SEPHRONIAN TIMELINE

Spartoi and Angels lived in the same country, where the Spartoi were often treated as second class citizens by the Angel upper classes. A Spartoi leader, Kalani Ao, established himself as a leader of a radical faction with an intent to overthrow the Angel Monarch, Chika Yama.
Violent skirmishes rocked the region, with Spartoi discipline and tenacity clashing with Angel strategy and use of steel weapons.
The conflict threatened to wipe out both races, until the intervention of the God, Neptune. She split the nation in two, banishing the Spartoi to the ocean on the other side of the world. Vulcan gifted the Angels their wings, to allow them to procreate with the Spartoi.

FIRST CALENDARS CREATED
BEGINNING OF THE 1ST AGE

Five warriors, claiming to be students of Jupiter himself, began teaching the art of Raiden manipulation to select students.
In tern they began selling their skills to people in need, becoming the first mercenaries; warriors with abilities that make a single person equal to a small army in terms of combat strength.
The five became the first Shaman, keeping the new mercenary industry in check.

Attempting to re-establish the old Tyrano Empire, the Emperor Oceano launched an invasion of the isolationist nation of Atlantis.
Lacking mainland support or weaponry to wage war with a more advanced nation, the Atlantian resistance was quickly crushed and the Nation was Annexed into the new Empire.

Lobo controlled the route connecting the West with Ikati, which the new Alpha, Dulio Rayo becoming protective of the increasing oceanic trade industry.
Ikati grew frustrated and declared war to regain control of the seas. However they found the jungles of Lobo difficult to fight in, and met stiff resistance from the superior Lobo Navy.
Rayo saw the opportunity to take the West coast of Ikati for themselves, but quickly found that the Ikati army was more adapt at flatland combat with a more impressive army.
With neither side able to gain the advantage in their opponents home terrain, the war raged on for decades. The conflict affected Lobo’s economy much harsher than it did Ikati, bringing about a coup by Rayo’s son, Felix, who didn’t do much better than his father, until a second coup deposed him in favour of Alpha Itzal Paz, who worked to end the conflict.
The agreement was extremely favourable for Ikati, to the extent that yet another coup deposed the weak leader Paz, in favour of the Resplandecer pack, though they were in no rush to pursue further war, resulting in an uneasy peace.

Tyrano waged a war with the Dragon Nations of Phenix and Pendragon. King George of Pendragon pushed for an alliance with the Queen of Shenlong, to aid their Western cousins. Eventually all three Nations united against the Tyrano Empire, pushing them back and eventually capturing the Capital and defeating the Emperor.
The three dragon Nations formed the country of Dragolong, with Pendragon’s King becoming the first Dragolong Emperor, much to the displeasure of the Phenix people.

The Nation of Affe remained un-unified throughout the zero age, with no attempts to bring about a Monarchy for the first half of the first age. Dieter Die-Wand, later Dieter the conquerer began a campaign to bring the nation under his rule. Wielding the magic sword, Gebirgsspalter, Dieter slowly took over more and more land until he owned nearly the enter country.
A union between Vector, Radius and Calculus, along with Mercenary support, succeeded in defeating Dieter in the battle of the lightning plains and ending his reign. Without an heir, his Generals took over different territories as the new chiefs and over time an uneasy peace was established. The weapon, Gebirgsspalter, was lost to time.

Lobo lost a lot of standing abroad, to the point where Vampirica thought themselves able to take over the region and control the valuable trading route in the volatile region. The new invention of flight, or Wind Surfing, brought about new arial combat which the Lobo Nation took to by adapting their renown Naval strategy to the new verticality of Wind Surfer combat.
Lobo succeeded in pushing the invaders back, re-establishing Lobo as a prominent Nation and military power.

The Dragolong Union crumbled after the Phenix people revolted against Pendragon. The conflict erupted into all out war, with Shenlong choosing to stay out of the conflict. The war raged until Pendragon finally relented and granted Phenix its independence in 491A1, and the Nation of Dragolong was dissolved.

Nemesis, God of Retribution, rose the dead and started an apocalypse that lasted for over a century.
The Promethean Gods led Demankind agains the threat, however most of the worlds population was eradicated before the war ended. The final conflict resulted in Nemesis’ destruction, and peace was brought to the world.

the omega project

Following the Blood War, there was a conscious effort to keep Sephron unified. The key was a new series of cities which would become the new capitals of the respective countries. Sparta was the only hold out, not wishing to be subject to the control of the other races, leaving them without a capital.
These new metropolis cities were connected by the new Rail surfer technology, passing through Zeta, a central hub made up of multiple different races.
The project fell apart when no nation could agree on who would rule over Zeta, and the city was left abandoned. The rail system existed, connecting the Capitals, but the ultimate goal of lasting peace was still a long ways off.

