Valrindor Atlas Timeline

Teryndal is a nation in southwestern Xalmyrra, with its capital at Irrathis.

Geography

Soltheris lies to the east, Erenmyr to the north, and Keldara to the northeast. Teryndal's countryside includes farmlands, grasslands, rivers and lakes. Velundra is a fortified southern city near Lythenmere Lake. Aemrith stands against snowy mountains, while Fyrhaven lies north of Irrathis.

River Selvryn

The River Selvryn runs through Irrathis, with Fyrhaven farther upriver. Water and earth mages shape its branches through the capital, where they serve as a sanitation system. Water mages propel ferries along the river.

Government

The high arbiter leads Teryndal through Teryndal's Assembly. The Xalmyrran Council, also based in Irrathis, is a separate body coordinating regional missions.

History

Xarion's government

Xarion gathered political support while Cassian protected villages and healed their inhabitants. Xarion became high arbiter with Cassian at his side.

Cataclysm and war

In the current Xalmyrran cycle, the Cataclysm flooded Irrathis through the overflowing Selvryn, sent lava through its southern borders and consumed the forests to its west. Xarion demanded Aurion surrender and proposed placing Soltheris under Teryndal's government. He marched his army toward Soltheris. When the two armies met, Eira's darkness magic engulfed the battlefield, killing tens of thousands.

History

Atraxi settlement

Xoltan welcomed the atraxi to Teryndal. Most settled in Irrathis, while others moved into Erenmyr and Keldara. Their language spread through Teryndal and the other Xalmyrran nations, becoming known as Xalmyrran.

Destruction and confinement

Jorhan's battle with Aldred devastated Teryndal's countryside and destroyed Irrathis. Belanor, Xandor, Khoradyn, Orin and Therion led thousands north through Erenmyr to a gate on an island west of the mainland. Jorhan remade Irrathis and the surrounding region with his spiral shards, then confined Xalmyrra behind storms and darkness. A shard in the Temple of no Return remade the region whenever it was consumed, sustaining the repeating cycles.

War of Scars

After Belanor told Kaldramir about Xalmyrra's confinement and the outside world, Kaldramir launched the War of Scars. The armies of Teryndal, Keldara, Soltheris and Erenmyr clashed in the war's greatest battle. Thalena, appearing as Arcanis on an astragon, halted the armies and ended the war.

Xarion's government

Xarion gathered political support while Cassian protected villages and healed their inhabitants. Xarion became high arbiter with Cassian at his side.

Cataclysm and war

In the final Xalmyrran cycle, the Cataclysm flooded Irrathis through the overflowing Selvryn, sent lava through its southern borders and consumed the forests to its west. Xarion demanded Aurion surrender and proposed placing Soltheris under Teryndal's government. He marched his army toward Soltheris. When the two armies met, Eira's darkness magic engulfed the battlefield, killing tens of thousands.

End of confinement

During Kaelion's battle with Jorhan, Jorhan released the spell confining Xalmyrra, clearing the surrounding storms and much of its darkness. Thalena defeated Jorhan, and the repeating cycles ended. Pontarius sent ships from Thalassai toward Teryndal to establish contact.

Naryon's succession

Xarion declined to resume office on his return. Naryon became high arbiter, concentrating on infrastructure and food exports. He and Durvek, the new guildmaster, oversaw exploring missions for the Adventurers' Guild.

Most villages near the road toward Soltheris and Zeydrith have been rebuilt. The frictionless train departs from a station near southern Irrathis.
