	The Aslarians introduced the Tollorians--as well as some of the undeveloped peoples of the Southland Peninsula including the J'Lontz and the Emilians--to the methods large scale agriculture and used their city of Tollor (which they renamed New Rispith) as an outpost for trading the region's vast wealth of grain and lumber. They built the cities of Norlin and Garusk in 658 BT (128 BG) and 645 BT (115 BG) as trading centers to the far away lands of Arangoth ~~and Vallaria~~. The port city of Pearl (which was later renamed Ellure) was established in 475 BT (55 BG), and thrived as not only a port for Aslarian trade, but a cultural and artistic shrine of the area. The Aslarians taught the Tollorians the use of their alphabet with their Tollorian language instead of the archaic Teldanari hieroglyphs they had been using. The Aslarians also made sure to keep the various tribes of the region separate. In the year 530 BT (1 ER), a poor farmer named Polar had a vision that led him to the island of [[El-Ekki]] to receive a [[Ellurian Religion\|revelation from the gods]], which was the origin of El-Ekki's importance as a sacred place to the Tollorians.

	While the Aslarians had ruled with a relatively light hand for centuries, their policies began to change under the influence of a new cabal of Viziers that took power in the 204 BT (326 ER). They enacted policies to mandate the use of the Aslarian language for all public business and commerce, and suppress the native religion in favor of polytheism. These policies were deeply unpopular and sparked an uprising. The Aslarians were finally overthrown by the Tollorian people led by the legendary Kel Ellure in 198 BT (332 ER). Tollorians commemorate their liberation on the 21st day of Second Seed, the day that Kel Ellure's army captured the Tollorian capital. Over the next year and a half, Kel Ellure's army swelled as more people flocked to her banner, and she pushed the Aslarians back to the great fortress of Dashlirak. Though she wished to destroy the Aslarian fortifications lurking on the doorstep of her fledgeling nation, the siege became too costly to maintain and she was forced to admit defeat for the first time and abandon Dashlirak and return to Tollor City.

	The Southland War continues. By 470 (1000 ER) the tide had turned seriously against the exhausted Ellurians. The Capital of Ruflin City fell to the Aslarians in Sun's Dawn, and General Andros was slain in battle. King Cyran was captured after the battle and sentenced to death, and conducted himself with dignity and bravery at his execution. Many Ellurians fled to El-Ekki, where the remnants of the Ellurian High Council created a Government in exile. Aslar seized large swaths of Ellurian territory, expelled a great number of Ellurians from their land, and plundered captured cities to compensate their army. This created a refugee crisis, and many Ellurians who were able to book passage on a ship were given refuge in Arangoth and on Myst, creating two new towns in AngelSinHorna and Vekkilmaril respectively. Those unable to flee were forcibly relocated by the Aslarian army to an area of northeastern Aslar infamous for its poor, rocky soil. The Assi King of Aslar was sacrificed to the ~~Muns~~ at the end of the year and replaced with another astonishing candidate, a Zul Kiran orc.		The Southland War continues.

	The [[Alesian Imperium]], a nation previously unknown in Veth, arrived in Elluria from far across the Southern Sea in Hearthfire. The Ellurian Government in Exile had sent out emissaries secretly to several countries in search of military aid, and contacted the Alesians through intermediaries in Bahija. These fierce and disciplined warriors were said to have burned their boats on arrival in the Southland, sending a message that they were here to stay. The Ellurians and Alesians were also aided by the privateering Black Sheep airship and its owner, Resque Maessen. Though it was not widely known, the far-ranging Maessen was the one who put the Ellurians in contact with their saviours.

	The Alesians, under the leadership of General Larold Vertonthen and Prince Etaudus Paralor, inflicted a series of defeats on the Aslarians, pushing them back to the Aslarian fortress of Dashlirak. The Aslarians sued for peace, and negotiated a treaty that restored the boundaries of the two countries to their original positions before the war. The treaty recreated the kingdom of Tollor from the former Tollorian province as a buffer state between Aslar and Alesian Elluria. Treshire Vilgren, son of the deposed Winthorpe II, became King Treshire V of Tollor by agreement of the Alesians and Aslarians. The provinces of East Elluria, West Elluria, the former annexed Tyranori territory, and the the Northland became the new Alesian protectorate of Elluria. The peace settlement also acknowledged Emil's independence, effectively undoing the unification of the late 460s. By this time, the Northland was firmly under the control of the Alesians as well, and is considered part of Elluria. The Alesians made overtures of friendship toward the J'Lontzek giants, a marked change from the treatment they suffered under the Vilgren dynasty of Tollor. The treaty also called for the return of all displaced Ellurians from Aslar, and for all Aslarian troops still on Ellurian soil to return to Aslar.

