Helloooooo! I'm back!

To my dear readers:

Perseus 12: I wonder if there would be Spartacus on Falmart... where he or she led a slave revolt... and they exodus... to look for their new home... Will it be like Game of Thrones... where petty kingdoms fought each other for dominance... makes me imagine if Western Desert (a combination of Ancient Egypt and Ottoman Empire) would become the Principality of Dorne... or if there's a House Lannister...

A: If you wish I could add such a character like Spartacus (Do you have any idea for his/her name?). And yes, history is divided into different time periods, and one of them would be similar to GoT. Adding House Lannister would be cool, since I love Tyrion, and actually the Tpyge Empire (shown below) is based on ancient Egypt.

Cooldude101011: Interesting.

A: Thx.

Just a Crazy-Man: Nice more please bravo.

A: Thank you! I'll do my best to cough up more chapters.


IC -4520s

If you thought that the humans took one look at the bloody battlefield and decided to join hands to build a better tomorrow, then you're wrong.

Because we're humans.

Without a common enemy, the combined army breaks apart. Each commander leads his men back to their homeland, with nothing to show for their efforts except a few pieces of trinkets. For most of the treasures the elves had left before the war were taken by the monsters and hidden in forgotten caverns, never to be seen again.

The damage caused by the war was so severe that a whole generation of young men was lost. For the next few decades, it was all the humans could do to rebuild their shattered lives. Those who survived viewed it as a meaningless campaign that took countless lives, but gave nothing in return.


IC -4530s

Farole, a hero from the Human-Monster war, starts his own kingdom. He was soon joined by dozens of city-states that fought with him during the war. He also owned large swaths of choice elvish forest taken from dead elves and elves that happened to die a gruesome death after encountering him. Utilizing these resources as a stepping stone, he trained a strong army levied from the local population, preparing for the day of bloodshed to come again.


IC -4480s

Farole's preparations were finally complete. Using his powers as a Champion of Palapon, he launched a series of successful campaigns against his neighbors. Rapidly subjugating half a hundred city-states, he expanded his kingdom to three times its original size in just a few years. As an Apostle, he had a lifespan of a thousand years, with which he plans to spend conquering the whole continent and forging an Empire greater than anyone had ever seen on Falmart.

Furious at being used, the god of revenge takes away Farole's powers and swears never to choose an Apostle again. The 'immortal' reverts back to his actual body, that of a hundred-year-old man, and dies. His son claims that the spirit of Farole now lives in his body, and crowns himself the first Emperor of the Tpyge Empire.

Tpyge is the first, but not the last empire Falmart has.


IC -4450s

Farole's grandson reasons that since the Elvish High Queen is dead, the ancient treaty is now void. Mass hunting of elves begin as elvish women are considered exceptionally beautiful by human standards. This results in the elves becoming increasingly distant from humans, often living deep in forests far away from human communities.


IC -4300s

Start of the Bronze age. The more durable metal gradually replace copper for weapons, tools, and utensils.


IC -4060s

The tyrannical rule of Farole's descendants cause the nobilities to rise up and overthrow the half-mad emperor. They choose his brother to be the new Emperor.


IC -4000s

Tpyge produces the first Empress in history. Not much is known about her, for those who went after her painted her as a vain, cruel, and indecisive ruler. The validity of such records are dubious, of course.


IC -3900s

The 26th emperor orders the construction of huge triangular monuments later known as pyramids. It is unknown if these strange structures were meant to be fortresses, tombs, or a stargazing platform.

Maybe they were actually meant for aliens. Who knows?


IC -3740s

The second Civil War of Tpyge, caused when the emperor tried to impose a 60% tariff on grain. Apparently Farole's children weren't that suited to be rulers. Fed up with successive generations of idiotic and cruel emperors, the people of the empire revolted and set up a system where the people decides the future of the country. Although it has its flaws, it would be copied by Tpyge's successor and refined to a senate system.


