Jeremywosborne: /* ??? Post-Wesnoth */ minor correction to wesnoth history, per noting from quartex, original creator of under the burning suns

'''Historian's notes'''

This is a chronological history of the country of Wesnoth, gleaned from written accounts and verbal histories passed down through the generations. Portions of entries surrounded by parentheses and containing a question mark are assumed or unconfirmed information. The history is sorted by era, and within the era by date, using the Foundation of Wesnoth as a base. BW=Before Wesnoth, YW=Years Wesnoth. They function the same way as BC and AD do in our timekeeping system. Each of the eras is summarized before the timeline for that era begins. This history of the Great Continent is a subject of active scholarship; a narrative essay on the development of human settlements on the Great Continent is found in [[Wesnoth_Narrative_History|the narrative historical account]].

== Prehistory - 20 YW: The Founding of Wesnoth ==
During the age of the Founding of Wesnoth, there were two important geographic locations, these being the Green Isle and the Great Continent. Haldric is the main historical figure at this time. This age ends with the founding of Wesnoth as a country in the Great Continent, and with Orcs attacking both elves and men from the sea.

* These Orcs are defeated by Haldric's forces.
* Some of the Orcish survivors flee back to the Green Isle, others move to attack the Elves.
* King Haldric helps the Elves fight the surviving Orcs.

=== 8 YW ===

* Haldric I dishonors the Pact he spoke with the Elves and refuses to give aid.

=== 9-11 YW ===

* A new treaty between humans and elves is signed and King Haldric II allows emissaries of the Elves to return to Wesnoth.

== 20-130 YW: The Taming of the Wild ==
This era is that in which the kingdom of Wesnoth expanded and defined its borders, and settled the area which it had claimed for its own. The Taming of the Wild refers to the settling of the unsettled lands, as well as the population of the Northlands. The end of this era is marked by friction between the city-state of Elensefar and the country of Wesnoth, which will continue for the next several hundred years.

=== 23 YW ===
* The elves are able to sneak into orcish camp by stealth and assasinate their King. A long orcish civil war for succession follows. The orcs are unable to undertake action against any other race during this period and Wesnoth enjoys a long period of peace, known as the Golden Age of Wesnoth.
* Meanwhile, the elves are also involved in a civil war. Humans are able to rebuild and dominate Wesnoth.

=== Alternate History Regarding the Sceptre of Fire ===
* 25 YW
** Haldric II commissions a Dwarven tribe to build the Sceptre of Fire with the Ruby of Fire as its centerpiece.

** The volcano erupts, killing the Dwarves and the Elves who followed them.
** A Human messenger escapes to report to Haldric II that the Sceptre was created.

=== Reconciliation of the two versions of the Sceptre of Fire (Legend of Wesmere) ===
* After the Elves defeat the Orcs in Wesmere and the Orcs turn their attention to Humans, the Elves come to the aid of the Humans in the battle for Weslath.
* After the Alliance victory, the Elves advise Haldric II of the problems with the unshielded Ruby of Fire.
* Haldric II commissions the Dwarves to make the Sceptre as above.
* The Sceptre is lost as described above. During that period, both Orcs and Elves are each fighting a civil war. Consequently, Humans become the dominant race.
* This is the Golden Age of Wesnoth — the Wesnoth army is too strong for any opponent fighting a civil war and because their kings are no longer under the influence of the unshielded Ruby.
* Much later, the Ruby is found. It's shielded alright, but not properly. Consequently it still has a damaging effect on the Human kings.
* During the Delfador times and the battles with Ilaih-Malal, the Elves again advise Delfador, who realizes that the Sceptre is not properly shielded and manages to talk the king into ordering it again properly shielded.
* Another side effect of the encounter with the Elves is that Delfador gets Crelanu's book. The Elves think it will be safe with Delfador and indeed it helps him close the Iliah-Malal portal, but Asheviere also gains access to it.

=== 122 YW ===
* City of Elensefar is sacked by orcs.
* Meneldur, a sailor of Elensefar, sets out on a quest to regain the city.

=== 123 YW ===
* Elensefar is retaken by Meneldur along with Undead from the Green Isle.
* Elensefar becomes an independent city-state for the first time.

=== 161-164 YW ===
* The newly crowned king sought to make safe once and for all the wildlands that separated the human cities surrounding Weldyn and the coastal regions of Elensefar.
* The grand army of Wesnoth, personally led by the High Council of Archmagi, destroyed all enemies residing within Wesnoth.
* The city-state of Elensefar was formally united to the kingdom and settlements rapidly spread.

=== 164-176 YW ===
* During this twelve year span, the western fortress of Halstead was erected in the very heart of the wilderlands.

=== 199 YW ===
* Emboldened by the far-reaching arm of Halstead's protection, settlement in the west explodes
* The cities of Aldril and Carcyn grow to become major cities, the first as an important port due to its position on the Bay of Pearls, and the second as a stop on the road to Elensefar and military outpost along the Great River
* Settlers from Carcyn cross the Great River to establish the first settlements north of it

== 200-350 YW: The Golden Age of Wesnoth ==
The Golden Age of wesnoth was the time of the great kings, and of peace and prosperity within the kingdom. The Orcs had suffered a grave defeat at the hands of Wesnoth and Elensefar seventy-five years earlier, so they did not pose much of a threat, and whenever they did attack they were quickly defeated. This allowed the army to lessen in size, and the kings of this age to undertake the great public works they are renowned for. The era ends when the king of Wesnoth dies without an heir, and a new dynasty begins.

=== 250 YW ===
* Urug-Telfar attacks the lake atop mount Eregonor and pillages the surrounding areas.

* Elensefar remains a province of Wesnoth but exerts increasing independence due to isolation.
* Treaty between lord of Elensefar and king of Wesnoth signed.

=== 389 YW ===
* Garard, a future king of Wesnoth, is born

== 350-417 YW: The First Dark Age of Wesnoth ==

The first Dark Age was a time of strife and attacks from the outside. When Haldric IV died, it left Wesnoth without a king, and the next 70 years were marked by short-lived dynasties, attacks by ever more aggressive orcs, and the further separation of Wesnoth and Elensefar. The Dark Age ended when Garard I took the throne, and began a new dynasty that would last for several hundred years.

== 417-530 YW: The Turmoil of Asheviere ==
King Garard's dynasty was long-lived and productive, but it was also punctuated by significant turmoil: the first king suffered a very destructive undead attack, and the second was murdered by his own wife and son. It was not until 519 YW that Prince Konrad was able to wrest the throne from the Queen Mother Asheviere. After the turmoil finally ended, however, Wesnoth entered its next era.

== 530-630 YW: The Age of Fear ==
The Age of Fear takes its names from the events of the end of the era. On the surface, the first 90 years were every uneventful. However, during this time unexplainable magical events took place, especially in the eastern lands. Previously tamed lands were slowly claimed by wilderness as fear and paranoia gradually overshadowed the spirit of pioneering and adventure displayed earlier in Wesnoth's history. In the last 10 years of the age, Wesnoth bore the brunt of the most powerful Undead attack ever and was nearly destroyed. By the end of the era, most of Wesnoth had been made barren, most of the great buildings inside and outside of Weldyn were razed, and the population of Wesnoth was half of what it had been.

It was in this era that certain areas of the chaotic Northlands were for the first time put into any kind of law and order. A small group of humans and dwarves, accepting anyone of any race who wished to join, formed themselves into the "Northern Alliance”, with the vision of making the Northlands safe to live in. Over time, this alliance grew slowly but steadily in power. By the end of the era, the alliance had succeeded in making a few small areas, including Knalga and the surrounding regions, stable and prosperous. Consequently, many people evacuated from the wasteland that most of Wesnoth had become and moved north - depleting the population of Wesnoth still further.

=== 533 YW ===
* Delfador succumbs to old age and dies, his body is entombed alongside his staff in Eregonor.
* The next great sage of Wesnoth, Dacyn, is born.

=== 534 YW ===

* The small community of Dwarven Doors, in the Northlands just outside Knalga, rebels against the Orcish overlords.
* The residents, led by Tallin, head underground and find dwarves, whom they ally with.
* Their combined forces destroy an upstart Lich who is attempting to claim Knalga as his own.

=== 535 YW ===

* The local orcish leader Rakshas attacks Tallin and his forces, but does not penetrate the dwarves' defences.
* To help defeat the orcs, Tallin secures the help of two Liches, and rescues an elvish princess to secure the help of the elves.
* Assisted by his new allies, Tallin smashes the forces of Rakshas.
* According to some historians, Tallin and the elvish princess are married; others say they parted in bad blood.
* To preserve the new-found peace in the Northlands, Tallin and his allies form the Northern Alliance.

=== 563 YW ===
* Konrad and Li'sar die after an extraordinarily long reign.
* Princess Ana'sar becomes queen.
* The seer Galdren becomes prominent at the court of Weldyn.

=== 585 YW ===
* Queen Ana'sar retires.

=== 589 YW ===

=== 626 YW ===
* Mal-Ravanal attacks the middle outpost where Gweddry and Dacyn are stationed.
* Dacyn and Gweddry travel to the northern outpost, and, with Owaec, retreat into the northlands.

=== 627 YW ===
* Wesnoth's last defences are broken and the undead march on Wesnoth
* In the northlands, the orcs drive Gweddry's army back across the river.
* Weldyn is besieged.
* Gweddry breaks through undead lines to reach Weldyn.
* A council is held.
* Gweddry's army is lucky and kills Mal-Ravanal.
* Wesnoth is saved, but has been turned by the undead into a barren wasteland.

== 628-???: The Restoration of Wesnoth ==
The Restoration of Wesnoth began in an depressing manner. After Konrad II died, Wesnoth was plunged into civil war. However, the Restoration was, in the end, the time when Wesnoth recovered from the damage that Mal-Ravanal's undead attack had dealt. By the end of the era, Wesnoth was no longer a wasteland, but it would never regain the majesty it had at the height of its power.

In the meantime the Northlands were continuing to become more civilised and stable. Although nowhere near as safe and stable as Wesnoth was during it’s Golden Age, the Northlands soon came to have many large cities and a thriving - if somewhat dangerous - trade network.

Four major powers soon came to dominate much of the Northlands. First there were the dwarves, who dominated most of the mountains and a vast array of underground tunnels and cravens, the limit of which is known only to the dwarves. To the east, shrouded in mystery, lay the Elvish forests which continued to be inaccessible to anyone not of elvish blood. The remaining landscape was dominated either by orcish tribes, or independent human earldoms. As competition for the land grew fierce, wars continued to break out between human and orcish forces. For more then two centuries, the thing standing between the extermination of either - or both - the two races was the Northern Alliance, whose authority as a sort of impartial police force, soon came to be respected by all.

