Current Lore Events in Ascending Order (Only including Modern and Near Modern Era lore)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1. The Republic of Caldana conquers it's neighbors in acts of offensive warfare for the purpose of resource control. This event leads to the formation of the Empire of Thelenia, the largest nation on Solfara.

2. The 8 former nations of North Santo, South Santo, Jungle Drive, New Ender, Jivertin, Longland, Solta, and Cheeco unite to form the United Republic of Santallo in order to protect mutual interests in defense and trade.

3. Islamic militants successfully secure the Crimson Desert within central Solfara against Thelenian (Caldian) forces and establish a caliphate known as the Crimsonian Empire.

4. The Republic of Cerua and Federal Republic of Perpy form as neutral nations, wishing to prosper via international trade and technological developments.

5. The Ratsian religion gains mass popularity, leading to the formation of the theocratic Kingdom of Rats, which goes on to invade modern day Ohlin. Ohlin becomes a Dominion in the Kingdom of Rats.

6. Phobia of the Kingdom of Rats brews south of Ohlin, leading to mass resurgence of the Old Earth religion of Christianity. The Holy Union of Shirochi, a theocratic Solfaran Christian republic forms to combat the theocratic Kingdom of Rats.

7. Ohlin launches a rebellion against the Kingdom of Rats with aid from both Shirochi and Crimsonia. After years of conflict Ohlin is successful and instates a monarchy, forming the Grand Nation of Ohlin.

8. In the regions encompassing the modern nation of Kariax - Ox; Thelenian, Crimsonian, and Ratsian armadas fight to take control, however, due to knowledge of the land and sheer will, the local Kariaxian populace manages to repel the invading forces. Sadly, this only leads to further civil war, as Kariaxians are divided heavily in ideology and fail to agree on how to rule the nation. At the end of the Kariaxian Civil War, the Nationalist Front of Kariax - Ox is the victor and establishes a fascist government.

9. Thelenia grants independence to Arcronox after their failure in Kariax, as the land in Arcronox was not only minimal in resources due to it's purely freezing and mountainous environment but also expensive for the Empire to maintain. The money used to pay for the maintenance of the Arcronoxian Provence was reallocated to relieving their war costs.

10. The United Kingdom of Arcronox forms a strong relationship with Kariax - Ox, receiving food and petrol products in exchange for industrial goods.

11. The Principality of Valoria invades the neighboring Queendom of Ostravya, establishing their Imperialist ambitions.

12. Thelenia invades the at the time anarcho-capitalist society of Sylvorrenia through the north. Valoria, seeing their influence in the region challenged, invades southern Sylovrrenia. Later the anarchic society of New Gehenna, bordering to west of Sylovrrenia, gets invaded and also divided via north and south. Thelenia and Valoria engage in constant warfare within the 2 regions, going as far as conscripting the local populous into their militaries.

13. Santallo, seeing Thelenia and Valoria establishing colonies in Sylvorrenia and New Gehenna, aims to establish their own colony as well in order to compete with their colossal neighbors and avoid being a target. Santallo aimed for the Holy Union of Shirochi. Shirochi was across the sea from Santallo, but that didn't stop them from deploying their navy and other military resources to Shirochi. Shirochi was successfully subdued by Santallo and formed into a colony.

14. After years of subjection and colonial warfare, ex Sylvorrenian and New Gehennan subjects who fought for Thelenia and Valoria, form the Sylvorrenian Libertarian Front and the New Gehennan Democratic Front to begin military operations against Thelenia and Valoria. This caused the Sylvorrenian and New Gehennan Revolutions. Later down the line the coalition of New Gehennan and Sylvorrenian militias broke apart as a New Gehennan Theocratic militia group defeated the New Gehennan Democratic Front. This would cause ill relations between Sylvorrenia and New Gehenna after independence. Both militant forces would be successful in defeating their colonial oppressors, giving rise to the nations of the Duchy of Sylvorrenia and the Satanic Empire of New Gehenna.

15. After the victories made by the New Gehennan and Sylvorrenian revolutionaries, tensions in Thelenia reached an all time high, they had an election coming up, and after the losses in the Crimson Desert, Kariax, Sylvorrenia, and New Gehennan, a libertarian, anti- imperialist / pro- diplomacy party rose to prominence. It was the Libertarian Party of Thelenia (hard thought out naming I know), which drafted a new libertarian constitution for the democratic empire. The Empire of Thelenia, while still imperialist by defacto due to their vast territory and heavy cultural mix, was now no longer focused on claiming new territory for the empire, and instead focused on extinguishing internal conflicts and improving relations with it's neighbors.

16. In Valoria the victories in Sylvorrenia and New Gehenna had a significantly more meaningful impact. The heavily underrepresented Ostravyan population within the principality noticed weakness within the Valorian military and government after their loss of their colonial territory, so ex Ostravyan soldiers who had fought in Sylvorrenia and New Gehenna for Valoria organized their own militias and began the Valorian Civil War. This would lead to the house of Aurenhealm being deposed in the Valorian capital of Orange. All Valorian territory was claimed by Ostravya, except for Sharcadia which was taken by Sylvorrenia in the Valorian Sea during the Valorian Civil War. Ostravya declared Orange their capital city, instilled the Melbourne Dynasty, and declared the sovereignty of the then newly founded Kingdom of Ostravya.

17. Sharcadia is proclaimed by Sylvorrenia as an autonomous protectorate of the Duchy.

18. After Sylvorrenia improved relations with both Ostravya and Thelenia on the grounds of diplomatic arrangements and both military and conventional trade relations (And forming significant trade relations in the form of agricultural imports from Santallo), Sylvorrenia, Thelenia, Santallo, and Ostravya signed the Westralis Accords, which formed the military and trade alliance known as the Sons of Mars.

19. After the Formation of the Sons of Mars, Santallo held their 4th national election, which the Republican Party of Santallo won. The Communist Party of Santallo was outraged, declaring they lost the election due to Sons of Mars interference and Republican poll number manipulation. The communist party formed the PRS (People's Resistance in Santallo), and took control of the state of North Santo. In response, the United Republic of Santallo declared a state of emergency and deployed troops to combat the PRS in North Santo. Every nation in the Sons of Mars responded by supporting their ally, sending troops and aid to help Santallo put down the communist rebellion, even Crimsonian sent support in the form of troops. Due to the war effort and strain of military resources, Santallo pulled all of their troops and governmental institutions out of Shirochi, leaving the Shironese to take back their land and eventually reestablish the Holy Union of Shirochi. Back to the Santonese Civil War, after over a year of conflict the Sons of Mars (+Crimsonia) successfully put down the PRS.

20. Kariax and Thelenia have a border skirmish due to a Kariaxian recon unit sending a false report on Thelenian activity on their border, stating that they were firing mortars over the border when in actuality, Kariax has an artillery unit not too far away running maintenance on their mortars and ensuring they were in serviceable condition. This border skirmish would lead to all out war being declared on Kariax by Thelenia. Thelenian would be supported by the Sons of Mars in the Thelenian - Kariax War. It would only last a few months with a Thelenian victory. The terms of surrender were listed in the treaty of Ol Pozemky: Kariax, would limit military activity on their border with Thelenia, Kariax would lose any opportunities they had to join the Sons of Mars, and Kariax would have to pay off all of Thelenia's war costs from the war.

21. Kariax - Ox, the Crimsonian Empire, United Kingdom of Arcronox, and Kingdom of Rats form the CKAR Alliance to contest the SOMs influence in Solfara. (Basically the SOM of eastern Solfara)
