Post-Cataclysm

Pre-DOD3

Year	Event	Details
856	The Cataclysm happens. A huge city appears overnight on the Iberian Peninsula.	Looting and other crimes by refugees and rioters skyrocket. Sightings of strange creatures are reported. There is an increase in incidents of people being attacked.
857		A certain trading company is established.
858	The Byzantine Empire falls.	Oral tradition says that swarms of huge dragons flew in and reduced the empire's capital to ashes overnight.
862	The monarchies of the West, Middle and East Frankish Kingdoms fall one after another.	Riots begin spreading to other countries after Louis II of Middle Francia is murdered by a mob.
865	The concept of Midgard begins to form. Rumours of the Cathedral City begin to spread.	After the Cataclysm, and following the collapse of several nations, the European region becomes known as Midgard. People begin calling the city that appeared after the Cataclysm the "Cathedral City." Some settle in, and a local government is established.
867	The Pythagorean Institute is established.	Nobles and intellectuals who fled to the Cathedral City from their former kingdoms found the Pythagorean Institute, a research institute dedicated to the study of disasters, calamities and the rising occurence of abnormalities across the world. Refugees from the world over begin mass migrating to the Cathedral City in search of salvation.
868	The Chaldean Gate is built. The Ten Tragic Nights.	The Cathedral City is unable to accept any more refugees due to a severe food shortage. In order to restrict the influx of refugees, the Chaldean Gate is built over the course of three nights. A battle ensues between the refugees and the City Self-Defense Forces, which lasts for a further seven nights. (Ten Tragic Nights)
869		One after another, people arise from the general populace who can perform "miracles", such as superhuman destruction and the ability to detect water underground.
870		The Pythagorean Institute confirms the existence of "magic."
872		People who perform "miracles" establish a strict order and social hierarchy in the Cathedral City.
875		The Pythagorean Institute create a system for the registration and authorisation of people who perform miracles. The Pythagorean Institute thus begins to dictate social status. Miracle Performers, or simply Performers, bring order and social hierarchy to the Cathedral City.
878	The Chaldean Gate opens.	The Chaldean Gate is opened for the first time in ten years, and the city expands. A Performers' district is established, and the religions of the past begin to transform. Belief in the "Performers and Miracles of the Pythagorean Institute", or simply the "Church", begins to spread.
882	The Council of Chaldea takes place.	The first council between the Catholic Church, who held power even before the Cataclysm, and the Pythagorean Institute, is held. Together they establish a new organisation known as the Church in order to bring peace to the chaotic world. The Pythagorean Institute becomes a secret organisation under the direct command of the Church, and its name eventually disappears from the historical record. The Church makes the registration system of Performers (now known as Wizards) a lot more strict in order to discourage them from rebelling. At the same time, research into "sealing magic," which controls magical power, is actively conducted.
885	A Magic Surge Accident happens.	Due to a wizard's out of control magic, a third of the city vanishes. The Church announces that this was suppressed only due to their research into sealing magic. (In truth, a sealing magic experiment failed, resulting in the wizard's body enlarging until he was only a giant foot. The foot proceeded to trample the city's slums, killing 2000 people in a single night. The official announcement by the Church is as above.)
888	The Fourth Cathedral City Expansion Plan is underway.	Progress is made on expanding the city. The Church aims to further expand its territory, advocating for "eternal peace in Midgard through prayer and magic."
890	The Church Survey Team is established.	The Church Survey Team is established in order to recruit volunteers who will help the Church take control of the surrounding self-governing territories.
892		The Church Survey Team, armed with large-scale magical weapons approved by their attending wizards, goes on to conquer each self-governing territory around the Cathedral City. They begin to function as the Church's armed forces.
895		The power of the Church continues to expand to more territories.
904	The Church takes control of the entire Iberian Peninsula.	It becomes common practice for members of the Church Survey Team to stay in conquered areas after a successful expedition. They establish self-governing regions and become known as landed lords.
