The Great Timeline of Western Brun

This article uses all existing canon and fan created information to develop a timeline of Brun, the continent of the Known World, focusing on its western regions which are not traditionally part of the canon Known World. I have added a small amount of my own creation to the available information. In canon sources, Western Brun is a mysterious land, of which only the southern part, The Savage Coast and the Arm of the Immortals, have been developed in the “Voyage of the Princess Ark” series by Bruce Heard, originally published in Dragon Magazine and later compiled in the boxed sets “Champions of Mystara”, “Red Steel” and “Savage Baronies”. The rest of the land received only brief mentions in canon sources, such as the Master set map and some adventures. The vibrant Mystara fan community, however, has added a lot to the development of Western Brun, adding much material to the scarce canon information about the continent.

To list all these sources in this article would require a huge amount of notes; I will instead list at the end of this article all the fan sources I have used, asking for forgiveness in advance if I have forgotten or omitted someone.

The first canon source to depict the whole world of Mystara, (which at that time had not been named as such), was the map in the D&D Master Rules set by Frank Mentzer. On the map Brun was largely occupied by the “Empire of Dorfin IV”. Later canon, in particular the first installment of the “Voyage of the Princess Ark” by Bruce Heard, assumed this map could have been a compilation of unreliable sources, but it gave me an idea. As the name Dorfin appears later in relation to gnomes (for example in AC11: “The Book of Wondrous Inventions”, compiled by Bruce Heard), the guideline of my personal history of Western Brun is that gnomes are the secret movers and shakers of the continent, and they really had a great empire spanning it, an empire they are ready to re-form. This idea was also partially inspired by the vapourware product “Hackwurld of Mystaros”¹ by James Mishler, where he planned to place the Hackmaster’s gnome titans in Western Brun.
To facilitate understanding of the different sources used in my timeline, I have put a [C] at the end of the event when it is mentioned in canon, a [F with number] when is mentioned in some fan material listed at the end of the article and a [M] when it is wholly my own creation. Note that I have also expanded on some canon and fan events with my own ideas.
The history of the nations of the Known World (the ones which had a canon Gazetteer produced) is in the background of this timeline, and therefore only the most important events are mentioned. The history of Alphatia and the Isle of Dawn are also only briefly mentioned unless it directly affects Central and Western Brun.

Besides gnomes, I also see Central and Western Brun as inhabited by many other races, from the most ancient, such as dragons, giants, rockmen and geonids, chameleon men, lizardkin, neanderthals, sasquatches, centaurs and fairy folks, lupins, rakastas, tortles, neshezu, phanatons, gyerians, to the human races who came before the time of Blackmoor, such as Oltecs, Azcans and the ancestors of the people of Robrenn and Ethengar, to the humanoids and the elves who came after the Great Rain of Fire.
The variety of people, cultures and themes creates a diverse and interesting setting, with plenty of adventures waiting for bold explorers!

Races of Brun

Before the arrival of humans:
The most ancient sentient land inhabitants of Brun were probably ancient elemental creatures such as geonids, rockmen, sand folks, desert ghosts, medusa, nixies, djnnis and efreets. Later came plant creatures such as fungoids, stolari, gakarak and ents, oozes and worms such as scamille, decapus and wurmlings, then insectlike creatures such as aranea, manscorpions, formians, hivebroods and crabmen, then reptilian creatures such as tortles, frogfolk, chameleon men, carnifex, sis’thik, newts, lizardmen, gatormen, caymen, troglodytes, drakes and dragons.

The seas had their own inhabitants, the most ancient being probably kopru, kna, devilfish, shark-kins and sea dragons, then crabmen, sea hermits, snappers and tortles, dragon turtles, narwhals, dendan whales and noble dolphins, omm-wa, sea giants, sea elves, mermaids and tritons.

