The Fall of the East (Osteni)

Steel Realms

The Fall of the East/Fall of Osteni is a Steel Realms Timeline Event; recorded knowledge. The Fall of the East is marked by the end of the confederacy, the Orrish walk south, and the official End of Dominion in CY 2899 (which began with _ in CY _).

The Orrish ‘Walk South’: CY 2302-2331

  • CY 2331; Bloodhook Despair – a hundred thousand are said to have been taken captive.
  • CY 2330; Nurthland falls;
  • CY 2329; Redwood falls to the Orrish – The twin fortresses of the Sword of Mizras and Shield of Whelm are built in the Bloodhook Pass.
  • CY 2324; Fuergar Dominar falls
  • CY 2321; Dosanak Falls
  • CY 2318; Minbrath falls
  • CY 2317; The Warriors Wall – a string of forts of men and out-holts of Ducateon are built in the Tolkisson Mountains. In the passes east of the Fhayln Marches.
  • CY 2316; Al Habbaen falls
  • CY 2313; Al Mahndiel falls
  • CY 2302; The Dark Veil, once thought to be immobile, moves forward and engulfs territories held by men in the east after the fall of Anjeth.

During this time there is much argument amongst the races and houses of men. Chaos and confusion,
discord and strife – the men were constantly pushed into retreat. Nurthland holds for a long time. At one
point, a great host sent from the west drives the Orrish back, and it looked as if the Elves of Redwood
and the men of Nurthland would stand fast – but the trolls had dug deep under Redwood and it was attacked
from behind.

The Time of Fellowships Ends: CY 2358

The fellowship council recognizes that the time of fellowships is at an end. The lack of unity among
the fellowship races and lands, even in the face of their common enemy, has led to a sad decision of abandoning their charters.
They recognize the High King as the supreme authority in the battle with the Orrish.

Battles of the Forge: CY 2332-2357

For years the Orrish try and push through Bloodhook Pass and over the Tolkisson range – men and
Ducateon stop them time and again with aid from the Grollen – the faerie races are in decline and have little
representation on the lines of battle.

The Orrish ‘Walk South’: CY 2302-2331

  • CY 2317; The Warriors Wall – a string of forts of men and out-holts of Ducateon are built in the Tolkisson Mountains. In the passes east of the Fhayln Marches.
  • CY 2316; Al Habbaen falls
  • CY 2313; Al Mahndiel falls
  • CY 2302; The Dark Veil, once thought to be immobile, moves forward and engulfs territories held by men in the east after the fall of Anjeth.
