Placeholder text.

What’s her deal? Tell me here. Make the text really long. Shhokikone mubayaas ladechaa thooon ajarale viteeeeinei dare gina meeee, paaaya mure, layayaukine.

It’s Cesk so we know it’s going to be a big section. Let’s pad it out with some more Undercommon lipsum. Thhahe paduri keee sanee ghan ndacha paaagh. Dhee aiyade thish meekar mekiraka.

City Timeline

-20-0 - Pre Sal Hadal

• -005 - “The Lone Courier”

0-20 - Early Sal Hadal

• 012 - “Cuckoo In the Nest”
  • School built
    
• Finding and securing the prismaticite
  
• Establishing heads of various skills and self-sufficiency
  
• Solidifying the thrall process; Bitterhand turns into a lich
  
• Making inroads with the myconid colonies; establishing themselves as a nonviolent presence (mostly?)

20-35 - Exponential Growth

• Experiments to try and remove tadpoles started– first humanoids were not warned of their possibility towards failure. This caused problems
  
• Low-key revolt/revolution early; Cesk seizing power with iron grip and underscoring her true values
  • Group of duregar (?) attempting to take Sal Hadal as an outpost to attack Morndivvr
    
• Wealth begins to flow in; Morndivver established as major partner city
  
• Local medics brought in; deep bonds with myconids established
  
• Schism with a pod of Handmaidens of Lolth, who came after a group of drow males. (This would lead to the War with Menzoberranzan)
  
• Myconids and humans working together to make Art
  
• Major medical issue around 35; breakthrough went badly and Cesk regressed, unable to lead

36-37 - War with Menzoberranzan

• Struck after major medical issue waylaid Cesk
  
• Not wanting another Syrzan, the drow preemptively set up an attack
  
• Cesk took one too many drow from Menzobarranzen’s cast-offs, offed a group of Handmaidens, and pissed off Lolth (or at least her high priests, who are mad that the men have somewhere to go). Cesk won (somehow?) and secured major concessions/wealth that shot Sal Hadal up significantly

38-60 - The Belaern Ascension

• 042 - “Rescue on the Astral Sea”
  
• First brush with illithids again; Cesk hard puts down any illithid tampering with Sal Hadal
  
• First ‘light district’ built to house guests from the upper realms
  
• Poached a Master Reader from Candlekeep; university started
  
• Cesk officially stops offering to remove tadpoles, citing that even with ‘honest methods’ humanoids would get irrationally upset when things failed, citing messy and uncomfortable cleanup

70-91 - Building an Empire

• 082 - “The Hammers of Gauntlgrym”
  
• Built Neural Library
  
• University established, Opera house established

100-120 - The Golden Age
