-1326

Rhy-Kanna begin empire building in Tyrraria

-990

At the age of 32 the prophet, a former smith with little formal education, Leron begins preaching in Lysan. Like many cities on the Shattered Coast, Lysan sits adrift on a sea of wretched, diseased, and poor refugees from the Khaafret Wars. He finds many converts to his faith which asserts the presence of only one deity, Eronem, who is the union of two deities, Atar the Father and Amara the Mother. He also claims that all other gods have abandoned the people and the people should cease patronizing them. The city lords of Lysan and its temple leaders are displeased with his words and actions.

-988

Leron is chased out of Lysan by mobs incited by priests of adherents to other gods. He vows to return to lead the Faithful to the Promised Land. In his absence his followers establish the first church of Leronism.

-986

Leron, strong in his faith, wanders the Shattered Coast. He performs many feats of bravery, kindness, and charity. His miracles win him many more followers.

-981

Leron returns to Lysan at the head of an army of the Faithful. The lords of the city bar the gates. Undeterred, Leron calls for his followers within the city to join him--violence ensues and many people are killed. Leron calls for an end to the bloodshed. Leron and the Faithful withdraw from the gates to an encampment on the Hill of Grecotha. For three weeks Leron prays for guidance while the Faithful restlessly wait. Six times Leron comes forth to assure the Faithful that the Gods will guide them to the Promised Land. Addressing the growing crowds for the seventh time he is slain by Vaos the Knife, a professional assassin employed by the lords of the city. Leron forgives Vaos. Vaos, called the Repenter, joins the Faithful and under his guidance they leave Lysan bearing the body of the fallen Leron.

Lord Par-Kathon of House Anghulooke assumes command of the Province of Mahritak. He institutes extreme measures in Lysan to keep the peace. The Faithful of Leron, the homeless, and the destitute are enslaved or slaughtered as Par-Kathon endeavors to ‘clean-up’ the city. Wholesale flight by these ‘targeted’ peoples begins; many end up in the Withering and the islands around the Vermillion Sea (extreme eastern end of the Tyrrarian Sea).
