The First Chronilogical History of Jodamia
Up to year 4300
(Will be updated as soon as new information comes available from the Scribe.)

Westerlands Calendar started when the elves landed in the Glyda River Valley. (Dates before Westerlands Calendar shown with a minus sign.ie. -5000)

JODAMIA
Settlement is only in the great Northern continent. There are no other known liveable continents or islands; although there are rumours of volcanoes and earthquakes far out to sea. Terrible storms and waves have been known to come from there.
Human Settlements
-5000 to -3000 Fishing and farming communities from neolithic times.(See note about the Garm.)
-2000 Attacks of marauding pirates and northern vikmen
0050 Vik Karl Erik Bloodhorn overran the whole of the SW to Mesquite and sacked the early settlement.
1000 to 1050 Goblin night. Goblins killed thousands over the next fifty years. Eventually the Westerlands army with help from the elves, dwarves and gnomes, trapped the Goblin King and wiped the goblin horde out in the great battle of Nigreth Fond.
1000 Onwards. The communities form a loose alliance and on 1546 humans formed one nation in the edict of Thorm. Humans spread out eastwards and in time, those in the east became the Erdish Nation possibly interbreeding with the Vikmen. Settlements of other races, elves, dwarves, gnomes, seftlin are found in various places.
4300 Goblin and Kob raids again started in the Mesquite area.

Vikmen
Settlements in the far north. Raiding and settling occurs over most of the known history. It is thought that they are the part ancestors of the Erds. Some increase in numbers of raids in 4300.

Erds
2300 They occupy the vast plains to the east. Their capital is Voisin. Responsible for much of the slaving.

Elves
The elves are a space faring race, seeding the galaxy and assisted by second order Dragons which have Hyperspace abilities.
Elvish History on Jodamia
0001 Elves under King Elarhune and the great Golden Dragon Grold Saumnur landed in the Glyda River Area.
1000 Lethelorel built in the Star Valley.
1500 City of Annelin at its highest development. Fairest city of the elves in the West while Queen Eosil ruled.
1700 Star Ring Forged.
1750 Sword Incisor and Axe Gridor Forged.
1800 sundering of the elf nation. The castle of Lethelorel remaining with the light, the City becoming evil. The City of Annelin renamed Aathlin by the elfene.
1802 Noldcrast the wise first appeared to later take the name Aasphari, and lead the City of Aathlin further into Necromancy.
1850 About this time Sashar the original purple dragon a scion of Golden Ursam trapped, taken and turned, becoming Gouthbund the purple. And then disappears.
1984 Monk Ignatious first appeared.
2300 Aasphari summons the Greater Arch-demon Heckke and on Gouthbund attempts to annhialate the elves.
The Star Castle and all elves in the valley disappear. Aasphari is taken by the demon as well. Elves surviving in Jodamia leave the valley and make the long journey in exile to found the city of Estamon. The village of Este (vigil in elvish) remains just outside the valley formed of those who wish to maintain a vigil for the lost ones.

Throughout Jodamia groups of the Elf nation form scattered sub groups. Three main groups remain of the High elves, east Estamon Castle, the Elf communities established before the catastrophe in Westerlands and Sea Elves in the far west, and a few to Dymdale and Voisin on the Erdish Plains.

Sea Elves
1800 These elves established themselves in the Ribbon Valley and a strong seafaring tradition. Trading all along the coasts.
1905 Continual battle with the Vikmen from time to time until in this year the truce of Setar was agreed. When the only ever agreement with the Vikmen was recorded. The Vikmen never penetrated the Ribbon Fjord, the elvish defence defied their sorcerer generals.
2500 King Ildemar the first became king after the catastrophe, and the loss of the Star Castle was accepted. They did not wish to come under the sway of Estamon or worse Aathlin until its earthquake.

Elfenes in Aathlin
Pride and arrogance split the elvish nation.
A terrible earthquake plunged the city and surroundings into ruin. Few survived to live near Kob communities.

Estamon Elves
This in taken from the time when the Star Valley was lost.
2300 The Great Migration east starts
2400 Herun fortress built
2450 Castle of Estamon built and a new king’s halls established, new lands settled, Amene and Gildore
2458 first contact with seflin folk settlement of Orchard and Scuttledown ford, thought to predate the elvish settlement by several hundred years. There was some friction at first, but slowly the seflin became accepted and left alone to run their own affairs.
2500 A new age proclaimed and the first of the new age Kings was Nestil the Tall.
2872 Immedone settled in the far east where the Immedone river issues into the sea. The great buff of Intecar became the fortress around which it formed.
2874 Landward migration of urches was first recorded.
2890 First battle with verrochs in Immedone, coming up from the sea.
3000 Erdish Wars
3100 Truce of Dymdale

Elves in Star Valley/Este
Those who chose to be the watchguard in the valley slowly formed the Village of Este just outside the valley on one of the tracks into it. In time they forgot the reason they were there. The valley suddenly became a place of forbidding during this time.

Gnomes
-5000 Original race on Jodamia together with the Dwarves and Goblins. Main centre in the far western peninsula, Picklyland. The Capital is Mayfle under the shadow of the Stakhorn.
Another strong colony was founded in the Gnome Iron Spike. More colonies formed on the island of Limuria and the Seagnomes in the Stoney Islands off the peninsula to the southwest.

Dwarves Delfteron
-5000 Settlement grew up around the Lakes and Falls of Delfteron. In time a great Castle fortress and city was founded.

Dwarves Annogi
The followers of the God Nog, the dwarvish god of the earth. The followers became estranged, not only from their God, but from the main stream dwarves and died out.
The other dwarves revolted and cast them out, together with the vikmen.

Goblins
-5000 Settlements throughout Jodamia, especially in the mountains.

Kobs
-5000 Settlements throughout Jodamia, especially in the mountains.

Dragons
Little is known about these fabulous creatures’ lore. Dragons degenerate each generation.
The 1st order are star-faring and are only known by the eggs they leave in lonely moon caves.
The 2nd order are found by the Elf Seekers and help navigate the elves’ space ships, especially the super seeder ships, one or two to a ship. Golden Ursam was one of these. As the generations progress the abilities decrease so that by the 5th order they are mostly animal.

Garm
These Spacefarers were thought to have seeded the human populations throughout the galaxy. Between –5000 and –3000 no dates were known for Jodamia.

Gue vague rumours of predatory peoples preying on luckless planets.
