances in basic medicine and art
 * Leuteuh advances in medicine and 3D art, such as statues and architecture, in their isolation
 * Ierima grows much, developing a species based class divide as it expands. Vi are elite, while Goblins and Orcs are discriminated against and treated as lesser beings, despite Vi being the minority
 * Leuteuh grew to have the most land, and the second highest population behind Ierima
 * Ierima, using Orcs and Goblins as disposable warriors, wage war on Eliseu
 * Eliseu, desperate, goes to Leuteuh for help. Leuteuh refuses, wishing to stay separate and neutral
 * Ierima successfully conquers Eliseu with ease, the two kingdoms now transforming into the Vi Empire
 * Leuteuh, after underestimating the might of former Ierima, becomes concerned for their survival. Begins increasing defenses and military
 * Thinking Leuteuh is preparing for an offensive strike, the Vi Empire attacks Leuteuh, not taking time to conquer, but instead complete annihilation. Lizardkin population is driven dangerously low
 * Vi Empire officially becomes the strongest faction in all of Iteria, with the most land and the ability to keep it protected.
 * Vi Empire moves for world domination via eradication of lesser kingdoms. Severe nationalism is prevalent among violent Vi, though many still take after the more peaceful ways of the Eliseu Vi
 * On their conquest, the Vi Empire uses non-Vi as their warriors, both taking down potential opposition, and bringing competing species to more manageable numbers
 * Peaceful Vi, seeing the destruction of other species, begin rioting for the protection and preservation of these species and their cultures
 * Huge divide is formed within Vi empire, as a civil rights movement morphs into civil war
 * Carnage and destruction is so widespread, the massive Vi empire is brought down in a mere decade.
 * The innate differences in peaceful Vi and violent Vi finally grow enough for the two ways of life to be considered separate species; Villagers and Illagers
 * Villagers conceal their magic, and learn to fear violence in the ruins of the Vi Empire. Settle down in small towns that dot the landscape.
 * Illagers, who have all but lost their magic except for a small few, begin constructing new bases of operations and outposts, their nationalism now evolved into complete xenophobia, wish to re-conquer Iteria and completely eradicate any other species.

The Current Era (~circa 5000 years ago)
Continuation of events on the actual server:
 * Aimeth first founded
 * In the ruins of former kingdoms and the Vi empire, many new kingdoms rose. A warrior by the name of Avigdor, along with his followers, begin to conquer other kingdoms and put them under their control
 * Some are nervous that such displays of power would lead to another Vi Empire
 * Avigdor defies expectations, as his new empire, the Itosean Empire, prospers, along with all who reside in it
 * As the Itosean Empire grows, Avigdor is considered equivalent to a god by many, and the Ethesian faith is born, dedicated to following his precedent
 * The Itosean Empire falls as generations pass, its rulers forgetting the standard Avigdor had set. The Sakari Order, in charge of most of the Itosean Empire’s peacekeeping and military, survives.
 * Rapid growth of Aimeth
 * Fall of Aimeth
 * A mysterious creature appears and begins preaching the word of the Conqueror, a goddess that wished to judge Iteria, either granting them infinite life, resources, and space for expansion, or eradicating them completely
 * Many ignore the creature, though those who take his words seriously begin to refer to him as the Harbinger. He is hunted by those who did not want him to be able to summon this goddess, though he manages to amass a following of those who wished to help him.
 * The Harbinger’s group, the Gatesmen, last shortly. Their numbers small and their enemies numerous, they are all but wiped out completely. It is later restarted by a man corrupted by a magical Gatesmen artifact, but this branch no longer follows the ideals of the Harbinger or the Conqueror.
 * The Sect of the Fallen One, a group dedicated to resurrecting their ancient god, steals the Heart of the Forest, the item he was imprisoned in. This causes plant growth to stop, starving Iteria and killing off people by the millions
 * The Gatesmen were restarted by a man corrupted by a magical Gatesmen artifact
 * The Sect of the Fallen One steal an Illager artifact, a gateway to the realm of Frost, the End
 * The Heart of the Forest is recovered by its guardian, a powerful Demon, so plant growth may return to Iteria
 * Many of the Iterian people, driven by revenge, planned an attack on the Sect of the Fallen One. They escaped through the End’s portal, and later reformed into the empire known as Eterna
 * The Gatesmen’s leadership changes, and the faction stops following the ideals of the Conqueror
