Well, you’re new to the island so you do not know much of the history and things that are going on, there is your RP. Not knowing in itself can be the gateway to allot of RP for you as well as others you are interacting with. When you find yourself with a group that is talking about things you do not know then ask questions about it all. Asking in game will produce more RP for you then asking in PMs.

Helm and Tyr didn't fight and die over Tymora on our server, Eilistraee, Vhaeraun, and Kiaransalee are still around

The Grand History of the Amian Realms
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following timeline presents some notable events in the history of canon Forgotten Realms alongside some notable events in the history of Amia. Amia is set in the Forgotten Realms, and follows the setting's official history until the end of year 1373. All canon lore up to that point applies to Amia, unless the DM Team specifically states otherwise. No canon lore after 1373 applies to Amia, unless the DM Team specifically states otherwise. The Spellplague has not happened, gods have not died, Myth Drannor has not been restored, etc. The current state of some unfinished business is described at the end of the timeline.

Thanks to its fortunate location and the hard work of its citizens, the halfling town soon grows prosperous. Randy ”the Blue Hin” becomes the first mayor of Bendir Dale.


1371 DR, Year of the Unstrung Harp

The Trial of Cyric the Mad. Kelemvor's role as a stern and strict judge is emphasized with renewed vigor, and Mystra no longer keeps magic from evil mortals. (Crucible - knowledge of this would be very limited among mortals.)

The Simbul is sighted on Amia. She convenes in the Tower of Mystra, and later is rumored to have visited Brogendenstein and Kohlingen, who close local Thayvian Enclaves and evict the Red Wizards the night of her visit. As Cordor is about to follow their example, the Thayvians reportedly barricade themselves inside the city orphanage. As a result of Red Wizard, guard and adventurer involvement, what's known as the ”Cordor Orphanage Fire” ensued and children were killed. The Red Wizards were reportedly slaughtered to the last man. The tragedy ignited a persecution of everything Thayvian, and surviving Red Wizards fled, abandoning all enclaves in the region.


1372 DR, Year of Wild Magic

Bane bursts out of Xvim, reclaiming the Fear portfolio and becoming a greater power after 14 years of absence/death.

City of Shade returns to Faerûn from the Plane of Shadow. Some months later, the island of Tarkuul ascends from the depths.

The city's mythal is restored. (The Return of the Archwizards)

Cormyr learns that Shadovar are melting the High Ice and crippling the Heartlands. They begin preparations for an attack on Shade. The two armies battle in Tilverton. Vangerdahast, court mage of Cormyr, uses a magic weapon that, due to Shadow Weave influence, destroys Tilverton, leaving nothing but a smoking crater behind.

Deamonfey settle in Myth Glaurach

The Great Seal is broken, and Deep Imaskari spies slowly and discreetly return to the world.

Volcanic eruptions in the Smoking Mountains bury the Citadel of Black Ash under lava.

Tremors beneath the crust of Toril cause massive devastation on the Amian coast. The foundations of Cordor shift, flooding some of the tunnels beneath and creating others. Much of the city itself collapses or tumbles into the sea. The nearby island of Lumorier inexplicably disappears, supposedly sunken or exploded in vulcanic eruptions.

Cordorian gold, persistance and the goodwill of its neighbours enable a tremendous feat: within the year, much Cordor is rebuilt, improved and even expanded. Soon after, Cordor annexes Wharftown for political and military purposes. This is a brief period, and Wharftown regains its independency on good terms with Cordor.


1373 DR, Year of Rogue Dragons

Sammaster transforms the old Dracorage Mythal, starting a Rage without the appearance of the King-Killer Star. Various dragon attacks ensue, destroying Ylraphon on the Dragon Reach, Trenahess in Cormanthor, a Zhent garrison in Elmwood, and killing summertime inhabitants of Tangled Trees. Abbey of the Just Hammer is damaged, and the Monastery of the Yellow Rose is besieged (but later saved by metallics). Impilturan army in the Grey Forest get in trouble with a raging bronze, a spirit dragon helps them destroy a Cult of the Dragon lair in the forest.

New Tilverton is built in Cormyr, near the old town's dark crater

The mighty dragon Tchazzar returns to life and Toril by the will of Tiamat and wreaks havoc in Chessenta, hunting on other local dragons. He assumes rulership of the city of Cimbar.

