Irya’dell

Immortal Freedom > Artilum Tem > Star Cluster > Tyrir > Erelon

Irya’dell is the capital city and seat of power for the Erelan Empire on Erelon. Irya’dell is dominated by ancient, gargantuan trees, shaped into homes as they grew by erelan keepers in the form of hollow alcoves in the trunks. Buildings made of stone, granite, and metal fill in the space in between the trees, aesthetically integrated to appear part of the rainforest.

At the centre of Irya’dell is an enormous tree, its canopy towering over all others. The Temple of Ay’driel is built under the tree’s roots, its courtyard spilling out onto the forest floor in front of the tree. An Erelan Empire military camp is permanently set up within view of the Temple of Ay’driel in a nearby clearing.

History

11,000 BC

The appearance of aeyen catches the Erelan Empire by surprise, as the aeyen, A’aena Edhil, and the Ruling Houses of A’aena Edhil seemingly came into existence out of nowhere—a fully-fledged species and civilization suddenly living on the shores of Ell Caelora. While their relationship with erelen had been lost to history, aeyen felt a kinship with erelen, and the two species soon learned to coexist.

5388 BC

Erelen and aeyen explorers falls upon a group of kataal on Hosgun during a deep space exploration mission to Unôd. Only a few members of the expedition survive the encounter. Upon their return to Erelon, the survivors omit many details of their encounter, in the hopes that no one will venture out to Unôd again. The falsified report is entered into the archives of both the Erelan Empire and the Ruling Houses of A’aena Edhil, and the solar system is promptly regulated to history.

1013 BC

After observing t’av from afar for millennia, the Erelan Empire establishes first contact with t’av as the dromedary species begins building interstellar starships. Erelen offer their knowledge of crystals and advanced technology to t’av in exchange for t’av culture and the natural resources on Azod, beginning what would become a long-standing friendship between the two species.

503 BC

Ildilya Moonstone retires from her position as Elin’sahra. Her apprentice, Delsara Dawnbreath becomes the new Elin’sahra of the Erelan Empire.

26 BC

The Erelan Empire establishes first contact with the Terran Republic, after a terran expedition stumbles upon an old erelan research satellite in orbit around Zascoeth. Erelen offer their knowledge of crystals and magic to terrans, while terrans impress their ideologies and intrepid spirit onto erelen. The Terran Republic is introduced to the T’av Collective, as well as all known worlds and peoples in the Tyrir and Huk’Va solar systems.

26 years after first contact between the Terran Republic and the Erelan Empire, the Coalition of Planets is formed, marking the beginning of the Age of Cooperation and of a new calendar, starting at year 0. The Coalition of Planets is primarily a terran initiative, and is made up of the Terran Republic, the Erelan Empire, and the T’av Collective. The Ruling Houses of A’aena Edhil and ador are also members through the Erelan Empire. The primary purpose of the Coalition of Planets is to deliberate on decisions which affect all nations and people within the Coalition of Planets, while also encouraging trade and communication between nations.

Elin’sahra Delsara Dawnbreath institutes a series of sweeping reforms to the Erelan Empire, including the dismantling of strict gender roles for the priesthood of Ay’driel and for keepers. She also works to reorganize the Erelan Empire’s military structure, getting rid of the antiquated enforcers, and proposing new hierarchal military and peacekeeping ranks with huntresses at their centre. Her reforms are ill-received by older generations of erelen, but well-received by those hoping to strengthen ties with the Terran Republic.

91

The Erelan Empire and the Ruling Houses of A’aena Edhil partner with the Terran Republic to form the Psionic Education and Regulation League—an organization dedicated to the training and regulation of magic users, specifically terran recondites, who had proven to be a problem for all the nations in the star cluster over the last century.

150

The Terran Republic partners with the Erelan Empire to expand the Erelan Empire’s existing holdings in the Tyrir and Huk’Va solar systems to accommodate an influx of terran researchers and colonists.

300

Three centuries of colonization are starting to have a negative impact on the Terran Republic, as well as their relationship with other nations. While initially charmed by their intrepid nature, Erelan Empire and T’av Collective politicians begin to openly share their criticisms regarding terran colonialism. They see terran expansion as being fuelled by greed rather than curiosity. Relations between the 3 nations remained cordial, though tensions rise with each new terran colony.

379

The Erelan Empire offers some of its soldiers as shock troops to assist in defending colonies in the Huk’Va solar system, as well as some of its more battle-hardened recondites.

425

The Erelan Empire provides aid in the form of supplies and provisions, to help in war efforts against the Hold.

442

The Nox’zh’r Apocalypse ravages the residents of Irya’dell.

The majority of the Worldbreaker crashes into Erelon. Its impact triggers catastrophic seismic activity and spawns megatsunamis that scour the seas of Erelon. The skies fill with clouds of hot dust, ash, and steam. Material re-enters Erelon’s atmosphere after leaving orbit, and vaporises upon re-entry, igniting wildfires across the planet. Intense and chaotic weather events cover the globe, from acid rain to deadly hurricanes. Almost all erelen, aeyen, and k’ohma on Erelon are killed, and all life on Erelon faces extinction.
