The fall of Menes 0 to 61 AWS#

After the fall of Menes in 0 AWS, six hundred people of four peoples had fled to the city, led by Erzabet Vharmas. They were 272 humans, 133 half-elves, 123 halflings and 72 quicklings. By 61 AWS the city had more than tripled, to 2,042. In 33 AWS House Cedwick, led by Irat Cedwick, became the first family in the city to number forty, the first of its great houses. Three more grew as large in the years that followed. In 48 AWS Sneme Cedwick, the head of House Cedwick, began a great hall for the house, Cedwick Tower. Eleven years later a fire began in Sweclo Wildwater’s home and spread to the homes of 181 other families, burning their stores and killing twenty-six people. The great houses formed two factions in these years, the largest the Cedwick faction under Naske Cedwick. In these years the city took in nearly four hundred and fifty people who had fled the ruins of the Inner City. The first gnomes who had escaped bondage in Jewall’s mines came to the city in these years.

Cedwick Tower 62 to 113 AWS#

In 62 AWS a party of seventy people from thirty-three houses left the city to found Blithe. In 78 AWS the city finished Cedwick Tower, which Sneme Cedwick had begun in 48 AWS. Work on it stopped for two years in all. The same year a feud broke out between House Cedwick and House Habdale because Ibesh Habdale killed Prin Cedwick. It was the city’s first feud. Three more broke out in those years. Schidas Oakhorn became the humans’ leader and led them for thirty-seven years. Hunger drove the city’s people to riot twice. The largest, in 113 AWS, was led by Nonoch Salstead, and twelve rioters were killed in all. Famine came twice in the same years and starved nearly three hundred people, 161 of them in 113 AWS. In these years the city took in over a hundred people who had fled the ruins of the Inner City.

The factions 114 to 330 AWS#

Four factions formed among the great houses in these years. The largest was the Stoneeyes faction of House Stoneeyes, House Summerstrike and one other great house, under Onos Stoneeyes. Famine came seven times in the same years and starved a thousand people, 223 of them in 122 AWS. In 124 AWS more of House Reddagger came from the Inner City, and with them the feud their house had fought with House Weakbuster there for fourteen years. It broke out in the city that year. Eight more broke out over these years. In 130 AWS Vere Greybrook, who led the humans, set the city to building stone walls, the Greybrook Wall. It took thirty-nine years, and she did not live to see it finished in 169 AWS. Work on it stopped for four years in all. Too poor to build in stone, the city raised timber homes in place of the ninety-seven the fire of 172 AWS had burned. In 216 AWS Eder Salstead, a quickling baker, proclaimed that the Spark had come back in a new avatar, and all the quicklings’ great houses believed her. The city rebuilt in timber the 148 homes the fires of 211 and 218 AWS had burned, too poor to build in stone. In 226 AWS Eder Salstead died, and the city prayed to her as a herald, at the Shrine of Herald Eder, on the south side of the city. In 323 AWS a party of seventy people from twenty-seven houses left the city to found Drumund. Two years later Dotha Frostfeather struck a vein of silver, the Lucky Strike. Word went out, and in six years 959 people came for the silver, and the city had grown by over two fifths. In these years the city took in over sixty people who had fled the ruins of the Inner City. The humans’ share of the city rose from over half to over two thirds.

The humans gain ground 331 to 373 AWS#

By 341 AWS the humans, under Erac Barecrusher, made up three quarters of the city’s people. Too poor to build in stone, the city raised timber homes in place of the 145 the fire of 333 AWS had burned. In 347 AWS a feud broke out between House Darkflare and House Barecrusher after Pheta Darkflare robbed Knisme Barecrusher. Five years later the Lucky Strike, struck in 325 AWS, gave out. Two fifths of the houses that had come for it left the city that year. The next year Epon Lonestride, a devout human baker, proclaimed that the Ending walked the world again in a new avatar. Her own house, House Darkflare, House Oakhorn and House Danexford believed her. Eight great houses called it a cult. In 359 AWS the city banished Epon Lonestride for what its deniers called a cult. By 362 AWS grain from Gilden fed the city in lean years. In 362 AWS Sutesh Barecrusher killed Rytaph Darkflare. The city exiled the whole house, all 76 of its members, because it blamed the house for the killing. It had banished Erac Barecrusher four years before. Nine years later another feud broke out between House Summerstrike and House Stoneeyes. That year hunger turned to revolt. Ilick Boldwound led over three hundred of the hungry against the rationing, which the city no longer trusted, and overthrew it. Ten of them died in it.