=== 628-635 YW ===
* Konrad II begins his attempt to rebuild Wesnoth.

=== 636 YW ===
* Konrad II dies, and Wesnoth plunges into Civil War

=== 750 YW ===
* A Lich-Lord of the Wesfolk invades the Great Continent.
* The king of Wesnoth incites war between the Elves, Dwarves and Orcs.
* The Elves, Dwarves and Orcs ally to defeat the Lich-Lord.

===The Reign of Black Eye Karun 761-816 YW===
[Comment: In Legend of Wesmere this Era is right after the orcish civil war]
After decades of struggle, Black Eye Karun is the first orc in the history of the Northlands to unite all the different squabbling orcish tribes under his banner. Among his many accomplishments as a Sovereign, his most famous is the creation of the Great Council, which has time and again proved to be the saviour of the orcs on the Great Continent.

Karun was a far sighted individual and he knew that after his death the orcish tribes would once again turn to fighting amongst themselves and there would be very little he could do to prevent that. He also knew that when orcs were fighting amongst themselves, it would be easy for any strong kingdom like wesnoth to wipe them off the face of the continent.

Consequently, Karun selected from amongst all the different tribes six of the most sober and wisest orcs and thus created the great council. It was the Great Council's job to stay aloof from any tribal or territorial squabbling amongst the orcs, but yet always remain there to give advice to whomever came to seek it. In order to preserve the orcish race in the event of an emergency, he invested in them the power to call upon The Great Horde. It was established that every orc, no matter what tribe he came from, must obey the summons of The Great Horde and follow wholeheartedly the leader that the Great Council put at the head of The Great Horde.

===816 YW===

*Rahul I, head of the Northern Alliance and Black Eye Karun sign a peace treaty ending a 15 year war between the humans and the orcs. Soon after this Karun, is ambushed and killed amidst mysterious circumstances.

===842 YW===

*War once again breaks out between the orcish tribes and the northern human earldoms as humans break the long standing treaty and attempt to colonise orcish lands. In response, the Great Council set up by the Black Eye Karun calls upon The Great Horde and bestows leadership of it upon Kapou’e, the Son of the Black Eye.

===843 YW===

*Half of the Great Council is treacherously slain by the allied human forces and orcish unity disintegrates. Faced with the extermination of all the orcs on the Great Continent, Kapou’e forcibly asserts his control over the orcish territories and defeats the enemy forces. The Northern Alliance arrives on the scene in time for the final battle and helps Kapou’e defeat the forces of the northern earldoms, who had broken the treaty. Kapou’e then assumes the position of Sovereign over the northern tribes, and his rule ushers in an unprecedented era of unity and prosperity for the orcs.

===852 YW===

*Kapou’e repels a large elvish invasion.

===858 YW===

*The humans once again stage an invasion but prove to be no match for the united orcish forces under the leadership of Kapou’e

== New Blood: The Invasions ==
After civil war, Wesnoth was fragmented into small kingdoms, making it easy prey for invading nations. It was then when Aragwaithi came, at the beginning functioning as the mercenaries.
In about 800 YW Akladians appeared from the east, conquering Wesnothian realms one by one.
After years of subjugation, it became clear that these were people cut from the same cloth. Around 900 YW a courageous young monarch of the Hagarthen clan completed the restoration of Wesnoth as the dominant race on the continent.

==After the Fall==
At some unknown point in the future, an unspeakable cataclysm scorched the surface of the lands. Forests died, hills turned into rocky wastelands and fields became barren deserts. In the apocalypse allies turned against each other and friends fought over what few resources remained. The great nations were destroyed, and huge numbers of people died. Still amidst the chaos somehow small groups of people survived, sheltered in hidden places. In this post-apocalyptic world survival is a daily struggle as a few remaining tribes eke out an existence among the ruins of fallen empires. Heroic bands of elves, nomadic refugee humans, savage hordes of orcs and dark necromancers all forge new lives under the merciless dual suns, Sela and Naia, of this new Wesnoth.

===??? Post-Wesnoth===

* The Quenoth elves adapt to life in barren world of the Great Southern Desert. Over time they lost their affinity for the woodlands of their ancestry and embrace life in the sandy wastelands.
* Under the leadership of Tanuil, the Quenoth elves build and sustain a fortified village around a rare oasis. The village thrives amidst the hostilities of the desert.
* One night, a meteor storm rains from the sky and destroys the village of the Quenoth elves. The next day, Tanuil, like many others, is missing and presumed dead. Kalehssar (Kaleh), nephew of Tanuil, takes leadership of the remaining Quenoth elves as the surviving next of kin.
* Kaleh, heeding the voice of his god Eloh in his dreams, gathers the remaining Quenoth elves and leads them north to a new promised land, foregoing rebuilding of their desert village.
* The Quenoth elves battle their way north through Undead, Orcs, Bandits and other evil, venturing underground beneath a large mountain range at the command of Eloh.
* Befriending unexpected allies underground, Kaleh's forces survive to the other side of the mountain.
* Keratur, son of Tanuil and survivor of the cataclysm, insane with fright attacks Kaleh. Kaleh defeats Keratur.
* Kaleh defies commands given him by a vision of Eloh.
* The Quenoth reach the ocean. Aided by Merfolk, they escape the mainland and head for a newly discovered island, a place where the Quenoth may settle in peace.
* On the island, the Quenoth confront Yechnagoth, the Eater of Souls and impersonator of Eloh. Yechnagoth and army are destroyed by the Quenoth.
* Kaleh and the elves settle on their newfound, and newly named, Quenoth Isle.

'''Historian's Notes'''

This is a collection of biographies, anecdotes, heroic (and dastardly) deeds by some of Wesnoth's most notable figures. Figures are listed in ascending alphabetical order, sorted by first name. Record keeping of dates uses the same chronology as can be found in the [[WesnothHistory|Wesnoth History]] section. The appearance of a triple question mark (???) marks information that needs to be verified.

"Identity curses men from birth. Konrad, forgive me for that which I shoulder you with. I pray you wear it as a badge on your heart, not a stone around your neck." - Delfador, at the coronation of Konrad

Would Parandra not have been so prudent and benevolent, the boy who grew into Konrad, King of Wesnoth would not be sung in the minstrels tunes. Konrad never knew his real parents. His real parents abandoned him in a copse a few strides off of an Elvish trade route. Parandra, knowing the human child's parents had distanced themselves by miles at this point (alluded to by certain smells emanating from the child's swaddled garments) pushed aside all hope. She picked up the child and took him in as her own.

Delfador arrived sometime after with the grim evidence of his failed rescue of Prince Konrad. Parandra and Delfador discussed at length the appearance of the nameless orphan boy. Both of them bared their worries that this plan, this trick wouldn't work were the boy old enough to reason on their own. Staring down at the orphan in his new crib, touched by his liveliness and cheer, they agreed give him a chance to be the heir to the throne of Wesnoth.

And on this day, the unknown orphan left for dead received a second chance in life as fugitive Prince Konrad.

Delfador raised Konrad as his son yet never pretended to be his father. Konrad grew up knowing only the life Delfador wove for him. Delfador trained him as a warrior and leader. Each new lesson gave way to another for the precocious student.

During his seventeenth year with Delfador, Konrad and his mentor fled the land of the elves during an attack led by Asheviere.

Konrad's life during these times is chronicled in the '''Heir to the Throne''' campaign.

Parandra, knowing the human child's parents had distanced themselves by miles at this point (alluded to by certain smells emanating from the child's swaddled garments) pushed aside all hope. She picked up the child and took him in as her own.

Delfador arrived sometime after with the grim evidence of his failed rescue of Prince Konrad. Parandra and Delfador discussed at length the appearance of the nameless orphan boy. Both of them bared their worries that this plan, this trick wouldn't work were the boy old enough to reason on their own. Staring down at the orphan in his new crib, touched by his liveliness and cheer, they agreed give him a chance to be the heir to the throne of Wesnoth.

And on this day, the unknown orphan left for dead received a second chance in life as fugitive Prince Konrad.

Delfador raised Konrad as his son yet never pretended to be his father. Konrad grew up knowing only the life Delfador wove for him. Delfador trained him as a warrior and leader. Each new lesson gave way to another for the precocious student.

During his seventeenth year with Delfador, Konrad and his mentor fled the land of the elves during an attack led by Asheviere.

Konrad's life during these times is chronicled in the '''Heir to the Throne''' campaign.

'''Historian's Notes'''

This is a collection of biographies, anecdotes, heroic (and dastardly) deeds by some of Wesnoth's most notable figures. Figures are listed in ascending alphabetical order, sorted by first name. Record keeping of dates uses the same chronology as can be found in the [[WesnothHistory|Wesnoth History]] section.

Delfador raised Konrad as his son yet never pretended to be his father. Konrad grew up knowing only the life Delfador wove for him. Delfador trained him as a warrior and leader. Each new lesson gave way to another for the precocious student.

During his seventeenth year with Delfador, Konrad and his mentor fled the land of the elves during an attack led by Asheviere.

Konrad's life during these times is chronicled in the '''Heir to the Throne''' campaign.

"Identity curses men from birth. Konrad, forgive me for that which I shoulder you with. I pray you wear it as a badge on your heart, not a stone around your neck." - Delfador, at the coronation of Konrad

Would Parandra not have been so prudent and benevolent, the boy who grew into Konrad, King of Wesnoth would not be sung in the minstrels tunes. Konrad never knew his real parents. His real parents abandoned him in a copse a few strides off of an Elvish trade route. Parandra, knowing the human child's parents had distanced themselves by miles at this point (alluded to by certain smells emanating from the child's swaddled garments) pushed aside all hope. She picked up the child and took him in as her own.

Delfador arrived sometime after with the grim evidence of his failed rescue of Prince Konrad. Parandra and Delfador discussed at length the appearance of the nameless orphan boy. Both of them bared their worries that this plan, this trick wouldn't work were the boy old enough to reason on their own. Staring down at the orphan in his new crib, touched by his liveliness and cheer, they agreed give him a chance to be the heir to the throne of Wesnoth.

'''Historian's Notes'''

This is a collection of biographies, anecdotes, heroic (and dastardly) deeds by some of Wesnoth's most notable figures. Figures are listed in ascending alphabetical order, sorted by first name. Record keeping of dates uses the same chronology as can be found in the [[WesnothHistory|Wesnoth History]] section. The appearance of a triple question mark (???) marks information that needs to be verified.

