They say history drives civilizations.
Where we are today is always consequent to where we were yesterday ... the day before ... and even before that.
Thus I bring you the history of the continent of Anarym. But why bother, many of you may be thinking? While my reasons may be many, they essentially boil down to the following three points:
A) Much of the work presented herein was already done, since I needed to flesh out this history of the continent of Anarym in order be more adept at establishing the different links and relationships between the varied places and peoples of those lands;
B) Strangely enough, many among you asked for it;
C) Knowing some of the history of the continent of Anarym will be rather important for those who play the Prince of Death Cycle <evil chuckle>.
Of course, the history outlined herein cannot be fully complete. Ancient times are usually frought with blanks in history records, and the continent of Anarym is no exception to this. Likewise, regions and/or people with a tendency to keep to themselves supply but the rarest of tidbits of their own history.
Before you peruse the material presented here, I would like to bring attention to four technical items:
Years in which numerous events of historical note happen are granted a name (e.g. Year of Sorrows, Year of the Dark Majestrix, etc.);
The roll of years on the continent of Anarym is according to Anarym Reckoning -"A.R."-, with year 0 being the Year of the Enraged Waters - i.e. when the island of Anthalunde disapeared under the Great Southern Ocean after a series of cataclysmic earthquakes and volcano eruptions, causing terrible tsunamis and floods all about the southern and south-western coasts of Anarym.
For the purpose of this work, "today" corresponds to 1396 A.R. (i.e. at the begining of the Prince of Death Cycle);
More will be added as required and as allowed by my free time.
Enjoy!
