PRTS ANALYSIS OS POWERED BY RHODES ISLAND | |
Kal'tsit | "Government" as behavioral pattern is well established, and its associated relations tacitly accepted, but there remains room to questions its specific form. What governs, and by what means? These questions have persisted through the ages. |
---|---|
B.C.E. The First Catastrophe The first Catastrophe in the history of Terra | |
Kal'tsit | The First Catastrophe shattered what civilization has arisen. |
B.C.E. Aslanian Conquests The Aslans conquer the southwestern tribes | |
Kal'tsit | In its aftermath, the word "world" was first used by the ruler of Sargon as a banner under which to unite civilization, a declaration of world empire that governed all. |
B.C.E. The Birth of Sovereign Power Terra's first sovereign power is established in Sargon | |
Kal'tsit | Generations of monarchs failed to see that vision through, but their concept of sovereignty did manage to permeate the continent. |
B.C.E. The valley's nomadic tribe breaks apart | |
B.C.E. The Kingdom of Victoria The royalists establish the Kingdom of Victoria | |
B.C.E. Tailte na Teamhair[note 1] The conservatives head south to what is now Tara | |
Kal'tsit | In a valley ravaged by conflict over the crown, the Draco caught a glimpse of prosperity in the shadow of the Padishah's palace. |
0011 Nightzmoran Conquests Kharanduu Khagan begins the Nightzmoran Conquests and conquers the steppes | |
Kal'tsit | Bringing celestial law to the land and subjugating the south, the Khagan trampled an order once believed absolute. |
0012 The Royal Family of the Pegasi The Pegasi Royal Family and their army confront the Nightzmora on the Kazimierzian plain The victory that forms the Kazimierzian founding myth comes to an end To maintain its ruling position, the Pegasi Royal Family surrenders to the Nightzmora | |
Kal'tsit | The shadow of the Nightzmora left a mark on the golden Pegasi in those battles. They say the royal family, blessed with their strength and virtue, withered the moment they capitulated. |
0013 The United Knightly Territories Failing to sue for peace, the royal family is deposed, with the knights orders forming the United Knighly Territories. | |
Kal'tsit | The few unbent knights stole the crown, yet sure enough chose to bolster their legitimacy with their own tales of strength and virtue. |
0027 The Hippogryphic Kingdom Igor, the "Bear Raiser" of the Hippogryphic Kingdom, rebels against the Hippogryph | |
0031 Ursus Empire The Ursine rebel army captures Deity Grypherburg, with Igor ascending the throne | |
Kal'tsit | The Hippogryph sat in the mountains, burdening their people with war, though I doubt they imagined their blood would nurse Ursus. |
0058 Igor's child, Aleksey Igorevich "the Young" declares hunting Hippogryph a national policy | |
Kal'tsit | But the war to subdue the Hippogryph never ended, its blade merely pointed elsewhere. To Ursus, war had become a tool of statecraft. |
0737 Francisco de León Geographical Exploration An Iberian-sponsored geographical expedition arrives in the rich Bolívarian plains | |
Kal'tsit | As Iberian sails broadened horizons, so too did national ambitions expand to new shores. |
0885 Iberia's colonial rule comes to an end The ensuing power vacuum hurls Bolívar into civil war | |
0897 Singas Dynasty The Singas Dynasty under Leithanien's influence takes the reins in Bolívar | |
1048 Coalition Government The Columbian-backed Bolívarian Coalition Government is established | |
1050 True Bolívarians The militant group known as the True Bolívarians Liberation Movement is formed | |
Kal'tsit | Once a golden treasury the envy of kings, Bolívar now hoards only the fires of war. With each change of government, the word loses yet more meaning, offering reforms in name only. |
1018 Battle of Babbage The Grand Duke of the frontier territories suffers a catastrophic defeat in the Battle of Babbage The Grand Duke's army reatreats sout | |
Kal'tsit | The developing nation of Columbia rejected hereditary rule, seeking to base it instead on a mandate of the masses. |
1019 Columbian Independence Columbia formally declares independence The Articles of Confederation are established, and the first election is held | |
1095 Mk-MAX President of the Columbian Union | |
Kal'tsit | Yet as to whether their Union truly began a new era of government, only the entity known as Mark Max knows the answer. |
1030s Rim Billiton All eyes turn to Rim Billiton and its Originium Rush | |
Kal'tsit | The Rim Billitonians built their society around family bonds, with no notion of authority. |
1050s Autonomous Prefectures A number of autonomous prefectures are formed in Rim Billiton, and its loosely-organized alliance slowly takes shape | |
Kal'tsit | Yet under foreign pressure, they had no choice but to restructure their family into a "regime." |
1070s Rim Billiton The "Rim Billiton Mining Alliance" declares itself as an independent political entity | |
Kal'tsit | Only time will tell if a "government" spontaneously formed from the people will last. |
1030 War of the Four Nations Victoria and Ursus enter the war The Gaulish-Victorian war[note 2] is expanded into the War of the Four Nations | |
1031 The Fall of Gaul Corsica I perishes during the Battle of the Four Emperors Lingones falls, leading to the collapse of Gaul | |
Kal'tsit | After 30 years of rapid growth nourished by the corpse of Gaul, the bellies of the victors grew fat, and their weakness from overindulgence apparent. |
1073 Emperor Vladimir Igorevich[sic] perishes, bringing Ursus's rapid territorial expansion to an abrupt stop | |
Kal'tsit | The war-tempered imperial prince brought Ursus unprecedented prosperity, yet that growth was itself a threat to vested noble interests. |
1074 The Great Rebellion A number of armies, starting with the Sixth, take up arms against Deity Grypherburg, leading to the "Great Rebellion" | |
1075 The Siege of Deity Grypherburg The Second and Seventh Army withdraw from the western front to Deity Grypherburg's aid The flames of war spread throughout Ursus | |
Kal'tsit | Far from silencing enemies both internal and external, the defeat of the Bloodpeak Campaign only set the stage for the Great Rebellion. |
1040s Herkunftshorn Herkunftshorn the Witch King gradually falls into madness Actual authority is partially restored to the Kurfürsten | |
Kal'tsit | In the nation of spires, lengthy obscurity was followed by revolution, as the Witch King's efforts to shed the shackles of authority only aggrieved the worshipers of that authority. |
1070s Hildegard and Lieselotte The Twins enter Leithanien's political arena and openly oppose the Witch King's rule | |
1077 The Septemberaufstand unfolds The Kurfürsten's coalition army attacks the capital, and the Twins defeat the Witch King | |
1100 Stimmverlust The Twenty Third Empresses' Celebration One of the Twin Empresses "loses her voice" | |
Kal'tsit | Yet those reveling in the death of a tyrant never imagined Leithanien would find herself once again sunk in the swamp of the past. The civilizations lucky enough to survive to the present day by no means represent a perfect order. But by the time the search is abandoned, few may yet remain. |
