Turtle Clan Timeline

by Håvard

Some interesting observations. The timeline from Gaz14 includes no events for the last 1400 years that directly involve the people of the Atruaghin Clans. I have omitted events that feel less relevant for the Turtle Clan in this timeline. Most of this information is from Gaz14. Details from other sources and fan additions of my own are given in blue.

BC 3000 Great Rain of Fire

BC 2800 A small group of surviving Azcans and Oltecs in the Outer World move into the Atruaghin Clans area. These become the ancestors of modern day Atruaghin Clans Humans.

BC1257 Red Orcs lead by Wogar conquer the people of the Atruaghin Clans. Takhati Stormtamer realizes he has been tricked and wows revenge. Ahmanni Turtlerider fights the invaders, but is eventually killed. Centuries later, she is brought back to life by Atruaghin.

BC1000 – King Milen accidentally awakens an underwater monster known as The Leviathan and other sea monsters appear in its wake. On Ierendi, the legendary hero Ronowac fights against the Sea Monsters. [Gaz1 and Gaz4 plus extrapolation] Ahmanni sends her heroes to help in the fight against the Sea Monsters.[Fan expansion]

BC900 Atruuaghin travels to the Hollow World where he constructs the Mystic Conveyor, an artifact linking the Hollow World to the Outer World.

BC800 Using the Mystic Conveyor, Atruaghin returns to the Outer World and leads his people in a revolt against the Red Orcs. He magically revives Ahmanni Turtlerider who fights beside her lover as they drive the Red Orcs out.

BC795 Atruaghin recreates the great plateau, but even larger than the original. Upon completing this task, he becomes an Immortal.

BC 792 – Danel becomes corrupted by Atzanteotl and begins turning his Tiger Clan against Atruaghin. He is opposed by Hattani Stoneclaw of the Bear Clan and although Hattani fails to save the Tiger Clan, he becomes an Immortal.

BC610 Inspired by Atruaghin and his people, the Hin revolt against their own humanoid masters and establish the Five Shires to the east. [Havard’s comment: inspired how? Did heroes from Atruaghin fight alongside the Halflings?]

BC 452 Mahmatti Running elk returns to the Plateau.. In his fight against entropy, agents of the Tiger Clan maniupated his clan to send him into exile. After studying all forms of magic, he nearly became the vicim of a deadly Glantrian Magic User, but eventually freed himself. Upon his return, he is redeemed and recognized as the most powerful Shamani in history. He becomes an Immortal. [Havard’s comments: Expanded timeline with details from Mahmatti’s backstory. Who was this Glantrian sorceress who seduced Mahmatti?]

I plan on adding more events, but I feel like this is a good starting point. Any other sources that could be relevant?