"Identity curses men from birth. Konrad, forgive me for that which I shoulder you with. I pray you wear it as a badge on your heart, not a stone around your neck." - Delfador, at the coronation of Konrad

Would Parandra not have been so prudent and benevolent, the boy who grew into Konrad, King of Wesnoth would not be sung in the minstrels tunes. Konrad never knew his real parents. His real parents abandoned him in a copse a few strides off of an Elvish trade route. Parandra, knowing the human child's parents had distanced themselves by miles at this point (alluded to by certain smells emanating from the child's swaddled garments) pushed aside all hope. She picked up the child and took him in as her own.

Delfador arrived sometime after with the grim evidence of his failed rescue of Prince Konrad. Parandra and Delfador discussed at length the appearance of the nameless orphan boy. Both of them bared their worries that this plan, this trick wouldn't work were the boy old enough to reason on their own. Staring down at the orphan in his new crib, touched by his liveliness and cheer, they agreed give him a chance to be the heir to the throne of Wesnoth.

And on this day, the unknown orphan left for dead received a second chance in life as fugitive Prince Konrad.

Delfador raised Konrad as his son yet never pretended to be his father. Konrad grew up knowing only the life Delfador wove for him. Delfador trained him as a warrior and leader. Each new lesson gave way to another for the precocious student.

During his seventeenth year with Delfador, Konrad and his mentor fled the land of the elves during an attack led by Asheviere.

Konrad's life during these times is chronicled in the '''Heir to the Throne''' campaign.

"Identity curses men from birth. Konrad, forgive me for that which I shoulder you with. I pray you wear it as a badge on your heart, not a stone around your neck." - Delfador, at the coronation of Konrad

Would Parandra not have been so prudent and benevolent, the boy who grew into Konrad, King of Wesnoth would not be sung in the minstrels tunes. Konrad never knew his real parents. His real parents abandoned him in a copse a few strides off of an Elvish trade route. Parandra, knowing the human child's parents had distanced themselves by miles at this point (alluded to by certain smells emanating from the child's swaddled garments) pushed aside all hope. She picked up the child and took him in as her own.

Delfador arrived sometime after with the grim evidence of his failed rescue of Prince Konrad. Parandra and Delfador discussed at length the appearance of the nameless orphan boy. Both of them bared their worries that this plan, this trick wouldn't work were the boy old enough to reason on their own. Staring down at the orphan in his new crib, touched by his liveliness and cheer, they agreed give him a chance to be the heir to the throne of Wesnoth.

And on this day, the unknown orphan left for dead received a second chance in life as fugitive Prince Konrad.

Delfador raised Konrad as his son....

'''Historian's Notes'''

This is a collection of biographies, anecdotes, heroic (and dastardly) deeds by some of Wesnoth's most notable figures. Figures are listed in ascending alphabetical order, sorted by first name. Record keeping of dates uses the same chronology as can be found in the [[WesnothHistory|Wesnoth History]] section. The appearance of a triple question mark (???) marks information that needs to be verified.

* Background Information

"Identity curses men from birth. Konrad, forgive me for that which I shoulder you with. I pray you wear at is badge on your heart, not a stone around your neck." - Delfador, at the coronation of Konrad

Would Parandra not have been so prudent and benevolent, the boy who grew into Konrad, King of Wesnoth would not be sung in the minstrels tunes. Konrad never knew his real parents. His real parents abandoned him in a copse a few strides off of an Elvish trade route. Parandra, knowing the human child's parents had distanced themselves by miles at this point (alluded to by certain smells emanating from the child's swaddled garments) pushed aside all hope. She picked up the child and took him in as her own.

Delfador arrived sometime after with the grim evidence of his failed rescue of Prince Konrad. Parandra and Delfador discussed at length the appearance of the nameless orphan boy. Both of them bared their worries that this plan, this trick wouldn't work were the boy old enough to reason on their own. Staring down at the orphan in his new crib, touched by his liveliness and cheer, they agreed give him a chance to be the heir to the throne of Wesnoth.

And on this day, the unknown orphan left for dead received a second chance in life as fugitive Prince Konrad.

Delfador raised Konrad as his son....

Jeremywosborne:

There seems to be some question over whether the Table of Contents should be there for this page or not. I think it should. The page is so large, there needs to be some easy way to navigate it. Opinions?

-turin

: Hmm, I removed it, but I don't have a real reason nor a strong opinion about it. Feel free to enable the Table of Contents again. --[[User:Jorda|Jorda]] 18:50, 22 August 2005 (CEST)

About : " 122 YW

* City of Elensefar is '''sacked''' by orcs. "

Please note, that (Saving_Elensefar/Attacked_at_Sea;cfg:21) indicates :

The city had fallen, but Meneldur and his crew had escaped. Leaving the harbor, and looking back at the city, they noticed something strange. The orcs '''were not''' burning the city and pillaging it, as was their habit; instead, they were leaving it alone, and concentrating on the Lord's castle. It was almost as if they wanted to control the city, instead of destroy it.

Should there be a Post Wesnoth (PW) age for classification of Under the Burning Suns?

Jeremywosborne: /* After the Fall */

'''Historian's notes'''

This is a chronological history of the country of Wesnoth, gleaned from written accounts and verbal histories passed down through the generations. Portions of entries surrounded by parentheses and containing a question mark are assumed or unconfirmed information. The history is sorted by era, and within the era by date, using the Foundation of Wesnoth as a base. BW=Before Wesnoth, YW=Years Wesnoth. They function the same way as BC and AD do in our timekeeping system. Each of the eras is summarized before the timeline for that era begins. This history of the Great Continent is a subject of active scholarship; a narrative essay on the development of human settlements on the Great Continent is found in [[Wesnoth_Narrative_History|the narrative historical account]].

== Prehistory - 20 YW: The Founding of Wesnoth ==
During the age of the Founding of Wesnoth, there were two important geographic locations, these being the Green Isle and the Great Continent. Haldric is the main historical figure at this time. This age ends with the founding of Wesnoth as a country in the Great Continent, and with Orcs attacking both elves and men from the sea.

=== Prehistory ===
* Birth of the world.
* Elves and Dwarves inhabit the Great Continent.
* Humans inhabit the distant West.
* Haldric's people colonise the Green Isle from a continent further to the west.

=== 200 BW ===
* The Lich-Lords arrive on the Green Isle after losing a war in the distant West.
* After a long war Haldric's people come to dominate the Green Isle.
* The 'Wesfolk' and their Lich-Lords are pushed onto marginal lands.

=== 12 BW ===
* The Crown Prince of Southbay discovers the Great Continent.

=== 11-7 BW ===
* The Crown Prince makes several voyages between the Green Isle and the Great Continent.

=== 6 BW ===
* Following these voyages to the Great Continent, the elder Crown Prince falls ill and dies.
* His younger brother is implicated in a plot to kill him.
* As a distraction the younger Prince starts a war with the Wesfolk and their Lich-Lords.
* The Lich-Lords sense they will be destroyed and open gates to the homeland of the Orcs in the West.

=== 5-2 BW ===
* The Green Isle is overrun with Orcs.
* The Wesfolk desert their Lich-Lords as they fear becoming prey for the Orcs.
* Prince Haldric leads the evacuation of the survivors to the Great Continent.

=== 1 BW ===
* Human settlers, led by Prince Haldric, arrive at the western coast of the Great Continent (the landfall occurs in the future Bay of Pearls) in large numbers.
* Humans arrive in the middle of a simmering dispute between the Elves and Dwarves.
* The Elves and Dwarves are distrustful of humans, and there is a small skirmish.
* Messengers from Wesmere Forest come and ask Haldric to come before the Ka'lian.
* Prince Haldric asks the Four Elvish Lords (Dionli, Logalmier, Aryad, and El'Isomithir) for help and land.
* They set before him four quests to prove his worth, which he completes.

=== 1 YW ===
* Haldric is granted the plains north and south of the Great River.
* Haldric agrees to a Pact of Mutual Defence with the Elves.
* Haldric founds the country of Wesnoth in these lands.
* Reign of Haldric I begins.

=== 2 YW ===
* Orcs, following the ships fleeing from the Green Isle, begin to arrive on the Great Continent.
* These Orcs are defeated by Haldric's forces.
* Some of the Orcish survivors flee back to the Green Isle, others move to attack the Elves.
* King Haldric helps the Elves fight the surviving Orcs.

=== 8 YW ===
* A second wave of Orcs arrive from the Green Isle; these Orcs start claiming large portions of the Great Continent for themselves.
* Haldric I dishonors the Pact he spoke with the Elves and refuses to give aid.

=== 9-11 YW ===
* Many Elves are killed in battle by the Orcs.
* Elvish emissaries are turned away from Wesnoth.

=== 12 YW ===
* Orcs fail to take the Wesmere Forest and instead march against the farmlands of Wesnoth.
* Elves refuse to aid the Humans in confronting the Orcs.
* Orcs attack the lands north of the great river from the mountains, then owned by Wesnoth.
* Humans are forced back to the great river and are able to hold it against Orcish attacks.

=== 20 YW ===
* Haldric I dies.
* Haldric II ascends to the throne.
* King Haldric II allows emissaries of the Elves to return to Wesnoth.

== 20-130 YW: The Taming of the Wild ==
This era is that in which the kingdom of Wesnoth expanded and defined its borders, and settled the area which it had claimed for its own. The Taming of the Wild refers to the settling of the unsettled lands, as well as the population of the Northlands. The end of this era is marked by friction between the city-state of Elensefar and the country of Wesnoth, which will continue for the next several hundred years.

=== 23 YW ===
* Haldric II sends General Aldar west with a portion of the Wesnoth army, to aid the Elves.
* The Orcs in the eastern lands are defeated.

=== Alternate History Regarding the Sceptre of Fire ===
* 25 YW
** Haldric II commissions a Dwarven tribe to build the Sceptre of Fire with the Ruby of Fire as its centerpiece.
** Elves attack the Dwarves as Haldric II is giving them the Ruby.
* 25-34 YW:
** The Dwarves gather materials to make the Sceptre.
* 35 YW:
** The tribe, searching for supplies, attack another Dwarvish clan, the Shorbears.
** Elves siege the citadel of the Dwarves.
* 36-40 YW:
** The Dwarves craft the Sceptre inside of the citadel while under siege, but cannot complete the incantation.
* 40 YW:
** The Dwarves break the siege and head underground, into the depths of the volcano where Khrakrahs the Dragon lives.
** The Dwarves fortify their position inside the caves and finish the Sceptre.
** The volcano erupts, killing the Dwarves and the Elves who followed them.
** A Human messenger escapes to report to Haldric II that the Sceptre was created.

