2,454 P.M. – A group of eight politicians formed a cult known as the Blue Fangs, with their sole intensions of eliminating King Gnicys. Their decisive plans took seven years to come to fruition. This political scheme became known as the Seven Year Uprising.

After killing Addazul, the Learish started to rape the women and children and burnt down their settlements afterward. The nine-year period from when the Learish migrated into Alberon until the death of Addazul is known as the Learish Invasion.
953 P.M. – After King Beron had sent his warriors into Alberon to murder their god, Addazul, and burn their settlements, Emperor Khalil of Alberon led a fight against them. The Alberians managed to push the Learish back across the Diamond River, where the majority of the war was fought in the swamps of Medsa’lear. The war became known as the War of Snakes and got its name from the lines of Alberian warriors swimming in the water appearing to be large snakes or death worms. The Alberians proved themselves to be very versatile. The Learish started to pour oils into the water and lit them on fire (which wasn't done for long due to the risk of the Learish and their lands, and the ineffectiveness it was on the Alberians). The Alberians started to climb trees and leap from limb to limb, being able to travel the swamps with ease, avoiding the fires below. The war ended at the Castle of Medsa’lear, when Emperor Khalil decapitated King Beron in front of a large audience of spectators.

After their loss in what is known as the War of Hollowvale, King Vashai was informed that all the tales of riches were false.
0 A.M. – King Kip met with the other rulers of Metagore and signed the MCA, which unified the six kingdoms as one, established a centralized monarch, and declared for a new city to be built immediately to regulate trade amongst the realms. The rulers elected Brighton to be the new lord over the unified kingdom, in honor of his dedication and planning of the MCA. It was also agreed upon that the new city would be built in the mountains of Rigdale, next to the castle, and it would be named BrightHelm after their new lord. As a way to commemorate the signing of the MCA, a three-day festival is hosted every year in BrightHelm, known as the New Life Festival. The signing of the MCA marked the new start of the year for Metagore, as well as established a time frame for all future records: P.M. (Prior to the MCA) and A.M. (After the MCA).
552 A.M. – During the week of the New Life Festival, Grand Duke Rumus gathered in the throne room of BrightHelm with Lord Brighton and the other four grand dukes, along with a couple of loved ones, to enjoy a feast. At the start of the feast, as Lord Brighton was about to give a toast, some of the attendees started to cough and spit up blood, eventually succumbing to death’s vengeance. Lord Brighton had all of the drinks tested, and all except one came back as having been tainted with poison—Turkan’s. The only survivors in the room were Brighton, Galach, and Turkan, as well as Valek, who had become ill from the poison but managed to recover from the toxins within a few days. The massacre became officially known as the Liquid Masquerade. Though many wary citizens believed that Valek wasn’t able to miraculously defeat the poison, but that in fact, he was the one who poisoned everyone, and he just made himself appear sick so that he could place the blame on an innocent bystander; thus, it was nicknamed Valek’s Second Rebellion.
735 A.M. – After the presumed poisoning of Lord Brighton, Cornelius was elected to rule over Metagore. The grand dukes became angered by the election process, leading some to separate from the kingdom and lead a war against the new lord.
