    The Beginning of Recorded Time
    Founding

    ~ØBCE-499CE

    End of the Before Civilized Era, which saw many prehistoric wars. Literacy became more prevalent, especially in Salamandea. Eventually, enough people could read in all three civilizations, that the value of written history began to be appreciated.

    The Early Civilized Era. The beginning of recorded history. Many wars, national secessions, and political reorganizations. Temporal measurement is codified and agreed on. Lizardtongue adopts the Celtic and ɛɭⱱɛɳ alphabets, superceding the long-standing ancient Salamandic writing system (fliasco decepcion graffiato, or "simple bottle scratching") of Middle Salamandic (Olde Lizardtongue). Early Salamandic is completely lost.

    The early Civilized Era Lizardfolk occupied the Feverlands, and ALL shores of the Boiling Bay, from whence they arose some 165,000 years before (5 Tertiochia ago, or 4th Tertioch BCE). ɛɭⱱɛɳȁ were secluded to the Northern corner of what would become Attractae, around the future location of
    Kaya Eth. Celtia consisted of the Southwestern shore of Boiling Bay at the entrance from the Southern Ocean.

    Population Migration / Travel

    500-1,000CE

    The Expansion of Celtia. This was a precurser to The Great Diaspora, as the burgeoning Celtic population spread Westward across Greater Theshine, creating some nations survive to this day (e.g. Cadurci, Teutonii, Mattiacii). Celtic technology improves with better mining and smelting of indigenous metals; geometry, windmills, and sophisticated mediaeval weaponry begins to be developed. Writing exists and is recorded and stored on papyrus-style vegetal scrolls. This could be characterized as 'Late Iron Age' (GURPS TL2).

    ɛɭⱱɛɳȁ during this time had become slightly more advanced, developing metal alloys, complex mathematics, and sophisticated animal training for riding and draughting (GURPS TL3).

    Salamandea is even more advanced, especially with military developments, such as black-powder muskets; cannon; sailing warships; dress smallsword, fencing saber, rapier, cavalry saber (GURPS TL4). The collection of martial technology may have been a precursor to future wars and incursions. The printing press is also successfully created and becomes somewhat widespread, leading to the complete disuse of the fliasco decepcion graffiato, ("simple bottle scratching") of Middle Salamandic (Olde Lizardtongue), and the adoption of parts of the Celtic and ɛɭⱱɛɳ alphabets. Early Salamandic was now completely lost, with only historical use of Middle Salamandic and the graffiato.

    Start of the ɛɭⱱɛɳ Monarchy
    Political event

    Attractae becomes a vicereinnedom, with Pattɛrsɔɳae Corriggan as its first Vicerienne. Note the semi-Celtic style name. Part of the creation of the monarchy, besides the internal political power struggle between affluent families, was a resistance to the mixing of Celtic and ɛɭⱱɛɳ cultures.
