I think we all understand the format at this point. This section will cover the history of Rydicia through it's rise, as well as the events that lead to some important changes in the nation's social and political structures. Because these stories are not as epic or interesting as those in the past 30 years, I will be covering larger swathes of time at once.

26-40: The Roc's Border War. On his tenth birthday, Tobori Red Crest launches a brutal invasion at Rydicia's southern border. The half-fey hobgoblin monarch insists that when Ta'an Blunt-tusk and his followers invaded the Feather Fields, the Rydicians unjustly expanded their borders deep into long held Hobgoblin territories. Determined to reclaim these lands, the boy prince's armies march on and put several Rydician border towns to the sword. The invasion is backed by the prince's mother, Umber Soul. The Hag uses dire rituals to tear open the border between worlds, spilling armies of Goblins from the Feywild, loyal to the Red Crest into the conflict. The battles escalate, and as Rydician Eladrin and Elves join the conflict, Umber Soul is able to seduce several powerful Fomorians into aiding the Red Crest.

Peace talks break down when the eight Dragon Crowned can not agree on a mutual border with the Feather Fields. Tobori Red Crest's demands would make several Rydician cities Red Crest territories, including Proudstand and Fort Boarsgate. Ta'an Blunt-tusk and Takar the Green emphatically refuse to concede an inch of the ground they fought for. Matriarch Vice and Arl Redmortar, on the other hand both have power bases far to the north of the war, and refuse to endanger their people to settle what they see as a grudge between orcs and hobgoblins. With no consensus among the ruling class, the war rages for fifteen years.

Finally, in the fifteenth year of the Roc's Border War, the Hobgoblin army marches on Proudstand. With the aid of Fomorian sorcery, legions of goblins breach the walls. Ta'an Blunt-tusk dies defending an orphanage from the invaders. Hobgoblins capture the city, but are unable to breach the walls of Castle Blunt-tusk. The Green Order, lend by Takar the Green, recovers the fallen paladin's body and holds the castle against all assaults for three months, before a relief force from Boarsgate breaks the siege. As the Hobgoblins and their allies fall back from Proudstand, Takar the Green swears an oath of vengeance against The Red Crest for the death of Ta'an Blunt-tusk, promising to pay a one gold piece bounty on every Red Crest feather brought to him. The Tiefling Warlord is at last able to stir his Dragon Crowned peers, and the full Rydician army assembles against the Hobgoblin Host. The two armies clash decisively in the outskirts of Boarsgate, with the Rydicians holding the border and breaking the Hobgoblins at a dire cost. Takar the Green leads the charge at the head of the Green Order, cloaked in a mantle made from the crests of fallen Hobgoblins. The Tiefling Warlord's charge is bolstered by a force of aggrieved, raging Half-Orcs said to number in the thousands. Enraged at the death of their hero, the Rydician Half-Orcs wreak such carnage against the Hobgoblin forces that Tobori Red Crest surrenders, his army broken and demoralized, as the Hobgoblin chieftain is led away in chains.

In exchange for the life of Tobori, Umber Soul signs The Roc's Border Accord, forever cementing the border between the Rydician Empire and the Dynasty of the Red Crest. Although the war ends, relations between the two bordering nations remain strained, with conflict and armed disputes along both sides of the border.

33: Nimble Crawler goes missing. The Halfling explorer and founding member of the Dragon Crowned simply disappears in the middle of the evening, and is never heard from again.

41-50: As cities grow into in size and prosperity within Rydicia, the citizenry grows discontent with the lack of centralized leadership. Several influential land owners point to the Roc's Border War as a sign of the Dragon Crowned's inability to lead in a time of crisis. Division among the eight rulers prolonged the conflict, these advocates say, and cost Rydician lives. Further, the death of Ta'an Blunt-tusk and the disappearance of Nimble Crawler, the Dragon Crowned are a crumbling power base. Who, the dissidents ask, will lead the empire if the Dragon Crowned should fall? Furthermore, as the empires Human population grows, more and more of the nations wealth is in human hands, and yet, no full blooded Human sits among the Dragon Crowned. The empire is briefly paralyzed by strife, until Riven Hart, a distant cousin of Edderik Blackhart, and a Human, is placed by public mandate on the Everlasting Throne.

