Modern History of (Not Europe)

 * The Revolution
 * 14 TE, The Nanlun Rebellion : Just like Nanlun is considered a pale reflection of La Ville, it’s very popular these days to call the Nanlun Rebellion a disappointing precursor to the Galician Revolution. In reality the demands of the Nanlun rebels were quite modest.
 * 0 AL, Day 0: In the Republican Calendar history begins with the execution of the king. The anniversary of this day is King’s Day. This is, strictly speaking, neither a holiday, nor any kind of day. The Republican calendar begins the day after King’s Day and ends the day before. The National Assembly suggests that this “day” be used for reflecting on the prices we’ve all had to pay to make the Revolution a reality.
 * 0 AL, Choler Day (2 months after): The day of the storming of the Winter Palace and the murder of most members of the National Assembly. An unmitigated disaster for almost everyone.
 * 0 AL, The Great Agitation: The period preceding Choler Day. During this period the people committed to as of yet unseen highs of violence for the sake of remaking Galician society.
 * 7 AL, Discovery of the New World: The initial contact between the worlds occurred just off the coast of Bellatoa's Capital. The Sunrise fleet, with the help of the Tarowak had expanded Eastward, looking for further ports and hideouts on the off chance that a full scale war between the Fleet and the Mandate should break out. Instead what they found was the Bellatoan Capital, which was raided and nearly sacked before the Fleet realized that Bellatoa had nothing they would consider worth taking.
 * 7 AL, Assassination of the High Lord and subsequent Rebellion (Year 5, plus 5 months): The conquest of a Bellatoan city punctured the air of invincibility that the High Lords of Bellatoa had cultivated for generations. The result was a new wave of rebellious thoughts, which inevitably lead to rebellious action. The Bellatoan response to this was fairly standard: kill everyone even loosely associated with the rebels and then declare that the rebellions had been a myth. The rebellions were crushed but their memory wasn't. This began a wave of defections from Bellatoa.
 * 10 AL, Founding of Puerto Lejo: Puerto Lejo is infamous for declaring its independence on the same day that it was founded. The Port would have been crushed in its infancy if Lesser Galicia hadn't been embroiled in both a civil war and several external wars. By the time Galicia returned to stability the sting of the loss had lessened and people began to realize that Puerto Lejo probably wasn't worth the trouble. Puerto Lejo had also established, not a navy, but a loose alliance of pirate captains that agreed to come to its defense if it were threatened.
 * 24 AL, The Death of Thaudh (Year 24): Despite Bellatoa's lessened internal cohesion Thaudh was eventually beaten into submission and incorporated into the territories of Bellatoa. The integration of Thaudic territories went smoothly because many peoples who had been treated poorly found that they were suddenly on equal footing with their former oppressors. Many politicians of Thaudh were tried and executed and anti magic sentiments were stamped out, but many of the institutions of Thaudh remained intact. One exception was the Thaudhic Secret Police, whose job had been to track down and kill magic users. By the time they were discovered to be more than a rumor they'd already relocated.
