History

The history of Termanistan may be divided into eras, most of which may be subdivided into dynasties, which may then be subdivided by reigning emperor.

First Era (0 - 37,861) - Reign of Yilbechar

The dragon Yilbechar founded the city on a proto-plane of his own creation. His motivations were both to protect the world from his experiments and to protect his experiments from the world. With time he invited friends and colleagues, and the city grew to become a teeming haven for academic discussion, experimentation and scholarship.

No exact census has ever been conducted, but it is believed the city surpassed the one million inhabitants mark within this era.

A growing fraction of the population gradually lost faith in Yilbechar's ability to take care of the city, and in 37,845 the First War broke out. After 16 years of civil war Yilbechar's private sanctum was breached by a group of highly skilled assassins. A magical bomb was planted, and the dragon was erased from existence.

The faction who won the war - the Brotherhood of the Synod appointed their leader, the elven arcanist Teroniel Dellamanor as the first Emperor.
