Late History: Irdya Before the Fall

Around 1046 YW, many events which would later lead to the consolidation of Wesnoth as the dominant Empire on the Great Continent take place.

• Dantair of Wesnoth demands the immediate creation of Gaia, the third sun.

1799 YW (middle)

• The magi's attempt to lift the third sun fails, causing the third sun to fall and crash into the Great Continent at some distance from Weldyn.
• A massive cataclysm ensues, devastating the entirety of Irdya. All shorelines are completely reshaped, large volcanic eruptions occur, and aftershocks in the form of great earthquakes continue to occur over the course of years. Buildings are completely or partially destroyed by the natural disasters. The Old Continent begins to sink.
• Dantair of Wesnoth is brutally murdered by panicked citizens.
• Social order falls apart in all civilizations of Irdya.
• Pollution and debris from the fallen sun and volcanic activity cause cyclic periods of absolute darkness over the whole world, making it impossible to keep accurate track of time using astronomical means for over two centuries. Poisonous air decimates a large part of the surviving population and vegetation. The increased temperatures result in massive floods all over the land.
• Races fight each other and among themselves for the scarce basic resources left by the disasters.

Approximately 100 years after the Fall

• Most forests have dried up and can no longer sustain the Elvish civilization. Elves from the forests of the Great Continent abandon their homes and seek refuge in Wesmere, reported to remain mysteriously intact.
• Elynia and Argan lead the elves out of Lintanir Forest.
• Elves seeking shelter in Wesmere are ambushed, and killed or sacrificed to Zhangor.
• The War of Wesmere begins. After a year, the elves from Aethenwood and Lintanir manage to force the Wesmere locals to retreat into the capital. Eventually, Elynia and Argan succeed in their efforts to lead an invasion to confront and take down Zhangor himself.
• Zhangor reveals his true appearance and identity as a Demon Lord hailing from Inferno.
• Elynia and Argan combine their powers of Light and Darkness to summon the Union for the first time.
• Zhangor is vanquished, and the remains of his body banished from Irdya. Wesmere Forest is almost completely destroyed in the process, causing high casualties on both bands.
• The Ka'lian is deemed an instrument of Zhangor's corruption and abolished; its members are executed. Warriors and priests previously loyal to the Demon Lord meet the same fate, except for the priestess Anlindë, who is spared by Lord Telchior of Thelien.
• Differences with respect to the events in Wesmere result in two major groups parting ways.
  • Lord Quetor'el of Aethenwood leads his people south.
  • Lord Telchior of Thelien leads his people east following Anlindë's instructions.
• Elynia and Argan enter and descend into the Heart Mountains with a small group of followers.
• Argan is trapped underground. After a long time trying to locate him through various means, Elynia abandons any hope of finding him, and enters a form of magical stasis.

Approximately 115 years after the Fall

• Lord Quetor'el dies.

Approximately 120 years after the Fall

• Telchior's band settles in a newly found valley at some distance northeast from Lintanir. They name it the Valley of Elynia.

Centuries after the Fall

• Quetor'el's band adapts to life on the desert. Over time, the lore of their ancestors begins to be forgotten. Numerous disastrous battles with the barbarians result in the deaths of many of their druids, and old tablets and scrolls are lost, damaged, ciphered, or written in languages no-one understands anymore. A large amount of the ancient knowledge relearned by younger generations is either inaccurate or false. Focused on survival instead of nature and the research of magic, the desert elves gradually lose connection with the faerie realm.
• Various elvish settlements are established in the Great Southern Desert, and in time, lost to invaders. The settlement of the Quenoth elves is ultimately the last to fall.