Vampirica struggled after the Blood War, falling into a recession.
This drove a wedge between the upper and lower classes that escalated into a revolution.
The result was the execution of the Royal Family, and after years of fighting, the establishment of the first Sephronian Democratic Republic.

Spartoi decided to establish their own capital for the first time in their history, calling it Sparta to represent the unification of the Spartan people.

In the decades following the Blood War, the League of Shaman grew in influence to replace the devastated militaries of the world; the demand for hired warriors grew to the point where the Daimyo cast was established.
The most powerful and revered Mercenaries became the heads of several clans to help maintain organisation.
However the Daimyo begin consolidating power and drawing multiple clans under their sphere of influence. They began competing with other Daimyo for contracts, mercenaries and land. Despite the attempts of the League of Shaman, the conflict escalated into all out war.
The conflict raged for nearly a decade, until the Shaman finally intervened. They dissolved the Daimyo cast to prevent any such conflict from happening again.
As a result the Mercenary profession found itself ostracised from the other governments; clans found difficulty gaining work and pushing clients towards the newly found PMN. The Shaman in particular lost face and became viewed as ineffectual.

Border tensions between Pendragon and Spartoi pirates reached new heights, leading to an invasion of Sparta. This ended up uniting country for the first time, which only fuelled the Emperor’s madness and devotion to exterminating the Spartan race.
The razing of Sparta brought about the end of the war, when exiled Prince Arthur slew his father to attain the crown and ended the war.
However the city was left in ruins, and the Spartoi are considered an endangered race, scattered with no country to call their own.

Emperor Peter took control of the Pendragon throne, proclaiming his intention to bring the continent under his influence in the name of security and peace.
Barons and Nobel houses loyal to the old order resisted the regime change, leading to several months of internal fighting and attempted assassinations agains the new Emperor.
Peter’s charisma and ideology convinced both Atlantis and Shenlong to join with the Empire without resistance, building on long history between their nations.

Peter began his conquest with the Nation of Tyrano, who fell quickly. Lacking a unified military in the face of the new Dragolong army and with the Mercenary industry nearly non-existent, Tyrano stood no chance and was conquered within under a year of fighting.

Roy Irving establishes his own Nation, functioning essentially as a mercenary clan.
They grew by giving advanced weaponry to un-powered mercs, fuelled by an obsessive focus towards new forms of mechanised warfare. They took over the abandoned city of Zeta and built it into a giant, Urban country, and placed them to extend their forces to every other country in Sephron.
The Nation formed an agreement with the League of Shaman, applying with their rules and infrastructure, which Irving was keen to maintain.
Due to the Mercenary wars, the League of Shaman fell from favour with the different Nations, leaving room for the PMN to pick up the slack and establish a military presence in nearly every country not involved with the Empire.

Phenix was a tough hold out against the Empire; the people held strong resentment towards Pendragon stretching back to the First Age, fuelling their bloody resistance.
Eventually the Nation fell when King Vernai was forced to surrender and his military dissolved.

Ikati was the next to fall to the Empire. The conflict was ended after the capital was taken and the King surrendered.
Technically still ongoing; the Ikati resistance loyal to the Royal family, under the command of Prince Babajibe Arcotis, are still waging a war with the Empire. However the Nation is now recognised as a member of the Empire; with it’s government referring to the Emperor and the military dissolved, replaced with the Imperial militia.

A resistance within Esquilo attempted to join the conflict on the side of Ikati.
The Empire invaded to bring the nation to heel, bringing a one sided conflict to the region.
Current efforts have gone towards repairing the damage to infrastructure

Tensions within Tyrano reached a fever pitched; riots in Kangna turned violent, which spread to other settlements.
The PMN intervened, turning the country into a warzone, siding with the native resistance.
This was the first time that the PMN established themselves as a prominent military power, and led to an increased presence with countries outside of the Empire.
Events are still ongoing…

The nation of Lobo attempted to remain neutral in the growing Sephronian conflict.
A coup to replace the current Alpha sparked a nationwide conflict.
The PMN intervened, claiming that they posed a threat to their clients in Vampirica and Affe, due to the nations key position as an oceanic trading route, and invaded under the pretence of Liberating the nation and bringing peace to the region, escalating the conflict.