Soon after Cordor pulls out, an occupation of a different sort befalls Wharftown: Banites take over, much to the distress of many citizens. The temple of Selûne is desecrated and dedicated to the Black Hand. After the Banites finally pull out from Wharftown, Garth becomes mayor of the hamlet. The temple of Bane is razed to the ground.

Simultaneously – though possibly unconnected - with the Rage, the events of the Wyrmshadow Prophecy unfold on Amia. The Dark Flight attack Kohlingen, and are finally destroyed in Wyrmhold. What was once Stonehold, and home to many kinds of villainy during the years, is now but an abandoned ruin.

[Here ends canon Forgotten Realms!]


1374 DR, Year of Lightning Storms

Lightnings strike all over, meteors rain at some places. Tiamat and Bahamut instruct followers in visions to go to those spots, as there are dragon eggs there.

Sarya Dlardrageth frees deamonfey from Nar Kerymhoarth, the Nameless Dungeon, and starts a war on Evereska and High Forest. Seiveril leads volunteers from Evermeet on a Crusade to help. Silverymoon help. The campaign in High Forest ends in driving the deamonfey out of Myth Glaurach. Elves begin looking for the hiding Fey'ri army. (Last Mythal. Note: only Forsaken House happened.)

Sunlord Daelegoth Orndeir embraces the Risen Sun heresy: that Lathander was once the Netherese god Amaunator, and that his transformation back into that form is nigh. Daelegoth's achievements, such as fighting shades in Karse and dragons of the Smokespire, and miraculously praying for abundant rainfall and bountiful fiends in Eversult, increase the heresy's support signifigantly. The Lathanderite leaders in Waterdeep, Marsember and Ordulin declare that Daelegoth's beliefs are heresy, and threathen him with excommunication. Part of the Order of the Sun Soul support Daelegoth. New converts flock to Eversult, and Daelegoth succesfully casts ”Amaunator's Eternal Sun,” creating a second, miniature sun that never sets over the town.

In Amn, the Council of Six and the Sothillisian empire come to a reluctant truce to defend against Oaxaptuta, beginning the Stinger War.

In midsummer, the creature to be known as Vodak makes its first appearance. The year is almost over before the matter is solved once and for all.

In Wharftown the Selûnite temple is finally rebuilt, thanks to generous donations from faithful and other adventurers.


1376 DR, Year of the Bent Blade:

The Day of Revolution in Cordor: The Law Knights, led by Sir Mark Dorne, approach the Duke's Palace. Soon after, they exit the Duke's Palace and proclaim that Duke Montgomery d'Cordor has willingly abdicated his rule over Cordor. In the following week, a provisional government is formed. The Council, the acting provisional government, makes a public promise of free elections, so that the citizens may have their rightful say in who leads the ministries. A Constitution is immediately approved and publicized, giving hope to a lost community that the government can still remain organized with the abdication of the Duke.

Eight months after the Day of Revolution, the South District State Prison is bombed from the sewers. Twenty-something inmates and guards die in the explosion and the collapse, and their names are announced by Hector L. Carton. Included among the dead were Sergeant Verrault and, to the shock of the Commonwealth, Citizen Montgomery d'Cordor, who was being held in the bombed tower. Hector L. Carton posthumously absolves Duke Montgomery of his crimes against the State. He is immediately assumed to have been a target. The culprits, Mynna and Yurioji, are set on the Commonwealth's Most Wanted List.

Talosians appeal to Talos and invite the god to take his vengeance upon Cordor. Collin Reyes invokes powerful magic to block the worst of the storm, and taunts the Storm Lord. Enraged by this hubris, the storm moves on northern Cordor outskirts, unprotected by the city's ward, and lays waste to the farmland.

Centuries old wards shatter in Ankh'remun in Khem, causing the desert to be engulfed in eternal night as undead ravage the region led by a mysterious cleric named "Zan'thun". Nes'ek is destroyed in the war that ensues, but adventurers manage to penetrate his lair and destroy the source of his power, bringing an end to his reign just as it reaches its first peak.

The Black Caravan begins making appearances on Amia.


1377 DR, Year of the Haunting:

In Cordor, Minister of Law Hector L. Carton falls ill. Minister of Magic Collin Reyes leaves the island of Amia, gathering magicians for a research team for the Ministry of Magic. Johnathin Leohnard. Minister of Health and Public Welfare, is found dead behind the Commonwealth Center, a great gash cut into his chest. He is assumed to have been murdered....by an adventurer.

