67 MY: Barry's still bedridden with the disease, which has by now taken the majority of the urban population. Most of the city folk leave for Farms, and Agriculture starts dominating the national economy. His regent resigns from office at the sight of failing to deal with the ratpox threat, and a regency council is formed, called Magistrate Of Dominators.

(It's early history. Most years passed without important events )

[Rykil]

69 MY: Soldiers begin grouping together and eliminating all pockets of infected they're able to find. Citizens report any signs of an infected to them.

[Chan Island]

70 MY: Gore Lizmarr's army expeditions returns from the Great Mountains. Their new maps cover around 85% of the range, and identify 4 additional passes for easy access to the other side. In addition, they return with 4 of the men from the expedition they sought out to find, but had lost 3 doing so. They tell stories of weird and wonderful cultures, peoples and animals from these distant, remote lands. Among the many samples of plants they brought back, they bring the velvet-covered fern, a plant soon discovered to have medicinal properties capable of curing the Ratpox. King Barry, on his deathbed, mandates every farmer must allocate 10% of their fields towards growing the new fern while the plague goes on.

[Pilarcraft]

73 MY: The attempts to find a cure for Ratpox succeed, the terrible Plague ends with thousands dead, but the disease effectively destroyed. King Barry rises from his bed, ruling for a few months, before he finally loses his life to old age.
(Come on, 73 Years of ruling? even if he was 20 when he started the thing, just after surviving a Plague. maybe we should replace him? soon? I'll let the next guy decide it)

Well, King Barry actually only took the throne in 41 MY and is the son of the first king, who was King Max.

Anyway,

73 MY (continued): A succession dispute takes hold King Barry had 4 children, but all of them were daughters. Tobias, King Barry's brother and third child of king Max (the second son had died of the Ratpox) argued that he should be king seeing as there was no rule allowing women to become monarch. The Magistrate of Dominators, or MOD as it's beginning to be known, is called once again to settle the argument.

In the end, MOD decides that King Barry's eldest daughter, Amelia, should become queen. Queen Amelia I is crowned in Maxland to a modest ceremony, seeing as as many as one fifth of the entire country had perished with the disease just a few years earlier.

[Topoliani]

74 MY: With the end of the plague, the military stops culling rats, causing their population to grow like, well, rats. Rats and mice begin to repopulate at a faster and faster rate, sometimes causing smaller family subsistence farms to fail. Fortunately, Amelia and her good rulership prevented a famine and saved thousands more.


On a side note, Violetism grows in Maxland at a slow and unnoticeable rate.

75 MY
A line of strategic defensive outposts begin construction along some of the land that Maginot charted, these are unofficially referred to as “The Maginot Line” by workers constructing the defenses.
75 1/2 MY
A minor trader gets lost and goes mad when he discovers “The Holy City” that Maginot once raved about in the last remaining uncharted parts of The Great Mountains. Due to the trader being insignificant, no government search party took place to find him. He continues to loom in the Great Mountains to this day (I’m going to assume this guy will only live for 2 years if nobody finds him. If he’s found within 6 months he might even tell something interesting )

OOC: I get it.
IC:
75 3/4 MY: An group of Ernraci miners looking for ores in The Great Mountains comes across a madman wandering the mountain passes with no rhyme or reason. The miners take him to their camp to give him some food, as he is surely starving.

[Kalaascovy]

75 3/4 (cont) MY
The man, holding some of his sanity, tell the miners of a village of gods. Creatures that are like man, but animals. He says he took a vow never to reveal the location of the village, as it would surely upset the gods. He says the gods awoke something in him, as he points to nothingness in an empty seat, saying “I see one of the gods there too, he’s quite but hasn’t tried to attack me.”
The miners are unsure how to interpret the man’s last sentence as he could be lying to himself, his insanity creeping in.

OOC: remember that post I made a while ago? Well, the old man is talking about this joke species. Why not introduce them on a lighter note this time around.

75 MY:Another trade based kingdom is discovered on the opposite side of the Maxantean sea called Takaria

[Chan Island]

84 MY: A serious drought causes many crops to fail. While not an outright famine yet, a food shortage does occur.

[Kalaascovy]

85 MY
Order begins to deteriorate as shortages become more intense, people begin hunting in the Great Mountains as well to starve off starvation, but it’s relatively useless as the mountains hardly have animals.

