Before Timekeeping
There was a time when history was not kept. These dark days were filled with war, strife, starvation, and mistrust. Two races of creatures were said to have come from the viscous fluid of the pits of Ambaran: the Ahrizadi (a lizard-like creature) and the Jhadivans (a cat-like creature). Tho evolving separately, eventually when the tumultuous upheaval from the viscous fluid stopped, the two factions found peace. We only know this because the hybrid created created from their union is the earliest ancestor of the Ambrivans...
Year 1 - 292
The reign of the first Emperor was a great one according to the Ambrivan history books. Emperor Auro was fierce and unrelenting. His Empress, Ristanna, gave him many children and supported their people. The factions of the Ahrizadi and Jhadivan peoples continued to blend together creating what Emperor Auro called a "Super Race" and named it Ambrivan. Anyone not recognizing the super race was found guilty of treason. Eventually, by year 292, only Ambrivans were left free in the world...
Year 293 - 411
After the death of Emperor Auro (old age), his eldest daughter, said to be the "Face of Ambrivan Society," took the throne. She had the momentous duty to continue the super race, and Empress Julikara did just that... She continued the push outward to seize any lands left by the Ahrizadi and Jhadivan factions, imprisoning any she found still in hiding. By the time she was done killing and imprisoning, there was no doubt that Ambrivans were all that was left on Ambaran. Her wife, Empress Dama, hated all the violence and greed and eventually poisoned Julikara. Dama was quickly overthrown and killed when the news of her treason surfaced. Their daughter, Princess Lith took the throne in 412.
Year 412 - 498
Empress Lith was kind and freed the prisoners of war - at least those who were still alive. Lith took on a new approach to Ambrivan life and sought to make life on Ambaran easier. She supported science and the efforts of the more modern classes of Ambrivans. A small sect of more medieval Ambrivans disagreed with her letting the remaining Ahrizadi and Jhadivan people go and disagreed with the pursuit of science... They plotted to end her reign. When the plot was discovered, Lith chose to step aside from the throne to avoid a bloody battle...
Year 499 - 671
The youngest son, tho now quite old, of Auro took over for his elder sister, Lith. Emperor Medo was nothing like his siblings. He was meek and understated, shy, quiet, and easy to manipulate. His Empress, Luna, was not so much but alas she was not in charge of everything. Where possible, she coached her lifemate to keep him from harm and trouble. Technological advancement stalled but the arts thrived in this time. A council was formed called the The Wandering Council that set out to found new cities for the Ambrivans. Five new cities were founded in this time, and on his deathbed (old age), Emperor Medo chose his daughter, Celesti, as his successor.
Year 672 - 834
Empress Celesti was a good blend of her parents - quiet and understated while also calculating and smart. No one knew quite what she was thinking or doing at any time. When she finally chose a lifemate, the nation rejoiced. She chose well as Emperor Rictu became equally loved. Magic bloomed everywhere. Libraries filled with books. Technology came up to speed and made lives easier and more fun everywhere! Celesti and Rictu set forth new laws that made the people safer. They started what is now the modern day militia. And most of the festivals and celebrations that are held nationwide happen because they created them.
Year 835 - Present
Celesti and Rictu ruled long into their twilight years and then stepped aside on the throne so their son, Creid, could take over. Creid has recently mated to the governor's daughter, Lera. Emperor Creid focus' most of his time and effort on the military. With the growing number of celestial events, it is only a matter of time before a portal they can't control is opened that could let another creature onto Ambaran. And he wants to be ready for any eventuality. Empress Lera on the other hand is into volunteering and bettering the lives of the people who need it most. They have ruled successfully for a good many years and only recently had their first born child...