	Aslarian troops mutinied when they heard of the terms of the peace treaty, and they captured and executed the Vizier who signed it. Dhakus Maribagh was recalled from retirement to lead troops to quell the mutiny. Upon meeting up with the mutineers, Maribagh's troops also mutinied and threatened to execute their commander if he did not join them. The mutineers seized the fortress of Dashlirak, and the Alesians laid siege to the mighty fortress that even Kel Ellure failed to conquer. Dhakus Maribagh led a breakout and escaped with most of his forces, and the Alesians demanded harsher peace terms. In the end, no treaty was officially ratified by either side due to the instability caused by the mutiny and the execution of one of the ruling Viziers, and an uneasy truce remained the status quo. Prince Etaudus Paralor, the new ruler of the Alesian protectorate state, ordered the execution of Sir Ekkelrin for treason, and put the Tollorian noble to death in gruesome fashion to serve as a lesson. Sir Ekkelrin's left limbs were chained to one cart and his right limbs to another, which were then pulled in opposite directions until he expired.

	King Eldryn drowned in the Rainbow River in a tragic accident. The Green Hills Plague erupted in Second Seed of 468 (998 ER), decimating the fertile farmlands of East Elluria. Without sufficient manpower to tend to the year's crop, there was a poor harvest. This led to famine and riots in the autumn and winter months, which the young Queen Laravel was ill-equipped to deal with. She issued a plea to neighboring countries to come to the aid of her starving people, which some interpreted as a sign of the Queen's weakness. Central authority in Elluria began to unravel as nobles started setting themselves up as local warlords, especially in the northern parts of the kingdom that had been the base of the deposed Vilgren dynasty's Imperialist supporters. Some Tollorian nobles referred to Laravel as the Dark Queen and resisted efforts to re-assert royal authority.		King Eldryn drowned in the Rainbow River in a tragic accident.

	The southern provinces of Tollor rebelled under the harsh rule of Winthorpe II. Imperialists under King Winthorpe fought the Loyalists under Sir Charles Ruflin. Winthorpe enlisted aid of Griffons from [[Griffon's Aerie]], but he was defeated at the battle of Potter's Hill. Sir Charles enlisted the aid of the peoples of the Northland, and a contingent of elven archers and J'Lontz giants countered the griffon assault.

Sir Ruflin was proclaimed as a hero of the kingdom, but he retired from public life after the war and declined to take a seat on the newly formed High Council. A High Council of nobles ruled briefly, but tensions between the Tollorian northern provinces and Ellurian southern provinces almost led to another war. The Province of West Elluria threatened to secede, and the young Sir Eldryn Ruflin, adopted Son of Sir Charles, impressed many with his eloquent oratory and skillful mediation of the crisis. The High Council offered Sir Eldryn the crown, and he became Eldryn I, King of the Tollorian and Ellurian peoples.

	A military coup in Tyranor shifted the balance of power to the mad and occasionally demonic General Redsword, who immediately began to build his Dark Army. He attacked [[Teldanar]], the long-time enemy of Tyranor, and took the Teldanari completely by suprise. Within a few days Queen ~~Liesha Zionne~~ was thrown into a prison in Yorklawn. The Dark Army then conquered [[Bahr]], and sent an ultimatum to King Eldryn demanding that he surrender or be destroyed. A powerful Tyranori force in the east soon defeated the Emilians, taking the cities of Arausch, Locand, and Marland within a matter of days. The Emilian army scattered and retreated to Lachstan. King Eldryn dispatched troops under Sir Roger Dulrin to Locand to begin the grim task of taking back Emil. Sir Charles Ruflin took command of a second force to relieve Lachstan, and then marched toward Arausch with a mix of Ellurian and Emilian forces. With victories at Arausch and Pine Marsh, the Ellurians were able to descend on the remaining Tyranori position at Marland. Redsword, outnumbered three to one, retreated back to Tyranor, where his forces were pinned against Akulek Ridge by a combined Ellurian-Teldanari force. Redsword's troops finally turned against their commander and forced his surrender. He was sentenced to death by the victorious allied forces, and his last words before being hanged were an ominous vow to reuturn. Tyranor was divided up between the victorious countries and ceased to exist as an independent kingdom.

