timeline:

  • c. 915 EP: With the help of several clans and cohorts from across Igala, Celial Harvey puts an end to the reign of the Baron family. At the insistence of both his comrades and the people of the nation, he takes the throne as the first of the Harvey line of kings.
  • 920 EP: Rosalia Harvey passes away after giving birth to her son, Derin. Celial Harvey orders the construction of a second port city, to be named after his late wife. This would come to be known as Port Rosalia.
  • 1298-1299 EP: In a surprise attack that shocks the nation, the city of Isalia is laid to waste in less than a day. What few survivors manage to escape describe creatures of unspeakable horrors, and mages using the dark arts. All of Baron's military power is mobilized, the people of the southern cities and towns evacuated. For nearly a year, the two sides are at a stalemate. The forces of Baron manage to hold their enemies in the southern regions of the nation, though the number of dead for Baron is starting to rise. Fredrick Leon Harvey falls in a battle to push the enemy further south. This leaves his chancellor to run the nation until his son, Trevor Reginal Harvey, comes of age. The nation's enemies begin to press further north, forcing Baron to fall back and struggle to hold their ground several times.
  • 1310 EP: Trevor Reginal Harvey officially claims his title as King of Baron on his 18th birthday.
  • 1316 EP: Trevor Reginal Harvey is dethroned.

The dethroning of Trevor Harvey

The once-king has been out of favor with the people and the council for some time, due to decisions he made that involved Baron in the Malachian War in Doma. However, it is only recently that a strong desire to remove the king from power has become popular amongst the regular citizenry. Rumors have begun to circulate that Baron's involvement in the war was just a plot to dupe its good citizens into giving up their rightful control over their governing bodies. Some contend even that the 'war' itself is a sham--the reports fed to the nation were certainly preposterous enough!

More recently, since the announcement of a plan to reclaim and restore Isalia, talk has spread of a plot to use the ruined southern city as a staging point for an assault against Baron's southern neighbors Avon and Theice. Unsubstantiated, perhaps, but it's not like the government would let this sort of information leak very easily, would it?

The breaking point for Harvey's support was the sudden disappearance of the self-proclaimed leader of the anti-Harvey movement, Jerald Glyndwr. No body has been discovered, but his home was discovered on the morning of Luciara 1st with the front door forced open and the inside ransacked. This being the eve of Glyndwr's first peaceful protest in history, rumors spawned at an exponential rate with the passing of each hour.

It happened in the early morning hours, while King Harvey was still abed. Fighting broke out in the castle as guards loyal to Harvey fought to protect him, while guards loyal to the council worked to suppress them and reach the soon to be ex-king. However, the fight was brought to an early end; Harvey surrendered his position willingly to the council representatives present, commanding those guards still loyal to him to stand down. He was quoted as saying he would have no lives lost on his account.

In a somewhat surprising turn of events, the people moved not to have the old king executed. Rather, he was exiled, along with anyone who would not recognize the council's new absolute rule over the Kingdom. These consisted only of the old chancellor, a graying man of many years, and only a handful of guards and army officials of various ranks.
