Timeline and synopsis of events in the Racewar as recorded by Janus of Beldrem

5 CR - King Horen and Queen Annya give birth to Prince Caleb, the last born High King of Dryg-Gwra.
3 CR - Dolfanc break through into the caves of Brek-Tek-Vwrga taking the Bragdwrgan's completely by surprise. A simlutaneous attack in the warrens of the Mogdwrgans causes two things: Aleot Holdenspur, long wishing to have been an Ivory Pathmage of the Silver Hand, prays to Al'Ron Ul'Leth to aid his people against the massacre taking place. Al'ron sends some of the Magusel to battle the Dolfanc that are slaughtering the helpless Mogdwrgan's. A strange event happened that caused the Mogdwrgan's to gain a sympathetic magic trait, allowing them to now become mageborne, but it removed the resistance to sorcery they shared with their Bragdwrgan cousins. Aleot was the first to feel it, and he felt it in strength. Summoning all the power he sensed coursing through his blood, he created a massive explosion. When the smoke and dust cleared, the warrens were empty, Dolfanc and all. A pair of strange Brag seeing this smiled briefly at the thought that their cousins were exterminated. The two went inside Brek-Tek-Vwrga, and in a suicide pact, sealed the doors with ancient magics that left them now unopenable . (Aleot Holdenspur actually transported the entire population of Kelfren, as they now called themselves, to the area currently called the Kelfren Hills. In doing this, he was also killed, not ready to control that amount of power, so it was ages before another Kelfren understood the strange sensations and abilities that occasionally awoke within one of their kind.) With the gates to Brek-Tek-Vwrga now sealed and the Mogdwrgans gone, there is no iron coming from the Brag's, and no communication with the rest of the unsuspecting west.
1 CR - King Horen sends an emissary to Brek-Tek-Vwrga via Choshu to see what has caused this sudden loss and why no scrying has been successful. A band of Klo-Choshu, disguised as the surface brethren, attack the mostly Nordren peace caravan as soon as they crossed the Nordren border into Choshu. They killed even the women and children, while leaving one woman to escaped to return back to Nordren. Tensions increase and skirmishes begin to erupt around the West. King Horen sends contingents of his troops to stop this and to bring peace back to West, however this leaves him thin at home.
Corten Rama Deyneira (The Day of Blood Rivers) - Queen Annya, caught in a spell of darkest sorcery, murders her husband King Horen and her son Prince Caleb before taking her own life. As King Horen is being murdered, a large force of Klo, also disguised as surface Choshu, storm the palace of Caer Derugar and slaughter all but a few inside.
The Racewar begins - With the seeds now lain the Choshu, while they are focusing on a surge of Dolfanc through the pass, are attacked by forces from Nordren to their west . The Brag's are occupied and have no ability to help anyone on the surface. The Island of Derugar is in turmoil and civil wars erupt from the baronies vying to take control of the power vaccum created by the death of King Horen. The Viking warriors of Northreach are beset upon by the Dragonlords and their monstrous steeds. It is the darkest time in the history of the West, and war rains down upon the poor souls for years to come, causing death and destruction.