Riven Hart becomes the first Rydician King as the Imperial Age truly begins in earnest. As king, Hart has the power to unite the disparate interests of the nation with one voice, and while he is advised by the Dragon Crowned, he is not beholden to them. King Riven Hart cannot pass new laws on his own, but he can pass them with the approval of the Dragon Crowned, and the Dragon Crowned retain the sole ability to induct new members into their ranks. Riven's first edict, approved unanimously by the Dragon Crowned, is the Law of Gold, a series of contracts that allow land owning nobles to essentially buy military protection from the Rydician throne. The act works as a tax for those willing to pay it. Land owners who pay have their lands patrolled by well trained loyal Rydician soldiers, and land owners who prefer to look after their own interests may do so, but they are then at the mercy of Hobgoblin or Orc raiders, Fey abductions, and the ever present threat of a dragon attack. These funds are then redirected into training and equipment for soldiers, to better protect those paying into The Law of Gold.

52: The Shoddy Edict. King Riven Hart officially passes a law forbidding Kobolds from settling within Rydician cities, or from being recognized land owners.

I'm about out of time to write today, but I'll add some more soon. Let me know what you think so far.
"Our time has come. For three hundred years, we prepared. We grew stronger, while you rested, in your cradle of power, believing your people were safe, and protected. You were trusted to lead The Republic, but you were decieved, as our powers of the Dark Side have blinded you. You assumed no force could challenge you. And now, finally, we have returned. You were decieved, and now, your Republic shall fall."

More bite size chunks of fake history

73: King Riven Hart is found dead of poison. His eldest son, Smunder takes the Rydician throne. The Dragon Crowned suspect patricide, but a full investigation clears Smunder of suspicion. The true killer is never determined. However, public suspicion of the boy king makes him an innefective monarch, and for a number of years The Dragon Crowned effectively rule the nation.

95: The Crowning. King Smunder Hart passes into law an edict that adds many wealthy Rydician land owners, mostly human to the ranks of the Dragon Crowned. The King had tried to pass the edict for years, only to have it vetoed by the Dragon Crowned each time. However an accord is reached, when King Hart agrees to add the eldest offspring of each founding member of the Dragon Crowned added to the list of names.

100: The First Centinial. Rydicians celebrate a century of nationhood with carnivals, parades and festivals.

120: Smunder Hart dies childless. His younger brother Adair succeeds him. Adair's policies begin a long era of co-operation between the throne and the Dragon Crowned.

160: Adair Hart steps down from the throne and places his eldest son Monan on it.

187: Aush Iceroth, a renegade Hobgoblin and his followers flee the Feather Fields. Ausch is a powerful warrior, bolstered by pacts with unspeakable powers, even by Hobgoblin standards. A former commander for the Red Crest military, the pacts he made transformed him into something unholy. He and his twisted followers turn on their fellow Hobgoblins, and are decalred enemies of the Red Crest dynasty. Ausch escapes judgement for his crimes by calling on his dark powers and fleeing into the Shadowfell, the realm of the dead.

Iceroth and his cadre of twisted hobgoblins emerge from the Shadowfell deep in the heart of Rydicia, at Fort Tenflags. The invaders catch the fortress unaware, and a massacre of the dwarven and dragonborn defenders ensues. The rebel Hobgoblins hold the fortress city for three months, and the surrounding towns and villages suffer under depredations too terrible to record. A seige fails to move the entrenched rebels, as they seem to have no want for food or water.