907	The Tang dynasty in East Asia falls.
910	The Magic Academy is created.	The Church actively pursues magical research. To facilitate this, Magic Academies are set up in various places.
912	Another Magic Surge Accident happens.	Another Magic Surge Accident occurred during the construction of a Magic Academy. However, the damage was contained using sealing magic and only resulted in the death of two people: the wizard whose magic caused the surge and the wizard who cast the sealing spell.
930		The Magic Academy unravels the fundamentals of magic. From then on, magic begins to spread among the populace, and becomes a commonly used technology.
938		In order to further expand and stabilise its power, the Church begins to form mutually beneficial relationships with landed lords by means of profit sharing.
951		Bribing powerful people within the Church becomes common practice for the landed lords. It is also common for the them to fight amongst themselves. The lands the lords govern become known as the "Land of Mountains" and the "Land of Forests."
~954	Gray, lord of the Land of Mountains, is born around this time.
960	The Song dynasty is founded in East Asia. Issues within the Church begin to surface.	For the first time, the director of the Magic Academy is chosen from among the landed lords. This reveals the corruption within the upper echelons of the Church, as the director in question is not familiar with magic at all. Wizards of the Magic Academy grow restless.
971	The White Revolt takes place.	Some young wizards become fiercely opposed to the continued election of landed lords as directors of the Magic Academy. They surround the Central Magic Academy in the Cathedral City and demand that the current director resigns, but they are suppressed overnight. (White Revolt)
~980	Rose, who will go on to become a singularity known as Zero, is born around this time.
985	Famine breaks out.	A large-scale famine breaks out. The food supply chain from the countryside into the city was severely disrupted for several years. As a result, it became commonplace for the local government and the upper echelons of the Church to trade money, weapons, women, and children to the landed lords in exchange for food.
986	The Blue Order is formed.	The poor, who are dissatisfied due to the food shortages, and the wizards, dissatisfied with the corruption within the Magic Academy, form an underground revolutionary group known as the "Blue Order."
990	Shahor, son of Gray and lord of the Land of Forests, is born around this time.	The Blue Order begins to gain traction. Many young wizards and landed lords who are dissatisfied with the Church support their cause. The Cathedral City's weaknesses are exposed; specifically their lack of military equipment and human resources due to years of food shortages and bribery.
991	The Blue Revolt takes place. The Cathedral City announces and begins working on a large-scale renovation of the city's waterways.	A massive revolt by the Blue Order breaks out in the Cathedral City (Blue Revolt). They occupy the Central Magic Academy with the aim of abolishing the power of the landed lords within the institution, and creating free and independent Magic Academy. However, the Blue Order is destroyed overnight by a large-scale sealing magic attack seen across the city. Eighty percent of the citizens living within two of the city's wards are used as catalysts for the sealing magic and die as a result. Meanwhile, the survivors go insane. Work begins to bury them alive.
993		Following the Blue Revolt, the number of wizard applicants approved by the Magic Academy decreases sharply. The local government and Church become more and more dependent on the military might of the landed lords. Independent magical research and original magical research funded by the landed lords becomes widespread. This leaves the Magic Academy and the Church in an uncertain position.
994		Finally, not a single Magic Academy director across all the Magic Academies is a lord. Although the Magic Academy found its independence, it also lost all support from landed lords, leading to its somewhat ironic decline. Independent magical research is ongoing. It is uncovering all the secret arts that were forbidden by the Magic Academy, and the balance of magical power in Europe grows unstable.
995	The Cathedral City becomes a ghost town.	An accident of unprecedented magnitude occurs at the Central Magic Academy in the Cathedral City. The specifics of the accident, which allegedly involved a chanting error during the casting witch's use of a secret art, are unknown. The dust from the resultant explosion was later described as a giant flower blotting out the night sky. The impact of the accident that engulfed the city was severe, with people vanishing from the city overnight, rendering it a ghost town. However, there was no major impact on the buildings and the like.
