Legends say that the Dastrian Peninsula is unified for the first time. Not much is known about this kingdom and whether it actually existed. Hildradon was still a seperate nation called Ildria. Caedon was still part of Carjedona.
Official origin of the Saltrindian Empire.
Myths state that around this time the Swanador family founded a small fortress in the Spola forest.
Legends tell of the lazy and greedy king of Habaca agreeing to use the Saltrindian soldiers in times of war and in turn paying the Saltrindians with sacrificial horses.
Habaca is invaded by its northern neighbour, Rexthor, and southern neighbour, Bajrathor. Due to a brilliant Saltrindian general, he is able to not only survive both attacks, but to actually gain territory in both kingdoms. However, he feels all-powerful and thinks the soldiers will be willing to betray their emperor. The soldiers act as if they betray the Empire, but led the imperial troops in. Emperor Je'ovis I personally kills the king.
The king of Arexthor declares war on Saltrindia and hopes to surprise the Empire. The Emperor is prepared and uses his horse carts to quickly take the kingdom. They completely eradicate the nation.

Avador and Bolcator attack Saltrindia with help from Revdor and Astodor. What followed was an extremely long war in which both sides were unable to conquer the other. As the war continued, the Astodian resolve wavered and the nations became interested in getting help from the north Tibdrian nations.
Hildradon, Dastradon and Falabia join forces against the Saltrindian invaders and force them to live on the end of the continent. This protects the rest of the region against conquest. Saltrindians decide to focus their attention on islands.
Osiana conquers its neighbour Burga. Burga's closest ally, Falabia, was unable to help adequately due to the War of the Dastrã. Osians slaughtered many of the Burgian villages.

The Saltrindians slaughter multiple Bolcatorian villages, because they were protecting a group of wilde horses. This incident creates a large reaction amongst the Tibdrian nations.

The Tibdrians raid the Saltrindian northern border on all sides. They steal the horses, free the enslaved and put fire to the Saltrindian encampments. The Saltrindians are sucked into a large guerilla war, in which all of their local resources are sabbotaged. This leads to local revolt and rebellion.
Bolcator declares itself independant. Initially they are supported by Tibidor, but they are slowly forced to join the Confederacy, which they refuse. In the end they start supporting Rae'adon to get a new ally.
The Rae'adonians take advantage of the Tibdrian assault to declare independance. They are supported by the Tibdrian legions. They ally themselves with Bolcator.
Emperor Iza'axis II wants to end the fighting in the north, so they can focus on expanding the territory in the south. He grants Bolcator and Rae'adon independance as vassal states.
The most southern nations of Serãn and Puzãn declare independance, leading to the Empire sending new Dastrian troops to the islands. This is a risky move, because the islanders have some shared cultural and religious practices with the Dastrians, who had been granted large pieces of territory there in the past.
The Grevlian nations of Astodor and Voiledor unite. They were heavily inspired by accounts of Tibdrian ressistance.
It is said the Caedonians had a breed of horses. They had very long and slim limbs, perfect for traversing the mounatins. Due to over-hunting by Saltrindians the horses went extinct.
United Astodor moves southward to gain access to the Carjedonian Bay. The Saltrindian Army is in shambles after a series of disastrous campaigns in the southern islands. They send half of their troops to Astodor. Meanwhile Tibdrian Callers go to Carjedona to whip up an independance movement.
Dastrian fighters from the center of the peninsula mutineered against their military leaders, while attacking the islands nations to the south of Saltrindia. They were succesful and this led to enhhanced Dastrian influence on the islands.
Carjedonian groups unite under the Parmedonian flag. They are supported by Tibidor, the new independant island nations in the south and a lot of Dastrians come to fight at their side.
Iza'axis is killed by his military advisors in retaliation to his failed wars in the south. For a while no emperor rules Saltrindia.
The Dastrians take over the island of Icurãn and declare it to be an independant republic. This completely destroys the flow of goods in the Empire.
Iza'axis' brother, Petru'is anoints himself emperor and revolts against the Empire. This war will take most of the attention of the Empire.
Vixenthis I is anointed in retaliation to the anointment of Petru'is. The advisors claim Vixenthis was adopted by the Iza'axis before dying. This is heavily disputed.
Tibdrian and Bolcatorian Callers encourage a revolt in Verdocar. Due to their far-off location in the north-east, the revolt is mostly ignored. However, some Huionict radicals form their own militias to fight Verdocar, due to their close location to the homeland.
Encouraged by Tibidor, Astodor and Parmedon establish borders between each other and join forces against the Saltrindians on the eastern front.

Inspired by the mythic kingdom of Habaca, the Habcians declare independance under the leadership of Haemalis I. They are the final blow to the western territories of Saltrindia. The Empire officially decides to focus on its eastern territories. However, due to pressure by Astodor and Pasmedon from the west, the small skirmishes with Saltrindia from the east and the influence of Varodon from the north Habacadon soon snippers into three kingdoms: Baradon, Atcadon and Egmi'adon.
A war on the Sparãnian Peninsula to become the new hegemon in the region. In the end five kingdoms take control: Hildradon, Dastradon, Caedon, Casteridon and Paladon.
Osianã invades Falabia from the north. They again use the chaos on the Dastrian Peninsula as a coverup for their conquest. Again, many villages are slaughtered and not many of the initial inhabitants survive. Many flee to Aznadon to the west. The destruction of Falabia fundamentally upsets the - already quite tense - triarchy between them, Hildradon and Dastradon.
Casteridon emerges as the dominant power in the peninsula.
The Casterian monarchs, the Marishon family, changes the Saltrindian system of local autonomy into a more centralised council system. Important land lords are encouraged to come live in Castrã and participate directly in the politics of the kingdom. Although effective in centralising power and lowering dissent, this leads to a decreased authority of the monarchy.
A war caused by the discovery of a bloodsteel mine in the Stactons. Both Casteridon and Hildradon spend a lot of their resources on the war in order to dominate the region. There are small attempts by locals to revolt against both powers by involving the Falabians.
Osianã conquers Aznadon, but is unable to get a grip on its inhabitants.
Castrians conquer the island nation of Paladon to assure a safe passage for their ships.Some whisper this had something to do with gaining access to beast blood.
The Falabians had relied on their triumvirate relationship to Dastradon and Hildradon. However, after the collapse of the Saltrindian Empire their allies had become less reliable. In particular, both had started to wage war on each other to gain more control. This led to Osiã seeing a chance to conquer the territory.
Hildrian lords attack the Aregõnian coast. Allegedly because five goats had been stolen by a clan. Aregõnã had an unclear status in the Castrian realm, so when the Castrians came to protect their territory, they also weren't supported. What followed was a long war, in which Hildradon and Casteridon ended up winning and losing the territory, while being sabbotaged by local guerilla fighters. In the end it was unclear who won it, but it heavily destabilised Casteridon. It is argued by historians the Hildrians purposefully kept prolonging the war to create chaos in the country.
The island nations revolt against the weakening Casterian monarchy in order to create the nation of Paladon. Initially the revolts are unsuccesfull, until they are supported by Hildradon who attack Casteridon from the north.
A coallition emerges between the Hildrian lords and Paldonian petty kings, called the Pirate Pact. The islands are given permission to raid all ships, except the Hildrian ones. This makes trade on sea between the north and south or west and east basically impossible.
Osianã invades its northern neighbour, Olonia. They heavily rely on soldiers and resources from former Aznadon and Falabia. This awakens lingering resentment and is one of the causes of the Azãnian War.
