This is something I wrote ages ago that never got put into a non-dm forum due to personal lazyness, anyway here for historians and lovers of tedius background info is the basic pre-cordor history of Amia!

The history of Amia PC (Pre-Cordor)
??? The Time of the creator races, the small tropical Island of what will today be Amia becomes home to a mad Cleric of Tiamat seeking to doimate the rest of her reptilian race. Many evil dragons come to Amia so they may bask in the glory of High Priestess Kaedre.

??? The creator race wages war with Kaedre forceing her into slumber along with many of her worshipers deep with in the earth. They kill or drive away all the dragons but a handfull of whites and greens liveing in the skull crags. The creator race then dominate the island.

??? The Native Myrats a race of Iron skined giants are enslaved and forced to build a dark temple to focus the power of the creators in the vally of the skull crags. The temple is then used to create a race of twsited violent hybreds from the peaceful Myrats called Mylocks. This also costs the Myrats the lives of the females of their race dooming them to slow extinction. The Temple is also used to spawn other slaves, horrid beastmen and Yetis but to name a few things spawned by its dark magic.

??? The Creator race is defeated and the age of dragon and reptilian rule comes to its end. The first elven king and queen grant the few remaining Myrats with imortality so they may guard the dark temple agenst future evil. The Mylocks free of their masters flee into the wilderness. The Beastmen hide in caverns in the earth and many of the creatures created by the dark temple flee across the island. Time passes and the age of ice claims much of Toril.

??? The ages of ice ends and Much time passes the drow fall and history goes on, the Mylocks slowly start to rise from barbarism and begin to worship the abyssal lord of Minotuars Baphomet. The beatsmen not so lucky only sink more into thier feral nature and losse any hope of reclaiming the glory of the race who created them. The Whites and greens are no longer found in the Skull crags but the mountain wyrms greenish dragons with ice breath are belived to be the results of breeding between the two.

From here we will use DR (Dale rekoning as it is the accepted manner of historical keeping in Faerun)

-2637 The recorded history of humans begins as the first human cultures Chult and soon Mulhorand are founded. The elven empire is at its peak. The Mylocks found a great city and claim a culture that could one day rule the island. Their lands are what is now bloodmoon pass, the Mylock hills, Wyrmhold and the Bitter coast. Ages pass as the Mylock nation grows into an empire, they war with the savage beast men and much goes on while the Myrats continue to guard the temple.

1 The year of the Sunrise Dale reckoning begins.

261 The year of Soaring stars Myth Drannors Mythal is laid. Meanwhile the elves at the height of their great empire build a settlement on the island of Amia. The blood thirsty Mylocks attack the elves for so much as seting foot on the island. However Elven high magic and suppior combat stragity drive back the Mylocks who are no match for the elves. Unknown to the elves the drow have eyes on Amia as well and establish a fortress and build a dark tower that rises to the surface at the spot that is now Cordor they start to fight the elves in an atempt to claim the island.

650 year of the Dark night The drow and elves of Amia turn thier sporadic fighting into full war. The save conflict sees the Mylocks made slaves to the drow and much of thier culture declines under harsh drow rulership. The begining of the end of the Mylock empire starts.

700 year of the Falling swords The elves are driven back and forced to flee from Amia takeing much of what they made with them. Drow victory comes a price however the Dark Tower is colapsed and the drow fortress is burried leaveing only a few sporadic houses and entrances to the surface left. Free of the drow and trying to reclaim thier glory the Mylocks Build Stonehold. Sadly all they do is bring the atention of a devil who enslaves them. The Mylock race never recoveres from its fall into barbarism and even thier great city eventualy falls to ruin. For ages Amia remains uninhabited save for tribes of humanoids, Human barbarians who worship Malar (decendents of drow slaves).

1000 Year of Wailing winds, Humans land on Amia and its current history begins. Cordor is built and ruled by the first duke. Benwick is founded shortly after.

It can't be 1368 Ravenovf, We have a temple of waukeen, bane is alive, the harpers are factioned, comyr had its civil war and the Shade is present as well as wild magic.

A conservative estimate is placing amia 5 years ahead of the current storyline of fr. This way we can basically be 'put' of problems.

//the MCS states that we're in 1600 DR o_o

Well the timeline was old and I havent updated in awhile, plus at the time the only FR books I had were 2nd edition and the timeline was further back.

//I always wondered why the mylocks had such great architecture for such a barbaric race. I'd be interested in any more history about other places on Amia.