[Pilarcraft]

89 MY: The war of Takarian succession starts in the neighboring Takaria. With the country in disarray, Queen Amelia orders an invasion of Takaria, and the armies begin raiding in order to find food through the drought.

[Kalaascovy]

90 MY
Construction of the Maginot Line is put at a standstill due to the ongoing war and subsequent shortages

[Wine-loving Chimps]

91 MY: The first real navy vessels are built to help fight the war against Takaria. Nomadic hunter-gather groups emerge from the other side of the Great Mountains, causing the Second Barbarian War. Rain actually comes back and the crops are in good order again, but with all of the war and disorder few notice.

[Grubaria]

92- After noticing the tensions between other nations, and smelling war on the horizon, the Ernraci blockade their island, and start work on mining out a series of caverns underneath the island in case worst comes to worst. They also send a diplomat to Takaria to ask for neutrality.

[Kalaascovy]

92 MY (cont):
The Maginot Line is mostly destroyed by the nomadic tribes, construction is now at step 1
93 MY:
A trade guide of independent merchants establish between nations. This guild continue to trade on it’s own accord despite war between nations. Their base of operation is in unclaimed territory of any nation with natives acting as a workforce. The guild is currently unnamed.

[The Navajo Indians]

94 MY: Queen Amelia gives birth to Prince Maximilian I.
95 MY: The Takarian Succession is a success, and Takarian/Maxlandian forces push back the Barbarians. The Reconstruction of the Maginot Line commences because of the surge of resources from trade routes of the merchants. Maxland starts sending their forces through the mountains to eliminate the Barbarians once and for all. Along their way, the discover the Holy City that the traveler was talking about.

95 MY (cont): The Holy City is discovered by only ONE person who gets lost and separated, and who subsequently goes mad after gazing upon the “gods” that are in residence there
OOC: requesting that no “large amount of people” find the Holy City, I want to have a mini-RP where a monarch or leader of one of the countries finds the Holy City

96 MY: In his madness, he started to act irrationally, being paranoid and attacking people when Queen Amelia I tried to gaze informations about the Holy City from him. He injured her and several people, but rambled about the location of the Holy City. She was soon treated and recovered some days later, before setting on a journey to go to the Holy City herself, along with 30 soldiers. Maxland will be governed by a person she can trust in meantime

[Pilarcraft]

96 MY (cont.): At the sight of Prince Maximilian being too young to govern, the MODs ascend to a regency council until no longer than 110 MY, unless Queen Amelia will return or any person on the Line of Succession can arrive so as to take the regency from them.

97 MY: The Times of peace starts, as the MODs have no authority to declare war (let's go by the EU4 mechanics here ) and so instead concentrate on building a permanent army and developing Maxland out of tribalism.

98 MY: Maxland started an ambitious project, to develop a new city, that is planned. It is called Eluvataria and it will be a planned city

[Kalaascovy]

97-98 MY (happening at the same time but not related or interfering)
While searching for the Holy City, Queen Amelia purposefully gets her convoy lost from a main trail taken by merchants in efforts to find the Holy City, somewhere in the uncharted parts of the Great Mountains.

100 MY: a soldier shouts, and a stir occurs. The Holy City is found! The Queen keeps her distance to avoid infuriating the god creatures that the maddened man talked about. With her small numbers, she and all her soldiers avoid madness and map the location of the city. The City is inhabited by beast creatures that are like man by walking on two legs, but beast which look more animals than man. The most common of these gods are cat based. With the recognizable documentations being Tigers, Clouded Leopards, and Leopard Cats. There are other species but they are much smaller in number and unrecognizeable from a distance.
The Queen and her Envoy prepare a return trip immediately after documenting as much they could from afar to avoid the possibility of madness.

OOC: For whoever RPs next, know that Maginot had a lot of “scribbled” notes from when they found him, in a language unable to be read. Maybe it’s the god’s language and you might want to look into the Maginot Archive ;)
