Editing Teveren (section)

=== Post-Catastrophe ===
After the Catastrophe, many in Teveren, mostly those of lower status who were previously unable to bolster the type of imperial or magical military might needed, continued to vie for leadership of the country. For the next 300 years, this culminated with numerous short-lived reigns by lesser nobles and military officials, before Alectrius Dorian amassed his army and crushed his enemies, creating the Dorian Empire in the newly crowned King's Pride.

==== The Fourth Era: The Dorian Empire ====
In 2668 VR, Alectrius Dorian founded the Dorian Empire, after his enormous army and formidable navy conquered the whole of the island-continent. In 2674 VR Alectrius began the first of fifteen Crusades, centering on cleaning up Teveren of the "evil hordes" which had risen in the absence of a true ruler. In truth, Alectrius used these crusades to quash any and all rebellion across Teveren, to ensure his reign would not be questioned. The Alectrian Crusades began the concept of the "adventuring" lifestyle, as many of the crusaders continued adventuring in small bands following the end of the Crusades. The crusades lasted nearly 300 years and, ironically, ended up creating many new enemies against the Emperor.

Most of the crusades focused on Teveren, but four of them occurred in Akhentour and two were in Morentar.

The capital of the Empire became King's Pride, while Alectrius' first born son, Kazwic, ruled Teveren as the Grand Prince in the city of Ogoni. The 600-year reign of the Dorian family was one of political upheaval and intrigue, marked by a swift advancement of nobility and land grabs throughout the continent. The Crusades made a lot of enemies of the Dorians, which ultimately ended Alectrius' life when he was assassinated by unknown forces in 2925 VR. Alectrius' son Kazwic took over as Emperor. Known as the Vile King, Kazwic ruled terribly, creating a permanent Crusaders Corps which ruled as military stewards in nearly every city in Dorian. The Corpse, as they soon were called, were not as powerful as the ones Alectrius founded, but were much larger in size and availability.

Eventually, in 3275 VR, Urmenator Dorian, emperor at the time, was killed in a coup by his own son Erlighein, in a broad attempt by the Usurperites to dethrone the Dorian family, a coup that was ultimately successful, causing the Dorian Empire, which was already fragile at this point, to collapse quickly.

==== The Fifth Era: The Prosperity ====
Following the fall of the Dorian Empire, Teveren entered into an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity. A power vacuum of 23 years caused strife immediately after the fall, but Good Queen Esperanza united the country through a newly established trade route with the Yonavi islands, bringing about goods and services largely unknown prior. Esperanza's connections with the Yonavi people allowed for the Teveren people to exist with new ideas and goods while also avoiding any outside political intrigues for over 700 years. Various technological and magical marvels from pre-Catastrophe were studied and rebuilt in Teveren, putting them on pace with Valwyr in terms of advancement.

Then, in 4055 VR, the lich Alrenn began to destroy the country, using its own technology and magical acumen against it as arcane power for his undead army. In a flash of five years, Teveren went from a peaceful, technologically advanced civilization to utter ruin. Most of the population of Teveren were killed, save for a few along the coast who managed to sail eastward to Monarch Island and the newly discovered Katalpa, forming the city of Survivor's Crest. Even after Alrenn was destroyed for good, many of his undead forces remained in Teveren, including his terrible nightwalkers.

==== The Sixth Era: The Rebuilding ====
Since Alrenn's destruction, rebuilding Teveren was the singular goal of Aloysius Pridd, who cast a ''wish'' spell in 4083 VR to bring life back to the country. The land turned green and trees began to grow once again, but several powerful undead beings continued to roam the countryside. Aloysius continued to fight these beings, and was last seen in 4098 VR heading eastward from Davast Keep toward Setral's Temple, which housed a dangerous nightwalker that he intended to destroy.

Akhentourian archdruid and former Guildmaster of the Redfang Guild, Bravan Tesserani, arrived in Teveren in 4085 VR, at Aloysius' behest, to continue growing plant life in the area, and by 4100 VR, most of Teveren began to look as it did prior to Alrenn's destruction.