IC -3600s

The earliest records of written words. A few hieroglyph was found on the walls of a ruined toilet. Later historians compared it with other sources, and deduced that it was written by a Tpyge poet.

Here I sit and contemplate, should I shit or masturbate?

Poetic.


IC -3500s

Remember the Wangs? That small, defeated tribe has triumphed over internal disputes, the small Ice Age, and has now grown into a veritable empire on their own. Claiming the fertile plains of the lower Torz river, they started their own dynasty, Shang.

Due to their rich lands that produce an abundance of rice, they become the richest and most populous countries at the time.


IC -3350s

Contact is established between the Tpyge Empire and colonies on the Southern Islands. Tpyge, being an empire, naturally demands vassalship from the Islanders. But instead of bowing, the countless city-states dotting the Souther Islands join hands to form the Mesogeikos Alliance in order to protect themselves.

Inevitably, war breaks out between the two opposing powers. At first, the Tpygians had more knowledge of warfare and a stronger army. They took one look at the inferior weaponry of the Islanders and thought that they would be a pushover. However, while Tpyge fields a bigger army, the Alliance' mastery of seafaring prevented any sizable invasion of their homeland.

And as Phillip II of Spain learned painfully, if you can't land an army on an island, you couldn't conquer it.


IC -3330s

When their fifth invasion fleet is sent beneath the waves by the Mesogians, the Tpygians were split into two factions. The higher classes advocate building a better navy to conquer the Southern Islands, while the ordinary citizens, who actually do the fighting, argues for a cease-fire.

Tension reached an all-time high when the citizens refused to be conscripted into the new navy despite threats of being jailed for treason. The threats were ignored, and the navy had no choice but the fill their ranks with inferior mercenaries.

But the tipping point came when a fire breaks out on the new fleet under construction. The generals immediately accused the pacifists of sabotage since there's no way an accidental flame can take out a whole fleet of eighty ships. Leaders of the pro-peace factions were arrested, causing the people to riot.

As the Tpygians were fighting each other in their harbors, the Allied fleet launched a full-scale attack on every Tpyge coastal position, rapidly seizing large swaths of sealine. It turns out that the fire was started by Mesogian infiltrators using a special type of fire that cannot be extinguished by conventional means in an attempt at causing a Tpygian civil war.

When the rioting are subdued, the Tpygians had lost three-quarters of their coastal cities and all control of the sea.


IC -3290s

Among the Northern Tribes, a treat made by adding honey to cow milk, then repeated freezing then stirring the mixture starts to gain popularity. Ice cream, anybody?


IC -3230s

For the past hundred years, the Allied fleet has conducted countless raids on the Tpygian coastline in an attempt to destroy their economy. While they fail to bring the Empire down, they successfully drew a large amount of Tpygian troops from the mainland to the seaside, allowing the seafarers to continue with the next part of their plan.


IC -3210s

The Alliance provide weapons and funds to the demihuman slaves of the Tpygians, inducing them to start a rebellion within the Empire. As most of the Empire's forces are at by the coast, the demihumans quickly swept through the interior of the Empire, finally bringing it down on its knees.

The Empire surrendered to the Alliance, marking the end of a hundred-plus years of conflict.

Interestingly, the Alliance chose not to subjugate the Empire. Instead, it would become part of the Alliance, with its own say and political standing. Mesogians were encouraged to move to the mainland, and Tpygians was likewise invited to live in the Southern Islands.

Such a decision helped integrate the lifestyle of both civilizations, creating a strong, open-minded society that was on par with the Shang Dynasty's numbers.

It was also the birth of the senate system, a combination of both the Empire and Alliance's ruling system, where each member of the alliance sent a representative to speak for them before the other city-states.

Ironically, the demi-humans who overthrew the Empire was once more subjugated and forced to be a second class citizens. Still, it's definitely an upgrade from being slaves.


IC -3160s

A Mesogian exploration ship sails into the eastern seas, where they encounter a race of short, black-haired humans. What would happen as the two great empires have finally come into contact with each other?


Another chapter done. I hope you enjoyed it! :)