=== Reconciliation of the two versions of the Sceptre of Fire (Legend of Wesmere) ===
* After the Elves defeat the Orcs in Wesmere and the Orcs turn their attention to Humans, the Elves come to the aid of the Humans in the battle for Weslath.
* After the Alliance victory, the Elves advise Haldric II of the problems with the unshielded Ruby of Fire.
* Haldric II commissions the Dwarves to make the Sceptre as above.
* The Sceptre is lost as described above. During that period, both Orcs and Elves are each fighting a civil war. Consequently, Humans become the dominant race.
* This is the Golden Age of Wesnoth — the Wesnoth army is too strong for any opponent fighting a civil war and because their kings are no longer under the influence of the unshielded Ruby.
* Much later, the Ruby is found. It's shielded alright, but not properly. Consequently it still has a damaging effect on the Human kings.
* During the Delfador times and the battles with Ilaih-Malal, the Elves again advise Delfador, who realizes that the Sceptre is not properly shielded and manages to talk the king into ordering it again properly shielded.
* Another side effect of the encounter with the Elves is that Delfador gets Crelanu's book. The Elves think it will be safe with Delfador and indeed it helps him close the Iliah-Malal portal, but Asheviere also gains access to it.

=== 122 YW ===
* City of Elensefar is sacked by orcs.
* Meneldur, a sailor of Elensefar, sets out on a quest to regain the city.

=== 123 YW ===
* Elensefar is retaken by Meneldur along with Undead from the Green Isle.
* Elensefar becomes an independent city-state for the first time.

=== 161-164 YW ===
* The newly crowned king sought to make safe once and for all the wildlands that separated the human cities surrounding Weldyn and the coastal regions of Elensefar.
* The grand army of Wesnoth, personally led by the High Council of Archmagi, destroyed all enemies residing within Wesnoth.
* The city-state of Elensefar was formally united to the kingdom and settlements rapidly spread.

=== 164-176 YW ===
* During this twelve year span, the western fortress of Halstead was erected in the very heart of the wilderlands.

=== 199 YW ===
* Emboldened by the far-reaching arm of Halstead's protection, settlement in the west explodes
* The cities of Aldril and Carcyn grow to become major cities, the first as an important port due to its position on the Bay of Pearls, and the second as a stop on the road to Elensefar and military outpost along the Great River
* Settlers from Carcyn cross the Great River to establish the first settlements north of it

== 200-350 YW: The Golden Age of Wesnoth ==
The Golden Age of wesnoth was the time of the great kings, and of peace and prosperity within the kingdom. The Orcs had suffered a grave defeat at the hands of Wesnoth and Elensefar seventy-five years earlier, so they did not pose much of a threat, and whenever they did attack they were quickly defeated. This allowed the army to lessen in size, and the kings of this age to undertake the great public works they are renowned for. The era ends when the king of Wesnoth dies without an heir, and a new dynasty begins.

=== 250 YW ===
* Urug-Telfar attacks the lake atop mount Eregonor and pillages the surrounding areas.
* The Elvish Heroes Kalenz and Glatrid are sent to defeat Urug-Telfar.
* Kalenz and Glatrid are successful in destroying the encamped Orcish forces.

=== 350 YW ===
* Fractioning of kingdom caused by death of Haldric IV.
* Elensefar remains a province of Wesnoth but exerts increasing independence due to isolation.
* Treaty between lord of Elensefar and king of Wesnoth signed.

=== 389 YW ===
* Garard, a future king of Wesnoth, is born

== 350-417 YW: The First Dark Age of Wesnoth ==

The first Dark Age was a time of strife and attacks from the outside. When Haldric IV died, it left Wesnoth without a king, and the next 70 years were marked by short-lived dynasties, attacks by ever more aggressive orcs, and the further separation of Wesnoth and Elensefar. The Dark Age ended when Garard I took the throne, and began a new dynasty that would last for several hundred years.

== 417-530 YW: The Turmoil of Asheviere ==
King Garard's dynasty was long-lived and productive, but it was also punctuated by significant turmoil: the first king suffered a very destructive undead attack, and the second was murdered by his own wife and son. It was not until 519 YW that Prince Konrad was able to wrest the throne from the Queen Mother Asheviere. After the turmoil finally ended, however, Wesnoth entered its next era.

=== 417 YW ===
* Ending years of strife and division, Garard I seizes the throne and becomes king of Wesnoth.
* Dwarves agree to craft the Sceptre of Fire for King Garard.

=== 440 YW ===
* Crown Prince Garard II is born.
* Delfador becomes Methor's apprentice

=== 442 YW ===
* Dark hordes of undead are reported in the plains of the East, terrorising the inhabitants.
* Garard sends a battle group to defeat the undead.
* Soldiers return from the battle reporting a crushing defeat.
* Garard asks the council of magi for help and is advised to send more troops.
* The young mage Delfador asks the King for permission to lead a force of magi instead.
* Garard agrees to let Delfador confront the undead.

== 530-630 YW: The Age of Fear ==
The Age of Fear takes its names from the events of the end of the era. On the surface, the first 90 years were every uneventful. However, during this time unexplainable magical events took place, especially in the eastern lands. Previously tamed lands were slowly claimed by wilderness as fear and paranoia gradually overshadowed the spirit of pioneering and adventure displayed earlier in Wesnoth's history. In the last 10 years of the age, Wesnoth bore the brunt of the most powerful Undead attack ever and was nearly destroyed. By the end of the era, most of Wesnoth had been made barren, most of the great buildings inside and outside of Weldyn were razed, and the population of Wesnoth was half of what it had been.

It was in this era that certain areas of the chaotic Northlands were for the first time put into any kind of law and order. A small group of humans and dwarves, accepting anyone of any race who wished to join, formed themselves into the "Northern Alliance”, with the vision of making the Northlands safe to live in. Over time, this alliance grew slowly but steadily in power. By the end of the era, the alliance had succeeded in making a few small areas, including Knalga and the surrounding regions, stable and prosperous. Consequently, many people evacuated from the wasteland that most of Wesnoth had become and moved north - depleting the population of Wesnoth still further.

=== 533 YW ===
* Delfador succumbs to old age and dies, his body is entombed alongside his staff in Eregonor.
* The next great sage of Wesnoth, Dacyn, is born.

=== 534 YW ===

* The small community of Dwarven Doors, in the Northlands just outside Knalga, rebels against the Orcish overlords.
* The residents, led by Tallin, head underground and find dwarves, whom they ally with.
* Their combined forces destroy an upstart Lich who is attempting to claim Knalga as his own.

=== 535 YW ===

* The local orcish leader Rakshas attacks Tallin and his forces, but does not penetrate the dwarves' defences.
* To help defeat the orcs, Tallin secures the help of two Liches, and rescues an elvish princess to secure the help of the elves.
* Assisted by his new allies, Tallin smashes the forces of Rakshas.
* According to some historians, Tallin and the elvish princess are married; others say they parted in bad blood.
* To preserve the new-found peace in the Northlands, Tallin and his allies form the Northern Alliance.

=== 563 YW ===
* Konrad and Li'sar die after an extraordinarily long reign.
* Princess Ana'sar becomes queen.
* The seer Galdren becomes prominent at the court of Weldyn.

=== 585 YW ===
* Queen Ana'sar retires.
* Haldric VII becomes king of Wesnoth.

=== 589 YW ===
* Dacyn the White Mage and Ravanal, an eastern wizard, compete to be the king's advisor.
* The seer Galdren dies after advising Haldric VII to choose Dacyn.
* The king does as Galdren advises.

=== 593 YW ===

* Konrad II is born.

=== 626 YW ===

=== 627 YW ===
* Wesnoth's last defences are broken and the undead march on Wesnoth
* In the northlands, the orcs drive Gweddry's army back across the river.
* Weldyn is besieged.
* Gweddry breaks through undead lines to reach Weldyn.
* A council is held.
* Gweddry's army is lucky and kills Mal-Ravanal.
* Wesnoth is saved, but has been turned by the undead into a barren wasteland.

== 628-???: The Restoration of Wesnoth ==
The Restoration of Wesnoth began in an depressing manner. After Konrad II died, Wesnoth was plunged into civil war. However, the Restoration was, in the end, the time when Wesnoth recovered from the damage that Mal-Ravanal's undead attack had dealt. By the end of the era, Wesnoth was no longer a wasteland, but it would never regain the majesty it had at the height of its power.

In the meantime the Northlands were continuing to become more civilised and stable. Although nowhere near as safe and stable as Wesnoth was during it’s Golden Age, the Northlands soon came to have many large cities and a thriving - if somewhat dangerous - trade network.

Four major powers soon came to dominate much of the Northlands. First there were the dwarves, who dominated most of the mountains and a vast array of underground tunnels and cravens, the limit of which is known only to the dwarves. To the east, shrouded in mystery, lay the Elvish forests which continued to be inaccessible to anyone not of elvish blood. The remaining landscape was dominated either by orcish tribes, or independent human earldoms. As competition for the land grew fierce, wars continued to break out between human and orcish forces. For more then two centuries, the thing standing between the extermination of either - or both - the two races was the Northern Alliance, whose authority as a sort of impartial police force, soon came to be respected by all.

=== 628-635 YW ===
* Konrad II begins his attempt to rebuild Wesnoth.

=== 636 YW ===
* Konrad II dies, and Wesnoth plunges into Civil War

=== 750 YW ===
* A Lich-Lord of the Wesfolk invades the Great Continent.
* The king of Wesnoth incites war between the Elves, Dwarves and Orcs.
* The Elves, Dwarves and Orcs ally to defeat the Lich-Lord.

===The Reign of Black Eye Karun 761-816 YW===

After decades of struggle, Black Eye Karun is the first orc in the history of the Northlands to unite all the different squabbling orcish tribes under his banner. Among his many accomplishments as a Sovereign, his most famous is the creation of the Great Council, which has time and again proved to be the saviour of the orcs on the Great Continent.

Karun was a far sighted individual and he knew that after his death the orcish tribes would once again turn to fighting amongst themselves and there would be very little he could do to prevent that. He also knew that when orcs were fighting amongst themselves, it would be easy for any strong kingdom like wesnoth to wipe them off the face of the continent.

