71-85 NE: Gemelli Wars. During this time the southern tribes took part in many skirmishes for territories and power. These tribes were lead by rival twin brothers. When one died, the other established the Kingdom of San Severo.
90-95 NE: The First Chantour Oppression. After recovering from the Gemelli Wars, Chantour attacks San Severo in an attempt to conquer it. The lands of the San Severo along the borders to the northwestern half of the Germelli Lakes region conquered, Chantour ended the war here. In truth these lands were claimed so easily by Chantour because the San Severo were busy conquering the lands to the southeast of the Gemelli Lakes.
97-100 NE: The War of Retribution. Having solidified control of all of the lands southeast of the Gemelli Lakes, aside from the two peninsulas, the San Severo rebuilt their forces and sought to reclaim the lands they lost during the The First Chantour Oppression. This effort was largely successful as all of the lands now part of modern Loutraki had been reclaimed in the northwest. Chantour was only able to put up minimal resistance due to local issues.
105-108 NE: The San Severo Expansion. During this time San Severo consolidated their borders with Chantour and what is today southern Loutraki. When San Severo reclaimed their lands from Chantour. San Severo also expanded to claim the two peninsulas along their southern borders, and then expanded to the northeast. By the end of this period, it would mark the first time that San Severo would hold its modern day borders.
111-115 NE: The Second Chantour Oppression. The new king of Chantour, Remy Larouss expanded the borders of Chantour to the southeast, eventually expanding as far into San Severo as to claim all of the lands around the Gemelli Lakes region and beyond to include the lands of what is today mainland Loutraki that had been held by San Severo since the San Severo Expansion.
116 NE: The recently declared Republic of Loutraki establishes diplomatic ties with the Republic of San Severo in secret, creating a non-aggression pact between the two nations. It is unknown when diplomatic relations were first started, though given the Republic of Loutraki's system of government is similar to that of the Republic of San Severo it can be assumed the relations were established prior to the declaration of Loutraki independence.
125-140 NE: The Kingdom of Chantour and the Republic of San Severo traded borders in open war. Loutraki took no part in the war against San Severo maintaining their non-aggression pact.
148 NE: San Severo exchange information with the Loutraki in the spirit of continued positive diplomatic relations, including rumors from local fishermen of lands to the south. The Loutraki would prove these rumors true two years later.
200-300 NE: San Severo and others suffer sudden attacks by pirates. Their merchants and explorers have no peace. Most of the ships are attacked, robbed, and the crews are murdered. This entire period is known as the ‘Piracy age’.
221-267 NE: The Pirates continue to show skilled tactics, they are quick and hard to catch. Of course, some are caught and hanged in the largest cities on the continent. The people are terrified and fear to leave their own homes. Trade suffers huge loses and merchants lose jobs. San Severo like other nations suffer a great loss in their economy.
270-289 NE: The pirate attacks became even more fierce than before. Most of the people were afraid even to leave their own houses once again out of fear of pirate attacks. So, many people can’t afford food. Markets are empty and the larger cities suffer famine. Those who live in villages managed to grow some food, but it was usually taken by the guards and hoarded by nobles. Support would come from Geisenheim surprisingly enough.
308-312 NE: The pirates seem to grow more desperate and increase their attacks and raids on the coasts of San Severo.
314-319 NE: The pirate attacks seem to grow worse by the year, yet when all hope seems lost the Loutraki start to try and reclaim all of The Boisterous Sea from the pirates. This combined with a sudden influx of supplies from Loutraki allows San Severo to recover, many of the people start to volunteer to bring an end to this threat once and for all, tired of the suffering and not caring if they live or die so long as the pirates are defeated for good.
320-323 NE: The eastern coast of San Severo and the entirety of The Southern Waters are pirate freed during this time. The economy of San Severo is able to stabilize thanks to the Loutraki, and continue to support and increase the size of the military forces especially the navy of San Severo. This further strengthens the already strong ties between San Severo and Loutraki.
325-330 NE: San Severo makes a deal with Geisenheim to present a united assault Charkhi Dadri to reclaim the lands of Lichtenau. The five year campaign indeed secured the freedom of the Olometism nation, San Severo was also able to expand their territory into the northwestern corner of Charkhi Dadri along with the northernmost area of The Southern Waters. The harshness of the climate away from the coast however prevents the new lands from being held by San Severo for long, though control over the northwestern coast is maintained by San Severo.
330-340 NE: This ten year period is fought between San Severo and Charkhi Dadri. The former trying to retain control of the lands claimed along the coast during the war to reclaim Lichtenau or expand into new lands along the coast. The latter seeks to reclaim those lands lost. The intense war lasts for ten years, but ultimately Charkhi Dadri is able to reclaim all the lands lost to San Severo. San Severo is forced to withdraw to rebuild their lost military and economy caused by the long and harsh war.
340-350 NE: This becomes an era of relative peace across all known nations, largely as they all start to rebuild their respective powerbases, militaries, economies, or the like.
360-364 NE: The Southern Wars. San Severo and Charkhi Dadri ally and launch a combined assault on Geisenheim, Lichtenau, and Chantour. The war ends in 364 NE with a stalemate causing both sides to agree to an end of all hostilities and a retreat back to the lands each held at that time. Chantour loses some of their southern border, roughly the southerneasternmost quarter of the Duchy of Aisau.