They built the cities of Norlin and Garusk in 658 BT (128 BG) and 645 BT (115 BG) as trading centers to the far away lands of Arangoth and Vallaria. The port city of Pearl (which was later renamed Ellure) was established in 475 BT (55 BG), and thrived as not only a port for Aslarian trade, but a cultural and artistic shrine of the area. The Aslarians taught the Tollorians the use of their alphabet with their Tollorian language instead of the archaic Teldanari hieroglyphs they had been using.

Tollorians commemorate their liberation on the 21st day of Second Seed, the day that Kel Ellure's army captured the Tollorian capital. Over the next year and a half, Kel Ellure's army swelled as more people flocked to her banner, and she pushed the Aslarians back to the great fortress of Dashlirak. Though she wished to destroy the Aslarian fortifications lurking on the doorstep of her fledgeling nation, the siege became too costly to maintain and she was forced to admit defeat for the first time and abandon Dashlirak and return to Tollor City.		While the Aslarians had ruled with a relatively light hand for centuries, their policies began to change under the influence of a new cabal of Viziers that took power in the 204 BT (326 ER).

	Kel Ellure was crowned Queen of Tollor in 196 BT (334 ER), and became an icon of the Tollorian people. She declared that the Tollorian Kingdom's boundaries were to the sea at the west and south, to the mountains at the east, and to the Northland forest to the north. Kel Ellure was a spiritual leader as well as military leader to her people, and dated the new Tollorian calendar from the year of Gitaro's revelation to Polar rather than the year of her birth or coronation. She declared nine days of thanksgiving to the gods following her coronation and made a pilgrimage to the island of El-Ekki, which became the foundations of the Del-Ot festival. Kel Ellure was not only a female ruler in a patriarchal society, but a legendary figure loved by the entire nation. Many traditional proverbs and popular songs were attributed to Kel Ellure's authorship. The neighboring Allarian people so loved the Great Kel Ellure that they soon were known as 'Ellurians', and their cities of Lueril and Pearl were renamed Kelsville and Ellure respectively. Her reign was a peaceful one, with only a brief border dispute with the Kingdom of Emil in 143 BT (387 ER). There was a massive funeral in Tollor City upon her death in 135 BT (395 ER). Stories of her adventures are still told in many different lands to this day.		Kel Ellure was crowned Queen of Tollor in 196 BT (334 ER), and became an icon of the Tollorian people.

	The Southland War continues. By 470 (1000 ER) the tide had turned seriously against the exhausted Ellurians. The Capital of Ruflin City fell to the Aslarians in Sun's Dawn, and General Andros was slain in battle. King Cyran was captured after the battle and sentenced to death, and conducted himself with dignity and bravery at his execution. Many Ellurians fled to El-Ekki, where the remnants of the Ellurian High Council ~~creates~~ a Government in exile. Aslar seized large swaths of Ellurian territory, expelled a great number of Ellurians from their land, and plundered captured cities to compensate their army. This ~~creates~~ a refugee crisis, and many Ellurians who were able to book passage on a ship were given refuge in Arangoth and on Myst, creating two new towns in AngelSinHorna and Vekkilmaril respectively. Those unable to flee were forcibly relocated by the Aslarian army to an area of northeastern Aslar infamous for its poor, rocky soil. The Assi King of Aslar was sacrificed to the Muns at the end of the year and replaced with another astonishing candidate, a Zul Kiran orc.		The Southland War continues.

	The [[Alesian Imperium]], a nation previously unknown in Veth, arrived in Elluria from far across the Southern Sea in Hearthfire. The Ellurian Government in Exile had sent out emissaries secretly to several countries in search of military aid, and contacted the Alesians through intermediaries in Bahija. These fierce and disciplined warriors were said to have burned their boats on arrival in the Southland, sending a message that they were here to stay. The Ellurians and Alesians were also aided by the privateering Black Sheep airship and its owner, Resque Maessen. Though it was not widely known, the far-ranging Maessen was the one who put the Ellurians in contact with their saviours.