It is a combined army of Drow and Dwarves, lead by the legendary Arl Redmortar and Matriarch Vice that at last end the stand off. The Drow and Dwarven forces smuggle themselves up into the city through it's underground wells, which the hobgoblins took no steps to defend. A massive battle erupts within the walls as the Hobgoblins rush to meet the suprise attack. Matriarch Vice is take by suprise when the poisoned weapons of her Drow escort seem to have no effect on the Hobgoblin invaders, and she is critically wounded and forced to flee the battle. The leaderless drow take heavy losses. The dwarven force fares much better, as savage screaming waves of hobgoblins fail to break the iron resolve of the Dwarves. It is only when Ausch Iceroth himself enters the fray that the Dwarven lines begin to break. The unholy hobgoblin and Arl Redmortar clash along the battlements as their respective armies struggle in the courtyard below. Both warriors seem impervious to harm, but the conflict comes to a brutal conclusion when Arl Redmortar tackles his adversary over the walls and impales him on one of the ten flagpoles for which the fort is named. With Iceroth's death, the rebel Hobgoblins are left weakened and demoralized. Many flee, but the vast majority are hacked down by the victorious Rydician forces.

In the aftermath, the fortress city is renamed Nineflags, in honor of the sacrifices neccisary to remove the evil renegade from Rydician soil. The tenth flag remains lodged in Iceroth's body, and is scheduled to be buried with the dread warrior. Not long after the renegade's death however, hobgoblin ambassadors from the Feather Fields request to have the body of Ausch Iceroth and any of his followers shipped back to their homelands, so they can stand posthumous trial for their crimes.

188: The body of Ausch Iceroth is entombed within a dark pyramid of obsidian in a remote location within the Feather Fields. The workers who build the tomb are murdered upon it's completion, and the entrances collapsed and sealed with magic. Tobori Red Crest passes an edict stating that Hobgoblin patrols will circle the land in a fifty mile radius of the tomb, with standing orders to execute anyone found in the area. The name Iceroth is stricken from Red Crest records, and from that point forward, any reference to him or his crimes is punishible by mutilation. Rydician records are the only proof that the dark warrior ever existed.

198: Never having recovered from her wounds, Matriarch Vice retires from her leadership position among the drow, and her seat among the Dragon Crowned. Her daughter Zaphine rules in her stead, while Vice serves as her advisor.

King Monan Hart passes away in his sleep and his son Auber takes the throne.
"Our time has come. For three hundred years, we prepared. We grew stronger, while you rested, in your cradle of power, believing your people were safe, and protected. You were trusted to lead The Republic, but you were decieved, as our powers of the Dark Side have blinded you. You assumed no force could challenge you. And now, finally, we have returned. You were decieved, and now, your Republic shall fall."

And here we go again, right where I left off last week.

200: The Green Order constructs a military academy on the Rydician side of the Roc's Border. From here, the Order trains the next generation of Rydician knights, and with the aid of these elite warriors, the Roc's Border becomes more stable than ever. The academy is assaulted on numerous occasions over the years by hobgoblin sorties, but it never fails to break such war parties. To this day, the academy, called Takarhold in honor of it's founder, stands proudly on the Roc's Border, and the Green Order exists as one of Rydicia's most celebrated military traditions.

227: Former Matriarch Vice at last succumbs to her wounds and is entombed in an eight fold crypt deep in the Secret Sea, below the city of Draug-Mathor. Rydicians of all races mourn the loss, but the Drow are most affected. Matriarch Zaphine is unable to unite her people as her mother did. A period of lawlessness ensues, disrupting Rydician trade and creating a shortage of well-water across the empire. The crisis only ends when soldiers march into the underdark caverns and declare martial law. Combined forces from Redmortar and Auth-Solice join with drow loyal to Matriarch Zaphine to put down the majority of the rebels.