The fall of Hosu Oakhorn 374 to 523 AWS#

After the famine of 373 AWS starved 292 people, the city’s other peoples turned against the humans, who by then made up three quarters of the city. Hostility grew between the humans and each of them. Resentment of the humans would flare five more times, the last in 482 AWS. In 374 AWS the hungry rose in revolt. Tuspre Danexford led over three hundred of the hungry against Hosu Oakhorn, the humans’ leader, who had fared better than they had. Seven of them died in it. They threw her down, and she never led the humans again. In 421 AWS the Seventy-Year Plague broke out in the city and killed 424 people. Seven years later the dead of the Seventy-Year Plague got up out of Coldditch, the pits where the city had buried them. Nearly two hundred of them walked into the city remembering nothing, not even their own names, and the city took forty of them in as House Hollowfoot. Eleven years later Arid Greybrook, the head of House Greybrook, began a great hall for the house, Greybrook Court. It took fifty-five years, and he did not live to see it finished in 494 AWS. Work on it stopped for five years in all. In 441 AWS the Seventy-Year Plague came back and killed 246 people. In 461 AWS the Seventy-Year Plague came back and killed 195 people. The city was down to 1,078 in 466 AWS before it grew back to nearly twenty-three hundred. In 481 AWS the Seventy-Year Plague came back and killed 112 people. In 510 AWS Lur Lonehand struck a vein of silver, the Lucky Seam. Word of the strike spread, and in thirteen years 708 people came for the silver, and the city had nearly doubled.

The elves leave 524 to 577 AWS#

In 524 AWS 164 elves split off under Synala Greydagger and left a city grown too crowded for them. Two years later the city banished the elves’ own leader, Mati Blackfeet, because it blamed the elves for the raid the outlaw Mowa Wintercrag led. A year later the Lucky Seam, struck in 510 AWS, gave out. Nearly half of the houses that had come for it left the city that year. Two years later Hichi Whitecrest killed Ibaehal Iospliolath. Because it blamed the humans for the killing, the city banished the humans’ own leader, Shegryd Tallsurge, who had led them for eleven years. Nine years later more of House Moswood came from Drumund, and with them the feud their house had fought with House Stoneeyes there for forty-four years. It broke out in the city that year. It was the first in nearly a hundred and seventy years. The next year the summer failed. The sun hung dim behind a dry fog, snow fell in the warm months, and the harvest fell by nearly two fifths. A lean year followed, and thirty-three people starved. The year after brought another short harvest, and twenty-eight more starved. In 548 AWS the summer failed again, and the harvest fell by over two fifths. The parched orchards followed, and 251 people starved. The hunger lasted into the next year and starved nineteen more.

Hatred of the humans 578 to 658 AWS#

After the long summers of 577 AWS starved 142 people, four of the city’s peoples turned against the humans, who by then made up over two thirds of the city. Hostility grew between the humans and each of them. Resentment of the humans would flare again in 579 AWS. In 578 AWS Phare Etunfield killed Inthe Tallsurge. Because it blamed the quicklings for the killing, the city banished the quicklings’ own leader, Rosnes Stoneeyes, who had led them for five years, along with the killer. In 609 AWS the city banished the elves’ own leader, Hodisk Redrunner, who had led them for twenty-six years, because it blamed the elves for the raid Synala Greydagger led. The city rebuilt in timber the fifty-six homes the fire of 646 AWS had burned, too poor to build in stone.

The year without summer 659 to 714 AWS#

In 659 AWS the summer never came. A dry fog dimmed the sun, frost took the fields in the warm months, and the harvest fell by over half. The time of mud followed, and 463 people starved. The next harvest was short too, and fifty more starved. When the time of mud of 659 AWS had starved 463 people, the city’s other peoples turned on the humans, who by then made up nearly three quarters of the city. Hostility grew between the humans and each of them. Resentment of the humans would flare twice more, the last time in 714 AWS. In 709 AWS a feud broke out between House Lonestride and House Mugdale because Cosha Lonestride killed Roglu Mugdale. It was the first in over a hundred and seventy years.

