2767 AR	The Native Plaguestrife: Various druid sects, guilds, and politicians fan flames against those they deem "non-native Iobarians" by claiming no plagues ever happened until folk started coming east from Avistan. Skirmishes and vendettas weaken the power bases of many for decades.
2920 AR	Earthquake rocks Taldor, Qadira, and central Casmaron. Coastal settlements along the northwestern Castrovin all damaged or destroyed by tidal waves.
3000s	Exodus. At least three separate waves of refugees abandon Iobaria over this century to settle other colonial lands to the west and south (mostly Issia and Mendev) or new domains east of the Castrovin Sea.
3150 AR	The Pestilentropy infected many nomads and settlers in central Iobaria, causing fevers and madness ultimately leading to death by overexertion or by the blades of those its victims imagine to be their foes. The disease or its manic side effects destroy more than half of Iobaria's farms, villages, crops, and cattle, leading to a decade of lean harvests and starvation for the region. This devastation and the lack of support for the people leads to the final dissolution of Old Iobarian rule.
Late 3100s	Following the fall of Old Iobaria, the barbarian warlord Kostchtchie claims the northeastern Dvezda Marches as his personal kingdom. He seeks out Baba Yaga, demanding she grant him immortality. She does so, at the cost of stealing part of his soul and transforming him into a deformed giant. In shame, Kostchtchie flees to the Outer Rifts and supplants Sithhud as the demon lord of frost. Baba Yaga constructs the great monument of Artrosa to keep watch over Kostchtchie's former domain.✝
3212 AR	Three warlords (one of Issian descent) and their allies band together to restore the nation of Iobaria.

The Restoration War lasts for nearly a century before New Iobaria officially exists and rules its lands.

3312–3679 AR	This era is generally regarded as the height of New Iobaria. The city of Antoll is capital during this period.
3679 AR	The Great Horde. The cyclops Burlor retrieves the Crown of Mirim and the Perobov Maul from Dirrinir. With these artifacts he gathers a collection of ogre, giant, and cyclops tribes, and rampages across Iobaria. Siege, and burning, of Fralros. These monsters remain a threat long after the death of Burlor beneath the hooves of more than 25 tribes of centaurs.
3870 AR	The human rulers turn to treachery, leading to strife and the eventual rising of a single faction (really, clan) to dominate Iobaria, forcing many enemies and former allies to flee west into Brevoy. New Iobaria will last 800 more years.
4000 AR	Amid the blizzards of a long and particularly harsh winter, frost giants from the Ice Steppes invade New Iobaria, pillaging and murdering. They reach Orlov before being repelled.

4499 AR	Iobarian Choral the Conqueror unites Rostland and Issia into Brevoy.
4519 AR	The Drakeplague kills more than 60% of the dragon population within 3 months. Dragons enter Mavradia seeking a cure, and fight amongst themselves, ruining a third of the city. The silver dragon Cithaythren and Finadar druids perform a ritual to end the plague before it spreads beyond Iobaria, at the cost of that dragon's life. This disaster is commonly credited with weakening New Iobaria until its end in the early 4600s.
4606 AR	Death of Aroden. Worldwound opens.
4606–4622 AR	Sarkorian barbarians flee the expanding Worldwound. Many native Mendevians of Iobarian and Issian ancestry flee before them back to Iobaria. A number of Sarkorian tribes cross the polar ice to Iobaria.
4607 AR	Skirmishes and battles among Sarkorian refugees, native insurgents, and Iobarian troops begin the second fall of Iobaria with the loss of Mavradia to rebel forces.
4607–4659 AR	Battles and rebellions continue. An unnamed plague turns Mavradia's survivors into "mindless gelatinous creatures that preyed on all others". Mishkar, abandoned by Iobarians, is refounded by Varisians and Taldans.
