Moghesan History

Recorded history on Moghes has been rife with war and tension as two cousin sapient species have attempted to survive alongside one another with mixed results. Only time will tell if the Sinta'Unathi and Yeosa'Unathi will be doomed to follow their ancestors' footsteps, or if they may be able to break the cycle and thrive on an interstellar scale.

Pre-Krukzuz era (Pre-2062)

1937 C.E. Clan Skarathk discovers an ancient bunker believed to be thousands of years old, though it is difficult to determine when exactly it was built. Archaeologists are unable to decipher the writing. The bunker is widely believed to be unopenable. This discovery would be recorded in history as the Skarathk Door, though it is unknown what - if anything - lies behind it.

2027 C.E. Olono Gonzol Kotakoskin invents the first motorized boat.

The First Northern Union (2062-2135)

2062 C.E. Minor Sinta’Unathi clans unite to form the first major power, the Northern Union, headed by Clan Skarathk. The Northern Union, notably, includes several Yeosa’Unathi clans along the shore of the Moghesan Sea - the most influential being Clan Aogalar, who are given credit for uniting the Yeosan clans under the Union’s banner, and acting as the middlemen between the Sinta and their Yeosa brethren.

2067 C.E. The first car was invented by Kssith Azktsn, based on Yeosan boat designs.

2126 C.E. The Northern Union breaks out in a civil war after Arz Krsenthal - an already wildly popular clan leader - is caught cheating in the elections to determine the new leader of the Union, taking the office from Ksrk Orozor. Clan Aogalar uses this as an opportunity to make a grab for power, quickly becoming a threatening force almost rivaling Orozor’s own.

2135 C.E. The Northern Union collapses due to infighting after being unable to determine whether Clan Aogalar, Clan Krsenthal, or Clan Orozor should lead. Clan Orozor falls as their leadership is wiped out in the civil war. Clan Aogalar and the other Northern Union Yeosa’Unathi clans form the Coastal Union.

The Spread of Krukzuz (2142-2176)

2142 C.E. Arz Krsenthal is executed by Clan Aogalar by the order of Orgoth Gazana Aogalar, the leader of Clan Aogalar, for treason. Debate rises on whether or not the Coastal Union is truly the Northern Union, with a majority of Yeosa arguing for and a majority of Sinta arguing against.

2145 C.E. Former Sinta’Unathi clans grow distrustful of the Coastal Union due to their influence along the shorelines, their opinions already soured by their continued insistence that they are the true continuation of the Northern Union. Word spreads to southern Moghes, and discrimination against the Yeosa’Unathi starts to become a noticeable issue. Clan Izweski forges alliances with two smaller clans, offering protection in exchange for resources.

2157 C.E. A large, heavily damaged metal tube of unknown origin is found in the middle of the Rorsk Desert on the equator. There is minimal writing on it, including two symbols that had been seen on the previously discovered bunker. The purpose of the structure is unknown, though it is believed to be around the same age as the Skarathk Door. Clan Arzrak, under the rule of Zikon Arzak, opens up the area to tourists and makes significant profits in the process.

2164 C.E. The Coastal Union spreads as they reach out to more Yeosa’Unathi clans, offering strong alliances as their Sinta neighbors grow distrustful of them. The distrust from the Sinta only furthers the Yeosan unification. Clan Arzak begins work on a desert resort to capitalize off of their influx of tourism - Sinta from around the globe come to the Zrrn to bask in the heat and see the Rorsk Shell.

2168 C.E. Clan Izweski’s vassal clans, thriving under their rule, encourage others to join - they take on two more vassals in exchange for protection from the Coastal Union. Rampant anti-Yeosa propaganda begins to spread in the swamplands, forcing those outside of the Coastal Union to retreat there for safety. The Zrrn Summer Stones open to the public as a luxury resort for tourists, causing the Zrrn clan to become a particularly well-known name across the globe.

2172 C.E. Budding tensions between the Izweski Hegemony and the Coastal Union cause the Yeosa’Unathi to pick up more isolationist policies, hiking import taxes. What few Sinta residents the Coastal Union has are taxed heavier than their Yeosan neighbors, only worsening the situation between the Hegemony and the Union as both species begin to abuse their neighbor. Clan Zrrn's influence spreads to local clans, who attempt to make their own resorts as well.

2175 C.E. Clan Skarathk reaches out to other former Northern Union clans. Clan chief Zork Skarathk becomes famous for his diplomacy, and the Northern Republic is widely seen among the Sinta as the beginnings of a new Northern Union. These claims draw criticism from many residents of the Coastal Union, who had already seen their nation as such. With their influence dying out as neighboring clans begin to compete, the new Zrrn leader - Krro Zrrn - has spies sabotage a neighboring resort. Their main competition, Sun-Peak Stones, is shut down after the outbreak of a disease is traced back to their food. Ultimately, this only harms the desert economy.

