Mordol’s Gods lived here, and were worshipped by the builders of the pyramid flanked by temples. Some remnants of their power can still be seen: the ‘haven’ for animals in the cave system was fashioned by the Goddess of animals. The illusion of a ball in that same system was made by the Sun God.

Sleestak came to the underground from their dimension.

The worshippers of Mordol’s Gods build a mission on the northeast peninsula for the natives there.

The demons come, and are worshipped by a few people of map CD, the oak temple.

The big fight. As a result of this fight, the mission was destroyed, and the two forces (Gods and Demon) were mutually imprisoned under the temples. All but the highest level of people in the area survived, and these retreated to stay in the pyramid.

A college for Magic-users is started on a southeast islet. Eventually they note that there is some great power somewhere on the island, although it cannot be told what this is.

Two factions break out, both searching. Erression—leader of one and Grabdok—leader of others, build their fortresses.

Both bring in help from anywhere possible. Erression brings in Elves, and Dwarves, and humans (Clerics, Fighters). Grabdok brings Orcs, finds some Kopru from the Isle of Dread, human clerics and fighters.

Both sides make lots of magic objects to help them. There is finally a big battle, but neither side wins a decisive victory. Both settle back in, Erression trying to keep Grabdok from finding whatever it is.

Period of Tranquility

Some Sleestak come up (now eggs in hot sands*)

Clerics from pyramid—some leave (Mages Castle)

People move from Grabdok’s thrall to by lake, soon Grabdok has some worshippers on lake.

Orcs move out and set up mercenary operations.

Elves, Dwarves move out.

The feudal rulers

King Arinion includes Mordol in his kingdom—gives it in fealty to Sam Barkon, who went to build a castle. However, Grabdok sent army of fighters, clerics, magic-users to empty it. However, he didn’t have enough power to occupy it once he defeated it, so he then left it.

The castle was built above a set of caverns from clerics from the pyramids, who, through a lot of R&D set it up nicely.

Samson Barkon (Sam’s Son) tries to take over where dad left off. He built by the ocean. However, before the town was completely finished, vampires took over.*

King Fallon takes over the area of Mordol from the line of Arinion. He gives it to Justinian, who built up the town of Cankor, with magical protection.

Reign of Darsinian, Justinian’s heir.

Reign of Jalset, Darsinion’s heir.

Darien (present king) is born.

Darien turns out to be a black sheep (Lawful Evil), but is the only son.

Darien leaves, in a huff, with some friends.
