Rise of the Requian Empire
FoundingAfter the tyrannical dragons are imprisoned the coast was left in a economic depression as the hoards of stolen treasure had yet to be found or reclaimed. A lawyer named Leigh Danson rose to the occasion, proposing a plan to create trade routes between all the major settlements on the coast, spanning through kingdoms. Once the plan was completed the kingdoms were for the first time in history unified, and in fear that the depression would return decided to become a single body- the Requian Empire, with the first emperor being Leigh Danson.

"Kidnapping" The Prince
Life, CrimeAfter the King's assassination, the queen (Lilith) and the prince (Hew) were sent to a safe house in Seaview's People's District. Their position was compromised, however, and the two were placed in danger with Tempest's End needing to intervene. Lilith realized Hew wasn't safe under the government's protection and couldn't fight back against Castaway's rule while on the run; she entrusted Hew's protection to the adventuring party who saved them out of desperation. When Castaway learned of Hew's taking she framed it as a kidnapping and increased the bounties on the party's heads.

The Syndicate War
Military: WarOnce Sea's Appeal took control over the Requian Navy, they sent ships into restricted waters. The restricted waters were in reality the Pirate Syndicate's territory and this crossing of borders violated the peace treaty they made with the Requian Empire at the end of the Secret War during the Golden Age of Piracy. The War officially began once the Syndicate attacked the Merchant District of Seaview.

The Struggle of Seaview
Financial EventThe Continental Trade, controlled by the Golden Society of Seaview, was under strain during the Syndicate War. Ships began to cease their journeys and imports became scarce. It wasn't until Tempest's End destroyed the Golden Society that the trade fell apart altogether. Most nations of the Mortal Realm had entered an economic depression that had greatly changed several aspects of the average life- most importantly the normality of magic which had now become scarce with the lack of both education and resources that were obtained through the continental trade.

Shae's Wave
Religious eventAfter the Struggle of Seaview began, the Syndicate War had broken tension and entered full-blown combat. During this time Tempest's End and the settlement of Nameless had begun using their limited resources to expand their territory and take islands from the Pirate Syndicate. This eventually led to a battle in the pirate capital of Shipwreck where Clyde Cloudeyes (the Pirate Syndicate's Captain) agreed with Tempest's End to help silently invade Seaview and defeat Castaway. The final showdown between Castaway and Tempest's End proved Castaway to not be a true follower of Shae as her attempt to prove her piety with the goddess ended up with a tsunami that engulfed the city, harming no one but Castaway. With the return of Lilith Danson, temporary control of the coast was taken by Lilith, and Castaway was sent to Waerytomb Prison along with her accomplice Harper Starswollow.

The Dispersing of the Revenant Storm
Metaphysical / Paranormal eventThe source of the Eldritch Storms in the Requian Coast, the Revenant Storm, was approached by the navies of the coast led by Tempest's End. In the eye of the storm was its controller Strenia Imblwarf (a previous member of the adventuring party possessed by a madness and the spirits that make up the storm). After some time Strenia was freed from its control and the storm clouds broke apart and scattered across the Mortal Realm in smaller less destructive bursts.