240: King Auber Hart declares the construction of the Rydician Navy, to explore and develop the potential of the Sunset Sea on the western border, and the Amber Sea on the eastern border. Early exploration of both seas is wildly successful, as explorers discover untapped resources on islands close to the mainland, and the treasures of a bygone age lying unclaimed on these islands. The port cities of Omenhoff, Sapphire Springs, and Nautan spring up over night, as Rydicans eagerly exploit the wealth of the sea. Within a decade, the a network of fishing villages and towns spread across the islands closest to the Rydician mainland.

258: Explorers discover The Isle of Smoke, far across the Amber Sea. A volcanic island, it's peak, Mount Terror belches smog and sulfur into the sky. The volcano also proves to be home to a hive of evil Beholders. The Eye Tyrants destroy or enslave many of the explorers who discover their home, leaving only a handful of survivors to tell the tale. This begins a period of Rydician history known as the Eye Tyrant Wars, as the beholders to continue to harass and destroy ships exploring the Amber Sea. Their remote location from the mainland prevents the Beholders from launching an invasion, but the power of the Beholders defeats all Rydician attempts to colonize islands further out to sea. This state of affairs persists for over three hundred years.

278: Crowning of King Loben Hart. Rydicians continue to expand into the Sunset Sea, as the Eye Tyrant Wars stall further exploration of the Amber Sea.

299: The crew of the ship Wavebreaker return to port in Sapphire Springs with tales of a new land found across the Sunset Sea. They describe a continent covered with endless forests of evergreen trees, peopled by Elf and Eladrin alike. However, further exploration of this newly discovered land reveals that it exists on a border between the material realm and the Feywild. In the Feywild, it exists as the explorers described, a massive rolling continent of untouched forest. However, within the material realm, much of this land is deep below sea level, leaving only a circular island rising from the sea. Elf and Eladrin explorers settle here, renaming the island Shu-Lendal, or The Ring Gate in Elvish.

345: The Imperiatus, the personal ship of King Hart is caught at sea in an unpredicted blizzard. The ship, and all aboard sink to the bottom of the Sunset Sea. Tragically, King Hart and the entire Royal family were aboard. For the first time in history, the Everlasting Throne sits empty, and the Rydician people are left leaderless.

355: Shamnath the Resplendent, a Dragonborn high priestess of Bahamat foretells a great doom will befall the empire if the crown is not placed "upon a rightful brow". Shamnath's words carry great weight among Rydicia's superstitious Dragonborn population, and undercurrents of unrest ripple across the nation.

362: Prince Brahkor Red Crest gathers an army of enslaved Gnolls, Bugbears and Ogres and hurls them recklessly at the Roc's Border. Several border town are caught unprepared by the savagery of the attackers, and are forced to flee to Takarhold. There, the Green Order breaks the horde and captures it's leader, Prince Brahkor. The Rydician's ransom the warlike prince back to his immortal father, the half-fey Tobori Red Crest. However, as soon as the prince is back within the Feather Fields, Tobori executes his heir personally, and orders him buried in an unmarked grave.

375: The Firre of Endless Summer dies. With his death, his pact with the sky over Spider Canyon ends, sending the floating city of Auth-Solice crashing into the canyon floor. Thousands die in the catastrophe, and only through the intervention of the churches of Bahamat, Gruumsh, Correlon, Moradin and Lolth do any live to tell of the tragedy. The body of the ancient Eladrin Warlock is discovered at the bottom of the ruin, but no cause of death is ever determined.

395: Two decades after foretelling her original prophecy, Shamnath the Resplendent warns that "The land itself will become an evil thing if we do not name a king!" Dragonborn begin to leave the country, and the Dragon Crowned and wealthy land owners struggle to maintain the peace.

400: A wealthy land owner with a large extended family by the name of Lakov Drakure is placed on the Everlasting Throne. The Drakure bloodline rules over Rydicia for many centuries to come. While agitators often claim that the Drakure line are little more than pawns of the wealthy, their rule is a period of peace and prosperity for the empire.

