Lore Recap - the Summer-Autumn War

As a note: This is only going over stuff that has been canonically mentioned and only the parts mentioned.

 

Grand Claiming Era: 

Empress Owlis of Wysdom took over all the land in Vytyl and Voto. Queens Sumhyr, Ryvoh, and Snofall all held their own territories around this time. 

Hundreds of years later, there was the 

Relinquishing: 

In a gradual process, Owlis surrendered the idea of being the worlds' monarch and instead began giving land back, even land that belonged to the various queens. 

Queen Sumhyr, owner of the Seventh Realm and Sunnyvilla, grew annoyed as her own territory was stripped away from her without permission. So she gathered the other two seasonal cousins, Ryvoh and Snofall. The three goddesses began a war to oppose Owlis.

66 years ago: 

The war began. Sandrun and Luxworth stay back to protect the main kingdom city-state of Lavandar. 

In Glacialane, Ryvoh's rebellion is countered by the sub-rebellion launched by Raynfall. 

Luxworth begins developing secret depots and train stops where supplies can be unloaded in a hidden manner.


64 years ago:

-Owlis wins the initial war, leading to a brief respite. Most of the seventh kingdom has fallen. 

-The previous queens are slowly replaced, and Sumhyr, as the leader, is exiled, while Raynfall takes over.

-Sumhyr, in exile, begins the next part of her plot.


31 Years ago:

-Sumhyr returns for a new round of fighting, however, she is pregnant. 

-Ryvoh and Snofall join in with these efforts. 

-At a final stand in the Seventh Kingdom, Owlis corners Sumhyr, but Sumhyr unleashes a blast that obliterates an entire city. After this, she vanishes, never to be seen again. 


30 years ago 

-Cyras Sumhyr is born.


Several years ago: 

The leader of the rebellion, Sumhyr, dies in the Wilds. 


Recently: 

Cyras Sumhyr enters Wysdom. 

Owlis tracks her scent back to Ryvoh and captures Ryvoh. 




Miscellaneous:

Sheerwalls, Glacialane was apparently a part of the war. Their side is unknown, however as they're from the "floodlands", they may actually have been on Ryvoh's side as the floodlands were largely loyalists to Ryvoh.

 


-Queen Jazmyn the First dies during the war, leaving Queen Jazmyn II and Queen Jazmyn the III.

Current gaps in Cyras' knowledge:

-How does a god die and is Sumhyr actually dead?
-Why did Owlis perform Relinquishing or Grand Claiming?
