-155: The Great Flood

-131: Formation of Begnion
Altina, one of the Three Heroes who defeated the Dark God, became the first Queen of Begnion.

-95: Birth of the Apostle
Altina’s granddaughter Yoram predicted the arrival of a great famine, and her prediction was confirmed.

Yoram was known and worshipped as the Apostle- the one who could converse with the Goddess.

0: Begnion Empire established
In the name of the Goddess’s chosen, the Apostle, the senate declared that all the regions outside of Goldoa were to be ruled by Begnion.

The Begnion theocracy and empire was established, with the Apostle as its Empress. The first Empress was Altina’s descendant, Apostle Meshua.

160~250: The Golden Age of Begnion
The discrimination against the Laguz greatly increased over the years, and the Laguz’s hatred of Beorc rule reached its peak.

The independent Kingdom of Goldoa continually protested to the senate about the treatment of the Laguz, but to no avail. Within Begnion there appeared a Beorc movement to remove the power and property of Laguz.

The senate, stating themselves as perfect beings who were closest to the Goddess since ancient times, declared that the Zunanma were “humans” and that they, themselves, were also “humans”. Very quickly this inspiring name spread across the whole of Begnion and was eventually officially accepted. In comparison to themselves, the Laguz were seen to be closer to the beasts and were referred to as “sub-humans”.

320: Start of the Great Laguz Movement
In order to find new lands, the Laguz steadily started leaving Begnion.

Many of the beast tribe headed to the distant forests of Gallia, and some of the bird tribe escaped to the unknown southern islands.

350: First War of Gallia
The senate sent soldiers to diminish the power of the beasts who had escaped to Gallia.

However, the beasts used the forest terrain to their advantage and engaged in guerrilla warfare, leading to a fierce battle with the Begnion soldiers.

352: Laguz Emancipation Movement
The remaining Laguz in Begnion, encouraged by the battle at Gallia, started a movement to liberate the enslaved Laguz.

Within the senate there were those who defended the Laguz, and opinions were divided.

As a result, the inner disputes escalated and the Gallia expeditionary soldiers were temporary forced to withdraw.

355: Formation of Gallia
Solhaut of the Lion clan was pushed to become the leader of Gallia’s beast tribe and, with the support of Goldoa, Gallia was established.

360: Bird tribes find new residence
Encouraged by the formation of Gallia, the birds who had escaped to the southern islands began to call their comrades that remained in Begnion to escape.

The bird tribes slowly began to gather at the island known as Phoenicis, and their independence steadily rised.

Same year: Second War of Gallia
Worried about the current state of affairs, Begnion sent more soldiers on an expedition to Gallia.

However, before the beasts’ guerilla tactics, the battle was indecisive just like before.

385: Formation of Phoenicis
Taking advantage of the confusion caused by war, the birds push the Hawk Hols to become their king and, at the island of Phoenicis, established their own country.

390: Formation of Crimea
The Begnion senate divided into two. Led by the powerful senator Caradock, the side that wished to find peace with the Laguz became independent.

At Crimea they formed their own country, and made peace with Gallia. At the same time they began to make up with their motherland, Begnion.

395: Signing of the Peace Treaty
Begnion and Gallia signed a peace treaty.

400: Kingdoms of Crimea, Gallia and Phoenicis established
The Kingdom of Crimea, Kingdom of Gallia and Kingdom of Phoenicis were officially recognised as countries.

At the same time, within Begnion, the voices of those who wish to re-evaluate the position of Laguz began to steadily rise.

405: Formation of Daein
The view of Beorc and Laguz equality increases in popularity, leading to the loss of power of those who back the sub-human view.

Led by the senator Hengist they left for independence and established their own country at Daein.

410~425: Daein-Crimea War
Daein requested for Begnion’s aid to invade Gallia, but Begnion refused.

Daein also requested of Crimea, but was refused as well.

Realising that they could not defeat Gallia by themselves, Daein invaded their neighbour Crimea instead.

However, due to Crimea’s strong resistance, the war was indecisive.

The war continued for 5 long years, before both countries decided to avoid destroying one another, and so ended the war.

420: Formation of Kilvas
Because of differences within the bird tribes, the Ravens left Phoenicis. At the nearby island of Kilvas they established their own country.

425: Begnion Empire’s invasion
Feeling that their dominance has started to fade, the Begnion Empire, using the Goddess’s name, sent troops to begin an invasion to restore their dominance of the continent.

The invasion started with new powers Daein and Kilvas.

428: Kilvas’ surrender
Kilvas refused Phoenicis’ reinforcements and surrendered to Begnion.

Also the Daein troops, concentrated at the capital of Nevassa, continued the resistance.

432: Tellius continental war
Believing Begnion’s dominance over the continent would not bode well, Crimea decided to ally with Daein, and declared war against Begnion.

Begnion’s battle with Crimea and Daein erupted.

Although Begnion’s might was unshaken, but due to the involvement of the Laguz of Gallia, Phoenicis and Kilvas, the war was prolonged and continued for numerous decades.

470: Formation of Serenes
The citizens of Serenes protested against Begnion’s war, which was done in name of the Goddess.

Because they doubted the existence of the Apostle, they ended up angering the senate and became at opposing sides with them.

Finally, the citizens of Serenes established their own independent country, although the battle of the validity of the Apostle never ended.

478: Treaty of Sarasa, Kingdoms of Daein, Kilvas and Serenes established
The war entered a seemingly neverending state. Begnion, worried about their great losses, finally decided to find a way to stop the war.

In the end, by the intervention of Goldoa, peace talks were held within the Sarasa region of Goldoa.

Begnion signed a treaty of peace, with the conditions that they had to return their conquered lands to Daein and Kilvas and recognise them as official countries.

595: Misaha’s ascension
Apostle Misaha became the 36th Empress of Begnion.

624: Laguz Emancipation Act
Attacking the senate who were slow to act with regards to Laguz slavery, Apostle Misaha declared the Laguz Emancipation Act.

The Apostle’s voice was powerful. The senate could no longer ignore the cries of the country and ordered the release of all the Laguz slaves.

625: Serenes Massacre
Apostle Misaha was assassinated.

The senate declared this to be the doing of the Serenes citizens who doubted the existence of the Apostle.

The furious Begnion citizens ravaged the Serenes Forest and the Kingdom of Serenes fell in a few days.

626: Daein’s great change
Within Daein, various mysterious changes occurred.

General Gawain of the Four Riders mysteriously vanished, along with his fiancée.

A plague gripped Daein, resulting in countless deaths, including deaths of the King and almost all of the royal family.

Same year: Bird tribes’ oath
To avenge the Serenes Massacre, Phoenicis began pillaging nearby Begnion ships. Also Kilvas took advantage of the situation and pillaged relentlessly.

Within Begnion, awareness of the the Bird tribes’ actions steadily rised.

627: Ashnard’s ascension
Ashnard, the sole survivor of the Daein royal family, became the 13th King of Daein.

Same year: Wyvern rider Shiharam’s desertion
The holy wyvern riders of Begnion, led by Shiharam, deserted for Daein.

King Ashnard awarded the title of Palace Knights to Shiharam and his men.

640: Sanaki’s ascension
Apostle Sanaki became the 37th Empress of Begnion.

At the same time Duke Persis, Sephiran, as the prime minister and leader of the senate, became the aide of the young Empress (and also the youngest Empress in history).

645: Mad King’s war
Daein attacks its neighbour Crimea.
