[Lord Morgoth Dawndeth]

A Basic Hiddenworld Timeline
By Morgoth and Sac


*- The god of good, known only as "The One God" (Or sometimes simply "God") and the god of evil, known as "Shai' Tan" work
together to create a planet, which they name Terra. The two beings populate this planet with many different creatures.

*- The two gods work together to create life, however, they begin to argue, leading to the many differant races that populate
the world today. The first of these races appear in the province we know today as Fodros.

*- The people of the world started spreading northwards, soon discovering the valley that would come to be known as Feldar.

*- Most of the world's population settles down in the valley.

*- A man of great evil appears, so evil that he comes to be called the "Dark Prince". He causes much death among the people of the world, but is eventually defeated, though reports on how this came to be vary.

*- The appearnce of the Dark Prince causes war between the two gods, and this war continues despite the defeat of the Dark Prince. So fierce is this battle that the war spills down onto the world, to Feldar.

*- The remaining people rally to their chosen god, and the small settlements that had been established are destroyed.

*- After many centuries of war, the world had been ravaged, most of the population killed. Many now calling it "The
Hiddenworld", becuase of it's long history of death and destruction. Seeing that they had almost destroyed the world they had created, the gods returned to the heaven to continue their eternal battle.

*- At the site of the final earthly battle between the two gods, a city was founded. This city was called Death Knoll, in
honor of the many people slain.

*- Salocin is born.

*- Diarmuid is born.

*- Angered at his inability to defeat the One God, Shai 'Tan begins to exert his influence on Death Knoll, slowly causing
the citizens to become more chaotic. Despite many resisting this, the city still starts it's fall into chaos.

*- The One God, seeking to make up for what his actions during the war of the gods, grants Salocin and his best friend,
Diarmuid, immortality, as well as the power to create a nation of good, to combat the dark influence of Shai 'Tan.

*- With the increased influence of the gods on the world once again, many of the living beings begin to take sides,
declaring themselves to be Good or Evil. Some, however, choose to side with nether god, and call themselves neutral.

After declaring himself king, Salocin divides the world in provinces, leaving his most trusted generals and soliders behind as lords.

*- Arwen Witch is recruited into the knighthood by Kadayn, who feels there needs to be more than just one female knight. (Year 118 )

*- With growing discontent among the populous over Shyn's governing as a Knight, many meetings are held of Feldar's most powerful warriors and figure heads. Arwen Witch is quickly rebuked by Shyn as attempting to cause an Uprise against him and thus recruits his own help secretly before she is able to mount a successful coup. He then stages what will be the first attempt ever by the people of Feldar and the Knighthood. An Uprising is brought on against Arwen. (Year 119)

*- Shyn attempts to manipulate Daimonicus and bring her into his fold. But Daimonicus, stands firm and makes her place known amongst the ranks that she will not be taken lightly.

Though he himself has not come forward, it is well known by now that he is directing the Uprising. (Year 119)

(Year 119)

*- The uprising against Shyn fails to remove him from the knighthood. Although a majority of the citizens joined the Uprising to oust him, they proved not enough to remove him totally from power. But the massive amounts of protesting and skirmishes seriously diminished Shyn's stature in the Knighthood and making him more open to attack. (Year 119 )

*- Morgoth Dawndeth secretly begins work on removing Shyn by other means. The Uprising failed, but opened the door for other possibilities. Joining up with Daimonicus and other powerful warriors from within Waterford, including Rosanne and former Fallen King teammate Snowloch, they hatch a plan to oust him. (Year 120 )

*- Kadayn comes to the aide of Shyn publically and her backing proves to be significant for him. Although there is now a power struggle in the knighthood as Shyn has lost much of his say since the arrival of Daimonicus. The knights begin to disagree on key issues of governance and this leads to Shyn defying the other knights and attempting to go alone. ( Year 121 )

*- King Wildfire openly confronts Morgoth in Haven. The meeting sparks no violence, but Wildfire makes it known that his spies are following the Evil Mage's every move. This prompts Morgoth to go underground for sometime to rebuild his power. ( Year 121 )

*-Due to the controversy surrounding himself and tarnishing his name, Shyn goes into exile, leaving Hiddenworld never to be seen again. Morgoth, pleased that his desires have been fulfilled takes up residence in the Haven Mage Tower once again. Taking much of the blame for the departure of Shyn, Ryvn departs from Feldar and returns to the wilderness of Elem. (Year 122)

*-After these difficult times King Wildfire lead Hiddenworld through a time of peace and prosperity. Trade between the provinces increased greatly and the threat of outside attack was now minimal. (Year 122)

*-However, peace could not last forever and unrest began to build up. Controversy began to errupt around the Knight, Jackson. Soon riots in the streets under the leadership of Emichra. Jackson was forced from his position. Angered by the power of the peasantry rabble, the elite returned Jackson to power. (Year 123)

*-Riots resumed and forced Jackson from Knighthood once again. Jackson was yet again, appointed to Knighthood. (Year 123)