Consequently, Karun selected from amongst all the different tribes six of the most sober and wisest orcs and thus created the great council. It was the Great Council's job to stay aloof from any tribal or territorial squabbling amongst the orcs, but yet always remain there to give advice to whomever came to seek it. In order to preserve the orcish race in the event of an emergency, he invested in them the power to call upon The Great Horde. It was established that every orc, no matter what tribe he came from, must obey the summons of The Great Horde and follow wholeheartedly the leader that the Great Council put at the head of The Great Horde.

===816 YW===

*Rahul I, head of the Northern Alliance and Black Eye Karun sign a peace treaty ending a 15 year war between the humans and the orcs. Soon after this Karun, is ambushed and killed amidst mysterious circumstances.

===842 YW===

*War once again breaks out between the orcish tribes and the northern human earldoms as humans break the long standing treaty and attempt to colonise orcish lands. In response, the Great Council set up by the Black Eye Karun calls upon The Great Horde and bestows leadership of it upon Kapou’e, the Son of the Black Eye.

===843 YW===

*Half of the Great Council is treacherously slain by the allied human forces and orcish unity disintegrates. Faced with the extermination of all the orcs on the Great Continent, Kapou’e forcibly asserts his control over the orcish territories and defeats the enemy forces. The Northern Alliance arrives on the scene in time for the final battle and helps Kapou’e defeat the forces of the northern earldoms, who had broken the treaty. Kapou’e then assumes the position of Sovereign over the northern tribes, and his rule ushers in an unprecedented era of unity and prosperity for the orcs.

===852 YW===

*Kapou’e repels a large elvish invasion.

===858 YW===

*The humans once again stage an invasion but prove to be no match for the united orcish forces under the leadership of Kapou’e

== New Blood: The Invasions ==
After civil war, Wesnoth was fragmented into small kingdoms, making it easy prey for invading nations. It was then when Aragwaithi came, at the beginning functioning as the mercenaries.
In about 800 YW Akladians appeared from the east, conquering Wesnothian realms one by one.
After years of subjugation, it became clear that these were people cut from the same cloth. Around 900 YW a courageous young monarch of the Hagarthen clan completed the restoration of Wesnoth as the dominant race on the continent.

==After the Fall==
At some unknown point in the future, an unspeakable cataclysm scorched the surface of the lands. Forests died, hills turned into rocky wastelands and fields became barren deserts. In the apocalypse allies turned against each other and friends fought over what few resources remained. The great nations were destroyed, and huge numbers of people died. Still amidst the chaos somehow small groups of people survived, sheltered in hidden places. In this post-apocalyptic world survival is a daily struggle as a few remaining tribes eke out an existence among the ruins of fallen empires. Heroic bands of elves, nomadic refugee humans, savage hordes of orcs and dark necromancers all forge new lives under the merciless dual suns, Sela and Naia, of this new Wesnoth.

===??? Post-Wesnoth===

* The Quenoth elves adapt to life in barren world of the Great Southern Desert. Over time they lost their affinity for the woodlands of their ancestry and embrace life in the sandy wastelands.
* Under the leadership of Tanuil, the Quenoth elves build and sustain a fortified village around a rare oasis. The village thrives amidst the hostilities of the desert.
* One night, a meteor storm rains from the sky and destroys the village of the Quenoth elves. The next day, Tanuil, like many others, is missing and presumed dead. Kalehssar (Kaleh), nephew of Tanuil, takes leadership of the remaining Quenoth elves as the surviving next of kin.
* Kaleh, heeding the voice of his god Eloh in his dreams, gathers the remaining Quenoth elves and leads them north to a new promised land, foregoing rebuilding of their desert village.
* The Quenoth elves battle their way north through Undead, Orcs, Bandits and other evil, venturing underground beneath an obsidian tower at the command of Eloh.
* Befriending unexpected allies underground, Kaleh's forces survive to the other side of the mountain.
* Keratur, son of Tanuil and survivor of the cataclysm, insane with fright attacks Kaleh. Kaleh defeats Keratur.
* Kaleh defies commands given him by a vision of Eloh.
* The Quenoth reach the ocean. Aided by Merfolk, they escape the mainland and head for a newly discovered island, a place where the Quenoth may settle in peace.
* On the island, the Quenoth confront Yechnagoth, the Eater of Souls and impersonator of Eloh. Yechnagoth and army are destroyed by the Quenoth.
* Kaleh and the elves settle on their newfound, and newly named, Quenoth Isle.

Jeremywosborne: /* After the Fall */

'''Historian's notes'''

This is a chronological history of the country of Wesnoth, gleaned from written accounts and verbal histories passed down through the generations. Portions of entries surrounded by parentheses and containing a question mark are assumed or unconfirmed information. The history is sorted by era, and within the era by date, using the Foundation of Wesnoth as a base. BW=Before Wesnoth, YW=Years Wesnoth. They function the same way as BC and AD do in our timekeeping system. Each of the eras is summarized before the timeline for that era begins. This history of the Great Continent is a subject of active scholarship; a narrative essay on the development of human settlements on the Great Continent is found in [[Wesnoth_Narrative_History|the narrative historical account]].

== Prehistory - 20 YW: The Founding of Wesnoth ==
During the age of the Founding of Wesnoth, there were two important geographic locations, these being the Green Isle and the Great Continent. Haldric is the main historical figure at this time.

== 20-130 YW: The Taming of the Wild ==

The Taming of the Wild refers to the settling of the unsettled lands, as well as the population of the Northlands.

=== Reconciliation of the two versions of the Sceptre of Fire (Legend of Wesmere) ===
* After the Elves defeat the Orcs in Wesmere and the Orcs turn their attention to Humans, the Elves come to the aid of the Humans in the battle for Weslath.
* After the Alliance victory, the Elves advise Haldric II of the problems with the unshielded Ruby of Fire.
* Haldric II commissions the Dwarves to make the Sceptre as above.
* The Sceptre is lost as described above. During that period, both Orcs and Elves are each fighting a civil war. Consequently, Humans become the dominant race.
* This is the Golden Age of Wesnoth — the Wesnoth army is too strong for any opponent fighting a civil war and because their kings are no longer under the influence of the unshielded Ruby.
* Much later, the Ruby is found. It's shielded alright, but not properly. Consequently it still has a damaging effect on the Human kings.
* During the Delfador times and the battles with Ilaih-Malal, the Elves again advise Delfador, who realizes that the Sceptre is not properly shielded and manages to talk the king into ordering it again properly shielded.
* Another side effect of the encounter with the Elves is that Delfador gets Crelanu's book. The Elves think it will be safe with Delfador and indeed it helps him close the Iliah-Malal portal, but Asheviere also gains access to it.

=== 122 YW ===
* City of Elensefar is sacked by orcs.
* Meneldur, a sailor of Elensefar, sets out on a quest to regain the city.

=== 123 YW ===

* Elensefar becomes an independent city-state for the first time.

=== 161-164 YW ===
* The newly crowned king sought to make safe once and for all the wildlands that separated the human cities surrounding Weldyn and the coastal regions of Elensefar.
* The grand army of Wesnoth, personally led by the High Council of Archmagi, destroyed all enemies residing within Wesnoth.
* The city-state of Elensefar was formally united to the kingdom and settlements rapidly spread.

=== 164-176 YW ===
* During this twelve year span, the western fortress of Halstead was erected in the very heart of the wilderlands.

=== 199 YW ===
* Emboldened by the far-reaching arm of Halstead's protection, settlement in the west explodes
* The cities of Aldril and Carcyn grow to become major cities, the first as an important port due to its position on the Bay of Pearls, and the second as a stop on the road to Elensefar and military outpost along the Great River
* Settlers from Carcyn cross the Great River to establish the first settlements north of it

== 200-350 YW: The Golden Age of Wesnoth ==
The Golden Age of wesnoth was the time of the great kings, and of peace and prosperity within the kingdom. The Orcs had suffered a grave defeat at the hands of Wesnoth and Elensefar seventy-five years earlier, so they did not pose much of a threat, and whenever they did attack they were quickly defeated. This allowed the army to lessen in size, and the kings of this age to undertake the great public works they are renowned for. The era ends when the king of Wesnoth dies without an heir, and a new dynasty begins.

=== 250 YW ===
* Urug-Telfar attacks the lake atop mount Eregonor and pillages the surrounding areas.

=== 389 YW ===
* Garard, a future king of Wesnoth, is born

== 350-417 YW: The First Dark Age of Wesnoth ==

The first Dark Age was a time of strife and attacks from the outside. When Haldric IV died, it left Wesnoth without a king, and the next 70 years were marked by short-lived dynasties, attacks by ever more aggressive orcs, and the further separation of Wesnoth and Elensefar. The Dark Age ended when Garard I took the throne, and began a new dynasty that would last for several hundred years.

== 417-530 YW: The Turmoil of Asheviere ==
King Garard's dynasty was long-lived and productive, but it was also punctuated by significant turmoil: the first king suffered a very destructive undead attack, and the second was murdered by his own wife and son. It was not until 519 YW that Prince Konrad was able to wrest the throne from the Queen Mother Asheviere. After the turmoil finally ended, however, Wesnoth entered its next era.

=== 417 YW ===

* Birth of Princess Ana'sar.

== 530-630 YW: The Age of Fear ==
The Age of Fear takes its names from the events of the end of the era. On the surface, the first 90 years were every uneventful. However, during this time unexplainable magical events took place, especially in the eastern lands. Previously tamed lands were slowly claimed by wilderness as fear and paranoia gradually overshadowed the spirit of pioneering and adventure displayed earlier in Wesnoth's history. In the last 10 years of the age, Wesnoth bore the brunt of the most powerful Undead attack ever and was nearly destroyed. By the end of the era, most of Wesnoth had been made barren, most of the great buildings inside and outside of Weldyn were razed, and the population of Wesnoth was half of what it had been.

It was in this era that certain areas of the chaotic Northlands were for the first time put into any kind of law and order. A small group of humans and dwarves, accepting anyone of any race who wished to join, formed themselves into the "Northern Alliance”, with the vision of making the Northlands safe to live in. Over time, this alliance grew slowly but steadily in power. By the end of the era, the alliance had succeeded in making a few small areas, including Knalga and the surrounding regions, stable and prosperous. Consequently, many people evacuated from the wasteland that most of Wesnoth had become and moved north - depleting the population of Wesnoth still further.

=== 533 YW ===
* Delfador succumbs to old age and dies, his body is entombed alongside his staff in Eregonor.
* The next great sage of Wesnoth, Dacyn, is born.

