Era of Isolation

Age of Disagreement (2468 – 2699)
“When will we invade the elves?” This was the first issue brought to King Shame the 12th’s court. The Chromatic Dragonkin were becoming increasingly insistent that the other side of the bargain be honored. However, the Metallic Dragonkin did not agree. Many others approached court though. Those in and around the university demanded independence from the Kingdom. The Dwarves also demanded independence to seek their wealth in within the mines of Lithill. The orcs demanded that their contributions to the college recognized with more honor. The Gold elves wished to be the spokespeople for all of society with other areas of society. Only the Obsidian Elves, and the Silver Elves seemed content with the way of the world.

Age of Separation (2700 – 3876)
The Dragonkin were the first to fracture. The Obsidian elves aided the metallic dragonkin in recognizing their independence from the Despotate. The Auruthian Republic formed as a vassal state of the Oligarchy of Ormel. They seeded the funds and the power to declare independence by the Metallic Dragonkin which created a governmental body run by the people within their lands, which included Dragonkin of all kinds and eventually would expand to be all beast races.

Seeing a fracture occur in the Dragonkin and the fact that the King Shame of the time accepted this fracture as fact allowed others to stand up and declare independence. The first was the University. The leadership of the University declared its independence as an entity which would seek, keep, and share all knowledge known to all societies. This allowed some local leaders to gather under the roof of the University. They created with a swipe of the pen a governmental body that is a collection of local leaders into a new governmental body named the Mithilian Federation.

The Dwarves united under the banner of the Uzan Protectorate and inward-looking nation to better their own people within the betterment of their society and to supply high quality materials and gems to the world. Lastly, groups of merchants untied to form the Confederation of Moria, their beliefs are were that all peoples should be able to trade freely amongst the world stage. For a reasonable price, of course.

Age of Discussion (3878 – 4209)
As these new nations formed the ways of the world changed. The kingdom no longer holds as much sway as they used to. The federation began to claim ownership over the still independent library because it controlled the walls of Blakhol.

At this point each nation had its own currency. However, though consistent valuation and discussion they were able to find consistent conversion rates between them. Discussion between each group lead to new treaties and it ushered in a time of peace. While it was a tenacious state of peace. All the nation’s peoples lived, for the moment, in harmony.
