The History of Dormill and Stiura spans many thousands of years, with many kingdoms and empires once in ownership of what was to become Dormill and Stiura. This thread (and the connected Dispatches) shall, as completely as possible, tell the history of Dormill and Stiura as can best be observed through a series of eras, with specific beginnings and ends that encompass periods of time where certain political mindsets dominated within the many various states that have existed here and were the driving force behind the policy of their respective era. Doraltic historians hold a consensus that there are eleven distinct political eras grouped into three periods, where there was a radical shift and reestablishment in what would be considered politically or socially normal. These are usually marked by the rise and/or fall of certain political parties or crucial events that directly impacted policy-making within Dormill and Stiura. The eras are named, in order, The Ardedan Era, The Colonial Era, The Stiuraian Era, The Revolution Era, The Young Republics Era, The Favre Era, The Post-Imperial Era, The Division Era, The New Republics Era, and The Dyson Era.
The goal of this thread is to provide important points of context and condense the three whole dispatches of information into easily readable, collaboration-friendly, sections.
For reference, anything that is marked in bold are events that are critical to Dormill and Stiura, but can be changed depending on collaboration, these will usually be events involving the interaction with Real-World Entities. Anything marked with an underline are to be regarded as events or concepts that have been collaborated on in private conversations and have not been formalized, things such as the Aurian Troubles and the 1989 Gael Crash will be here. Anything in italics should be regarded as events that have not been collaborated on yet and are of top discussion priority with the relevant persons, such as the Canal War or anything involving the Dormill-Stiuraian Empire in general. Any combination therein shall be regarded as a mixture of the above descriptions.
Anything in the "Working Concepts" spoilers are meant to be primers for collaboration between myself and others, it is highly suggested that these become the points of discussion as this thread progresses.
With that being said, I hope to see the best as I work on this.
