History of Volta

-399 The Hadran Empire conquers the general region of present day Niman up to the Icewood forest and Anymdin Mountains. Barbarian resistance in these areas forces Hadran to consolidate its holdings before attempting further expansion. The Hadrani found Gorm Kherz as the capital of this new province.

-392 Xakenna Gorm consolidates the holdings which become present day Niman, but in the process Gorm Kherz is sacked by the previously displaced Ram tribe barbarians, who negotiate a peace granting them citizenship and lands within the region.

-391 The two barbarian nations of Phoenix and Bear unify under the leadership of Lina Birna, a charismatic and fearsome woman. The first great tribal council is held. The powerful Wolf nation refuses to bend its knee to the new alliance but assures them of their friendship.

-390 The Hadran Empire attacks the Kingdoms of Myrr and Quentari and is repelled, suffering heavy losses.

-353 General Crassus leads his expedition east around Crystal Lake and founds New Hadran. He commences building a massive fortification to repel constant barbarian assaults.

-340 General Crassus leads two legions of his expedition north into the Frostpeak Mountains and is never seen again although signs of battle and discarded equipment are found later that year by scouts attempting to make contact. His third legion remains at New Hadran.

-320 The second great tribal council is held, and a set of unified laws, drafted by Ulfgar Birna, are agreed upon by all the tribes. The Wolf Nation representatives also agree to unify their laws to prevent abuse of the borders.

-205 The third great council is held and a decision is made to use the name Volta for their lands. The name comes from the location of the first three great councils in the Anymdin Mountains. Once again the Wolf Nation is asked to join fully with Volta and refuses cordially.

-200 Strife between the Phoenix and Bear nations erupts into all out war between the factions. The war ends in -190 with an uneasy truce presided over by Johanna Birna.

-83 The Hadrani forces in the Niman region are weakened as many are sent to aid in what is described as a "Great War against Evil" west of the Rintir River.

-66 through -62 The Voltans invade the lands currently known as Niman, causing horrific damage using some type of magical plague that destroys entire cities. The Voltans finally withdraw after pillaging much of the region.

-61 Varkyl Dorf, the provincial governor, places bounties on the heads of Voltan Barbarians. Any living barbarians that are captured are forced into slavery. This is the beginning of slavery in the lands of Niman.

112 After decades of isolation from the rest of the Hadran Empire, Gorm Kherz and its surrounding province declare independence.

114 The Kingdom of Niman is founded.

137 Civil war again tears Volta apart. Ancient Phoenix and Bear rivalries erupt into open warfare across Volta, lasting five bloody years until a peace is reached. Leif Birna, largely responsible for bringing peace between the factions, is nicknamed "Bearslayer" after killing the High Chief of the Bear Nation in a duel after refusing to negotiate peace. The nickname sticks and the surname Bearslayer is used alternatively with Birna from this day forward.

142 Leif Birna marries Margaery Whitewolf daughter of the Wolf Nation chief to solidify the alliance between the two realms.

272 King Ulson III of Evendarr defeats the barbarians in the Tower Hills in modern day Ashbury, finishing the first Northern Campaign.

304 The Duchy of Ashbury is founded in the now consolidated lands conquered by the first Northern Campaign.

311 The fourth great council reorganizes Volta into four distinct regions controlled by their ancient factions: Dinsdale, Cathym, Anym, and Zarkym. It is agreed that each region will decide in its own way who is to be their High Chief. These High Chiefs will swear fealty to the ancient Birna family Chief, who will be named Grand Chief and High Lord of Volta.

440 The Wolf Nation barbarians living North of Volta come under heavy attack from greenskins, and the Snake Nation barbarians.

452 Wolf's Lair the last fortress of the Wolf Nation falls to the greenskins and Snake nation forces. Refugees scatter and flee into Northern Volta.

499 The Kingdom of Niman joins Evendarr by treaty, which allows them to keep their practice of slavery.

507 Queen Lorelei I's diplomatic scouts engage the Voltans.

508 Queen of Evendarr's Seneschal arrives at Asland, Voltan capital, and extends an offer for the Voltans to join the Kingdom. Voltan warchief refuses offer, and the Seneschal leaves without trouble.

508 Queen's Armies from Ashbury, Niman, Rotaria, and Evendarr poise themselves on the borders of Volta.

508 Argent Bearslayer of Volta assembles the warchiefs of Volta, and convinces them it would be a futile fight. Unified under Argent, the warchiefs meet with the Queen of Evendarr and her generals. High Chief from Dinsdale storms out of the council meetings, and takes his troops home over the Anymdin Mountains. In a show of good faith, due to the progress in the talks, the Queen orders the Rotarian forces to remove themselves from the border.

509 Rotarians leave, feeling personally disgraced by the Queen. The Duke of Rotaria is insulted, and bitter.

509 Council concludes and the Queen announces to the armies assembled that Argent will be the new Duke of Volta. The High Chiefs of Cathym, Anym, and Zarkym are made the Barons of their respectful lands.

509 Formal ceremony bestowing title on Argent is held. The Duke of Rotaria is not in attendance, and is later reprimanded by the Queen. Argent and the Queen order that Dinsdale is to be annexed into Volta as another Barony.

509 Baron Tallon Gerling of Cathym asks permission of the Queen and Duke to take a proposal to the Dinsdale High Chief and council.

509 Baron Tallon Gerling is permanently killed by Dinsdale High Chief. Out of the delegation to Dinsdale, only one escapes with her life.

