Novi Timeline and Alterations

Almareni – Aryan (Tyrai – Italic; Nordeskai – Germanic; Westerendi – Celtic; Vendikai – Slavic)

Almoran-Frigani – Finno-Ugric

Hulean – Turkic

Etengari/Khar Zin – Mongol

Jennite – Tungus

Khar – Chinese

Mintaki – Japanese

Mornikai – Korean

Sakari – Afro-Asiatic

Kehji-Kharlakan – Sino-Tibetan

Elves

-Grey elf ‘homelands’ are agreed in the north in Wendar. Cape and isle elves.

-Wood elf ‘homelands’ are agreed in the old kingdoms. Woodland elves.

Alts

-Sakar is not attached to Almir but is a small continent of its own (1.5 mil sq. mi.)

-Almaren + Almora + Zoria = 9.4 million sq. mi.

-Western Empire is three main isles (two in far west, one in the nw and one in the cw; one to the south of Almaren), 2 Almareni colonies, and several Zulian colonies.

-Turk-style kingdom of Harasmia exists thanks to the migrations of these folk from the east. Same is true for the Hulean Sultanate near Thyatis. Migrations of these folk did not wipe out the native Almoran steppe culture.

-Almaren’s Novani population is mostly Aryan. In the south and east there are exceptions.

-Kings of Aryan nations are racially identical to Dunedain thanks to their relatively recent infusions of Savi, Exali, and even Demigod blood, often times Dukes as well. Other nobility are equivalent to Lesser Dunedain.

-Tyrans had ores including steel. Today among the Novani only the Aryans and Mintakans know how to manufacture steel, laen, ithilnaur, adamantine, and eog (the last four are usually strictly kept among royal smithworks).

Timeline

-SA 1 calendar is begun when Tyrius and Torion, two Aryan aristocrats, organize the people of the Cainia river basin into the Commonwealth of Tyr. The city of Tyr is born this year.

-SA 500, first imperial Tyran campaigns to other lands.

-SA 1214, final destruction of Lethaan, the chief rival empire to Tyr, is achieved.

-SA 1452 sees the crowning of Severinus as Emperor of Tyr, the first official Emperor.

-SA 2458 strange reactionary Eldani conspiracy based on ideology of elves regaining world power topples the now corrupt and decadent and downbred Tyran Empire and founds the Pentarchy.

-SA 3510 sees the beginning of the War of the Magi, initiated by various Aryan tribes allied with elves, dwarves, and even some orcish tribes. The war lasts 14 grueling years and results in the utter destruction of the Pentarchy at the hands of the Free Alliance.

-TA 1 is founded when Free Alliance negotiates the Grand Western Treaty. This is in the wake of the Grand War of the Magi which signaled the final defeat of the Pentarchy tyranny which had ruled the West from SA 2400 to 3550. The kingdoms of Lancia and others are founded (these are precursors to the modern kingdoms but often with different names).

-TA 648 sees the coronation of Tescelin (b. 532), the Emperor of the West. He conquers most of western Almaren with the exception of the Allonian valley, the Sakari-held lands in the southwest and the southern part of the Tyran peninsula. He stops his expansion at the borderlands of the majority Vendik lands. He dies in TA 676, signifying a time of troubles ahead.

-TA 824 sees the division of the Empire of Tescelin.

-TA 1022 sees the election of Berenger I of Carnot, the first of the Carnot dynasty of Limellia.

-TA 1446: Present day. Kings: Ademar of Allon, Lothair of Limellia, Romelion of Veredune, Eligion of Orelin, Arnulfes of Adhelon, Conrades of Ilion, Erdinandes of Casparan, Sigeric of Graeschild, Lammert of Jannerau
