History of Far-Rough

Since I am going to be detailing the area of the Diamond Throne formally known as the Duchy of Nem, I decided to start with the history (timeline) of the region, so that the region could evolve organically out of its past. This timeline is still in development and its final form is likely to be a bit different but I decided I wanted to do the last 200 years, touch on some major events, this is pure worldbuilding and may be a complete waste of time but I may turn each event into an adventure seed if I can.

all of these are done in the common years. (still a work in progress).
