20-130 韦诺年: 驯服狂野

在这个时代,韦诺 王国扩张并划定了边界,并在其宣称拥有主权的地区定居。 野蛮驯服是指在未定居的土地上定居,以及对北地的殖民化。 这个时代的结束标志着 Elensefar 城邦与韦诺国家之间的摩擦,这种摩擦将持续数百年。

21 YW

  • Founding of the Great Academy on Alduin.
  • Kalenz is relieved of command by the Ka'lian. He retires to Lintanir Forest with Cleodil. A faction of xenophobic elves begins to gather around Landar.

From this date all royal documents and public inscriptions are in New Writing. It spreads rapidly via the mercantile class. The older brush-hand writing continues to be used for magical purposes, scholarship, and in certain elevated literary forms.

50-93 YW

  • Elvish civil war (and The Legend of Wesmere) ends. Kalenz declared High Lord, begins reorganizing and militarizing Elvish society to fight the orcs. In late 93 YW he cedes control to a reconstituted Ka'lian and retires again to the Forest of Lintanir.

121 YW

  • Orcish civil war sputters to a halt. Raids on elves and humans resume. Period of uncontested human expansion ends, but the Wesnothian Army is more than equal to any of its opponents in battle.

  • Settlers from Carcyn cross the Great River to establish the first settlements north of it and east of Wesmere.

200-350 韦诺年: 黄金时代

韦诺的黄金时代是伟大国王的时代,也是王国和平与繁荣的时代。 七十五年前,兽人在韦诺和埃伦斯法的手下惨败,所以他们并没有造成太大的威胁,每当他们发动攻击时,他们很快就被击败了。 这使得军队规模缩小,这个时代的国王可以承担他们闻名的伟大公共工程。 当韦诺国王没有继承人去世时,这个时代就结束了,一个新的王朝开始了。

530-630 韦诺年: 恐惧时代

恐惧时代的名字取自时代末期的事件。从表面上看,最初的 77 年对于韦诺王国来说非常平静。然而,在这段时间里,发生了无法解释的魔法事件,尤其是在东方大陆。先前被驯服的土地逐渐被荒野占领,因为恐惧和偏执逐渐盖过了韦诺历史早期所展现的开拓精神和冒险精神。在这个时代的最后 10 年里,韦诺首当其冲地遭受了有史以来最强大的亡灵攻击,几乎被摧毁。到那个时代结束时,韦诺的大部分地区已经荒芜,韦尔丁内外的大部分伟大建筑都被夷为平地,韦诺的人口已经减少了一半。

正是在这个时代,混乱的北地某些地区第一次被置于任何一种治安之中。一小群人类和矮人,接受任何希望加入的任何种族的人,组成了“北方联盟”,其愿景是让北地能够安全居住。随着时间的推移,这个联盟缓慢而稳定地发展壮大。到时代结束时,联盟成功地使包括克纳尔加及周边地区在内的一些小地区稳定繁荣,因此,许多人从韦诺大部成为的荒地撤离并北上——耗尽了韦诺的人口更进一步。

  • 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. Northern Rebirth ends.

550 YW

  • Lord Hamel of Knalga sends an expedition to Kal Kartha to determine the fate of the Hammer of Thursagan (The Hammer of Thursagan takes place in late 550 YW to early 551 YW.).

628-673 韦诺年: 白银时代

白银时代,或者说韦诺王国的恢复,基本上与 Konrad II 的其他漫长而成功的统治时期相吻合。在此期间,韦诺从 Mal-Ravanal 的不死族攻击造成的破坏中基本恢复了过来。然而,它永远不会完全恢复它在权力鼎盛时期的威严。

在韦诺以北的第二波殖民浪潮的帮助下,北地变得更加文明和稳定。尽管远不及韦诺在其黄金时代的繁荣,北地发展了规模相当大的城镇和繁荣的贸易网络​​——虽然有些危险——贸易网络。

四大强权很快就统治了北地的大部分地区。首先是矮人,他们控制着大部分山脉和大量的地下隧道和洞穴。在东方,笼罩在神秘之中,是精灵森林,任何非精灵血统的人都无法进入。其余的景观由兽人部落或独立的人类伯爵领主。随着对土地的争夺愈演愈烈,人类与兽人部队之间的战争愈演愈烈。

628-635 YW

  • Konrad II begins his attempt to rebuild Wesnoth.

673 YW

经过数十年的斗争,黑眼卡伦成为自公元 20 年大酋长布鲁巴被暗杀以来第一位将所有不同的争吵不休的兽人部落团结在他的旗帜下的军阀。在他作为君主的众多成就中,他最著名的是创建了大议会。

卡伦是一个有远见的人,他知道在他死后,兽人部落将再次陷入彼此之间的战斗,而他几乎无能为力地阻止这种情况以及随之而来的威诺斯人和精灵的危险。

因此,卡伦从所有不同部落中选出了六个最清醒和最聪明的兽人,从而创建了大议会。大议会的职责是远离半兽人之间的任何部落或领土争吵,但始终留在那里为任何前来寻求它的人提供建议。为了在紧急情况下保护兽人种族,他赋予他们召唤大部落的力量。规定每个兽人,无论他来自哪个部落,都必须服从大部落的召唤,全心全意地追随大议会任命的大部落领袖。

826 YW

  • Rahul I (Lord Protector 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 in mysterious circumstances.

829 YW

  • Frustrated by the fallout of Karun's supposed assassination, Rahul I resigns, and Howgarth III takes his place as Lord Protector.

842 YW

  • Famine in the Northlands. Famine led humans to colonize some orcish lands and push orcs into desolated hill country. The few orcish tribes who had remained part of the Alliance, feeling the pressure, either left Alliance territory or revolted and were destroyed.
  • Retaliating, the orcs systematically slaughtered human colonies and villages on their lands. Then, Earl Lanbec'h — the most powerful human warlord of the North — determined to abolish the orcish menace raised an army and conferred leadership of it to his son-in-law Baron Alber.
  • 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; Son of the Black Eye begins.

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.
  • After 843: Portions of Kapou'e's army act as mercenaries in foreign struggles with other races which keeps them from attacking their nearest neighbors.

852 YW

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. Son of the Black Eye ends.

大堕落之后

在未来某个未知的时间点,一场无法形容的大灾变烧焦了大地的表面。韦诺魔术师试图在天空中升起第三个太阳,但他们失败了,“太阳”从 Weldyn 上落下。首都已不复存在。国王和他的家人都死了,没有继承人。当地领导人撕毁了韦诺。夜晚变得更长,白天更热。邪恶生物出现。森林死去,山丘变成岩石荒地,田野变成荒芜的沙漠。在世界末日中,盟友们互相敌对,朋友们为剩余的资源而战。伟大的国家被摧毁,大量的人死亡。仍然在混乱中,不知何故,一小群人幸存下来,躲在隐蔽的地方。在这个后世界末日的世界中,生存是每天的斗争,因为少数剩余的部落在堕落帝国的废墟中勉强生存。英勇的精灵、游牧的难民人类、野蛮的兽人部落和黑暗的死灵法师都在这个新韦诺的无情的双太阳 Sela 和 Naia 下创造了新的生活。