445: The Raising of the Towers. Powerful Rydician wizards erect eleven towers across the empire, each at a nexus of arcane energies between the material realm and the Feywild. Each tower is presided over by a master wizard who teaches apprentices a differing magical philosophy. The eleven towers each represent a different approach to magic, but offer the same fundamental understating of the arcane to those who study under the master wizards. The eleven towers are;
The Tower of Fire, at the northern border, at the base of the Razorback Mountains
The Tower of Frost, within the Frosted Forest
The Tower of Fortune, on the banks of the Whiskey River
The Tower of the Deeps, on an island in the Secret Sea
The Tower of Thunder, in Rydicia City
The Tower of Alchemy on Shu-Lendal
The Tower of Stone, at Nineflags
The Tower of Prosperity on the cliffs above Spider Canyon
The Tower of War at Boarsgate
The Tower of Secrets at Crawler's Hollow
The Tower of Shadows, at Blackstone

475: With the aid of mages from the Tower of Prosperity, and an alliance of clergy, the City of Auth-Solice is rebuilt at the bottom of Spider Canyon.

500: A horde of barbaric White Orcs invade from the north. The Orcs are lead to war by the White Dragon Eashendrakghul. However, the orcs march takes them near The Tower of Fire, where the invasion is detected by fire wizards. The Rydician army mobilizes from Nineflags and Redmortar, and within two months the orcs and their draconic master are routed from the Rydician border.

561: Mount Terror erupts, flooding the Beholder Hive on the Isle of Smoke with hot magma. This brings an end to the Eye Tyrant Wars, as the Beholders are forced to flee their hive, and no longer are able to present an organized threat to Rydician colonies and vessels. However, the powerful aberrations remain an ever present danger that keeps Rydicians from exploring the sea in complete safety.

I'll add some more tomorrow.
"Our time has come. For three hundred years, we prepared. We grew stronger, while you rested, in your cradle of power, believing your people were safe, and protected. You were trusted to lead The Republic, but you were decieved, as our powers of the Dark Side have blinded you. You assumed no force could challenge you. And now, finally, we have returned.

610: Tobori Red Crest marches an army, headed by his nine sons, across the Feywild, and launches a surprise assault on the city of Briarhorn, deep within Rydician territory. Over matched and unprepared for an invasion of such scale, the garrison at Briarhorn falls within hours. The Rydician army's response is slowed by the verdant growth within the Spice Marsh. By the time the army is ready to retake the city, Tobori and his generals have fled into the Feywild, dragging thousands of Rydician citizens with them. Rydicians send large and well armed forces into The Feather Fields to rescue the captives, but are repelled by much larger Hobgoblin forces. The city of Briarhorn never fully recovers from the loss in population, and enters into an economic depression.

635: Tobori Red Crest disappears into the Feywild, leaving the Red Crest dynasty in the hands of his eldest surviving son Musak. The half-fey Hobgoblin monarch is never sighted in the material realm again.

660-665: The Barony of Firehulf Rebellion. Baron Firehulf, a wealthy landowner in northern Rydicia and outspoken opponent of the Rydician crown rebels against the empire. The Baron's territories are large and well defended, and he has managed to subvert many soldiers and citizens to his cause. Among his most powerful supporters are a number of mages from The Tower of Fire, which lies on the edge of his holdings. For five years the Baron and his allies struggle against the empire. As time wears on the Baron's mages distill elixirs from the blood of red dragons. These potions allow the Baron's armies to transmute followers into all manner of fiery terrors. By 665 IRC the countryside around Castle Firehulf is awash with flames. Most of the Baron's subjects have been consumed by these fires, or twisted into some draconic mockery of their former selves. The Baron himself was said to be a great red terror, more dragon than man.