2176 C.E. The Coastal Union expands, absorbing two Sinta’Unathi clans alongside a river in the process - discrimination within Coastal Union borders due to their history with the Northern Union severely harms their quality of living by increasing living expenses while almost eliminating their personal income.

The Coast War (2180-2227)

2180 C.E. Hegemon Iromonos Izweski calls out the Coastal Union for its poor treatment of Sinta’Unathi residents and begins a military campaign to liberate southern territories along the Moghesan Sea. Clan Zrrn uses the profits from the Zrrn Summer Stones to purchase the Sun-Peak Stones.

2183 C.E. The Coastal Union falls victim to a terrorist attack, widely believed to be from the Izweski Hegemony. A lack of evidence, however, prevents retaliation in fear of the Northern Republic taking advantage of the opportunity to claim parts of the shore.

2185 C.E. A band of 12 Yeosa terrorists perform a retaliatory strike on the Summer Arts Festival in Hegemony Territory. The Coastal Union is largely blamed by the public, despite disavowing the attack.

2186 C.E. The Izweski Hegemony continues to apply pressure to the Coastal Union; the Northern Republic establishes diplomatic ties with the Izweski Hegemony.

2189 C.E. Trro Izweski becomes popular among Republic citizens after a series of public appearances in their territory. His dedication to protecting his people as well as his pushing for better education subtly starts to influence the policies of the Northern Republic.

2194 C.E. Another band of Yeosa terrorists attempt an attack on the Hegemony, trying to burn down the Izweski Manor in their capitol of Skalamar. The Hegemon’s daughter and nine guards die in the blaze. The Zrrn Summer Stones shuts down after a major fire, devastating the desert economy and dealing significant damage to Clan Zrrn's hold on the region.

2195 C.E. The Izweski Hegemony attempts an invasion on the southern border of the Coastal Union, demanding revenge for the deaths of the Hegemon's daughter in the manor fire. The Northern Republic lends supplies to the Hegemony to aid in their war efforts. Historians would later call this The Coastal War.

2197 C.E. The Northern Republic votes to get more directly involved in the conflict, sending in a few squads of soldiers for backup. The Coastal Union begins working on a massive structure on the water.

Project Anchor (2199-2214)

2199 C.E. Izweski spies report that the major aquatic structure - codenamed Project Anchor - appears to be of military nature, raising concerns from the general Sinta population. Two major Yeosa cities from their southern border are secured by the Hegemony, and Republican military support strengthens into full participation in the war.

2203 C.E. Project Anchor receives significant progress as a small portion of it becomes officially inhabitable. Anti-air defenses are installed on Project Anchor after an attempted bombing is narrowly thwarted by timely backup from the shore. The Izweski territory begins to extend toward the shore, with only one major city in the way.

2207 C.E. The Hegemony's forces reach the shore as the Northern Union's borders begin to expand into former Coastal Union territory. Project Anchor makes rapid progress as it starts to become self-sustaining, with the risks of attack from foreign powers heavily reduced by protection from the Union Navy as well as its own anti-air weaponry.

2211 C.E. Parts of the southern shore are lost to the Izweski Hegemony, who are forced to expand their claim toward the east and west due to the lack of a decent navy. Project Anchor sees significant expansion, being about half the size of a city. Clan Krodozar allies with nearby clans with a series of trade deals - those that are hesitant to business are quickly knocked into submission thanks to the skill of tactician Ektok Krodozar.

2214 C.E. The Republic reaches the northern shore as they devote more resources toward territories closer to home, slowing down the Hegemony's expansion as a result. Project Anchor expands outwards, gaining even more floor space than before. Citizens rename Project Anchor to Sanctuary, reflecting its true name and purpose. Clan Krodozar's crusade has, by this point, caused their territory to grow by 20% with those who resist their rule being forced into slavery.

2217 C.E. The Coastal war’s ongoing damages have left the Yeosa population wary of living on the land. Many Yeosa'Unathi begin to live on boats in an attempt to avoid the battlefield that is the shore, with all of their major cities taking significant hits to their populations as a result. Sanctuary finds itself overpopulated, with many smaller families sharing apartments just to avoid living on the streets.

2222 C.E. The Coastal Union has lost all but one city - Aogazlr - on the shoreline. An extension of Sanctuary begins construction to accommodate its growing population. The Northern Republic offers a treaty with the Coastal Union, to the criticism of the Izweski Hegemony.

2223 C.E. The Izweski Hegemony slows down its seige on Aogazlr after heavy criticism from the Northern Republic when a stray missile struck a hospital. Their speech notably avoids saying that the war is over, or even coming to a close, leading many to believe they seek the full annihilation of the Yeosa’Unathi. Clan Krodozar discovers a rich copper deposit in the southern parts of the Rorsk desert and begins a mining operation utilizing their bulk slave labor.

