Setting:Unified Setting/History
Rough notes. Timeline of major events needs to be worked out.
The Beginning Of Time

Thousands of years ago

- Draconians create necromancy as a weapon for dealing with Gentry.
- Gentry becomes bored and the war ends. Draconians proclaim themselves victorious.
- The Scaled Court descends into madness.
- Bahamut wars with other Draconian sorcerers.
- Draconian Bahamut creates Reis, the first of the Faestir.
- Vaess uth Bahamut created as elite troops.

- Reis and the surviving Faestir leave the Vaess behind and travel into the desert to the northwest.
- Elven civilization rises.

Other things that happened- Need to be placed in a time category
- We need some arbitrary year zero for fluff purposes. Referencing events as 40 or 400 years ago doesn't have the same zing as 1297 or 832. Ideally it should be an event big enough that all races would acknowledge it.
- Perhaps the sinking of the Goblin continent, flooding of all the coastlines, birth of Bongo Bongo, and crash of all the elf cities is sufficiently "big"?
