[edit] Discovery of Magic
- 987: Horseshoes, stirrup, and saddle were invented for better posturing of the first knights.
- 995: King Jendin I disbanded his military in favor of the palace guard.
- 999: The scattered spiritual remains of Tyrael were finally rediscovered by a young boy named Kirin adventuring into the Nicetheen forest. He and his friends discovered more and more of this magic and called themselves the Kirin Tor, and began performing research and inventing more magic to suit their needs.
- 1020: The Kirin Tor finally obtained the attention of the peoples when its members defeat some of Arkanrosa's Royal enforcers. Suddenly, the emperor found himself in a crisis. He arranged for a certain bearded and self-assured old man to pose as a powerful wizard and kept him around himself all the time, while ignoring the growing forces of the Kirin Tor.
- 1023: The emperor finally went to meet with the Kirin Tor for an encounter. The boys had heard about the "powerful wizard" and fled without engaging the fake. The enforcers then prowled the region, searching for any hints that would point to where the pieces of Tyrael might lie.
- 1025: After two years of fruitless searching, the enforcers managed to kidnap one of the children of the Kirin Tor and forced him into revealing his secrets under duress. But he lied, so that when the enforcers go look in the Southern Caverns beneath what is now Dingwalayo, they were overcome by a handful of fiends.
- 1030: It took these five more years before the enforcers captured another boy. When the boy said the secrets were in the Southern Caverns, he was tortured into confessing the truth: that it was hidden in a cave somewhere inside the depths of the Nicetheen Forest. A major scouting party was assembled to look for the secrets.
- 1031: The next year, the scouting party collided with another, which had been dispatched by a duke out to gain more power for himself, and both sides were devastated in a battle of jealousy. The duke then fled into hiding.
- 1032: King Jendin II rises to the throne.
- 1033: The Kirin Tor spellcasters return to the offensive, sending people into mass confusion with their spells. Jendin II uses his enforcers to restore order, but they could barely win, and they only managed to win when the Kirin Tor leader decided that he'd had enough of "this nonsense".
