ANCIENT HISTORY

Year	Event
0	The Great Darkness ends
900	A massive earthquake shakes the continent of Aleron. The epicenter is located very near the Castretmus Confederacy with grave results. The confederacy is destroyed and what remains of the Amo peoples is barely enough to fill a large city.
1,500	The Amo peoples have slowly recovered and are spreading out among the Castretmus river valley again. Still fearful of building any form of structures they stick to caves or semi-nomadic camps for fear that they will come under the wrath of the goddess Vashti once more.
2,400	Amo fanatics, preaching the end of the world at the hands of Vashti because of Igards disregard for her power, descend upon the Confederacy. Tens of thousands die, but eventually the zealots are slaughtered to the man and Igard is established as a thriving Country.
2,847	Nearly 450 years after the Zealots War, another fanatical priest rises to prominence. Declaring Igard to be a land of heretics and sinners he leads another army of fanatics to burn them from the face of Aleron. The war is short-lived but drives a wedge between the people of Igard and the Amo barbarians.
3,146	Consul Antelfried and Consul Bertra of the Igard Confederacy begin a feud over border rights. Though this is a common occurrence within the Confederacy, it is aggravated when both the Consul's heirs slay each other during a “hunting accident”.
3,400	Several Amo clans begin to consolidate their power and wage a rather successful series of wars to conquer the surrounding tribes. Though the clans are generally victorious it isn't enough to bring Castretmus into a stable nation again.
4,100	The mighty Amo Chieftain, Alfrid unites the majority of the clans that still remain in the Castretmus River Valley. He and his shaman Sibulla instill the Cult of the Devourer which unites the Amo under the religious belief of Vashti and her warped children.
4,700	Several clans rebel against the power of the Cult and wars tear apart the Amo Horde from within as each clan attempts to tear off its own piece of the “empire”.
5,300	Chieftain Luldolf attempts to expand his clans influence into the Borderlands only to be repelled by Igards Legions, bolstered by “civilized” Amo Citizens.
6,000	The Cult of the Devourer becomes ascendant once more and nearly all Amo clans succumb to its teachings. The clans descend into a tradition of orgiastic blood rituals and many villages on the Borderlands become the scene of horrendous bloodshed.
6,700	Several Shamans had become covetous of each others power and after many skirmishes eventually separate and go their own ways; thus spreading the Cult's teachings throughout Southern Aleron.
6,946	The Igardian trade agreements with Lucania and Sjirt begin to pay off well and the Port of Marsten becomes a major hub for trade.
