Timeline of major events on Eurth

Introduction

Book cover of The Complete and Utter History of Eurth.

Eurth is the home of humanity, the only known intelligent life in the universe. The earliest humanoids were the Europithecus afropensis. It appeared about two million years ago and spread throughout southwestern Europa. This region of Azania includes Noble Nykia, Cabarria, Afropa, Abantium, and Wajoka. Europithecus afropensis likely lived in a hunter-gatherer society and controlled fire. It was an adaptive and successful species, persisting for over a million years. It gradually evolved into new species around 500,000 years ago, most notably the Europithecus amutiensis in Amutia. The development of civilisation is humanity's greatest gift to the future.

The Stone Age is subdivided in three periods. The oldest period or Paleolithic includes early human history before 15000 BCE. There was no such thing as cities or civilizations as we know them today. Instead people would generally live in small groups, possibly extended family. They lived in temporary settlements as they moved around to hunt and gather necessary food and resources throughout the year. Early humans were mostly confined to cave dwellings. They made use of stone tools, with findings between circa 2,3-1,8 mya. It isn't until much later that fire is mastered between circa 700-120 kya. Even so, human culture on Eurth remained relatively primitive until the development of language around 100 kya. And the first clothing was created even later with evidence dated between 70-40 thousand BCE.

During the last glacial maximum (50 kya), the sea level was probably more than 110 meters lower than today. When glaciers advance and the climate is colder, glaciation occurs and sea levels drop. And when the climate is warmer, glaciers retreat, and sea levels rise, ushering in an interglacial period which is what we’re in right now. The first humans used this lower sea level to reach Marenesia and then Alharu. This ocean crossing is one of humanity’s important early achievements, even if it’s wrapped in mystery because no written records of this Cigarun civilization have been discovered. Heading south from Noble Nykia, with assistance from ocean currents and prevailing winds, there exists an advantageous ‘ocean highway’ with ideal conditions for island hopping. Another, more controversial theory about the peopling of the New Wurld theories that humans could have migrated by boat from northwestern Europa to Argis, following the drifting ice of the North Adlantic Ocean. This theory is quite popular in Dolchland, but no serious scientists give this idea any credence.

The middle period or Mesolithic lasts from roughly 15000 to 5000 BCE. After the last Ice Age ended around 11000 BCE, some hunter-gatherers again spread northwards across the continent of Europa. This happened in multiple phases. We know this because of the pottery remains found in different styles. The beginning of the Holocene period (10K BCE) is marked by the Neolithic Revolution and agriculture. Across the glube, people began to plant and grow native crops. This way thgey could not only have an abundance of what they needed, but they also no longer needed to search for them. They likewise realized that if they could domesticate and even breed certain animals around them. This provided them with further food and other benefits. Many farm animals were domesticated: pigs (11000 BCE), sheep (11000-9000 BCE) and cattle (8500 BCE). The same is true for the founder crops of agriculture (10000-9000 BCE) and rice (13000-8000 BCE).

The human population of Azania and several other regions gradually began to adopt a more settled mode of living. There was suddenly an option of having a surplus of necessities, and the ability to maintain such a surplus. For the first time, this opened up the possibility of having larger settlements and even the creation of cities. This human activity has drastically changed the geography and biosphere of Eurth through urbanisation and deforestation. In ancient Memopotamia, the increased surpluses of food generated by agricultural production would soon lead to the blossoming of civilisation's first seeds.

The newest period or Neolithic lasted from 5000 until 2000 BCE. The increased ease of providing for the settlement meant that not everyone had to be involved in the collection or production of food. Instead, some members of society were able to focus on other jobs, such as craftsmen. Technological innovations helped to improve transportation. Rowing oars came into use (4500 BCE) and the wheel was invented (3500 BCE). The domestication of the horse (3200 BCE) and camels (3000 BCE) further advanced this. The earliest seaworthy boats appeared around 2500 BCE, enabling the re-exploration of the Marenesian islands by early sailors between 3000-1000 BCE. Around 3000 BCE, the first writing system was developed, greatly improving the exchange and preservation of information.

