Balance creates the World of Mortals, creating the only space that is not chaos. This draws the attention of Chaos. To keep the new world from being consumed by the chaos again, Balance separates the chaos into four parts, destruction, water, earth, and air, casting them to the side, creating the Elemental Chaos, the Destruction Chaos, Air Chaos, Water Chaos, and Earth Chaos, in the process creating a system for them to create stuff with. To create morality, she casts aside 16 realms of pure conceptual morality. These would later become the 16 Afterlives.
Balance creates the method of creating Divine Decrees. She does this because she foresees needs for new universal laws.
Chaos attacks and destroys a large chunk of the World of Mortals. This alerts Humanity, Sul and Balance to the existence of Chaos. The attacks continue throughout the Universal War.
Kami reaches puberty and creates Nihonan as a refuge against the fighting, seeing it as pointless and vowing never to fight without reason.
Kami creates the Halfling race in order to follow his 3 tenets of revenge, which he had solidified in his Scriptures of Revenge. This was relatively quick because he copied Sul's work in creating humans.
The God Killer is invented, and immediately destroyed by Balance, who feared the potential of it, banning the creation or research of anything to harm gods.
Geltham reaches puberty and immediately takes the ritual. He runs away from Balance, realizing the chaotic nature of his domain and that Balance would squash it, but that Chaos would fail to give it structure. He decides to be peaceful for now.
Balance lifts the ban on the creation of God Killers and manufacturing starts up again.
Chaos starts hunting Aasimars, hating the construction of Duk, believing that no son of theirs would create something. Many Aasimars attempt to marry into human bloodlines to preserve themselves.
Geltham returns to the World of Mortals along with his son, Lod. Lod starts creating a set of laws and the Gnomes to carry it out.
Mecin creates Dragonborn to be healers, but they quickly get out of hand, diversifying completely, and many become loners, estranging themselves from the society they were supposed to heal.
Over this year, Creator Dragons gradually invent many different species of trees. Each one is either chosen or customized for the area the Creator Dragon cares for, either providing nutrients, shelter, or shade. A large area of Creator Dragons adopt trees into their areas, sometimes sparking conflicts between two Creator Dragons. Some trees have thick and wide canopies, blocking light and providing shade for the creatures and plants that live beneath them. Some have low hanging branches to grant protection to creatures that dig fend near the bases. Some trees have very large trunks and branches, providing lots of homes for airborne creatures. Some trees are designed simply to keep soil in place. Most are flammable, some explicitly to catch fire, either to keep populations in check, or to keep the soil fertile.
Humans create an adult god, using decades of research, and name it Hominid. Balance and Sul find out, and attacks the facility where it was made, banning research into gods and destroys most of the creators. Balance, wishing not to give Hominid much power, forces the domain of perversion onto him.
The twins Eater and Gae are born to Duk and Sul. They are placed in the care of the royalty in the Forgotten Kingdom.
Golenna reaches puberty. She disappears immediately, although some witnesses claim she said "I see the Breaks" before she disappeared. The next time she was seen was by one of her followers who saw her in the light of dawn.
Eater creates wolves as an ideal predator.
Balance and Chaos die under strange conditions. The Universal War stops, with Fex and Geltham as the only remaining combatants with souls who were fighting for Chaos and quickly making peace with Sul and Heisei. Geltham starts to explore the world in disguise, learning about the new facets of magic that sprung up during the Universal War. Fex recedes into the fiery area of the Destruction Chaos. A recently discharged God Killer is found on a nearby mountain. God Killers are hunted down and banned by most gods, although a few are kept intact.
With the Universal War over, the lands around the The Forgotten Continent are less dangerous, letting people migrate to them. Throughout this time all non-Humans who lived in the Forgotten Kingdom leave the kingdom. If they don't leave, the Humans grow paranoid about completely losing them, and mob many of the non-Humans, creating more fear and forcing more of them out, creating more panic. Dwarves and Gnomes find a bond over the intent of their creation, heading west to the continent now known as Wintsuucidon, then known as the Westlands. Dragonborns migrate primarily east. No name from the time remains for the land they traveled to, and no true name for it exists, although it is commonly called Belahir. Some Humans also create colonies for the Forgotten Kingdom.
Ruler is born and entrusted to the care of the royalty of the Forgotten Kingdom. He is raised, seeing the problems in the wider world, and decides that the problem is that there is not enough central power.
