The creation. Aetheria was a harsh land to live in before this time. Humans prayed to the God of War Galyith to help them rid the land of the foul creatures within in. During this Time Three Men, attempted to amass armies in order to defend themselves against all the vile life on Aetheria. When all hope seemed lost, Galyith the God of War and Peace, came down from the heavens and smited all the foul creatures of the land. The people celebrated. However still was much to be done for the land was infertile, and humanity would not last long in this type of environment. They prayed for salvation.
Eventually their prayers were in fact answered. Ki, The Goddess of Nature descended from the Heavens as well. With her powers she made much of the land fruitful. However she did leave reminders of the lands previous condition so that all would remember that she was the one that made the land of Aetheria liveable. Galyith as well decided that killing all the creatures on Aetheria was not a wise idea for it would make the people weak.
All the gods: Galyith, Ki, Raith, The God of Time and Fate, Valrityth, the goddess of death and the afterlife, and Utu, the god of light and dark decided that the humans should rule themselves now and the gods would stay out of their affairs until the day of reckoning or Ragnorok. On the day of reckoning, The Gods would return in monstrous forms and kill all humans on Aetheria. This was intended to keep the humans on the right path.
The Gods also decide to bestow a gift to humanity. They combined their powers and strengthen the sprits of every humanoid on Aetheria making is possible for them to come back to life if their life is cut short. This did not protect the old from dying of natural causes however.
After this council the gods returned to their home planes, they keep a watchful eye on Aetheria but they do not interfer with her actions. However before leaving they decide that Three men should establish governments and protect the people of the land, They Are Regenald Enon, Tirua Tanos, and Markus Silliarus.
These men have the support of all the gods, and the people follow them, and through them build cities and establish a relative peace, however this peace was very frail and did not last for to long.
The houses, named after each of House Masters: Enon, Tanos, and Silliarus, begin to grow uneasy with one another. During this time they begin to build armies and start expanding their territories. Some of these lands are claimed peacefully. However there were many conflicts between the armies of Aetheria. Sometimes there is a dispute between 2 houses over land, sometimes 3. A bloody conflict would ensue that would outlive the lives of the original housemasters. This war lasts for 1 century. During that time the Old House Masters, the Original House Masters die, and their heirs take over control of all the houses. The war is called off since little is being accomplished through bloodshed. Each state decides to sign a treaty. This treaty prohibits the expansion of any state for a period of 100 years. This is to prevent more warfare and allow each state to build and prosper. The treaty also establishes a Senate, which is refered to as the Aetherian Senate. It is decided that Each state: Silliarus, Enon, and Tanos would be granted 10 representatives. The House Masters would preside over this senate and establish the laws of the land and also it would protect the free peoples of Aetheria. The Senate met and some of the more notable accomplishments of it were:
-The Senate established an army, known as the Aetherian House Order. This army's soul purpose is to protect the rights of the Aetherian citizens.
-The Senate also proclaimed that no state shall seize any un claimed lands for a period of 100 years. After that mark the Aetherian Senate would meet again and decide what to do.
Julian Gustav, the well-respected House Master of Enon decides it is time for a change. He feels that the senate is holding him back, and that he can do more for his people by ignoring it rather that having to put every single law through a committee. In the Year 115 he pulls his senators from the Aetherian Senate. He takes his private army and informs the Garrison for the Aetherian House Order that they must vacate his state within a period of one week or it will be considered and act of war. The Aetherian House Order pulls out all its soldiers within the allotted week and war is prevented. Gustav declared that Enon is no longer a state, but rather a kingdom. He crowns himself King. The people rejoice. He promises peace and prosperity for his people.
Troubles arise between House Silliarus and House Tanos. Meetings for the senate start going nowhere. Votes continually come out as a draw and no one can decide what to do with it. Tanos blames Silliarus, Silliarus blames Tanos. The two house masters declare war on one another. King Gustav declares that he does not plan to get involved with either side of this conflict, and he adds that this is why he pulled out of the Senate before because it was just a roadblock for the growth of Aetheria. Tanos and Silliarus meet on the battlefield several times. It is a long bloody war. And as proven with the first Great House War, little is accomplished. Both sides eventually declare peace. The Senate begins meeting again and things seem to move along smoothly once again.
In the year 142 King Gustav of Enon dies. His heir and only son Julian Gustav II is crowned king of Enon. He looks upon his kingdom. Poverty and Disease plague his home. In desperation he petitions the Aetherian Senate for help, and asks that he be allowed to have representation in the Aetherian Senate, since The Kingdom of Enon does lie on the continent of Aetheria. The Senate meets and Votes unanimously to deny aid to Enon, and also to deny representation to Enon in the Senate. This infuriates the king and he warns that senate that this will not go unpunished.
