Athanaric of the Thervingi, first king of the Visigoths 1782, Unknown Artist
"Two main outbreaks of persecution of Christians by the 4th-century Gothic authorities are recorded, in 347/8 under Aoric (according to Auxentius of Durostorum) and between 367 and 378 under Aoric's son, the iudex (kindins) Athanaric. The persecution of Christians under Athanaric shows that Christians were still a minority among the Tervingi in the 370s, but that they had become numerous enough to be considered a threat to Gothic culture. It is remarkable that Athanaric did not persecute Christians in general, but specifically converted Goths, while Christian foreigners were left alone. Athanaric's motive was thus the protection of the Gothic nation and its Gods and not the persecution of Christianity as such. The Terving ruler Athanaric opposed the spread of Christianity among the Goths, fearing that the new faith would destroy Gothic culture. According to the historiographer Sozomenos (Eccl. Hist. 6.37), Athanaric appointed Winguric (Wingureiks, Wingourichos, also Jungeric) to eradicate the Christian faith from the Gothic lands. In Crimea, Winguric placed an idol in a chariot and paraded it before a tent used by Christians for their church service; those who worshipped the idol were spared, and the rest were burned alive in the tent. A total of 308 people died in the fire, of which only 21 are known by name. This happened in or close to the year 375."

A Brief History of Kolonia
The two eras of history are Ancient Times (a.k.a. ante-incendian) and Modern Times (a.k.a. post-incendian). Ancient Times had three ages: the First Age, the Second Age, and the Third Age. Modern Times are also known as the Dark Age, because so much knowledge of Ancient Times was lost.
The First Age
Ironically, we know more about the First Age than the more recent ages of Ancient Times. This is because the Stories have survived, and also because the gods like to regale their priests with stories about the First Age, for it was the age when the gods walked the Earth.
The First Age began when Bella, Gramen, and Zabul — the Supreme Creators — created the world. Everyone knows that the three were originally friends, and together they created many plants and animals, as well as the Sylvar folk. But when Bella became amorous with Gramen, his brother Zabul was overcome with jealousy, and decided to stop speaking with the other two and isolate himself. This event is known as The Schism.
Bella and Gramen had many children — the “obscure gods” — who taught the elves wondrous things, such as the secret of fire and how to make wine, music, and weapons.
Meanwhile, Zabul was on a mission to destroy all of the beauty he had created with the other Supreme Creators, so he began creating monsters. In response, Bella created humans. It’s unclear exactly why she felt elves weren’t up to the task of keeping the monsters at bay, but humans like to say they were created with a bit more “grit”. Humans also increase in number faster than elves.
Not to be deterred, Zabul created even more fearsome and mighty monsters, including dragons. In desperation, Bella and Gramen’s son Nix used his control over coldness to freeze Bromoria, the land where Zabul had his palace. This didn’t stop Zabul’s evil operations, but it did slow him down significantly.
Nix and his brothers and sisters taught the humans more secrets, such as how to build ships and advanced architecture. The youngest son, Merum, decided to teach humans how to perform magic. This would be the downfall of the gods, as humans would turn out to be such successful students that some became wizards who were powerful enough to banish the gods from the world! This event, known as The Banishing, was performed by the Thaumaturgic Cabal, and brought the First Age to a close.
The Second Age
With the gods suddenly out of the way, the world changed dramatically. Not much is known about the Second Age, but legend has it that Vandalarius, the most powerful of the Thaumaturgic Cabal, had convinced the others to cast The Banishing with stories of how it would usher in a golden age in which humans would truly be free. But now, Vandalarius revealed he had other plans the whole time: He killed several of the other cabal members and declared himself ruler of the world. It is believed that around this time he started wearing a red robe rather than the traditional white. (To this day, white-robed wizards tend to be good, and red-robed wizards tend to be evil.)
Only a decade or so into the Second Age, the Great War began, with the forces of evil, led by Vandalarius, fighting the forces of good, led by the surviving members of the Thaumaturgic Cabal.
Vandalarius the Red took over Zabul’s old palace and the control of Bromoria along with all its monsters. His power continued to grow to unimaginable levels. It is said that he created the Great Ice Shelf, connecting Bromoria and Gocosa. And it is fairly accepted that he sunk the Uscaria Peninsula, a decisive blow to the forces of good who had been using Bella’s old palace as their headquarters. (The Crystal Palace was in the biggest city on the Uscaria Peninsula, Castolona — now known as the Sunken City.) Not too long after that, the forces of good gave up. It was the Surrender of the White.
The Rule of the Red, beginning with Vandalarius, lasted until the end of the Second Age. It was a bleak time. Humans had very little freedom under the control of a network of red-robed wizards across all of Gocosa.
The Moredan Rebellion was a brief glimmer of hope. Humans were able to overthrow Baron Valamir the Red and govern themselves for more than a hundred years, but the Moredan Republic was eventually conquered by Winguric the Red, who slaughtered hundreds of the rebels, many famously killed by dragons.
The Second Age finally ended when the brave warrior Daden assassinated Rezewal the Red, the last ruler of Gocosa. The story of the legendary hero Daden is perhaps only overshadowed by the tales of the sword he used, Splendorblade, supposedly the most powerful weapon in history, enchanted by the Thaumaturgic Cabal of Daden’s day.
The Third Age
With Rezewal the Red gone, a new period of freedom began. The love for Daden was great enough that he could have become ruler of all of Gocosa if he wanted, but instead he merely ruled the city of Dadenium which was built in his honor.
Bromoria was still a threat; Rezewal’s son and heir Rictovarus vowed to conquer Gocosa again, so the Thaumaturgic Cabal erected the massive Lorian Wall across the Great Ice Shelf.
Many kingdoms rose during the Third Age, but few records survive, mainly because of the catastrophe which brought the Third Age to an end: the Great Fire. It is assumed that Rictovarus the Red — or whichever red-robed wizard ruled Bromoria in the year 0 — created a magical fire to destroy the Lorian Wall. Did he intend the fire to burn as it did across all of Gocosa, destroying nearly everything in its path? We may never know.
Modern Times
After the Great Fire, Gocosa was not immediately conquered by a red-robed wizard, so many people suspect that the fire actually laid waste to Bromoria as well. However, eventually there was an influx of goblins and other monsters from Bromoria to Gocosa, gradually increasing over the centuries.
The survivors in Gocosa began picking up the pieces and, as people do, they built up new kingdoms, most of which are still around today. The population of these kingdoms increased and, as kingdoms do, they eventually went to war. The biggest war was the Thirty Year War, which was primarily between Donora and Ascos, although several other kingdoms took sides. The Thirty Year War lasted from 521 to 548.
A few years later, Trovia began convincing other kingdoms to join the Trovian Empire in order to put up a stronger front against the long-anticipated invasion from Bromoria. Today Ascos, Donora, Grutus, Shuris, Slotera, and the Ogari Arhipelago are all provinces of the Trovian Empire.
It is not known whether the current leader of Bromoria, Gunteric the Red, is planning an all-out invasion of Gocosa, but refugees from Zaural have been telling dire stories of their land being completely overrun with goblins and other monsters, who conquer entire Zauran villages; butchering the men, women, and children.
Is it any wonder, then, that more and more of Gocosa has begun to look toward Trovian Emperor Nazario to protect them?