372-375 NE: San Severo suffered heavily during the Southern Wars as well, while their economy was able to rebuild quicker, the losses they suffered required the nation to spend even more time waiting for the next generation to reach the age where they could be trained in the military. Being forced to keep up with Charkhi Dadri to not be perceived as not contributing to the war took a massive toll on the people of San Severo. Losing many of their adult population San Severo kept having to recruit more and more adults and later their youth. By the end of the war only a relative handful of adults were left with any training in combat. They needed time for their youth to come of age so they could be trained and rebuild their army and navy. This time wouldn't come however as Chantour attacked using a very large army seeking to not only reclaim the sliver of territory they lost at the end of the Southern Wars, they also sought to conquer more of San Severo as well. San Severo’s economy had recovered fully by this time but their population had only reached a point where the first of the new generation were just starting to be trained to form a new army. This allowed Chantour to not only reclaim their lost lands but also expand with almost no resistance, laying claim to roughly the northern half of San Severo. The Council of Dieu Soleil were actually the ones that ordered an end to the war for reasons of their own. In addition they defined a ruling to settle matters as well. The western half of the lands Chantour claimed from San Severo, namely those that directly border Geisenheim southeast to the coast would be returned to San Severo without issue and all Chantour forces located there would leave those lands. The remaining lands would remain under Chantour control, and any locals still there would be forced to convert to Traditional Olometism.
375-377 NE: San Severo agree to the terms for the sake of peace and rebuilding their population, and once more their economy as well. The Loutraki secretly offer their aid to keep up the appearance of conversion to Olometism, this aid is accepted though it seems more an attempt by the Loutraki to convert their neighbours to their own faith. In the end the San Severo pick up enough to keep up appearances but continue to fully practice their own faith in secret. By 377 NE the lands of San Severo left under Chantour control appears to have met the conditions set on them by the Council of Dieu Soleil.
378 NE: San Severo’s economy fully recovers once more, though the adult population continues to be rebuilt from the Southern Wars, due to the setback during the last war with Chantour and the loss of much of their former territory.
390 NE: San Severo’s population and military finally recovers fully from the previous wars and the locals shift focus on defense to ensure no more territory is lost, nor gained until they are certain they can hold what they claim in the long-term. This would mark a new trend in how San Severo fights wars in the future, to this very day.
420-435 NE: The San Severo Lawsuits. During this time the king and senate of San Severo initiated an original strategy to reclaim the remaining lands lost to them during the last war with Chantour. Citing the original declaration of their lands as a sovereign nation, and agreeing to allow Olometism to be legally allowed within their lands, the lands in possession of Chantour were slowly returned to San Severo over time. Small tracts of land here, large regions there, the fifteen year period marked the first time lands were ever returned to what could be considered the original owners not through war, diplomacy, or politics but through legal means. It is also during this time trade opens up between Geisenheim and San Severo, and formal trade agreements are established between San Severo and Loutraki, even though trade between those two nations have been taking place for centuries.
435-440 NE: The Severo-Dadri War. A war between Charkhi Dadri and San Severo starts, though it remains unclear to this day which side started it. The war started due to tensions between the two nations which had been building since the end of the Southern Wars roughly seventy-one years prior. With aid from the Loutraki the end of the war would find the northern quarter of the coast of Charkhi Dadri was claimed by San Severo and the eastern peninsula in the south of San severo was in the hands of Charkhi Dadri. The war ended in a mutual peace agreement as both sides suffered heavy losses and both economies were suffering by that time.
445 NE: The lands claimed by Charkhi Dadri in the Severo-Dadri War are returned peacefully to San Severo when it starts to be too much of a strain of Charkhi Dadri's resources.
462-465 NE: The Severo-Sakan Skirmishes. Naval forces from a new power, Tell es-Sakan launch attacks along the southern coasts of San Severo. San Severo comes out the victor after adapting to the new tactics and ship designs.
469-475 NE: The New Southern War. In a series of blitz attacks along the southwestern peninsula of San Severo, soldiers from Tell es-Sakan attack and gain a few footholds in San Severo. The two nations spend the next six years in battle after battle, during which the entire southwestern peninsula of San Severo is claimed by Tell es-Sakan. Shortly after claiming the entire peninsula the war sees a sudden turn in the tide, as San Severo starts to push Tell es-Sakan forces further and further south till only a handful of holdouts remain. A series of sieges finally brings an end to the Tell es-Sakan invasion.
478-484 NE: The Second Severo-Sakan War. After recovering from the New Southern War, San Severo forces launch attacks to the south. Landing troops by ship, San Severo begins an expansion into the large peninsula in the north of Tell es-Sakan. Initially the fighting is hard for both sides, but eventually the superior technology, along with reinforcements from San Severo, give the advantage to northern nation who soon expands into the entire peninsula.
486-488 NE: The Tell es-Sakan War. After a brief recovery to secure the new borders claimed by San Severo, their new troops from the mainland move through the lands in an attempt to push their advantage and claim the rest of Tell es-Sakan’s territory. While initially promising, the locals are able to counter every attempt by San Severo to expand. After two years of zero gains San Severo ends their attempts to expand and returns their focus on securing what they have claimed.
490-498 NE: The Sakan Reclamation. Tell es-Sakan forces launch a series of night attacks, claiming all targets. This would mark the start of a new push, where the Tell es-Sakan moves further and further into the northern peninsula. The speed, ferocity, home-ground advantage and determination overwhelms the San Severo forces. While it takes Tell es-Sakan longer to reclaim what they lost, they are eventually able to fully force San Severo forces out of their lands.