Then came intelligent birds like faenare, harpies and gyerians and mammals, such as sphinxes, hutaakans, lupins, rakasta, goatmen, phanaton, neshezu, ratlings, enduks, cryions, jorri, mythu'nn folk, mugumba mud-dwellers, packydermions, tabi. Later came humanoid races such as garls, neanderthals and giants. Actaeons, brownies, centaurs, faeries, fauns, gremlins, imps, leprechauns, pookas, pixies, sidhe, sprites and any other fairy folks are also very ancient and may have preceded mammal inhabitants.

All these creatures have not completely disappeared from Brun; at the very least, they survive in isolated pockets of land, but in many cases they have their own nations and organisations or are relatively common and widespread in some regions.

Immortals: Using mostly Marco Dalmonte’s Codex Immortalis as a source, I have also mentioned the action of the Immortals who were natives of Brun, as I believe the path to immortality of a powerful being is bound to have great repercussions on large regions of the world.

Humans, demihumans and humanoids: Humans, gnomes, dwarves, elves, humanoids and hin are just the newcomers to the continent, as they arrived after the Great Rain of Fire or just some centuries before it. It is worth to detail the individual history of each major race to better understand what their numbers and cultures could be in modern Brun. Even if canon Mystara sources say most of these races are a relatively recent creation of the Immortals, a DM who wishes to have all the D&D worlds in an unique material plane should really dismiss these origin stories as myths, as already suggested in my article “Guide to Mystaraspace” in Threshold issue #15, and consider them more ancient races.

Humanoids: As Blackmoor promoted several crusades to exterminate beastmen (the ancestors of humanoids) before the Great Rain of Fire GRoF, it could be assumed beastmen began to again spread across northern Brun only from 2400 BC and reach southwestern Brun only after 1700 BC and the Savage Coast after 1300 BC, as detailed in the Hollow World boxed set migration map.

Elves: The great migration of Ilsundal (and probably others) reached Brun from Davania only around 2300 BC, but it can be easily deduced from canon that other groups of elves lived in the continent before that date, for example the ancestors of the Shadowelves, Shattenalfen, Belcadiz and the elves of Wendar. For more about this topic see my article “The Elven Clans and Their Migrations” in Threshold issue #10. Given this history, groups and nations of elves could now be present anywhere in Brun.

Dwarves: Supposedly natives of Brun, dwarves could probably be present anywhere in the continent even if canon sources do not detail other groups beyond the Known World and the Savage Coast. Dwarves of other regions of Brun could either be descendants of the pre-GRoF Kogolor dwarves, or colonists from Rockhome and the Savage Coast in more recent centuries.

Gnomes: The canon sources saying that gnomes were created by Garal after the GRoF conflict with their presence in Davania, Blackmoor and in other D&D settings, so it could be assumed they are an ancient race like dwarves. In this article I will indeed assume the Yalu river valley could be their original birthplace, but the true origin of the gnomes could be in any Mystara continent or elsewhere in the multiverse.

Halflings: They came from Davania after 1500 BC, but they were present in Blackmoor, so some could have come to Brun even before the Great Rain of Fire. Also a minority group could have gone to other regions of Brun after that date.

Humans: Oltecs and Azcan were the main human cultures of southern Brun before the Great Rain of Fire, but Neathar and Antalians were certainly also present in the north. As we will see in the timeline below, fan sources have greatly expanded the migrations of human cultures in the early history of Brun.

Timeline of Brun

Ancient times

75,000 BC:
Rakasta come to Brun, maybe from Skothar or Davania. At this time the continent is inhabited mostly by fairy folks, neanderthals (brutemen), giants and lupins in the centre and the north, with several populations of crabmen, tortles, chameleon men, lizardmen, troglodytes, aranea and others in the southern lands. These different races are often in conflict. Occasionally one or more of these races did create a vast kingdom that lasted centuries or even millennia, but eventually fell. (F2, M)

40,000 BC:
By this time the first humans, ancient Neathars, have settled the Alphatian sea and some areas of northeastern Brun. Dwarves and gnomes could already exist at this time as recognisable races, possibly descendants of brutemen. (F2, F3)

