History of Targin

Timeline

Explore the events, discoveries, conflicts, and stories that shaped Targin.

Ancient Era

8000 B.V. Era

Age of the Valleys

Vaer speaks the world of Targin into existence and creates humans in a beautiful valley in the land of Illun. Eala from a neighboring valley disobey Vaer and fall. These Eala become the Eara and persuade the humans into leaving their valley on a road Vaer commanded them not to go on. The humans are separated from Vaer and the sea rises, threatening their lives. Vaer mercifully provides a great bridge across the sea for the humans, leading them to the main continent of Targin.

7999 B.V. Era

Age of the Lost Peoples

Humans spread out over Targin and form three peoples: the Halsun, the Emprimites, and the Haelde. The world falls into a cycle of violence so brutal that Vaer destroys Targin with the Ice River. Only one Haeldan family listens to Vaer and stays camped on Summer Rock. The rock does not freeze and the family survives.

6900 B.V. Era

Age of the Haelde

After the Ice River recedes to a single stream down the center of Targin, the Haelde spread out and form a League. Vaer gives them flowers to tend to and the Code Arguna—teaching them how to live and telling them of a coming saviour for all Targin. The Haelde League remains peaceful for two centuries, then they allow the flowers to die and reject Vaer’s ways. The Eara rise to power once again and the Haelde fight amongst themselves.

3400 B.V. Era

Age of the New Peoples

The Haeldans flee to all corners of Targin. Some travel far to the west and are never seen again. The Dogor emerge from the mountains near the Ice River. A great war is fought between the Haelde and the Dogor. The Dogor are defeated and many of them flee southward forming Gholax and the scattered tribes of Daugin.

1200 B.V. Era

Age of Gholax

The Gholaxians form a great empire and rule the world. Vaer himself comes and dies for all Targin, fulfilling what was spoken of in the Age of the Haelde. The world is never the same afterwards. The Dogors regain power and divert the Ice River upon the Gholaxians. The Gholaxians soon disappear without a trace. The Tellibites begin rising in the northeast.
