History of Haven
This article is very old and not extremely accurate as far as current standards go. However, it is a good guideline for the basis of the world and it's creation if you are willing to accept the fact that some of these landmarks mentioned are not in the same place as mentioned below.
TimeLine of Kailie History, as told by Astara Banewulf.
The dawn of time
- The Lord of Balance, Duuktsaryth, creates the world of Kailie, setting down a path with a plan to create a world where the forces of the universe are tamed to his own will.
- Duuktsaryth invites several lesser Immortals, collectively known as the Primal Gods, to Kailie in order to help build his world along his planned path.
- The Primal Gods (Amelia, Balishae, Syra, Morgoth, Zaxan, Duuktsaryth, Ahriman) are joined by others.
- The Gods create simple life in the form of animals to roam their new lands.
- Duuktsaryth creates the first sentient race, the Elves.
- Ahriman creates an evil parody of the Elves, the Orcs.
- Zaxan creates the Sprites.
- Durandel creates the Drughkor.
- Balishae creates the Halflings.
- Morgoth creates the Nosferatu.
- Mati creates the Kobolds.
- Ruin creates the Lamrani.
- Other Immortals are born and die without leaving their mark on the world of Kailie.
The First GodsWar
- The Immortals squabble over the plan as set down by the Lord of Balance. Various Immortals are destroyed and new Immortals move in to take their place. Lamrani, Drughkor, and Kobolds are forsaken of Immortal patronage and die out. Cities are overturned, lands destroyed. The city of Balzash, home of the Drughkor, is destroyed when Duuktsaryth drops a fiery mountain on it. The Yozrath Desert is formed in its place.
- The Lord of Balance decrees that no Immortal shall have direct contact with the mortals. Humans are formed as the first race not directly influenced by a patron deity.
- Duuktsaryth creates the gelflings. Half-elves are born in Haven Town.
- The GodsWar ends and Duuktsaryth slows the ranks of Immortals from growing (opening of Haven for player testing).
- The Kailie calendar begins counting from 0.

- Duuktsaryth, in order to fulfill his role as Lord of Balance, relinquishes his role as Head of Kylin to Haun, Lord of Order. This is a time of great sadness for the Elves, as their Lord from the beginning of time takes a step away from them. Haun quickly finds his place though, and the Elves see the wisdom in the decision of the Lord of Balance.
Summer of Year 109
(Haven re-opens for players)
- The village of Tairi is discovered north of the Estergrym mountain range. This small village of humans worship the religion of inner peace and harmony known as Tai-so-ka. The samurai lords of Tairi seek to avoid contact with the rest of Kailie if possible.
- The Lord of Order, Haun, is found to be a vicious traitor to the causes of the Immortals of Kailie. His protector, the Lord of Magic, quickly removes his support from the trecherous god, and the Lord of Balance destroys Haun utterly. The Elves rejoice as they are reclaimed by the Lord of Balance, Elven-Kin, Duuktsaryth.