35,000 BC:
First oltec migrations reach southern Brun from the Alphatian sea. Rakasta spread to many regions of Brun, eventually settling in much of the continent. (C, F2)

12,000 BC:
Lhomarrian culture spreads in eastern Davania and the southern Alphatian sea. Oltec culture also develops and spreads in southern Brun and Davania. The two human cultures usually cooperate against other races, particularly aranea, carnifex and other reptilian races. (F3, M)

10,000 BC:
Tribes of Valoin (ancestors of Littonia and Karjaala) and Skandharians (ancestors of Antalians) from Skothar colonise parts of North western Brun (F2). Last remnants of the brutemen and giant civilizations still dominates part of Brun (C, F1)

9,000 BC:
The carnifex of Y’hog begin their conquests from north western Davania. In the following two millennia they spread through northern Davania and southern Brun, inciting and helping local reptilian and amphibian people against brutemen, giants, humans and humanoids. (F3)

7,000 BC:
The destruction of Lhomarr and Y’hog creates a diaspora of Lhomarrian people, who create several different nations in northeastern Davania and southern Brun. (F3, M)

6,000 BC:
The number of brutemen has declined in all of Brun. Karimari already live in the Serpent Peninsula, and dwarves in eastern Brun (C) they all may be descendants of the brutemen, as well as the gnomes of Central Brun (M)

Rise of civilizations

5,000 BC:
The rise of the Oltec empire in the area of the modern Black mountains pushes former Lhomarrian cultures to the west (ancestors of the Yezchamenid and Huleans) or the east (ancestors of Nithians and Ylari). The giants of Gandhar dominate much of the modern Isle of Dawn and Alphatia. The Draconic Empire rules northeastern Brun, including dwarven territories. Mid and western Brun is inhabited by lupins, rakasta, gnomes and Neathar humans (ancestors of Robrenn and Eusdria) with some Oltec tribes. Another Neathar group, the Maharians (southern Neathar) colonize parts of the modern Known World. (F2, M)

4,000 BC:
A new human migration comes from Skothar (ancestors of Ethengarians) (F2, M)
Oltecs reach the Savage Coast contacting tortles and manscorpions (C) The Jakar and other rakasta are integrated into Oltec society (F2). Ninsun is a great mage and Oltec empress, expanding the power of her people in Brun and the south to Davania (F4). The Pitchan nation unifies the Oltec people of the Arm of the Immortals and eventually becomes an empire (F6). Beastman of northern Brun enslave some Neathar clans, creating a breed of hybrids which will become the Dena (F6).

Blackmoor era and the first kingdom of Dorfin

3,500 BC:
Blackmoorian humans from Skothar begin their travels and colonisation, reaching southern Brun, where they will eventually found the colony of New Blackmoor in the present day Known World. (F3, M) The Azcans secede from the Oltec empire (C) Sandfolks are brought to New Blackmoor from Skothar (F6).

3,400 BC:
Blackmoor becomes ever more powerful while the Dragon Empire of Brun loses ground. Gnomes and dwarves, very interested in Blackmoor technomagic, cooperate with the humans. Blackmoor promotes crusades against beastmen and lupins, Rakasta and other humanoid races are often persecuted too. (C, F2,3, M)
Utnapishtim leads an Oltec colonisation to south western Brun (F4). Imlec² in Borea is founded by the gnome Dorfin to trade with Blackmoorians (M).

3,300 BC:
Oltec nomads settle the Yazak steppes, also inhabited by beastmen. Yazak becomes an open trading city (F6).

3,200 BC:
Garal Glitterlode leads the gnomes to create an independent nation in the cold region of the Yalu sea and builds the first Earthshaker. (F4, M) The mortal Cymorrak³ becomes the immortal Asterius after having greatly expanded Blackmoor trade in Brun (F4) The wizards of Blackmoor win against the dragons and gives them the Dragonlord armour to ensure peace (C).