Archaeologists have also noticed that humans during this period seemed to really improve their production skills when it came to hunting tools and even art. Stone tools became smoother, more perfected. And farming tools also began showing up alongside them. At evolved, with pottery becoming even more prominent and utilized, accompanied by bigger and bolder sculptures and architecture. The people who created them no longer had to move their sculptures around or abandon their architecture to follow their needs throughout the year. All of this adaption and ingenuity led to what we know now as the Bronze Age.

The Bronze Age marks the period when humans transition from exclusively using stone tools for all things, to now utilizing metal, specifically bronze. At first, it seems that some early civilizations in Memopotamia had chosen copper. It wouldn't take too long before people learned that by mixing tin with copper, they could create an even stronger and more durable metal. This would be bronze. This discovery led to the production of bronze tools and eventually weapons.

The increasing food surplus allowed the maintenance of full-time specialised workers who were not engaged in agriculture, such as merchants, weavers, metallurgists, and craftsmen. City-states appear as urban centres surrounded by politically attached communities. The taxation and redistribution of food supplies lead to the formation of governments. Other major inventions and changes for this period include: copper and bronze metallurgy, the potter's wheel, ethnic gods and state religion.

Around the 4th millennium BCE, the complexity of trade and administration outgrew human memory, and writing became a more dependable method of recording and presenting transactions in a permanent form. The invention of writing coincides in some areas with the early beginnings of the Bronze Age. These characteristics traits are the important traits that make a civilisation. Notably: the existence of differing cities, a clear governing body, often times a shared religion, a distinct social structure, written language and art. The technological innovations also contributed to the increased interaction between civilizations.

Trade has had a major impact on the wurld we know today. People started to trade goods to share their surplus, initially within individual communities. As cities within civilizations realized they could trade with each other, trade expanded. This was time-consuming and dangerous, but also profitable. Traders began searching for goods from farther away, leading to trade between civilizations. The early days of glubal trade continued to grow and evolve. The details of this time are uncertain, but its impact on human history is undeniable. Trade played a crucial role in the development of early civilizations and continues to shape the wurld today.

The first known network of glubal trade was between the Memopotamian and Zonglan civilizations, with products such as spices and metals being traded. Some of the earliest writings contain mentions of seven “mother-peoples” on Eurth. These cradles of civilisation inhabited roughly the same time period, and can be distinguished by their unique pottery and trade craft. These cradles of civilisation appear to have included: the Tribes of Yuropa and Land of Shinar in Azania; the seafaring confederation of Mari Teutā (Proto-Europan: Sea People) on the islands; the Golden River civilisation and Houses of Amari in the Orient; the two other remaining civilisations are unknown. The most ancient records also tell of an era when the wurld was shepherded under the careful direction of the Old Ones. They were thought to travel the oceans the way men might drive a cart across the land.

Iron Age

Eurth in 1000 BCE.

The Iron Age saw a major change in technology and trade. Iron tools and weapons replaced bronze and copper, bringing strength and durability. Locations changed in importance, with iron suppliers gaining advantage. Economic relations shifted, requiring more specialized trade and often taxes. The Iron Age was a time of change and growth in trade and technology. It saw the rise and fall of trade networks and shifts in economic power. Iron allowed for stronger tools and weapons, leading to new opportunities for trade and conquest. It was a crucial time in human history.

During this time, the strongest city-states became small local kingdoms. Politics changed, and culture shifted with the official sanctioning of one or more religions. Early kingdoms included Hakkad in Memopotamia, Proto-Nykian in Azania, and Shakyan principalities on the west coast of the Jasmine Sea in the Orient. The rise of one kingdom often led to the decline of another. This time saw a shift in power and influence among states and cultures. Early kingdoms brought challenges and opportunities. Centralised governments and sanctioned religions allowed for better control and organization. But it also caused conflicts and power struggles. The rise of these kingdoms marked a significant turning point in history, paving the way for larger societies.

Classical Age

The Classical Age lasts from approximately 1000 BCE to 500 CE.

