==Dwarvish History (YK1-YK820)==

The earliest written history dates back to more than 1200 years before Narek, and is from ancient rune-carved tablets from the old Dwarven Kingdom of Krondheim.  These tablets encode the histories of Dwarven kings and heros, and from these tablets historians have deduced the following:
  
* Humans had a tribal culture on the isles and on the eastern shores below the mountains and worshiped the spirits of their ancestors.
* Halflings had a tribal culture on the plains north of Shadow Wood and worshiped the spirits of their ancestors.
* Elves had a tribal culture in the forest of shadow wood and worshiped the spirits of their ancestors.
* Dwarves ruled Krondheim (now Estvald) and worshiped the Elemental pantheon.
* Gnomes ruled Green Hills and worshiped the Elemental pantheon.
* Giants ruled Westvald and worshiped the Elemental pantheon.
* Humanoids had a tribal culture in the Northern forest and worshiped the Elemental pantheon.

Some events:

* Circa YK 500 ~ Nation of Prolia is founded from a loose association of tribes.  The tribes build and man the watch towers along the northern forest.

* Circa YK 600 ~ Prolia explores and begins to raid the coastal waters as far north as the ice caps and as far south as where the Shadowwood grows to the ocean.