3,200 - 3,000 BC:
The growing Blackmoorian power in southeastern Brun pushes many Neathar and Oltec people north and west. The powerful cleric Djaea protects the Neathar of central Brun from Blackmoor colonisation. Cretia is the leader of the Etesh people at this time, protecting them from Blackmoor’s attacks and eventually helping them after the Great Rain of Fire, thus attaining immortality. (F3, F4, M) Rathanos saves the Oltec empire from Azcan conquest (M) Yazak is overrun by beastmen pushed west by the Blackmoorian crusades (F6). Many beastmen settle in Hyborea while the beastmen/Neathar hybrids, the Dena, seek refuge in the Icereach range (F6).

The Dark Age and Dorfin II

3,000 BC:
The Great Rain of Fire destroys Blackmoor on Skothar and shifts the position of the continents, making western Brun much warmer. (C) The cataclysm also leads to the spreading of the Wasting, a disease due to technomagic poisoning, which causes the death of many original survivors during the next centuries. (F5) Gnomes are one of the few races immune to the Wasting, and they rise to power quickly in central Brun. Understanding the peril of technomagic items for other races, gnomes soon begin a campaign of destruction of such creations. The gnomish city of Imlec in Borea, however, is heavily damaged by the cataclysm (F5, M). Jakar migrates to the Arm of the Immortals. Other rakasta spread in the Yazak steppes and Norwold (F2). Dwarves of northern Brun are forced to begin a long migration south due to the changing climatic conditions (F5). Sandfolk settle the Adri Varma plateau but have lost much of their former material culture (F6).

2,900-2,500 BC:
Rathanos helps several cultures of Oltecs and Azcan descendants in Sind, Atruaghin lands and the Savage Coast survive the difficult times after the Great Rain of Fire, and becomes an Immortal (C, F4, M). Blackmoorian colonists, dwarves, gnomes and Neathar of northern Hyborea survive by creating the Qauriks⁴ domed cities and turning to the worship of Zugzul (C, F4).

2,800 BC:
Yazak manage to thrive with Blackmoorian technomagic, controlling the steppes to Dravya and Billeot, and the rakasta of Plaktur (F6). Oltecs of the east disappear, destroyed by the consequence of the cataclysm (C, M). Imlec is now rebuilt and the gnomes create the second kingdom of Dorfin, which aids the cause of the Law against the dominant chaos of the time after the cataclysm (M).

2,749 BC:
Dwarves of northern Brun have reached the region of Norwold by now (F5).

2,700 BC:
Pushed out of Norwold by rakasta, the Dena settle in Denagoth (F6).

2,600 BC:
Fiend-worshipping city of Dravya becomes a power in the Yazak, dominating Oltec and Neathar nomads, lupins and rakasta up to Billeot and Plaktur (F6). Northern Brunian dwarves and gnomes reach the region of the modern Northern Reaches and Rockhome, where some other dwarves have survived. More dwarves arrive from Skothar in the following decades (C, F5, M). Carnuilh, fair-skinned Neolithic humans settle on the Adri Varma Plateau. The humans keep to the northern parts while the Sandfolk dominate the south (F6).

7This date could be later, in 900 BC, according to Giulio Caroletti’s “History of the Visneskayan people” http://pandius.com/h_visnes.html

8The Codex Immortalis by Marco Dalmonte set this date as Minoides’ betrayal of Gildesh and the creation of common modern minotaurs, but other fan sources, including my History of Davania in Threshold issue #5, prefer to set the date of this event before 2000 BC.

10A crystal dagger of Cymorrak appears in the module X10: “Red Arrow, Black Shield”, as the only way to destroy the artifact which gives invulnerability to the Master of Hule.

13The exact date of the Fall of Essuria and the rise of the Shadowlord is not given in canon and debated in fan sources. Different dates can be found in the Vaults (http://pandius.com/wendar.html, http://pandius.com/denagoth.html, http://pandius.com/nor_wild.html including the GazF series by JTR, and in Threshold magazine issue #7

14Events of module CM7: “The Tree of Life”, which can be set in any year from 910 AC (as proposed by Roberto Roma in his Gazetteer) to 1019 AC as the DM prefers.