Finally an army from Crawler's Hollow, bolstered by mages from the Tower of Frost as well as loyalist Fire mages capture Castle Firehulf. The Baron flies across the border on "blood red wings" according to witnesses, never to be seen again. Re-cultivation of the Baron's ruined territory, as well as the destruction of the monsters his mages bred takes years.

742: Bregin Forkbeard, an outlaw dwarven sorcerer arrives in Rydicia City. The old dwarf is a notorious slaver, wanted for his crimes in a dozen other lands. However, in his underground den below Rydicia City, he is able to ply his black trade for years, all the while evading justice. The presence of the slavers at the heart of the empire sows discontent, and crime escalates.

750-754: The Crescent, a powerful thieves guild, engages in a bloody gang war with Forkbeard's slave ring. Killers run the streets, and the law is all but helpless to contain the battles. Citizens huddle in their homes as the rival gangs wage bloody war against one another. Those who stand against the outlaws find themselves cut down in the crossfire, as the situation escalates.

In 754 IRC the conflict is brought to a bloody conclusion when a bad of thugs break into Forkbeard's underground layer, and assassinate the wicked old slaver. Forkbeard's followers flee the empire with the death of their master, and the slave ring is disbanded. However, The Crescent continues to flout the law, raiding and marauding against merchants and profiting by theft and murder.

765: The Monstrous Gambit. Agents of The Crescent release scores of foul beasts into the Rydician countryside. These monsters were found by the victorious Crescent agents when they raided Forkbeard's hideout. Rather than destroy the foul beasts, the thieves turn them loose against poorly guarded communities paying into The Law of Gold. The army of King Ludwigge Drakure scrambles to protect the people and slay the rapacious beasts.

766: The Coming of the Bandit King. As the imperial army scrambles to contain the legion of monsters across the countryside, bandits infiltrate Castle Rydice. The brutal thugs catch the King unawares and assassinate him. With ruthless efficiency, other agents across the land spring deadly ambushes on the rest of the Drakure line. Within one bloody evening, the royal family is no more, and the butcher who leads The Crescent, a bloodthirsty killer and thief by trade, places himself on the Everlasting Throne.

His name is not given here, nor shall it be in any other document. It has been stricken from all text, for the weight of his many crimes is too great to be born by any one name. His foul crimes will not stain the names of his ancestors, nor will he be honored by name in death. The name recorded here, in all Rydician History, is the name by which he was known in those dark days, a title befitting the nature of his rule. Let him be known only as The Bandit King.

This marks the end of the Imperial Era of Rydicia, and brings us very close to the modern day. In a few days I'll have the details history records of The Bandit King's rule. A few days after that, I'll have the time that followed, and that will bring us up to modern day Rydicia in plenty of time to start 4th edition.

As always feel free to post any questions or comments you may have. I'd be happy to answer. It should be clear by now that nothing makes me happier than talking about stuff that I made up.

Good stuff as always.

After the histor is fully laid out, how do you plan to coordinate a storyline with a DM and still play in it? Have you laid those details out yet?

Well, there's alot of loose threads that you will notice throughout the history, things that happen and aren't fully explained or recorded. Those threads are left loose, for the most part so that another DM can use them to write in adventures using what is established as a base and going from there with their own ideas.

The other cool thing about this, is that the setting is more open to the way the party wants to explore it. You can be pretty sure that whatever path you want to explore will lead to a good adventure.

With all of that said, I have some secrets I'm not recording here, some NPCs who I think it would be better if other DM's didn't use in their plots, but that is information I will share with the other DM, or DMs.

Another question, where did the massive amount of Dragonborn come from? They couldn't really be decendents of the imfamous dragons the Dragon Crowned killed. Did I miss how they came into history?

Modern Rydicia doesn't have a large Dragonborn population, but the fact that Rydicia was a very wealthy nation which was often at war lead to a migration of several Dragonborn mercenary clans into the empire. For a time these mercenaries and their descendants were a signifigant political presence in the empire, although as you will see, many leave or die during the reign of the Bandit King.