Gustav assembles his men. Most are trained Knights, some are simple farmers. He launches two separate campaigns: One on the State of Sillairus and one on Tanos. This successfully divides the Aetherian House Order troops and allows for Gustav to continually wage war on both houses. This war lasts for almost seven decades. Gustav never sees the end of this war. He dies while sitting on the Throne. His strongest son Terrance Xeros claims the thrown of Enon without a struggle. Tanos and Sillairus war torn, and their countries in ruin beg for Xeros to retract his attack. He does, only when they agree to allow him to have his ten senators replaced to the Aetherian Senate. They agree with the provision that they get to have a Garrison of the Aetherian House Order within Enon’s borders and that Enon will help them rebuild their cities. Xeros, holding all the cards, decides that it would be best for Aetheria to accept this treaty and therefore he does. The Aetherian War comes to an end, Enon the victor.
Jeremy Geriux, a disillusioned young man, broken hearted after House Tano’s defeat, and angered at Trivelle Yuri for his inability to lead Tano’s to victory seizes the opportunity to throw a coup d’etat. He gathers up simple farmers and deserters of the Aetherian House Order, and masses them into a cohesive fighting unit. Using Gurellia warfare he begins his assault of the armies of Yuri. Yuri’s forces though weak are able to hold their own. They even get support troops from Enon and Silliarus, but in the end they are unprepared to fight a guerrilla war. Geriux and his army lay siege to Castle Tanos for a period of one month. After that time Geriux finally is able to breach the main wall and storms into the castle. However when he arrives he finds an empty chamber where Yuri once sat. Soldiers of Geriux search the castle but only find remnants of his army. They round up his men and give them the choice: Either allegiance to Geriux or Death. They choose allegiance. Trivelle flees into the Quenrelle Forest. He is not heard from for many years. Many think he is dead. Geriux appoints himself House Master to Tanos, and so after that crowns himself king of the Kingdom of Tanos.
The Former House Master of Tanos flees using a secret passage. He seeks cover in the Quenrelle forest. He enters the State of Silliarus and makes his home in the country side their for a year. Finally he begins to build supporters, supporters turn into an army. He takes a fleet of ships along the coast of Aetheria, his mission to retake Tanos, however instead he stumbles onto something else. In the year 218 he finds a rather large tropical island off the eastern coast of Aetheria. Instead of a bloody invasion he decides that this island would be his followers new home. He had his men build him a grand Palace, and a city. However Trivelle Yuri would not live to see the completion of his city. He dies in 220 just shy of his palaces completion. His son Trevor Yuri continues the work of his father. In the year 225 the palace and city are complete. At its completion he crowns himself Emperor. His people rejoice. He calls his empire the Yurian Empire, in memory of his father and of his family.
Emperor Yuri meets with King Xeros of Enon, House Mistress Gertrude Williams of Silliarus, and King Geruix of Tanos. Emperor Yuri at this meeting makes peace with King Geriux. They all agree that this is the natural progression of the Houses and Mistress Williams agrees. They all sign non-aggression pacts with one another. They also decide that having the senate is not important anymore since each house has established countries on Aetheria. However they do agree that having the Aetherian House Order is a good idea. An army for the whole of Aetheria. Therefore they decide to keep it, having a Garrison set up in each of their countries. However it is renamed to the Aetherian Order.
Shortly after the no aggression pact Gertrude Williams returns home and contemplates the words of the council. She decides that without a senate her people will need a stronger leader in order to protect them. She announces that she is crowning herself queen of the kingdom of Sillairus.
This is an age of peace and prosperity. During this time all the old rulers die. Trevor Yuri is succeeded by Gangus Yuri of the Yurian Empire and he is sucedded in 325 by his son Gangus Yuri II. Jeremy Geriux of Tanos is succeeded by his son Jeremy II who rules and died and is succeeded by Jeremy III in 324. Gertrude Williams of Sillarius is succeeded by her son Regenald Willams who is succedded by his son Regenald II in 334. Xeros is succedded by his son Xeros II in the year 300 and is still king of Enon today.
Gangus Yuri takes his fleet and sails to the mainland of Aetheria. On the South East Coast there are unclaimed lands that Yuri claims for his empire. He establishes a Trade Port on the Sea and builds outposts along the boarders of his land to protect from invaders. None of the other Kingdoms contest this seizure of land. However All the Kingdoms and the Empire agree that the center part of the continent, where the Renshi River runs shall remain unclaimed by any kingdom, the governments of those regions shall be city states, however they shall be under the protection of the Aetherian Order.
The Rulers of all Four States in Aetheria decide to form a council in order to deal with matters that concern all Aetherians. They use the old Senate Hall as the new Council Hall for this purpose.
In the year 338 Magistrate William Hoth of the independant township of Addercrest claims territory and declares Addercrest to be a kingdom. He crowns himself king.