1000-500 BCE

Smaller local kingdoms turn into regional Empires. Northern Europa was occupied by Buranian tribes, from pre-Thelarike and early Volsci in the north, to steppe people such as Akiiryu near Amutia. Oriental nations developed along the eastern shores, later forming the Three Kingdoms of Jaihu, Koku to Ide Jima. Island nations such as Miiros and Orioni developed on the fringes.

• 1004 BCE: The ‘Union of Clans’ is formed in Jilderen.
• 1000 BCE: King Archaeminos founds the Archaeminoan dynasty in Azania. It becomes the largest empire of its age.
• 980 BCE: Rebellious allied tribes in early Orioni appoint a Queen to better fight the Tigrai province of the Medani Empire.
• 900 BCE: Proto-Aloorian culture in Europa starts as various smaller groups are forced towards the sea by larger clans and realms. The proto-Aloorians focus on seafaring and the sea in general, seeing it as a new opportunity and a way to get away from their enemies.
• 800-300 BCE: The Axial age brings forth new ways of thinking regarding religion and philosophy, in a striking parallel development, without any obvious direct cultural contact between all the participating cultures. Key thinkers from this age had a profound influence on future philosophies and religions.
• 800 BCE:
  • First evidence of a single proto-Aloorian language, further aiding trade and knowledge sharing between the various areas. Organised religion starts playing a role as a singular, unified language enabled sharing the oral traditions of the various groups.
  • Proto-Tapelt civilizations collapse due to changing climate on the Palu Peninsula.
• 753 BCE: Ugeral the Savage proclaimed himself High King in Jilderen.
• 650-550 BCE: Proto-Tapelt diverged into the Old Tapelt and Old Pekateka.
• 536 BCE: Erwanin queendom defeats the Medani Empire is defeated and becomes the first Orioni Empire.

500-0 BCE

Eurth in 50 BCE.

• 500 BCE:
  • The Hereskus Empire in Memopotamia gains independence from the  Archaeminoan Empire.
  • Some untold disaster forces proto-Aloorians groups to come together and merge, heavily increasing the population density and forcing creative solutions for homelessness among new inhabitants.
  • The famous bog body Lackaroe Man, is estimated to have been born. Based on carbon dating, he was born sometime between 525-470 BCE and was Hanged (presumably ritual sacrifice) between 480-415 BCE.
• 475 BCE: Usage of derelict or otherwise unused ships as living space becomes common among proto-Aloorians. At first, these vessels are brought on land and used to build shelter; later on, shanty towns start to form on the water, with large families inhabiting multiple boats.
• 437 BCE: Vinmarian the Fair becomes ruler in Jilderen.
• 330 BCE: In Occidental Europa, the boy-king Andreas of Adthens dreamed of conquering the known world. Starting in his home city of Adthens, he conquered the four known corners of the Occident. His death came prematurely.
• 150 BCE: The Aroman Empire emerges in northwestern Europa. Built on top of the Alexandrian empire, they expand into a much larger territory by conquering central Europa.
• 110 BCE: Humyara Kingdom established in Azania.
• 50 BCE: Further expansion by foreign groups force the first groups of Aloorian travellers to exist. Generations of already living on ships aid those first groups with getting accustomed to the sea gypsy life.

0-500 CE

• 53 CE: Aayan Empire collapses in the Orient
• 59 CE: An Aroman merchant vessel, blown off its course, lands in Marenesia. Its wreck was found at the bottom of $Name Bay near Deopolis, Salvia. Amphoras found in the ship are in fact similar in shape to jars produced in kilns at Tellakois, on the west coast of Adaptus.
• 100 CE:
  • Proto-Aslo migration and invasion of the Palu Peninsula.
  • Tacolism becomes widespread in the Ibro River Valley. Disciples of Saints James the Greater, Saint Paul, and Saint John the Apostle establish a church in the walls of Léon dei Veio.