509 Duke Argent declares war on Dinsdale for their atrocities. He asks Niman and Ashbury for support in the war.

509 Ashbury's forces arrive in time to save Argents troops from total rout.

509 Siege of Hadran stronghold begins (Hadran stronghold is the largest fortification in Dinsdale, and sits on the shores of Crystal Lake).

509 The fighting is at a stalemate, and Argent sends another request to Niman for troop support, and a messenger to Rotaria and to the Queen.

509 Ashbury sends additional troops to hopefully end the fighting by spring. The troops celebrate the new year inside Hadran stronghold.

510 Niman sends support troops into Dinsdale over the River Hadran, in an effort to crush the Dinsdale people between the two forces.

510 Dinsdale armies collapse to the combined armies at the battle of Hawley.

510 The Dinsdale Highlanders resistance collapses, some flee west to the River Hadran, others choose to join Volta.

510 Duke Argent names Uma Kindall Baroness of Dinsdale, and she takes the surname of Dinsdale. She orders her forces to rebuild the Hadran stronghold to become the Baronial capital.

510 Duke Argent, now with the free manpower to act, sets out to build a proper capital on the shores of Lake Ardynn, which he names Unity. He also names Tallon Gerling's oldest son, Ian, as Baron of Cathym. Ian renames the capital of Cathym Tallon's Hold, in memory of his father.

512 The capital Unity is completed. The ceremonies include Argent's wedding to Zymar Nightbird, and Argent establishing the Ducal family of Volta by taking the surname Voltan. Queen Lorelei and all the Dukes and Duchesses are present. Argent also names Cecil Swordhand general of the armies of Volta.

514 Uma Dinsdale is assassinated in her bed at Hadran stronghold. Zymar announces that Uma's assassins will be found and destroyed publicly for their crimes.

514 Argent names his good friend, Gunnid Douglas, as Baron of Dinsdale. At the same time Baron Gerling asks for the Dukes permission to extend the eastern borders of Cathym.

516 Goblin armies attack several border outposts in the lands of new Cathym.

516 Baron Gerling requests that the Duke's armies be brought in to the Silver River area to fight the goblins and protect Voltan interests. The Duke sends Cecil Swordhand and his armies to take control of the situation in Cathym.

517 General Swordhand, using his reserves and new recruits, catches the main goblin army with their backs to the Winterwyrm River. Cecil kills the goblin leader, and the goblins, with most of their army destroyed, flee into the Northern downs.

518 General Swordhand triumphantly returns to Unity. The Duke grants him the lands north of Lake Ardynn and east of the Silver River to the Winterwyrm River, as his Barony. Cecil takes the surname Eastwyck, and thus the Barony is formed.

518 The Queen sends a message congratulating the Duke and his new Baron. She announces her plans to visit the Duchy early the next spring.

518 Zymar gives birth to twins, son and daughter, named Argent II and Tylin.

519 On the eve of the 10th anniversary of the founding of Volta, Argent announces the first annual Voltan tourney. The team of Baron Cecil Eastwyck wins the right to carry the Golden Sword and Silver Shield for the next year, as well as the right to free run at any tavern in Volta for a year for his team of four.

519 Duke Argent sends troops, under the command of Baron Cecil Eastwyck, to Ashbury to assist in their fight against the Northmen.

521 With the fighting almost over, Cecil Eastwyck returns home to Volta after leading the charge in several major battles. He is also married to a lovely young woman, Cheral Nordenn, daughter of Zane Nordenn, Baron of Nordenn.

522 Queen Lorelei dies and her son ascends the throne as King Hendrick II.

523 Zymar gives birth to a second son, Nabon.

525 Duke Argent is almost killed in Anym. Blame is placed on Rotarian provocateurs, sent to avenge the insult the Rotarians received from the Queen in 508.

526 Zymar gives birth to another daughter, Starel.

527 Roads connecting the five Baronial capitals to Unity are finished on Completion Day. The celebration lasts long into the night and through the morning.

528 People in Zarkym along the coast of Lake Ardynn begin to disappear mysteriously.

531 Road to the capital of Ashbury completed, linking Volta to Evendarr.

532 People along Lake Ardynn in Cathym start disappearing. The Duke orders a search into the cause of these disappearances. The group sent to find the cause of the disappearances never returns.

535 Baron Ian Gerling of Cathym expands his lands north of the Mystic Wood, beyond the Silver River. He orders a stronghold built to protect against the goblins, northmen, and elements. It will be called Bearsden.

538 A crazed man comes stumbling into Griswold, Eastwyck, screaming about the monster in the lake. The guards lock him up, and disregard his ranting.

539 Significantly more sedate, the man in Griswold claims to be Talos Gerling. He tells the guards his story about the beast in the lake, and shortly thereafter dies of an unknown disorder. The body and the tale are brought to Tallon's Hold and presented to the Baron.

539 The 20th annual baronial tourney is to take place in Unity. Tension runs high between Ian and Cecil, because of Talos' death. Ian blames Cecil for the death of his only son and heir, while in Eastwyck lands. Argent intervenes to settle the controversy, but Ian leaves the tourney in anger, taking his leading team with him, a team that was out to be the first repeating victors. Eastwyck eventually wins the tourney by two points.

539 Cecil sends his family home across the lake and rides to Tallon's Hold to reconcile the differences with his friend, Ian. While in Cathym word returns that Cecil's wife and two eldest children were lost on the lake. Ian's loss pales by comparison, and he apologizes to Cecil for being a fool. They swear to eradicate the monster form the land together. Cecil sends word to Calvert to construct the largest and strongest craft to find the monster.

539 Gunnid Douglas dies peacefully in his sleep, and his heir Gilda Douglas becomes the new Baroness.
