Continuity/Viamontian History

Asheron's Call

This is the period of time from beta leading up to Dark Majesty. We had sparse information on the Viamontians (then called Viamonters) during the early period of the game. By piecing together information from several sources, we are able to create the following timeline:

Roulean Year	Event
787 RC	Reign of Pwyll II begins in Aluvia. It lasts 17 years.
804 RC	Viamont invades Aluvia, reign of Pwyll II ends. Reign of Alfric begins in Aluvia. Alfric is the Viamontian invader that is ruling Aluvia. His reign lasts 20 years.
824 RC	Reign of Alfric ends. Reign of Theolaud, son of Alfric, begins. It lasts 30 years.
854 RC	Reign of Theolaud Ends. It is said that during this time, King Elous VIII rules in Viamont, and that Theolaud was killed during a duel with the Viamontian king. Reign of Alfrega, daughter of Theolaud, begins. It lasts 14 years.
868 RC	Reign of Alfrega ends. Reign of Osric, son of Alfrega, begins. It lasts 31 years. Osric is Viamontian, but begins to mend the Aluvian culture.
899 RC	Reign on Osric ends. Reign of Pwyll III, son of Osric, begins. It lasts 25 years. Pwyll III is killed by an ambassador from Viamont on what is described as the eve of war between the two nations, and it is said that knights and commoners alike fell upon their enemies and destroyed them.
924 RC	Reign of Pwyll III ends. Reign of Cellric II begins. It is not known how long it lasts.
Around 1003 RC	The Century of Storms begins. During this time of chaos in Gharu'n no fewer than twenty-five different would-be Maliks and Malikas will rule the Gharu'ndim people.
Prior to 1103 RC	During Century of Storms, Viamont sends armies to Gharu'n to invade. The Viamontians install Zahir ibn Ma'mun as a puppet leader, while they rule Gharu'n from afar. During his rule, Zahir ibn Ma'mun murdered all his rivals, except for a young lord named Jawhar al-Shamshir. Seeing what has become of his homeland, Jawhar travels the desert in secret, banding together the people. Jawhar defeats Zahir ibn Ma'mun and drives the Viamontians from the shores of Gharu'n. He becomes the new Malik, and returns Gharu'n to the glory it had known in Yasif's time.
1311 RC	After approximately 400 years pass since the reign of Cellric II (387, by these dates), the reign of Cedraic III begins. It is listed as having an unknown end date, but lasting 10 years, implying it is the current reign.
Present Day	"Good King Cedraic" reigns in Aluvia during this time. Some say it is just a matter of time before war between Aluvia and Viamont returns.
Present Day	Malika Qadira bint Balj reigns in Aluvia during this time. It is a peaceful time, but there is always the threat of war, both from Viamont and Milantos.

AC:DM

With the release of Asheron's Call: Dark Majesty, players were given the AC:DM CD Lore. Among these files was the Ages of the Empyrean, which outlined the history of Auberean. It also contains a few valuable pieces of information regarding the Roulean Calendar:

Portal Year	Roulean Year	Event
-15 PY*	1261 RC	Humans arrive on Dereth.
0 PY	1276 RC	Olthoi Queen is defeated.
12 PY	1284 RC	Marae Lassel opens.
*Stated in numerous other sources.

The History of Auberean

In early 2003, Turbine released another timeline called The History of Auberean. We are presented new information:

Portal Year	Roulean Year	Event
-874 PY	???	The Yalaini open the first portal to Ispar. It goes to Aluvian lands.
-869 PY	704 RC	Viamont invades Aluvia. The reign of Pwyll II ends and the reign of Alfric begins.
-779 PY	765 RC	Reign of Alfrega begins.
-779 PY	765 RC	Harlune stays behind on Ispar during an expedition.
-758 PY	779 RC	Reign of Osric begins.
-15 PY	???	The portals created by the Sundering begin to appear on Ispar in the Aluvian lands, and the first humans begin to arrive on Dereth.

Using our conclusions from Continuity: Aluvian History and Continuity: Timeline of Ispar we can construct the following timeline:

AC:ToD

Throne of Destiny changed the recent history of Ispar to account for the recent Viamontian military campaigns.