• 297 CE: The Burning of Arome marks the end of the Classical Age in Occidental historiography.
• 333 CE: Methodianus the Holy officially moves the capital of Arome to his newly built city of Europatorion. Some historians count this as the end of the Aroman Empire, and the start of Tagmatium, although it is still referred to as the former.
• 383 CE: Emperor Valentinianos I declared Christianity the state religion of the Aroman Empire.
• 420 CE: No sedentary groups remain, all Aloorians live on naval vessels for, at the least, the majority of the year. Due to the large size of the Europan waterways, the Aloorians slowly separate between Northern and Southern groups; each known for their own speciality, customs, and ship types.
• 450 CE:
  • Many of the various coastal regimes in Europa hired Aloorian vessels and groups for one reason or another at some point in time.
  • Proto-Aslo dominance of the Palu Peninsula at its greatest extent.

Post-Classical Era

The Post-Classical Era is marked by hereditary monarchs. Elites gain power from land and military dominance. Trade is controlled by guilds to limit production. Economic production occurs in homes. Serfs make up the bottom of society with limited rights. Faith in God is universally accepted, with reverence for the past. It shapes all intellectual life.

Early trans-Adlantic voyages resulted in a deadly exchange of epidemics, causing global catastrophe. Smallpox wiped out much of the Alharun population, while a "Marenesian Plague" ravaged Europa. It spread from Azania to the Old Wurld, resulting in multiple waves of resurgence in the 6th and 8th centuries. This caused a roughly 30% fall in the global population, alongside its New Wurld counterparts. It had a profound effect on almost all cultures and societies. The population reduction also had climatic effects. With less cultivated land, forests recovered, causing global cooling and the start of the "Little Ice Age" in the 10th century.

6th century

• 520s: Humyara Kingdom in Azania lost its independence, and became a tributary state of Qubdi.
• 555: The First Plague appeared in Noble Nykia. Raged across the continent of Europa, and persisted in small pockets until the circa 700.
• 561: Emperor Maurikios I died to the First Plague, which has been sweeping across the Occident.
• 575: Salamic Golden Age in Hakenium and Sa Hara. It lasts nearly five centuries until approximately 1250.

7th century

The combined three banners used by Nabi Hanan's forces.

• 661: Bishop Optatus of Sozaclea is deprived of his diocese and becomes an itinerant preacher, which marks the beginning of the Enlightened Aroman Church
• 665: For unknown reasons, anger grows in Gut Atmora and a war for independence from their home country of Atmora strikes. Atmora gains the upper hand for the first half of the war until the Atmoran general Ysgramor and his five sons joined the side of the rebels. Raising an army of 500 men and women known as the Zeymahzin, he drove back the Atmoran forces despite being outnumbered using his tactical know-how. By the end of the war, he valiantly proclaimed independence and his new rule over the lands of Vataanjunaar.

8th century

Codex Aromanum, c. 700.

• 700: The Léonid Kingdom rises to prominence by consolidating the fertile lands in the north of the Ibro Valley.

10th century

• 900-1400: The tenth century was the start of the Little Ice Age, a disruption in glubal climatic patterns. This resulted in generally cooler and wetter temperatures. These strongly affected the rainy season. In the fourteenth century, this manifested into a general trend of intense colds and snowfall in the polar steppes, irregular droughts in temperate climates, and seemingly unending rainfall in subtropical areas. It had a significant impact on farming harvests. This, in turn, led to increased conflict, human migration, spread of disease. Certainly not a good time to be alive.
• 916: The Battle of Aluiss Creek, is fought between rebelling Jarldoms from the Yetis Empire, and a couple of Cordic Kingdoms. The battle would in return create the first Gotneskan Kingdom, and be the downfall of the once almighty Yetlandi Empire.

Drive the searching storm of time. Keep a sigh so far away. Fall in strait and leaden rhymes. Slow, the path is bound for them, Drive the tribes and build a State. Maids and beauty of a gem,

Formed to close the lines of fate.

—Plebist revolutionary song, 1868.

This age lasts approximately from 1750-1900. Marked by strong political and industrial revolutions. This was a transitory period for much of the wurld.