2227 C.E. Under political pressure from their allies, Hegemon Zorris Izweski signs a peace treaty with President Astoritas Olga Golgath of the Coastal Union. The Northern Republic and the Coastal Union praise this move, though it strikes controversy in the Izweski Hegemony over concerns of further attacks from the Yeosa’Unathi.

Krodozar Krukzuz rises to the global stage (2230-2255)

2230 C.E. Clan Krodozar expands its mining operations. Smaller clans start working under them for profit, and much of their copper is sold to Clan Zrrn. Parts of the Sanctuary expansion become inhabitable, but do little to alleviate the overpopulation. A separate ore deposit that's rich in lead is found in Krodozar teritory.

2235 C.E. Clan Krodozar officially opens trade with the Izweski Hegemony, supplying them with copper and lead. Despite the Hegemony's offers, Krodozar refuses to become a part of their nation. Aogazlr's population begins to rise as families leave Sanctuary, with complaints about overpopulation. Work begins to create lower floors of Sanctuary.

2237 C.E. Clan Zrrn shuts down the Sun-Peak Stones for maintenance temporarily, causing controversy among tourists. To bolster their economy, Chief Grst Zrrn begins work on a massive solar field, titled the Rorsk Sands Solar Farm.

2238 C.E. Sun-Peak stones are reopened to the public early in the year. Northern Republic President Ozzo Ikisiki is among several VIP guests at its grand opening. Due to overpopulation concerns, the Coastal Union places a legal maximum of one daughter or two sons per family.

2243 C.E. Work on the Rorsk Sands Solar Farm is completed. Its massive power output is more than Clan Zrrn ever needed - neighboring clans are provided electricity at a price, alleviating the desert clan's economic reliance on tourism. Aogazlr Pier opens up, and quickly becomes one of the leading amusement parks due to being the only major one along the shore.

2245 C.E. A second coastal amusement park attempts to open in Izweski territory, but is refused by the Hegemon with concerns of national security. The Coastal Union profits from Izweski anti-Yeosa sentiment for possibly the first time, as Aogazlr becomes one of the wealthiest cities. Sanctuary begins a major construction project, adding lower floors to the structure for more housing.

2249 C.E. A Republican journalist exposes the Izweski Hegemony's military for suddenly building up their armory in recent years despite being at peace. The Izweski Navy is officially announced, bolstering a fleet of ships larger than that of the Coastal Union. Tensions with the Northern Republic rise due to this occuring during a time of peace.

2253 C.E. Pollution in the River Rorsk becomes a major concern among desert clans, who begin work on water filtration. A diplomat reaches out to the Coastal Union in hopes of developing a solution, but is intercepted by the Izweski Hegemony.

2255 C.E. The Krodozar diplomat is released by the Izweski Hegemony, and returns with plans for a water filtration system despite having never reached the Coastal Union. Tensions between the Coastal Union and the Hegemony rise. The Northern Republic offers to help escort future diplomats to ensure they reach their proper destination.

The Union War (2258-???)

2258 C.E. Clan Chief Gaona Arazaki Aogalar visits the Skarathk Door during a diplomatic trip to the Northern Republic, commenting on the beauty of the land and the friendliness of the people, helping improve the relations between the Northern Republic and the Coastal Union. The Izweski faith of Zh'akh begins to rise in popularity among the desert clans.

2261 C.E. Northern Republic president Okzo Izzksn visits Aogazlr with his clan, enjoying a weeklong vacation among diplomatic talks. The Izweski Hegemony criticizes this move as sucking up to an enemy.

2263 C.E. Tensions rise further between the Northern Republic and the Izweski Hegemony after the arranged fiancee of Siski Izzksn is connected to a powerful business within the Hegemony with a large number of shares owned by the Izweski clan. The wedding is canceled.

2267 C.E. New laws are passed to make immigrating to the Northern Republic from the plains of the Hegemony more difficult, as well as increasing taxes on imports from the Hegemony.

2271 C.E. Northern Republic president Kao Rkash is assassinated shortly after being elected. The Izweski Hegemony is blamed by the public, despite fervent denial, due to the heritage of the assassin.

2272 C.E. The Northern Republic declares war on the Izweski Hegemony, with support from the Coastal Union. Clan Zrrn and Clan Krodozar side with the Republic and the Hegemony, respectively. The Northern Republic attacks the Hegemony's northern border.

2275 C.E. The Izweski Hegemony bombs Aogazlr, resulting in retaliation from the Coastal Union's navy as well as emphasis on constructing lower floors of Sanctuary.