=== 534 YW ===

* The small community of Dwarven Doors, in the Northlands just outside Knalga, rebels against the Orcish overlords.
* The residents, led by Tallin, head underground and find dwarves, whom they ally with.
* Their combined forces destroy an upstart Lich who is attempting to claim Knalga as his own.

=== 535 YW ===

* The local orcish leader Rakshas attacks Tallin and his forces, but does not penetrate the dwarves' defences.
* To help defeat the orcs, Tallin secures the help of two Liches, and rescues an elvish princess to secure the help of the elves.
* Assisted by his new allies, Tallin smashes the forces of Rakshas.
* According to some historians, Tallin and the elvish princess are married; others say they parted in bad blood.
* To preserve the new-found peace in the Northlands, Tallin and his allies form the Northern Alliance.

=== 563 YW ===
* Konrad and Li'sar die after an extraordinarily long reign.
* Princess Ana'sar becomes queen.
* The seer Galdren becomes prominent at the court of Weldyn.

=== 585 YW ===
* Queen Ana'sar retires.
* Haldric VII becomes king of Wesnoth.

=== 589 YW ===
* Dacyn the White Mage and Ravanal, an eastern wizard, compete to be the king's advisor.
* The seer Galdren dies after advising Haldric VII to choose Dacyn.
* The king does as Galdren advises.

=== 593 YW ===
* Ravanal reveals that he has turned to evil, and flees from Weldyn.

* Konrad II is born.

=== 612 YW ===
* Konrad II becomes King of Wesnoth.
* Dacyn continues his duties as advisor with Konrad II.

=== 625 YW ===
* Mysterious disappearances of livestock and peasants along the eastern border of Wesnoth.
* Konrad II sends Dacyn with Owaec and Gweddry to man the old eastern outposts.

=== 626 YW ===
* Mal-Ravanal attacks the middle outpost where Gweddry and Dacyn are stationed.
* Dacyn and Gweddry travel to the northern outpost, and, with Owaec, retreat into the northlands.

=== 627 YW ===
* Wesnoth's last defences are broken and the undead march on Wesnoth
* In the northlands, the orcs drive Gweddry's army back across the river.
* Weldyn is besieged.
* Gweddry breaks through undead lines to reach Weldyn.
* A council is held.
* Gweddry's army is lucky and kills Mal-Ravanal.
* Wesnoth is saved, but has been turned by the undead into a barren wasteland.

== 628-???: The Restoration of Wesnoth ==
The Restoration of Wesnoth began in an depressing manner. After Konrad II died, Wesnoth was plunged into civil war. However, the Restoration was, in the end, the time when Wesnoth recovered from the damage that Mal-Ravanal's undead attack had dealt. By the end of the era, Wesnoth was no longer a wasteland, but it would never regain the majesty it had at the height of its power.

In the meantime the Northlands were continuing to become more civilised and stable. Although nowhere near as safe and stable as Wesnoth was during it’s Golden Age, the Northlands soon came to have many large cities and a thriving - if somewhat dangerous - trade network.

Four major powers soon came to dominate much of the Northlands. First there were the dwarves, who dominated most of the mountains and a vast array of underground tunnels and cravens, the limit of which is known only to the dwarves. To the east, shrouded in mystery, lay the Elvish forests which continued to be inaccessible to anyone not of elvish blood. The remaining landscape was dominated either by orcish tribes, or independent human earldoms. As competition for the land grew fierce, wars continued to break out between human and orcish forces. For more then two centuries, the thing standing between the extermination of either - or both - the two races was the Northern Alliance, whose authority as a sort of impartial police force, soon came to be respected by all.

=== 628-635 YW ===
* Konrad II begins his attempt to rebuild Wesnoth.

=== 636 YW ===
* Konrad II dies, and Wesnoth plunges into Civil War

=== 750 YW ===
* A Lich-Lord of the Wesfolk invades the Great Continent.
* The king of Wesnoth incites war between the Elves, Dwarves and Orcs.
* The Elves, Dwarves and Orcs ally to defeat the Lich-Lord.

===The Reign of Black Eye Karun 761-816 YW===

After decades of struggle, Black Eye Karun is the first orc in the history of the Northlands to unite all the different squabbling orcish tribes under his banner. Among his many accomplishments as a Sovereign, his most famous is the creation of the Great Council, which has time and again proved to be the saviour of the orcs on the Great Continent.

Karun was a far sighted individual and he knew that after his death the orcish tribes would once again turn to fighting amongst themselves and there would be very little he could do to prevent that. He also knew that when orcs were fighting amongst themselves, it would be easy for any strong kingdom like wesnoth to wipe them off the face of the continent.

Consequently, Karun selected from amongst all the different tribes six of the most sober and wisest orcs and thus created the great council. It was the Great Council's job to stay aloof from any tribal or territorial squabbling amongst the orcs, but yet always remain there to give advice to whomever came to seek it. In order to preserve the orcish race in the event of an emergency, he invested in them the power to call upon The Great Horde. It was established that every orc, no matter what tribe he came from, must obey the summons of The Great Horde and follow wholeheartedly the leader that the Great Council put at the head of The Great Horde.

===816 YW===

*Rahul I, head of the Northern Alliance and Black Eye Karun sign a peace treaty ending a 15 year war between the humans and the orcs. Soon after this Karun, is ambushed and killed amidst mysterious circumstances.

===842 YW===

*War once again breaks out between the orcish tribes and the northern human earldoms as humans break the long standing treaty and attempt to colonise orcish lands. In response, the Great Council set up by the Black Eye Karun calls upon The Great Horde and bestows leadership of it upon Kapou’e, the Son of the Black Eye.

===843 YW===

*Half of the Great Council is treacherously slain by the allied human forces and orcish unity disintegrates. Faced with the extermination of all the orcs on the Great Continent, Kapou’e forcibly asserts his control over the orcish territories and defeats the enemy forces. The Northern Alliance arrives on the scene in time for the final battle and helps Kapou’e defeat the forces of the northern earldoms, who had broken the treaty. Kapou’e then assumes the position of Sovereign over the northern tribes, and his rule ushers in an unprecedented era of unity and prosperity for the orcs.

===852 YW===

*Kapou’e repels a large elvish invasion.

===858 YW===

*The humans once again stage an invasion but prove to be no match for the united orcish forces under the leadership of Kapou’e

== New Blood: The Invasions ==
After civil war, Wesnoth was fragmented into small kingdoms, making it easy prey for invading nations. It was then when Aragwaithi came, at the beginning functioning as the mercenaries.
In about 800 YW Akladians appeared from the east, conquering Wesnothian realms one by one.
After years of subjugation, it became clear that these were people cut from the same cloth. Around 900 YW a courageous young monarch of the Hagarthen clan completed the restoration of Wesnoth as the dominant race on the continent.

==After the Fall==
At some unknown point in the future, an unspeakable cataclysm scorched the surface of the lands. Forests died, hills turned into rocky wastelands and fields became barren deserts. In the apocalypse allies turned against each other and friends fought over what few resources remained. The great nations were destroyed, and huge numbers of people died. Still amidst the chaos somehow small groups of people survived, sheltered in hidden places. In this post-apocalyptic world survival is a daily struggle as a few remaining tribes eke out an existence among the ruins of fallen empires. Heroic bands of elves, nomadic refugee humans, savage hordes of orcs and dark necromancers all forge new lives under the merciless dual suns, Sela and Naia, of this new Wesnoth.

* The Quenoth elves adapt to life in barren world of the Great Southern Desert. Over time they lost their affinity for the woodlands of their ancestry and embrace life in the sandy wastelands.
* Under the leadership of Tanuil, the Quenoth elves build and sustain a fortified village around a rare oasis. The village thrives amidst the hostilities of the desert.
* One night, a meteor storm rains from the sky and destroys the village of the Quenoth elves. The next day, Tanuil, like many others, is missing and presumed dead. Kalehssar (Kaleh), nephew of Tanuil, takes leadership of the remaining Quenoth elves as the surviving next of kin.
* Kaleh, heeding the voice of his god Eloh in his dreams, gathers the remaining Quenoth elves and leads them north to a new promised land, foregoing rebuilding of their desert village.
* The Quenoth elves battle their way north through Undead, Orcs, Bandits and other evil, venturing underground beneath an obsidian tower at the command of Eloh.
* Befriending unexpected allies underground, Kaleh's forces survive to the other side of the mountain.
* Keratur, son of Tanuil and survivor of the cataclysm, insane with fright attacks Kaleh. Kaleh defeats Keratur.
* Kaleh defies commands given him by a vision of Eloh.
* The Quenoth reach the ocean. Aided by Merfolk, they escape the mainland and head for a newly discovered island, a place where the Quenoth may settle in peace.
* On the island, the Quenoth confront Yechnagoth, the Eater of Souls and impersonator of Eloh. Yechnagoth and army are destroyed by the Quenoth.
* Kaleh and the elves settle on their newfound, and newly named, Quenoth Isle.

Jeremywosborne: /* After the Fall */

'''Historian's notes'''

This is a chronological history of the country of Wesnoth, gleaned from written accounts and verbal histories passed down through the generations. Portions of entries surrounded by parentheses and containing a question mark are assumed or unconfirmed information. The history is sorted by era, and within the era by date, using the Foundation of Wesnoth as a base. BW=Before Wesnoth, YW=Years Wesnoth. They function the same way as BC and AD do in our timekeeping system. Each of the eras is summarized before the timeline for that era begins. This history of the Great Continent is a subject of active scholarship; a narrative essay on the development of human settlements on the Great Continent is found in [[Wesnoth_Narrative_History|the narrative historical account]].

== Prehistory - 20 YW: The Founding of Wesnoth ==
During the age of the Founding of Wesnoth, there were two important geographic locations, these being the Green Isle and the Great Continent. Haldric is the main historical figure at this time.

== 20-130 YW: The Taming of the Wild ==
This era is that in which the kingdom of Wesnoth expanded and defined its borders, and settled the area which it had claimed for its own. The Taming of the Wild refers to the settling of the unsettled lands, as well as the population of the Northlands. The end of this era is marked by friction between the city-state of Elensefar and the country of Wesnoth, which will continue for the next several hundred years.

