Chronicles of Eldham

This is a page for a collective chronicling of the world of Eldham, all events. No Lore.

The history here should be sustentative and productive in effecting new power dynamics, city layouts, art and literature, etc. Things such as day trips, mining trips, or incomplete building projects recorded here may be deleted.

This page is 100% player driven and managed, and will not be personally overseen by staff as the Chronicles of Rathnir page is.

The Genesis Period
The Genesis Period was the short period of time in which Eldham (than known as New Rathnir) had first been created and players flooded into the new world and began setting up nations. This period in time is most notable for its immense lag and new discoveries as players from across the world were loading new chunks and discovering the many oddities Eldham had to offer and first setting up nations, and particularly cities.

The Period of Emergence
The Period of Emergence was around a two-week duration of time in which the server began to stabilize and lag and server shutdowns began to become more minimal. Players were more readily able to join the server and join nations and as a result the face of Eldham as we know it today began to form.

The Coalitional Period
The Coalitional Period was a period in Eldhamite history lasting roughly 3~ weeks. Eldham at this point had become much more concise geopolitically, Eldham had been mapped, the world had been more or less fully claimed territorially by nations, and the background for which modern Eldhamite history would exist had been properly defined and made clear.

The period is often defined by its sense of international unity in a sense. Virtually all nations were incredibly weak at this time, and so they often came to a consensus on matters through diplomacy and most importantly, coalitions. In this sense, coalitions were a defined party of different nations that acted to intimidate others and ensure international peace and development. It was the main way wars were fought at this time and international agreements were made, whether independently or through entities such as the UNE. The period is considered to had began with the Second Coalition-Ellysian War as for the first time coalitions of extreme significant size, such as the Anti-Radical Syndicate, had proven to be effective and possible and is considered to have had ended with the Kunir War as one of the world's largest single unified coalitions were defeated by a dozen or so bandits and nations began to act militaristically and diplomatically independently of one another instead of relying on "mob mentality" and "international coalition tactics".
