The recorded history of Nobis stretches back more than 1,200 years.
Long ago, the Sigrast Conclave came to power, forming the first great empire. As the Sigrast Conclave expanded across the Northland plains and eastward to the swamps of Pargast they set in motion of series of events that still influence the world today. The Conclave eventually crumbled under the weight of its own empire and the stress of long-entrenched corruption, but their impact on Nobis echoed down through the ages. The Sigrast Conclave forced once disparate societies together like never before and set the world on a course to unparalleled trade, power and conflict.
More than 150 years after the Conclave rose to prominence a dark shadow swept over the eastern lands.

The new religions slowly take hold and warring factions skirmish with increasing ferocity. More than 100 years of conflict lead to a cataclysmic battle where the gods themselves are changed and made manifest in the world. The Southern Kingdoms will never recover from the devastation.
The fall of the Southern Kingdoms leaves a power vacuum and the petty northern kingdoms seize their opportunity. The Kingdom of Marist, founded by a great hero from a forgotten age gains increasing control in the east. A singular leader rises and sets the world on a new path. Greger Pretovial IV turns his power over to the people and the great City-States are born. Democracy and commerce become the new world power. Literacy and learning sore and The Device makes arcane power available on an unprecedented scale.