An ancient relic, a chalice marked with symbols of Mystra, falls into the hands of the Mystran Weave Knights. Sharrans seek the object and during the many arcane battles that ensue the Monolith in Ruathym is nearly completely destroyed. The "Nightmaster", the Sharran sect leader, tricks the Weave Knights into nearly completing a devastating ritual, however he is slain before his plans bear fruit and both the Chalice and the Weave return to safety.

The lands of Winya Ravana are invaded by ogres, lizardmen and beastmen during what would later become known as the War of Trampled Leaves. While the war is relatively brief, it's incredibly bloody. Hundreds upon hundreds of monsters are slain in the by the besieged elves and their allies of Kohlingen. The war ends after a series of precise military strikes which eliminate the enemy leaders and splinter the horde of monsters.

The Thayvian Menace returns, and gets publically thrashed by the Commonwealth.

One Year after the Day of Revolution, Joseph Maximillian delivers the first State of the Commonwealth Speech. In it, he openly declares war on the adventuring community, and proclaims the necessity for Certificates of Citizenship, if the Provisional Government is to make good on its promise of providing free elections.

Caravan tensions hit a head. the Kelemvorite Temple and Benwick Hollow is attacked resulting in the destruction of the Kelemvorite Temple.

BLACK commits terrorist activities until their leader, Richard Johnson, is captured by a knight of Wiltun and delivered to Cordor. He is placed on trial, and summarily found guilty and sentenced to execution.

Collin Reyes is assassinated upon his return to Cordor...by a seagull. Terrified of the implications, Joseph Maximillian delivers a paranoid edict: that all seagulls are to be bolted and murdered in the streets.

After Reyes's death, a troubling curtain that has disrupted and muffled the divinations of mages and priests alike for some months is apparently lifted. Divinations yield results again.


1378 DR, Year of the Cauldron:

Amia forest is thrown into turmoil: an overpopulation of non-predators shake the forest's ecosystem. Foreign predators are introduced, but prove to be too efficent. Many of the immigrants wander off or are slain. Finally, the Kossuthan Circle of Six comes to deliver judgement. The forest is considered fine for now, but the Circle stays to keep watch.

The Black Caravan makes a resurgence, and immediate clashes with the Church of Bane and the Eternal Order of Kelemvor cause the Caravan to issue another edict of war. It later rescinds it's war declaration against the Kelemvorites.



Faerûn post-1373:

Mulhorand's complete conquest of Unther is still delayed by low-level skirmishing around the realm and the persistent resistance in Messemprar. Tchazzar has cemented his rule of Chessenta.

After some inconclusive but bloody battles, the Kingdom of Dark Arrows and the Silver Marches have settled into an unofficial, uneasy truce. While orc bands occasionally skirmish with the Argent Legion, King Obould seems content to stabilize his orcish kingdom and prepare for a long reign – amazingly enough.

Amaunator does not return as swiftly as some expected,. Over the next few years after Daelegoth's miracles, many repenting heretics return to orthodox Lathanderism. The Risen Sun cult remains strong, however, and the Eternal Sun over Eversult gives reason for doubt: are the heretics right, is Amaunator coming after all? Lathander's church is still in internal turmoil. Tension, suspicion and uncertainty hang in the air.

After the High Forest campaign, some elves return to Evermeet. Many stay on Faerûn to garrison Myth Glaurach and wait for a chance to confront the Fey'ri once and for all. Occasional skirmishes between elves and deamonfey occur over the next few years, a prolonged state of guerilla war. A visible elven presence has returned to Faerûn, but they are spread out thin and, in a sense, weaker than ever. Since its losses during Nimesin's betrayal and the Crusade, Evermeet has become reclusive and paranoid. After the phaerimm and Fey'ri attacks, Evereska is far from the peak of their power, either.

Cormyr continues to have troubles with Shade Enclave. Having lost their king and the stern watch of Vangerdahast, some nobles have become bolder and more independent. Azoun V is soon to be of age, however, and the Steel Regent Alusair rules the land with determination and skill. The citizens are as proud as ever to be Cormytes, and have worked together to lift the nation back on its feet

Having been raised in a barrel is always a good excuse. If you don't read the Inter-Planar Times further than page 3 succubus and comics, you probably don't know the details of what's going on.