=== Reconciliation of the two versions of the Sceptre of Fire (Legend of Wesmere) ===
* After the Elves defeat the Orcs in Wesmere and the Orcs turn their attention to Humans, the Elves come to the aid of the Humans in the battle for Weslath.
* After the Alliance victory, the Elves advise Haldric II of the problems with the unshielded Ruby of Fire.
* Haldric II commissions the Dwarves to make the Sceptre as above.
* The Sceptre is lost as described above. During that period, both Orcs and Elves are each fighting a civil war. Consequently, Humans become the dominant race.
* This is the Golden Age of Wesnoth — the Wesnoth army is too strong for any opponent fighting a civil war and because their kings are no longer under the influence of the unshielded Ruby.
* Much later, the Ruby is found. It's shielded alright, but not properly. Consequently it still has a damaging effect on the Human kings.
* During the Delfador times and the battles with Ilaih-Malal, the Elves again advise Delfador, who realizes that the Sceptre is not properly shielded and manages to talk the king into ordering it again properly shielded.
* Another side effect of the encounter with the Elves is that Delfador gets Crelanu's book. The Elves think it will be safe with Delfador and indeed it helps him close the Iliah-Malal portal, but Asheviere also gains access to it.

=== 122 YW ===
* City of Elensefar is sacked by orcs.
* Meneldur, a sailor of Elensefar, sets out on a quest to regain the city.

=== 123 YW ===
* Elensefar is retaken by Meneldur along with Undead from the Green Isle.
* Elensefar becomes an independent city-state for the first time.

=== 161-164 YW ===
* The newly crowned king sought to make safe once and for all the wildlands that separated the human cities surrounding Weldyn and the coastal regions of Elensefar.
* The grand army of Wesnoth, personally led by the High Council of Archmagi, destroyed all enemies residing within Wesnoth.
* The city-state of Elensefar was formally united to the kingdom and settlements rapidly spread.

=== 164-176 YW ===
* During this twelve year span, the western fortress of Halstead was erected in the very heart of the wilderlands.

=== 199 YW ===
* Emboldened by the far-reaching arm of Halstead's protection, settlement in the west explodes
* The cities of Aldril and Carcyn grow to become major cities, the first as an important port due to its position on the Bay of Pearls, and the second as a stop on the road to Elensefar and military outpost along the Great River
* Settlers from Carcyn cross the Great River to establish the first settlements north of it

== 200-350 YW: The Golden Age of Wesnoth ==
The Golden Age of wesnoth was the time of the great kings, and of peace and prosperity within the kingdom. The Orcs had suffered a grave defeat at the hands of Wesnoth and Elensefar seventy-five years earlier, so they did not pose much of a threat, and whenever they did attack they were quickly defeated. This allowed the army to lessen in size, and the kings of this age to undertake the great public works they are renowned for. The era ends when the king of Wesnoth dies without an heir, and a new dynasty begins.

=== 250 YW ===
* Urug-Telfar attacks the lake atop mount Eregonor and pillages the surrounding areas.

=== 389 YW ===
* Garard, a future king of Wesnoth, is born

== 350-417 YW: The First Dark Age of Wesnoth ==

The first Dark Age was a time of strife and attacks from the outside. When Haldric IV died, it left Wesnoth without a king, and the next 70 years were marked by short-lived dynasties, attacks by ever more aggressive orcs, and the further separation of Wesnoth and Elensefar. The Dark Age ended when Garard I took the throne, and began a new dynasty that would last for several hundred years.

== 417-530 YW: The Turmoil of Asheviere ==
King Garard's dynasty was long-lived and productive, but it was also punctuated by significant turmoil: the first king suffered a very destructive undead attack, and the second was murdered by his own wife and son. It was not until 519 YW that Prince Konrad was able to wrest the throne from the Queen Mother Asheviere. After the turmoil finally ended, however, Wesnoth entered its next era.

=== 417 YW ===
* Ending years of strife and division, Garard I seizes the throne and becomes king of Wesnoth.

== 530-630 YW: The Age of Fear ==
The Age of Fear takes its names from the events of the end of the era. On the surface, the first 90 years were every uneventful. However, during this time unexplainable magical events took place, especially in the eastern lands. Previously tamed lands were slowly claimed by wilderness as fear and paranoia gradually overshadowed the spirit of pioneering and adventure displayed earlier in Wesnoth's history. In the last 10 years of the age, Wesnoth bore the brunt of the most powerful Undead attack ever and was nearly destroyed. By the end of the era, most of Wesnoth had been made barren, most of the great buildings inside and outside of Weldyn were razed, and the population of Wesnoth was half of what it had been.

It was in this era that certain areas of the chaotic Northlands were for the first time put into any kind of law and order. A small group of humans and dwarves, accepting anyone of any race who wished to join, formed themselves into the "Northern Alliance”, with the vision of making the Northlands safe to live in. Over time, this alliance grew slowly but steadily in power. By the end of the era, the alliance had succeeded in making a few small areas, including Knalga and the surrounding regions, stable and prosperous. Consequently, many people evacuated from the wasteland that most of Wesnoth had become and moved north - depleting the population of Wesnoth still further.

=== 533 YW ===
* Delfador succumbs to old age and dies, his body is entombed alongside his staff in Eregonor.
* The next great sage of Wesnoth, Dacyn, is born.

=== 534 YW ===

* The small community of Dwarven Doors, in the Northlands just outside Knalga, rebels against the Orcish overlords.
* The residents, led by Tallin, head underground and find dwarves, whom they ally with.
* Their combined forces destroy an upstart Lich who is attempting to claim Knalga as his own.

=== 535 YW ===

* The local orcish leader Rakshas attacks Tallin and his forces, but does not penetrate the dwarves' defences.
* To help defeat the orcs, Tallin secures the help of two Liches, and rescues an elvish princess to secure the help of the elves.
* Assisted by his new allies, Tallin smashes the forces of Rakshas.
* According to some historians, Tallin and the elvish princess are married; others say they parted in bad blood.
* To preserve the new-found peace in the Northlands, Tallin and his allies form the Northern Alliance.

* Dacyn and Gweddry travel to the northern outpost, and, with Owaec, retreat into the northlands.

=== 627 YW ===
* Wesnoth's last defences are broken and the undead march on Wesnoth
* In the northlands, the orcs drive Gweddry's army back across the river.
* Weldyn is besieged.

== 628-???: The Restoration of Wesnoth ==
The Restoration of Wesnoth began in an depressing manner. After Konrad II died, Wesnoth was plunged into civil war. However, the Restoration was, in the end, the time when Wesnoth recovered from the damage that Mal-Ravanal's undead attack had dealt. By the end of the era, Wesnoth was no longer a wasteland, but it would never regain the majesty it had at the height of its power.

In the meantime the Northlands were continuing to become more civilised and stable. Although nowhere near as safe and stable as Wesnoth was during it’s Golden Age, the Northlands soon came to have many large cities and a thriving - if somewhat dangerous - trade network.

Four major powers soon came to dominate much of the Northlands. First there were the dwarves, who dominated most of the mountains and a vast array of underground tunnels and cravens, the limit of which is known only to the dwarves. To the east, shrouded in mystery, lay the Elvish forests which continued to be inaccessible to anyone not of elvish blood. The remaining landscape was dominated either by orcish tribes, or independent human earldoms. As competition for the land grew fierce, wars continued to break out between human and orcish forces. For more then two centuries, the thing standing between the extermination of either - or both - the two races was the Northern Alliance, whose authority as a sort of impartial police force, soon came to be respected by all.

=== 628-635 YW ===
* Konrad II begins his attempt to rebuild Wesnoth.

=== 636 YW ===
* Konrad II dies, and Wesnoth plunges into Civil War

=== 750 YW ===
* A Lich-Lord of the Wesfolk invades the Great Continent.
* The king of Wesnoth incites war between the Elves, Dwarves and Orcs.
* The Elves, Dwarves and Orcs ally to defeat the Lich-Lord.

===The Reign of Black Eye Karun 761-816 YW===

After decades of struggle, Black Eye Karun is the first orc in the history of the Northlands to unite all the different squabbling orcish tribes under his banner. Among his many accomplishments as a Sovereign, his most famous is the creation of the Great Council, which has time and again proved to be the saviour of the orcs on the Great Continent.

Karun was a far sighted individual and he knew that after his death the orcish tribes would once again turn to fighting amongst themselves and there would be very little he could do to prevent that. He also knew that when orcs were fighting amongst themselves, it would be easy for any strong kingdom like wesnoth to wipe them off the face of the continent.

Consequently, Karun selected from amongst all the different tribes six of the most sober and wisest orcs and thus created the great council. It was the Great Council's job to stay aloof from any tribal or territorial squabbling amongst the orcs, but yet always remain there to give advice to whomever came to seek it. In order to preserve the orcish race in the event of an emergency, he invested in them the power to call upon The Great Horde. It was established that every orc, no matter what tribe he came from, must obey the summons of The Great Horde and follow wholeheartedly the leader that the Great Council put at the head of The Great Horde.

===816 YW===

*Rahul I, head of the Northern Alliance and Black Eye Karun sign a peace treaty ending a 15 year war between the humans and the orcs. Soon after this Karun, is ambushed and killed amidst mysterious circumstances.

===842 YW===

*War once again breaks out between the orcish tribes and the northern human earldoms as humans break the long standing treaty and attempt to colonise orcish lands. In response, the Great Council set up by the Black Eye Karun calls upon The Great Horde and bestows leadership of it upon Kapou’e, the Son of the Black Eye.

===843 YW===

*Half of the Great Council is treacherously slain by the allied human forces and orcish unity disintegrates. Faced with the extermination of all the orcs on the Great Continent, Kapou’e forcibly asserts his control over the orcish territories and defeats the enemy forces. The Northern Alliance arrives on the scene in time for the final battle and helps Kapou’e defeat the forces of the northern earldoms, who had broken the treaty. Kapou’e then assumes the position of Sovereign over the northern tribes, and his rule ushers in an unprecedented era of unity and prosperity for the orcs.

===852 YW===

*Kapou’e repels a large elvish invasion.

===858 YW===

*The humans once again stage an invasion but prove to be no match for the united orcish forces under the leadership of Kapou’e

== New Blood: The Invasions ==
After civil war, Wesnoth was fragmented into small kingdoms, making it easy prey for invading nations. It was then when Aragwaithi came, at the beginning functioning as the mercenaries.
In about 800 YW Akladians appeared from the east, conquering Wesnothian realms one by one.
After years of subjugation, it became clear that these were people cut from the same cloth. Around 900 YW a courageous young monarch of the Hagarthen clan completed the restoration of Wesnoth as the dominant race on the continent.

==After the Fall==
At some unknown point in the future, an unspeakable cataclysm scorched the surface of the lands. Forests died, hills turned into rocky wastelands and fields became barren deserts. In the apocalypse allies turned against each other and friends fought over what few resources remained. The great nations were destroyed, and huge numbers of people died. Still amidst the chaos somehow small groups of people survived, sheltered in hidden places. In this post-apocalyptic world survival is a daily struggle as a few remaining tribes eke out an existence among the ruins of fallen empires. Heroic bands of elves, nomadic refugee humans, savage hordes of orcs and dark necromancers all forge new lives under the merciless dual suns, Sela and Naia, of this new Wesnoth.

