World History
All dates given are based on the founding of the Sokam Epire.
Before 200 BSE - Approximate Start of the Classical Age
Key:
Human
Aityan
Shi
There is little written record from before the Sokam empire, but it appears that human settlements occupied the majority of Losuria, with the Aityan restricted to the cold lands in the extreme north and south. There were two large islands that were inhabited soley by the Shi, Nismiram and Kobam.
Around 150 BSE - Aityan Expansion
Key:
Human
Aityan
Shi
By around 150 BSE, raiding bands of Aityan under the leadership of a succession of warlords had invaded and subjugated neighboring territories. There has also been a slow encroachment by humans into the island of Nismiram, reducing the Shi presence there.
Around 100 BSE
Key:
Human
Aityan
Shi
The fierce Aityan tribes have furthe expanded into formerly human lands, and human activity has completely taken over the island of Nismiram, reducing the Shi presence to Kobam and a small colony on an island off the western coast of Nismiram called Ronilam.
Around 50 BSE - Ashnun Empire

Aityan
Shi
Ashnun Empire (37 BSE)
From 37 BSE to 48 BSE the The Northeastern and Southern Aityan tribes are united by a warlord named Naruk. Naruk's empire of military conquest rapidly expands, and by 50 BPE the Aityan-controlled territory now includes a majority of the landmasses. Naruk is killed in a battle in 32 BPE, and is succeeded by his eldest son. The empire continues under control of the heirs of Naruk (Naruk III in 12 BPE, and Naruk IV in 5 BPE).

Ashnun Empire (37 BSE)
Sokam Empire (1 SE)
What was the village of Siloson on the Zochuan continent has experienced massive growth in the past few decades and is now the largest city-state on the planet. The ruler of Siloson takes control of neighboring villages in the region to help in driving out the Aityan forces ruled by Naruk IV. In the same year that the governor of Siloson proclaims himself "Emperor for All Losuria", the Northeast Aityan tribes rebel against Naruk IV and devolve into a state of inter-tribal warfare.
50 SE - Sokam Empire Expansion

Ashnun Empire (37 BSE)
Sokam Empire (1 SE)
Kingdom of Hestenes (33 SE)
Rebublic of Kobam (34 SE)
Taking advantage of the fighting between Naruk IX forces and the Northeast Aityan tribes, the Sokam Empire has quickly spread across the Zochuan continent.
To the north of the Sokam Empire, the city-states on Hesetenes unite to form a kingdom of their own, and the Shi have quietly formed a rebublic on Kobam.
100 SE - Ashnun Empire Splits
Key:
Human
Aityan
Ashnun Empire (37 BSE)
Sokam Empire (1 SE)
Kingdom of Hestenes (33 SE)
Rebublic of Kobam (34 SE)
Northern Ashnun Empire (99 SE)
Kingdom of Morunam (112 SE)
In 99 SE the Northeast Aityan tribes are united under the rule of the self-procaimed "True Heir of Naruk", Enaset I. This new empire takes as its primary enemy the Aityan of the Southern Ashnun Empire ruled by Naruk XXII.
The lands and cities around the Kingdom of Hesetenes are voluntarily annexed for protection against Aityan raids.
150 SE - Sokam "Golden Age"
Key:
Aityan
Ashnun Empire (37 BSE)
Sokam Empire (1 SE)
Kingdom of Hestenes (33 SE)
Rebublic of Kobam (34 SE)
Northern Ashnun Empire (99 SE)
Kingdom of Morunam (112 SE)
Kingdom of Monemes (120 SE)
Hironel League (143 SE)
Republic of Siloson (148 SE)
To the west of the Sokam Empire, the island Kingdom of Morunam expands its influence to control the tribal lands on the continent.
Cultural differences and distrust for the Kingdom of Hesetenes leads the neighboring lands to unite under the rule of Monemes I.
Continuous battle betwen the Northern and Southern Ashnun Empires leave it vulnerable to attack from internal and external forces. The portions of these empires with a majority human population manage to break free and organize to fend off future invasions.
Unburdened by the constant need to defend its borders from Aityan attack, the Sokam Empire settles into a pattern of economic development and prosperity.
200 SE - Empiric Collapse
Key:
Aityan
Sokam Empire (1 SE)
Kingdom of Hestenes (33 SE)
Rebublic of Kobam (34 SE)
Kingdom of Morunam (112 SE)
Kingdom of Monemes (120 SE)
Hironel League (143 SE)
Republic of Siloson (148 SE)
Kingdom of Goridom (153 SE)
Kingdom of Naruk [N. Ashnun] (166 SE)
Republic of Nismiram (198 SE)
Both of the Ashnun empires collapse completely due to internal fighting. A small reminant of the Northern Ashnun Empire invades an isolated island and becomes the Kingdom of Naruk.
Political maneuvering within the Sokam Empire along with a lack of a strong Emperor severely weakens it's control. The island of Nismiram gains limited autonomy, mostly because of the difficulty and cost associated with asserting Sokam rule.
250 SE - Local Rule
Key:
Aityan
Sokam Empire (1 SE)
Kingdom of Hestenes (33 SE)
Rebublic of Kobam (34 SE)
Kingdom of Morunam (112 SE)
Kingdom of Monemes (120 SE)
Hironel League (143 SE)
Republic of Siloson (148 SE)
Kingdom of Goridom (153 SE)
Kingdom of Naruk (166 SE)
Republic of Nismiram (198 SE)
With the death of the weak Emperor, control of the Sokam Empire devolves to the local Governors. The Empire continues in a smaller, much weakened form under a new Emperor.
The Kingdom of Morunam is divided among the three heirs of King Tulan, forming three separate but allied Kingdoms.
