History
Pre-Great Flight Rouseiner Callais Origins
500 BCE: Non-Callais Raunzhen tribe in today's northern coast of Callais
Known Raunzhen Chieftains:
Samunni (?300 BCE?)
Remilun (?50 CE?)
Belliced (631 - 658?)
Ceduni the Brave (672? - 698? CE) Last Known Raunzhen Chieftain
700 CE: Callais wipes out the original Raunzhen tribe, beginning the Duchy of Roieunséne under early Callais Monarchy
Dukes of Roieunséne:
Alain the Knight (?701 - 710) Alain was given the dukeship of Roieunséne for his contribution to the invasion of the Raunzhen tribe.
704 CE: Duke Alain becomes the king's marshal
710 CE: Duke Alain dies in the battle of Lavigne
Charlon the Seaman (710 - 742) Fascinated by the sea, he began the mass construction of longships, inspired by the original Raunzhen tribe that built them since the fourth century BC. Charlon's voyage sailed into today's Galavaria and raided local settlements while being there.
714 CE: Beginning of longship mass construction inspired by Rauzhen longship tradition
722 CE: Duke Charlon's northern voyage, first contact with Galavaria
725 CE: Raiding of Galavarian coastal settlements
731 CE: Boom of Roieunséne's slave market
Galtier the Colonizer (742 - 764) He continued sailing efforts and established the first permanent colonial settlements in the Northern continent. Duchy of Roieunséne thrived from raiding local natives and was getting insanely rich from the slave market. However, the king of Callais wanted to tax Roieunséne's spoils, which escalated into a conflict. Galtier tried to hire mercenaries and even made slaves fight, but he still just couldn't match the strength and size of the king's army. So he flew with his subjects on approximately 140 crowded longships with approximately 15 500 people on them to the Northern continent, approximately 500 people didn't survive. Which marks the end of Rousein's Callais origins.
743 CE: Establishment of the first permanent colony in the Northern continent
755 CE: Even more colonies by 755
760 CE: A robust 10 meters statue of Duke Galtier is built by slaves, whose head and torso are preserved and displayed in Callais museum
761 CE: War with Callais
763 CE: The southern part of the duchy is occupied by the king
764 CE: The Great Flight - 140 crowded longships with approximately 15 000 people on them successfully escape to the Northern continent
Kingdom of Nou-Roieunséne
After the Great Flight, Galtier the Colonizer proclaimed himself a king, and colonies of former Roieunséne under Callais Monarchy became an independent entity. His seat and the center of the new kingdom were located in today's Compaugnoesten, on the southwestern coast of today's Rousein where he built himself a fortress. This kingdom as a whole consisted of today's coastal Compagnouesten, coastal Lecorriporteim, coastal Debraunnau, coastal Barbouille, coastal Xièterre, and the most southern part of the coast of Schauscallei. Galtier already knew at that time that nearby lands were inhabited by native Alenners. Throughout history, native Alenners will blend with Roieunsénais forming the Rouseinisch language and the Rouseiner ethnic and cultural identity. Although some of them will be enslaved and slain. Galtier eventually died in 773 at the age of 59. His remains have survived and been found and are enshrined in Ruheingudernstag (meaning the Greatest Resting Place) in the capital city of Milieugar. We also know from the analysis of his remains that he died from a neoplasm (tumor). His successor Galtier II took the reigns and ruled Nou-Roieunséne for 22 years even though we don't know much about him. There's no evidence that Galtier II and Galtier the Colonizer were related and his remains have never been found. Some Rouseiner historians say that he didn't hold any real power at all but the council comprised of six maires (mayors). He supposedly died in 795 and his alleged son Levier took his place. Levier the Silver was much better documented than his alleged father and is generally respected by Rouseiner historians as an energetic ruler who significantly strengthened the state and expanded its territory. His accomplishments include significant economic development due to an expansion in trade and the introduction of silver mining in today's Moirlan zet Alvenar although he allegedly enslaved over 2,000 natives comprised of Alenners, Galavarians, and even Lisennisans. He ruled from 795 and died in 842 at the age of 70. His remains have also survived and are enshrined in Ruheingudernstag. He died of natural causes. There's no real evidence that he was related to Galtier the Colonizer either. Upon his death, Levier was succeeded by his eldest son Valionel, founding the Levier dynasty. Valionel subjugated some of the Alenner tribes of today's Unzerlan-Grannebergen and some of the northeastern tribes of today's Debraunnau. Valionel allegedly waged war with the Lisennisan High King although there's no evidence to cover this and we don't know the real purpose or reason of this war. Rouseiner historian Heinrik Aymer says that the war escalated after King Valionel raided Lisennis and wiped out a whole settlement that should have been located on the very southeastern coast of today's Lisennis. Valionel married an Allener woman and had five children. He died in the year 876 at the age of 62 and ruled the Kingdom of Nou-Roieunséne for 34 years. His remains are enshrined in Ruheingudernstag. His second son Eudo the Atrocious took his place. He is notorious for the murder of his elder brother Valen the Kind, through which he became the first in line to inherit the throne. Despite his complicity in this fratricide, he subjugated some of the Alenner tribes of today's Schauscallei and the north of today's Compaugnoesten and he started the construction of an aqueduct in today's Moirlan zet Alvenar, where he also expanded the silver mines. He died in the year of 899 at the age of 44.
