History of the Moonshae Isles

Early History

 * : The super continent Merrouroboros was fractured by the First Sundering. The Moonshaes were after a continental plate shifted to the west. During this time, the Moonshaes were little more than a collection of hundreds of islands formed by volcanic peaks.


 * : Fey begun settling the Moonshaes.


 * : Leviathan arrives in the Moonshaes.


 * : The Moonshaes begun forming into their current shape. The Korinn Archipelago was formed. The LeShay founded the kingdom of Sarifal, constructing the city of Karador on an island in the center of the lake within Myrloch Vale.


 * : Kamerynn arrives in the Moonshaes.


 * : Llewyrr refugees begun arriving to the islands. They are welcomed by the LeShay. The refugees settled in the mountains and form the kingdom of Synnoria.


 * : The Pack arrives in the Moonshaes.


 * : Dwarven refugees founded Dwarvenhome in the caverns beneath the islands.


 * : Dwarven settlers founded Highhome in the Cambro Mountains.


 * : Grond Peaksmasher arrives in the Moonshaes, accompanied by a tribe of giants. They settled on Norland in the Jotunhammer Mountains.


 * : Conflict erupted between the dwarves and firbolgs of the Isles. Underneath Ice Peak on Orman's Isle, Grond Peaksmasher was imprisoned. Without his guidance, the firbolgs of the Moonshaes become uncivilized.


 * : Due to the frequent presence of artificers from Imaskar in the Royal Court of Sarifel, it was thought that an alliance was established between the two kingdoms.


 * : Kazgaroth begun to wreak havoc on the Moonshaes. It was unleashed by Malar. The children of the Earthmother united with the Llewyrr and dwarves to battle the Beast. Fomorians were brought to the Moonshaes from the Feywild by Kazgaroth as allies. The conflict drags on for decades until the minions of Kazgaroth were driven to isolated corners of the Moonshaes. The fomorians conquer the firbolgs, forcing them into slavery.


 * : Most of the Fey, including the fomorians, abandoned their domains in the Moonshaes and retreated back into the Feywild. The kingdom of Sarifal is abandoned and the city of Karador sinks into the Myrloch.

Modern History

 * : Refugees fleeing from the persecution of the Shadowking crossed the Sea of Swords and settled in the Moonshaes on the island of Gwynneth, beginning the race of the Ffolk.


 * : The humans on the island of Gwynneth first come into conflict with the Llewyrr.


 * : The human settlements of Gwynneth united to form into the kingdom of Corwell.


 * : A peace treaty between the elven kingdom of Synnoria and the human kingdom of Corwell was signed.


 * : After a prolonged civil war, Callidyrr Hugh reunited the fractured kingdom of Corwell.


 * : Bhaal takes control of Kazgaroth, sending it to destroy the Ffolk. Chieftain Cymrych Hugh defeated Kazgaroth and was crowned High King. Moonshae Reckoning (MR) marks this year as year one on the Moonshavian calendar.


 * : High King Cymrych Hugh died and was entombed within a barrow mound near Blackstone. He left no heir with a strong claim to the throne, as a result the kingdoms of the Moonshaes splintered.


 * : Illuskan sailors from Tuern and Gundarlun arrive in the Moonshaes, finding the kingdoms at each others throats. This begins centuries of raids against the Ffolk by the Northmen.
 * : High King Gwylloch constructed the Castle of Skulls from the skulls of his enemies. The High Kings moved the court to a mighty palace hidden within Llyrath Forest. He also began a series of raids against the Northlanders. Northmen captured in these raids were brought to the Circus Bizarre, a gladiatorial arena, where they were killed.
