Timeline of Calabria

A timeline of known events in the history of Calabria and it's world.

Prehistory

Circa 2000 YA - Doloreaux arrive in Calabria, possibly the first thinking species to arrive, possibly from Avami. Possibly this is speciesist propaganda.

Doloreaux enslaved for three centuries. They are freed by a hero Bruge, who rules for a long time. These legends as enumerated by a priestess Clairmunda become the basis of Lutarism.

Circa 1000 YA - Phelans arrive. Rinaldi are probably on Calabria by this time already, as are the Auvoirdupois, who claim to have been first.