The Natthorpe schism 715 to 757 AWS#

In 715 AWS Rise Natthorpe, a human monk, proclaimed that the Turning Wheel had made itself an avatar again. Her own house and five others believed her. Seven great houses called it heresy. The same year House Bronzehill and House Natthorpe fell into a feud over that claim. Thirty-four more broke out in those years. In 717 AWS Asprack Senmore killed Ryche Tekshaw. Because it blamed House Senmore for the killing, the city banished the killer along with Sala Senmore, the head of the house. In 726 AWS a dry fog veiled the sun, and the summer never came. Frost blackened the fields, and the harvest fell by nearly three fifths. Famine followed, and sixty-four people starved. The year after brought another short harvest, and six more starved. In 741 AWS the humans lost their hold on the city as their share of it fell to nearly two thirds. The city shrank to 1,380 in 741 AWS and ended these years at over twenty-five hundred. In 743 AWS Hol Nynorley struck a vein of silver, the Nynorley Lode. Word went out, and in eleven years 802 people came for the silver, and the city had nearly doubled. Eight years later Imyl Darkflare, the head of House Darkflare, began a great hall for the house, Darkflare Tower.

After the silver 758 to 828 AWS#

In 758 AWS the Nynorley Lode, struck in 743 AWS, gave out. Over half of the houses that had come for it left the city that year. That year a feud broke out between House Whitecrest and House Goldenbasher over Rise Natthorpe’s claim. Four more broke out in these years. In 762 AWS Rise Natthorpe died, and the schism over her claim ended with her. In 780 AWS the city blamed the halflings for the raid the outlaw Uge Linginburn led and banished their own leader, Hutu Mightydagger, who had led them for twenty-six years. In 810 AWS the city finished Darkflare Tower, which Imyl Darkflare had begun in 751 AWS. Work on it stopped for nine years in all. Eleven years later the city banished the elves’ own leader, Odas Hollowfoot, who had led them for 111 years, because it blamed the elves for the raid Snimim Milaswen led. The same year Laher Shrunwick killed Kural Nynorley. Because it blamed the humans for the killing, the city banished the humans’ own leader, Squam Peslow, who had led them for two years, along with the killer.

The expulsion of the elves 829 to 894 AWS#

In 829 AWS the city expelled all 190 of its elves, because it blamed the elves for the raid Mano Tosasward led. It had banished Odas Hollowfoot eight years before. In 855 AWS Ahen Whitecrest killed Eleph Mugdale. The city blamed House Whitecrest for the killing and banished the killer along with Ned Whitecrest, the head of the house. Three years later Nabe Goldenbasher found a spring sacred to the Turning Wheel, the Spring of Balance. Pilgrims came to it, and in fifteen years 425 people came to stay, and the city had grown by two fifths. In 887 AWS House Ruggedcrag and House Natthorpe fell into a feud after Vecko Ruggedcrag killed Bewat Natthorpe. Two more broke out in those years. Also in 887 AWS Vecko Ruggedcrag killed Bewat Natthorpe. The city banished the killer along with Trete Ruggedcrag, the head of House Ruggedcrag, because it blamed the house for the killing. The humans’ share of the city rose from over three fifths to nearly three quarters.

The end of House Lonestride 895 to 939 AWS#

In 895 AWS House Lonestride, once 91 strong, died out with Ydyc Lonestride. After the famine of 895 AWS starved 439 people, four of the city’s peoples turned against the humans, who by then made up over two thirds of the city. Hostility grew between the humans and the gnomes, the half-elves and the half-orcs, and unease with the elves. Resentment of the humans would flare twice more, the last time in 934 AWS. In 898 AWS the city banished the elves’ own leader, Lynalet Blackfeet, who had led them for five years, because it blamed the elves for the raid the outlaw Mati Blackfeet led. Too poor to build in stone, the city raised timber homes in place of the ninety-four the fire of 902 AWS had burned. In 917 AWS the pilgrims stopped coming to the Spring of Balance, found in 858 AWS. Half of the houses that had come for it left the city that year.