* The Quenoth elves adapt to life in barren world of the Great Southern Desert. Over time they lost their affinity for the woodlands of their ancestry and embrace life in the sandy wastelands.
* Under the leadership of Tanuil, the Quenoth elves build and sustain a fortified village around a rare oasis. The village thrives amidst the hostilities of the desert.
* One night, a meteor storm rains from the sky and destroys the village of the Quenoth elves. The next day, Tanuil, like many others, is missing and presumed dead. Kaleh, nephew of Tanuil, takes leadership of the remaining Quenoth elves as the surviving next of kin.
* Kaleh, heeding the voice of his god Eloh in his dreams, gathers the remaining Quenoth elves and leads them north to a new promised land, foregoing rebuilding of their desert village.

== Heir to the Throne Storyline ==

(NOTE: This storyline overview corresponds to the 1.2.1 stable version of Battle for Wesnoth.)

Scenario 1 - Asheviere decides to attack the Elves. In doing so, Orcs attack Konrad and Delfador's home. Konrad and Delfador are forced to flee, and decide to head for the isle of Anduin,
where they hope to find safe haven.

Scenario 2 - Konrad and Delfador arrive at Blackwater Port, looking for a ship sailing to Anduin. However the port area is being attacked by Orcs. The Knight who is lord here offers the assistance of horsemen. A horseman named Haldiel joins Konrad. Once the orcs are defeated or held off, a ship arrives to take Konrad and Delfador to Anduin.

Scenario 3 - Konrad and Delfador arrive at Anduin. They find the island ravaged by Orcs.
After defeating the Orcs they meet an old friend of Delfador's, who offers them the assistance of mages. They hear that Asheviere has enslaved the mermen at the nearby Bay of Pearls. Wanting to fight back, they decide to rescue the mermen.

Scenario 4 - While Delfador lures most of the orcs away, Konrad must free the mermen and defeat their captors. After the battle, Delfador returns with news that the city of Elensefar has been attacked. Delfador leaves to bring the news to the elven council, while Konrad takes on the duty of defending or recapturing it.

Scenario 5A - If Konrad chooses to travel by land to Elensefar, he has his first encounter with the undead.

Scenario 5B - If Konrad chooses to travel by sea, a storm shipwrecks him. Fortunately, the mermen rescue Konrad and carry him to a nearby island. Here, Konrad meets the undead for the first time and must hold them off while the mermen rescue the rest of his men and the crew. Here, he meets human bandits and discovers the white mage Moremiru hiding in a temple. If both undead leaders are defeated, Moremiru joins Konrad. If only one out of two are defeated, Moremiru returns in Scenario 9 only.

Scenario 6 - The city of Elensefar has already fallen, and the Orcs have made an alliance with the undead. After Konrad recaptures the city and defeats the undead, Delfador returns. With him is Kalenz, of the mysterious Northern Elves. Delfador tells Konrad of the Sceptre of Fire: how it is hidden in the lost caverns of Knalga, and how it will grant him kingship if he finds it. The party sets off on their quest for the Sceptre.

Scenario 7 - Konrad and his party are waylaid by Orcs at a crossroads. Elves come from the hills to warn of Orcish ambushes and Konrad fights his way through. However an Orc escapes to warn Asheviere of their plan to take the Sceptre. She sends her adopted daughter, the princess Li'sar, to stop them.

Scenario 8 - The party is challenged by Li'sar. When diplomacy fails, a battle ensues; after subduing Li'sar, Konrad spares her life. Li'sar is ungracious and tricks the party into traveling by the northern road.

Scenario 9 - The party is trapped along the north road and surrounded by undead. They must hold off the vast undead horde for two days. Moremirmu, the white mage rescued in scenario 5B, has heard of Li'sar's treachery and returns with some white mages to recsue Konrad and his party from the undead. (This only applies if only one undead leader in scenario 5B is defeated.) After the undead are vanquished, Moremirmu and his mages leave.

Scenario 10 - The party comes to Gryphon mountain. Realizing that gryphons might make useful scouts, they detour in an attempt to steal some gryphon eggs. But Asheviere's forces are also trying for the prize...

Scenario 11 - The party comes to the ford of Abez, which forms Wesnoth's northern border. To the north is the dwarven wilderness of Knalga. They must make haste to cross the river as the heavy snows of winter approach.

Delfador is telling the story of how the King was betrayed by his son at the battle at Abez when the discussion is interrupted by troops in the border fortresses. Pursuing them from the south are Li'sar and a troop of Royal Guards. Blocking the ford to the north are orcs, hostile to all humans. As Konrad's forces are in mid-river, they are set upon by sea serpents. After Konrad fights through he gains a respite as the serpents delay Li'sar.

Scenario 12 - Konrad's troops are exhausted and near mutiny, so Konrad decides to rest for a time. However, first they must defeat the native orcs...

Scenario 13 - They reach ancient Knalga, only to find its glory dimmed by strife and marauding bands of orcs. They must avoid the tentacled horror lurking in the lake, find the right entrance and fight their way into the kingdom under the mountains.

Scenario 14 - Now in the tunnels of Knalga, Konrad, Delfador, and Kalenz must elude or destroy lurking monsters to find the final retreat of the dwarves. Although dubious of the party's intent, the Dwarves eventually agree to help the party find the Sceptre of Fire.

Scenario 15 - The party enters the Dwarvish Caverns, now occupied by orcs. They encounter Lionel, a general who was sent on an earlier mission to retrieve the Sceptre. He is now undead and seeks revenge, but when he is returned to his grave he is grateful at being defeated by worthy foes instead of the orcs.

Scenario 16 - Li'sar has finally caught up with Konrad, and confronts him. As the two parties draw swords, they are ambushed by Orcs. Li'sar decides to join forces with Konrad until they reach the surface.

Scenario 17 - After a long search through unmapped caverns, the Sceptre of Fire is claimed (by either Konrad or Li'sar) and the party exits the caverns.

Scenario 18 - Now free of the caverns of Knalga, the party rests near the banks of the Arkan-thoria (or Longlier) river. Still surrounded by many enemies, Li'sar decides that this is not the time to attempt to kill Konrad. She decides to join them as they journey to Kalenz's homeland of the North Elves. To continue, the party must defeat the orcs to the north or the undead to the south.

Scenario 19A - If the party heads north, they meet even more orcs in the Snow Plains. If Konrad does not have the Sceptre, he can find and use a hidden flaming sword.

Scenario 19B - If the party heads south, they meet even more undead in the Swamp of Dread. The party must defeat 4 Death Knights and a Lich, yet discovers a bounty of 100 gold for each leader.

Scenario 20 - Konrad finally reaches the borders of the Elven Forest. However, a pursuing army draws nigh. Fortunately, an orcish horde is about to ambush the humans. The party must either evade or fight their way through both hostile armies to reach the Elven Council.

Scenario 21 - At the Elven Council much is made clear, yet much is still shrouded in mystery. The Elvish Lady Parandra, responsible for rescuing Konrad from certain death as an infant, and Kalenz agree that Li'sar should overthrow Ashievere to become the ruler of Wesnoth, while Delfador feels Konrad is better suited for the task. Parandra prevails when she hints to Delfador of a reason why Konrad is not suited to the throne. The elves tell Konrad to follow Li'sar on her mission to defeat Ashievere.

Scenario 22 - Li'sar and her party are delayed by Ashievere's border guard.

Scenario 23 - Delfador is about to tell Konrad his dark secret, when they are interrupted by the arrival of a clan of horsemen. Delfador invites the horsemen to join Li'sar in fighting Ashievere, but the clan scoffs at their weakness. Li'sar must first prove herself worthy by overcoming their challenge.

Scenario 24 - The party finally reaches the great city of Weldyn. Delfador finally tells Konrad the secret that he has been hiding - that he failed to keep the last royal heir alive seventeen years before. Konrad is not royal, but only a waif that Lady Parandra found! Li'sar confronts her mother, who refuses to abdicate in favor of the true wielder of the Scepter. An epic battle takes place.

Epilogue - If Ashievere dies, Li'sar takes the throne and lives happily ever after, marrying Konrad and bearing three children. Delfador serves as High Councilor, while Kalenz returns to his beloved home in the north.

Jeremywosborne: /* Heir to the Throne Storyline */

== Heir to the Throne Storyline ==

(NOTE: This storyline overview corresponds to the 1.2.1 stable version of Battle for Wesnoth.)

Introduction: In the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Garard II, king of Wesnoth, the kingdom was plunged into a bitter war with the Peoples of the North. The Northern host encamped at Galcadar, by the ford of Abez, and the king led his forces to meet them. Splitting his army in two, he led one half while his son, the crown prince Eldred, led the other. Eldred was a brave and courageous warrior, able to lead his soldiers well. Unfortunately for Garard, his son was also ambitious... and treacherous. In the heat of battle, Eldred's men turned on the king. And so, Garard was slain in battle that day, along with his brother and all his sons but Eldred. Garard's queen, Asheviere, looked on with glee, having come to watch the battle from a nearby hill. The rule of her son would surely satisfy her lust for power far better than her husband's had. In exchange for tribute, the Northern king happily made peace with Eldred, who proclaimed himself king and led his army back to Weldyn. But Garard's arch-mage, Delfador, had escaped the battle and, riding with haste, reached Weldyn first. He mustered a force of loyalists to fight Eldred and avenge the king's death. Eldred made war upon Delfador and his forces with his mother's advice ringing in his ears: 'Fight no one great or small except the old mage, whose head should be severed from his shoulders.' And Eldred did indeed meet Delfador face-to-face in battle that day. Sword clashed against staff, as the wise old mage fought the brash young warrior. In the end Delfador's men were defeated and routed, but Asheviere found her son's lifeless body, fixed to the ground by the great mage's staff. Asheviere herself then took command of the army and led it back to Weldyn. Knowing that the king's young nephews were next in line to the throne, she ordered them all killed, and declared herself Queen of Wesnoth. Soon after news of Asheviere's orders reached Delfador, he secretly entered the palace and stole away Konrad, the youngest of Garard's nephews, thereby saving him from death. Fleeing to the forests of the West, Delfador raised the child Konrad under the protection of the Elves, watching sadly as Asheviere's reign of terror over the land began...
