Most historians have traced mans civilized emergence to the eastern coast of the Dyn Region, south of modern day Ameresh. There, ancient ruins crumble under the weight of an even older jungle that grows upon it and the few artifacts to be found point to an all too familiar path of War, Bloodlines, Societies and Cultures.

* Merenthal leaves Kelt (7980)

The first King of man was a warrior leader by the name of Mu-re-tu. He unified some tribes and conquered even more. By his old age, for which he died from, he had won numerous battles and killed many men. This fact is corroborated by the dwarves, whom speak of men at this time with great favor and respect.
 
  
−
Some generations later, a descendant of Mu-re-tu by the name of Jyn (Zjhen), became King of Mu-re-tu’s lands and people. However Jyn was opposed by a rising confederate of western tribes. Men whom favored the older nomadic ways but knew the benefits of walled cities; and so a new kingdom arose around a grand capital city on the western coast of the Dyn Region. The city was named Shen-tu, or “Suns rest”.

* Tribes united and Edana is founded as the Capitol of Mercadia (8000)

In retaliation to the new enemy and their grand city, Jyn ordered the building of an even greater city where his fore fathers had ruled from. The eastern coast became the home of Jyn-pal, or “Jyn’s city”.

Wars erupted and independent tribes flocked to both sides of the conflict, others were conquered or recruited as front lines changed. By this time the dwarves had become reserved in dealing with men and also had problems of their own, orcs were moving up through the delta in hordes and began an assault upon the mountain fortress there. Before the dwarves disappeared to the caverns of the land, they left with men great secrets of metallurgy and forging, and besides the gift of fire, became the biggest influence to mankind.

* Humanity's dominion expanded, and Merenthal's descendants strove to complete his vision of a unified Kingdom. However, with growth came new challenges. The Kingdoms encountered other races: Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs, and relationships varied from tense diplomacy to open conflict. This era is marked by battles, alliances, betrayals, and the constant quest for balance and stability.
  
−
The wars between these two great kingdoms had drained so many of their will to continue on, and many were weary that the recently successful orcs to the near north would soon turn south and treat the tribes of men to the same fate their lost Dwarven friends must have witnessed.So it is then that the two kingdoms ended their war, and drew lines on early maps. The people of Shen-tu to the west, and the people of Jyn-pal to the east; then there was peace. Jyn had three brothers and now some six legitimate heirs to his throne. So he told them to forge their own kingdoms elsewhere, for he would not see his own sons fight for his seat but promised it instead to a longtime friend and comrade in arms named “Tiber”, thus angering many and losing so much trust earned in the years before.

Nevertheless, four of his six sons went off to forge their own kingdoms in far off lands. Khall and Ahm across the south seas forging the great empire of Khallusia and Ahmshel, Seru west through Shen-tu and across the seas to the elven lands never to be heard from again, and Ku’mel west to the desert islands he eventually named “Ka’mella” and “Ki’mella” for his twin daughters.

Jyn eventually grew old like his fathers before him, never falling in battle but to their aged beds, and the fighting Jyn attempted to circumvent began. Tiber assumed the throne just as Jyn had wished, but the two remaining sons felt it was their right and that they would oust then duel each other for their father’s legacy. The youngest two brothers did just that, and with much support, J’nas and Temut sent Tiber running across Orc infested delta lands and swamps ending the rebellion with a public fight in which Temut mortally wounded his brother and as the tales go, J’nas congratulated and bowed to his brother before promptly dying.

Tiber ran, but did not run alone; he had been an honored and loved Jynese warrior and friend to the royal family. So he gathered those loyal to him, and campaigned to unite the tribes stuck between the orcs and the mountains. Tiber created a powerful group of warriors named Val Guards and a walled town aptly name...“Valgard”. A third Kingdom arose and for a millennium the three remained the only civilizations of men and surrounded the orcs keeping them at bay.

It was these one thousand years that so many men north of the mountains remained in tribes at constant conflict with one another. Beginning to find themselves able to trade and learn from the dwarves now appearing on the northern side of the great mountain ranges, the tribes grew, united, conquered and forged kingdoms like their more ancient brethren had done thousands of years before to the south.

One leader grew above so many others, a tribal leader and warrior named Merenthal. He, influenced by tales told by the dwarves of men from so long ago, wished to build a grand city on his side of the mountains in the north. So Edana was constructed and many flocked to the idea of a city.

History

Humans in Mercadia measure large spans of time in Eras. The Era before the year 7980 is commonly referred to as the Era of Legends. Mercadian history marks the end of the Era of Legend as the year 7980

The Era of Exodus (7980 - 9534)

  • The tribal leader, Merenthal, received a divine vision from Talathas, the Shepherd, who sought a hero to unite the fragmented human tribes. Heeding the call, Merenthal left the continent of Kelt, known as the cradle of humanity, to embark on a grand quest. After a twenty-year journey, he succeeded in unifying the tribes and founded the Mercadian capital of Edana in 8000. His remarkable accomplishment marked the end of a fragmented existence and the beginning of a shared identity.