The summer that never came 940 to 1173 AWS#

Famine, plague, raiders and fire killed nearly two thousand people in these years, 350 of them in the sweltering fever of 940 AWS. Once the sweltering fever had passed, the humans blamed the elves for the deaths, and the two peoples became open enemies. In 959 AWS a party of 140 people from thirty-seven houses left the city to found Port Carvi. Over the next 202 years two more parties left, to found Ridleah and Crecia Minuteman Post. In 971 AWS Kega Whitecrest, who led the humans, set the city to building the Spark’s House. It took twenty-nine years, and she did not live to see it finished in 1000 AWS. In 1038 AWS a feud broke out between House Lonewatcher and House Elderhollow because Fesi Lonewatcher killed Rad Elderhollow. It was the first in over a hundred and fifty years. Two more broke out in the same years. The humans’ share of the city had fallen to nearly three fifths by the end of 810 AWS. In 1071 AWS, under Knape Mugdale, they were three quarters of the city again. In 1115 AWS Egem Mugdale, the head of House Mugdale, began a great hall for the house, Mugdale Court. It took forty-seven years, and she did not live to see it finished in 1162 AWS. A great fire in 1137 AWS burned over a third of the work done on it. The city rebuilt in timber the thirty-six homes the fire of 1137 AWS had burned, too poor to build in stone. In 1165 AWS the summer failed. The sun hung dim behind a dry fog, snow fell in the warm months, and the harvest fell by nearly two fifths. A lean year followed, and five people starved. The hunger lasted into the next year and starved twenty-five more. Crecia Minuteman Post sent grain as the year ended. Gnomes who had escaped bondage in Jewall’s mines kept coming, forty more in these years, and by 1174 AWS the city held over a hundred and thirty gnomes.

Collapse and recovery 1174 to 1424 AWS#

In 1174 AWS the summers of chaff left the city nearly a third short of food and starved 127 people. The city’s stores had run empty and its rulers had lost the people’s trust, and in 1175 AWS the city collapsed because of the summers of chaff. Two years later the troubles ended, by which time the city had fallen from over fifteen hundred to 830. The city had learned to keep granaries against lean years. By 1190 AWS Crecia Minuteman Post bought the city’s spare grain in lean years. In 1214 AWS Tidrinth Mugdale, who led the humans, set the city to building a temple to the Turning Wheel, the Mugdale Temple. It took forty-two years, and she did not live to see it finished in 1256 AWS. In 1216 AWS House Elunworth and House Lonewatcher fell into a feud after Yrosk Lonewatcher killed Rame Elunworth. It was the first in forty-nine years. Another broke out between House Goldencoat and House Bronzehill in 1297 AWS. In 1325 AWS Lulli Sesworth killed Ifun Elunworth. The city banished the half-elves’ own leader, Noifalas Munotwick, along with the killer, because it blamed the half-elves for the killing. Too poor to build in stone, the city raised timber homes in place of the thirty-five the fire of 1330 AWS had burned. In 1386 AWS Oden Elunworth found a relic of the Spark, the Hand of Mercy. Pilgrims came to it, and in thirteen years 383 people came to stay, and the city had grown by over two fifths. Gnomes who had escaped bondage in Jewall’s mines kept coming, forty more in these years, and by 1425 AWS the city held over a hundred and seventy gnomes.

The year of the shared dream 1425 to 1512 AWS#

In 1425 AWS the city had grown too crowded for the elves, and 293 of them split off under Piru Elunworth and left the city, over a tenth of the city. Two years later the pilgrims stopped coming to the Hand of Mercy, found in 1386 AWS. Two fifths of the houses that had come for it left the city that year. Three years later the city banished the humans’ own leader, Deta Mugdale, because it blamed the humans for the raid the outlaw Here Elunworth led. Six years later more of House Goldencoat came from Drumund, and with them the feud their house had fought with House Ruggedblood there for sixty-one years. It broke out in the city that year. It was the first in nearly a hundred and fifty years. By the end of 1438 AWS the city had fallen to 1,588, though it grew back to over two thousand. In 1441 AWS the whole city dreamed one dream, night after night, of a garden where everything grew, and no one could say why. In the year that followed sixty children were conceived in the city, where thirty-two had been the year before. That year another feud broke out between House Whitecrest and House Mugdale. In 1498 AWS Lynuxei Synadoryn, who had left the city with Piru Elunworth, came back at the head of raiders and killed twelve people.

In 1512 AWS the city held 2,080 people: 1,664 humans, 183 gnomes, 102 halflings, 74 elves, 49 half-elves and 8 dwarves. No quicklings were left. Cyte Deepspine led the humans. The largest house in the city was House Deepspine, 152 strong. Its great works still stood: Cedwick Tower, the Greybrook Wall, Greybrook Court, Darkflare Tower, the Spark’s House, Mugdale Court and the Mugdale Temple. Its food was rationed.

Maelo. Six peoples founded the town in 550 AWS, most of them from Drumund. By 1512 AWS, after two exoduses, famines and plagues, it held 577 people, over two thirds of them humans, and two of its founding peoples were gone.
