[edit] Reign of King Horador I
- 47: King Horador I moved immediately to consolidate his rule, and put down a revolt led by an alliance of rebellious nobles.
- 49: The Vigor, Energy, and Force tribes united to challenge the new threat from the civilized tribes. King Horador I was defeated in a major engagement, forcing him to give concessions.
- 50: Undeterred, King Horador I took the offensive. Yet again, he was defeated, and in the resulting treaty lost all of what was once the Perception tribe.
- 52-53: Emboldened by their successes, the barbarian tribe leaders attacked each other. The leader of the War tribe cast the Ghoul tribe in a particularly bad position as a traitor to the side of King Horador I, and, driven to a frenzy, the other tribes proceeded to eliminate it from the political map.
- 56: Learning from what had happened, King Horador I pulled one of his own tricks: he married off one of his daughters to a barbarian tribe leader of the Health tribe so that the two could improve relations, but right before the wedding he ordered one of his men to poison her. She died while in bed with the tribal leader immediately following the marriage ceremony. The other tribal leaders accused him of the murder and of ruining one of the few chances of getting a peace with the Union, and so forced him to step down. As the father of the dead daughter, King Horador I was entitled to a piece of the land of the eliminated Health tribe. In the meantime, by sharing in the spoils of the other tribes, King Horador I befriended the leaders of the other tribes.
- 58: King Horador I adopted the policy of assimilation of the barbarian tribes by letting its peoples enter his own Union and thus share in the glory of civilization, especially the blooming city of Horadrum.
- 60: King Horador I led a repulsion against invading Gorens from the north. In the truce, the Gorens agreed to join in King Horador I's army, despite their constant ridicule of the weird-looking humanoids.
- 64: One of the barbarian tribes, Energy, saw that the policy of assimilation would be a danger to its continued survival, and thus rallied together another alliance, this time among the Energy, Wealth, and Devotion tribes. They led another attack against the Union but were repulsed by the combined forces of King Horador I and the Gorens. King Horador I died in the engagement, however, thereby passing on the throne to King Horador II.
