Message: <blockquote data-quote="wlmartin" data-source="post: 6503266" data-attributes="member: 6679380">EDIT : Snake people = Ophidians, Lizard people = SstharI fleshed this out considerably more recently.I decided to do away with Dragon Kin / Draco and just make Draco. I realized that I could make 5 metallic dragon races and that was plenty of choice. In doing so I could further split them up by having the Gold and Silver Draco be the "Large, can't fly, have big breath weapon" types and the Brass, Bronze and Copper Draco be the "regular sized, can fly, have no breath weapon" type. It would then serve as a hierarchal structure where due to their size and power, the gold/silver typically reign whilst the lower class of Draco get to be the snazzy ones.I used the AD&D worldbuilding guide book to help flesh the history out a bit. The history building part was more about coming up with the types of events than rolling for the specific occurances. It also helped me figure how to make an ancient timeline and a recent timeline work together.I welcome any thoughts on this, both for the content and structure of the timelineHere is what I came up with in the end :NOTE : the year tag "A" refers to the main calendar, stands for Arum, to mark the ascenssion of the first Dragon Lord into the heavens and this calendar is established in 730 Athe year tag "BDU" refers to the replacement of the Arum calendar system, it makes the creation of the Draconic Union and occurs at 2000 A, where all further historical events use the newer calendar- I have also already come up with a calendar for the Chromatic Dragons and the Ophidians, but thats something more RP based that would come into play if/when they encounter those races and perhaps have to decipher a text or reference that works off a different calendar.-4500 A Last known records of a humanoid race called the Primar-4000 A The Dra'ha the great Dragon empire was formed-3200 A Discovery of magic by the Dra'ha-2800 A A goldern age of prosperity for the Dra'ha-2600 A The great war between Metallic and Chromatic Dragon clans starts-2100 A End of the great Dragon warFoundation of the Dracovar (organization of Chromatic Dragons)-1500 A First Ophidians and Ssthar seen in the realm-1200 A Ophidians and Ssthar seen to expand across the realm0 A Arumar, the Gold Dragon Lord ascends to become a God400 A Last of the Dragon Lords ascends to GodhoodFoundation of the Duschal (organization of Metallic Draco)Foundation of the Xathir (organization of Chromatic Draco)730 A Duschal found their religion formed from the ascended Metallic Dragon LordsFoundation of the calendar of the Duschal950 A Xathir establish their religion formed from the ascended Chromatic Dragon LordsFoundation of the calendar of the Xathir1220 A First appearance of Wyverngar Tribes1280 A The Imperial Sai, the great Ophidian empire was foundedThe Imperial Sai found their religion worshiping a single deity called the Great SerpentFoundation of the calendar of the Imperial Sai1330 A Emperor Asthla is crowned to the Imperial Sai and the great Asthla dynasty begins1390 A Civil war amongst the Duschal starts1450 A Civil war amongst the Duschal ends1470 A The Imperial Sai invade the Duschal1550 A The Imperial Sai Emperor, Asthla IX completes the conquest of the Duschal1630 A Imperial Sai lands raided by the Xathir1730 A Metallic Draco revolt against the ocupation by the Imperial Sai1810 A Metallic Draco drive out the Ophidian Imperial Sai from their landMetallic Draco re-establish the Duschal1900 A The revolution against the Imperial Sai begins1940 A The revolution against the Imperial Sai endsThe Imperial Sai is disolvedFoundation of the Serpentium (organization of Ophidians)0 BDU Foundation of the Draconic Union (organzation of Metallic Draco)Foundation of a new calendar for the Draconic Union90 BDU Draconic Union brokers a peace between themselves and the Serpentium100 BDU Civil war amongst the Xathir starts130 BDU Civil war amongst Xathir endsThe age of blood begins as Chromatic Draco clans fight amongst themselvesThe Xathir is disolved and split into their blood clans160 BDU A golden age of prosperity reigns for the Draconic Union250 BDU The first of the great Dragon Towers are constructed in the Draconic Union capital320 BDU Dracovar raid Wyvengar lands and Wyvengar refugees travel to the Draconic Union390 BDU Pyros becomes Great Lord of his blood clan396 BDU Foundation of the Chromatic Communion (organization of Chromatic Draco)401 BDU The Chromatic Communion begin raiding the Draconic Union407 BDU Further raids by the Chromatic Communion against the Draconic Union409 BDU Jythal appointed leader of the Draconic Union412 BDU Draconic Union begins a Crusade against the Chromatic Communion436 BDU The Crusade of the Draconic Union ends436 BDU The Chromatic Communion sede territory to the Draconic Union in accords with the peace treatyThe Draconic Union returns the ancesteral land of the Wyverngar to its people441 BDU Serpentium is subject to a Coup d'état as the Ssthar warlord, Ithiss takes the capital city443 BDU Foundation of Ithisar (organization of Ssthar)Lord Ithiss banishes Ophidians from his land445 BDU Ophidian refugees travel from the former Serpentium lands to the Draconic Union460 BDU Aralur appointed leader of the Draconic Union463 BDU Present Day</blockquote>
