📜 World Lore History

5th Age: Modern Era

EventSummary
Frosted Wing: Agnarr & IdunaKing Agnarr of Arendelle and Queen Iduna have four children: Eric (eldest), Elsa (second), Anna (third), and an unnamed youngest son. The king and queen are lost at sea while sailing to attend the wedding of Rapunzel and Eugene in Corona. Their youngest son is cast adrift and eventually found and raised in Greystoke, where he now rules as King Tarzan alongside Queen Jane—unaware of his Arendellian heritage, or perhaps choosing not to speak of it.
Frosted Wing: Elsa CrownedQueen Elsa ascends the throne of Arendelle. King Eric takes the throne of Tirulia. Princess Anna serves as Arendelle’s roving ambassador. Elsa monitors the conflict in Grimm and disturbing rumours from Oz and Wonderland.
Grimm: Rapunzel & EugeneQueen Rapunzel and King Consort Eugene rule Corona. Rapunzel is working toward democratic governance across Grimm, intending to abdicate in favour of an elected successor—but is waiting to see how the Germonian conflict resolves first.
Grimm: Cinderella’s Tenuous ReignKing Henri of Enchancia dies without an heir, leaving his widow Cinderella on a precarious throne. Only half the population supports her claim. Queen Snow White of Germonia publicly accuses Cinderella of kidnapping Princess Sable—a political stratagem, not a sincere grievance.
Grimm: Snow White’s AmbitionsQueen Snow White rules Germonia in practice; King Henry is usually absent, philandering and gambling. Snow White seeks to re-unify all of Grimm under her rule. She is aware of the ancient Dagon deal and is willing to sacrifice her own daughter Sable to claim dominion.
Grimm: Princess Sable on the RunPrincess Sable—the intended sacrifice for Dagon—is escorted northward by a group of young adventurers (graduates of Camp Half-Blood). She expresses no desire to return to her mother’s court. Queen Snow White publicly blames Cinderella for the disappearance.
Grimm: Aurora & PhillipQueen Aurora and King Consort Phillip rule the Hinterlands. Phillip believes Tirulia is his birthright and plans to declare war once the Germonian threat is resolved. Rapunzel is wary of him.
Grimm: Lycan & Red Riding HoodLycan and his partner Little Red Riding Hood declare the Enchanted Forest a governance-free collective. All diplomatic and trade negotiations must go through them, but all decisions are made independently by the Forest’s factions.
Rekai: Porthaven & the Modern AgeRekai remains deliberately elusive to formal politics. Its largest city, Koriko, operates as a free port where no nation has jurisdiction. Its village of Sen on the Dragonspire River serves as a quiet waypoint for river travelers. Lochwood persists at the forest’s edge. A rare grimoire heist by a group of young adventurers in Porthaven (a Rekai harbour district of Koriko) catches the attention of a local collector named Corster Fre. The Festival of Inari is celebrated primarily in Rekai, drawing curious visitors from across Once each year during the Wind month.
Provinces: Beldam ExpandsThe Beldam’s servants grow bolder, venturing into Narnia and the Highlands. The Buttoned Ones walk among ordinary people, spreading false memories. The Beldam is believed to be preparing to push beyond the Lowlands.
Oz/Wonderland: Rising TensionsElsa of Arendelle watches disturbing developments in Oz and Wonderland. Rapunzel fears Germonian expansion. The Dagon cult—the Veil-Renderers—stirs near Neverland’s Abyssal Trench. The world of Once quietly approaches a new age of conflict.
Nicnevin: Midnight Twins ActiveNicnevin’s children Tynan and Tinuviel, now living as changelings bound to the mortal world, are being watched by both Beldam and Jadis. Should they ever be freed from their banishment, the consequences for Once are unknown—and feared.