Now unemployed due to the end of the Universal War, many former members of the army use their military prowess to form bands of mercenaries. The non-Human races are the first to be fired, the smaller races, deemed less combat worthy, like Gnomes and Dwarves get fired first, with Dragonborn fired last. Aasimar are least likely to be fired, and many of them stay longer than some Humans, seen by some as either a variant of Humanity or better than it.
Nomefre is settled on the Southern coast of modern-day Sulwint. They immediately declare independence from the Forgotten Kingdom.
The Empire of Belahir is founded, with Hickol as the first city and capital, and Belahir as the first Emperor of Belahir, and Jollan as the first Prince of Belahir. Belahir claims the continent for the empire, and names it Belahir.
Elves create a gate into the World of Mortals. They cross into a part of Belahir that is uninhabited but claimed by Belahir, angering them.
Belahir attacks the elvish cities made on Belahir, seeing them as an attack on the kingdom, as they had claimed the land. This destroys many of the cities, but the Elves soon counterattack and drive the armies back to the mountain ranges, where they get stopped. After which, Belahir bombards the Elves with summoned creatures.
Homin creates the Perversions of Ruler, naming them Faller and Vampiron. This also creates the races of Vampires and Night Hags, and creation of the Shadowfell.
Belahir, cursed with a drought that they have no way to remove, summons a demon to try and remove the curse. The demon is ordered to "remove the curse of the drought". Immediately, the demon sees only one way to remove the curse, which is to break the land, and carves the Strait of Belahir through the continent of Belahir in a single instant, breaking the force barrier at the end of the world which instantly regrows.
Belahir summons a more powerful demon prince and tells it to "destroy the elven kingdoms". The demon prince goes to the battlefield and curses the land just to the north of the mountains. Instantly, the ground turns to lava and volcanoes start rising. This creates the Lava Barren, and the volcanoes spew ash. The ash gets caught in some breezes and floats North, covering the elven kingdoms and creating the Ashland. The demon prince is unsummoned after he tries to escape the bonds of the summoning. Many Elves escape through naturally occurring portals to the Shadowfell, taking with them High Centaurs and they push the Night Hags out, replacing them and getting corrupted into dark Elves and Shadow Centaurs over the next century.
The elven kingdoms learn of the fate of the northern elven kingdoms, all previous messengers getting killed by the curse, and as a way to make an official organization to make peace with Belahir, the remaining elven kingdoms on the new continent of South Belahir join together to create the kingdom of Suthphor, although they truly are relatively independent with one overarching royal family. Suthphor offers their princess's hand in marriage to solidify the treaty.
The part of Belahir on South Belahir scrambles to contact the Hickol on North Belahir, but the kingdom has no navy, so cannot. They then scramble to find a suitable new representative, and eventually the army takes charge, placing the commander as acting Emperor of Belahir, and uses the power to make a treaty. Suthphor does have the ability to make good boats, so they help each other make a navy and contact Hickol. Conversations ensue, and Hickol wants the commander to give up his power before the two groups unify. However, Suthphor will not allow the commander to lose power, since if that happened the treaty would be null and void, and neither of the kingdoms want to go to war, but don't trust Hickol to keep the peace.
Nomefre rejoins the Forgotten Kingdom in order to gain their protection and money for mercenaries.
Incorneal is born to the minor noble family called the Acledas. His full name is Incorneal Unribth Acledas.
Isa reaches puberty and takes the ritual. His domain, Insanity and Snakes, immediately forces him to begin to destroy the universe.
Metropolis is founded under the name Anekka because a group of settlers couldn't travel any further.
The The Forgotten Continent is cursed, the curse gradually overtaking the whole continent. Residents flee, Humans and Aasimars fleeing to wherever they could, some going North, creating the Winter Tribes, while other non-Humans try to flee to whichever country has the highest concentration of their race. Businesses flee to other countries, who have better non-Human protection laws, which raises prices, but also boosts the country's economy, providing more employment. Trade becomes impossible in any way except for through Plurum, and Metropolis, already powerful due to their trading power, rushes to consolidate power, financially ruining other trade towns, decimating roads to them and modernizing their roads.
Aereek makes it day. All the major powers in the World of Mortals convene to determine whether or not this is the same day and reorganize the clocks, as well as determine what caused this to occur. In the World of Order the Modrons completely lost track of the correct position of the sun and froze it in the sky. This made the day last longer than normal until all the systems were corrected.
