MCU Modern Timeline and What it known?

Statement from Steve Rogers

"People of Earth…

I won’t stand here and pretend I have all the answers. We tried to set things right. We fought with everything we had, and… we didn’t succeed. I know that’s not what anyone wanted to hear. It’s not what I wanted to say.

I’ve seen the looks in your eyes — grief, anger, despair. I feel it too. I’ve lost friends, family, teammates. Half the universe is gone, and no words can erase that pain.

But I need you to hear this: as long as we’re still here, there’s still hope. Every one of us who survived was given a choice we never asked for, but it’s ours all the same. We can let this loss break us apart… or we can let it bring us together.

Every neighbor you help, every community you rebuild, every hand you reach out to — it matters. The future isn’t just written by soldiers or heroes with shields. It’s written by the people who decide to keep going when it would be easier to give up.

Thanos wanted us to believe the universe could only survive if there were fewer of us. I believe the opposite. Our strength has always come from standing together, from lifting one another up when it’s hardest. That hasn’t changed.

We may have failed today. But tomorrow isn’t written yet. Let’s write it together — not as broken nations, not as scattered survivors… but as one people.

Hold on. Hold each other. And remember: we’re still here. And as long as we are… we keep fighting for one another."

The Syl-Pasha and Major Houses of Calimport

Syl-pasha of Calimshan - Ralan el' Pesarkhal

What is known: Ralan el' Pesarkhal first entered the political theater of Calimshan while serving as a Vizir for the Sultan of Manshaka. This was Ralan’s first introduction to Syl-Pasha Rashid el' Djenispool, the Caliph of Calimshan. 

During the advent of the Time of Troubles the sultan vanished from Manshaka- presumed dead. At this time a number of guilds run by the magic using community and rich merchants raised a number of candidates under their power as would-be sultan of Manshaka. 

The conflict between members of these powerful guilds in Manshaka opened up many opportunities as well as a void in city leadership. In the chaos Ralan el' Pesarkhal swiftly assumed the mantle of sultan of Manshaka where he immediately began to consolidate his power in order to gain complete control of the city in all aspects. He used this increased power and influence to forge alliances between factions within Manshaka and in Calimport, including sinister and benevolent groups in order to strengthen both his own power among the high class of Calimshan and re-stabilize the city from the ground up. Ralan was a great proponent for a mageocracy government. 

Shortly after gaining the ear of Syl-Pasha Rashid el' Djenispool, el' Pesarkhal was made the spymaster for the Table of Sultans in Calimport during the post-Time of Trouble events of the Darkstalker Wars. His position at this esteemed Table of ruling Sultans granted him access to Calimport politics as asll as many of the Syl-Pasha's servants and resources.

After Syl-Pasha el' Djenispool's death at the hands of his most beloved harem wife, his heir Punjor el' Djenispool was called from duty to take the throne. A welcoming party was assembled on the new Syl-Pasha's flagship, the Sultan's Scimitar. Unfortunately the food and drink aboard the ship poisoned, killing Syl-Pasha Punjor el' Djenispool and everyone else aboard, ending the Djenispool family line. 

El' Pesarkhal immediately used his contacts and personal talents to bring forth an indictment of a pair of scoundrels, each with previous criminal activity, who had poisoned the food. Found guilty of regicide the two scoundrels were beheaded and quartered. Their gruesome remains scattered across the planes. 

Without any political enemies willing to risk social or political self-destruction against el' Pesarkhal, Ralan became Syl-Pasha in 1359 DR and ushered in a new prosperous age for Calimshan. 

In last twenty-six years Ralan has set himself towards strengthening his total political control over Calimshan installing many of his siblings and offspring in positions of power, while gaining strong allies in Tethyr, and rebuilding Calimport into a more profitable and defensible city.

el' Pesarkhal- Venerable house of aristocrats, tacticians, arcanists and wizards from Manshaka dating back generations. 

El Pajabbar- Ralan el' Pesarkhal is protected at all times by no less than twenty-four large El Pajabbar which translates as 'those of the horns' in Alzhedo. Ferociously strong and fiercely loyal these black-skinned minotaurs who are specifically bread with oreads as the personal guard for the Syl-Pasha.

 Other powerful and affluent Calishite Houses include: 

-------------------------------------

el' Anvari-  A wealthy house of scholars, cryptologists, and authors and spell traders. They are well established followers of Oghma. 

el' Dasanm- Affluent house of import merchants, caravan traders, information brokers as well as enforcers in the Caravans Ward. 

el' Esarn- Stuffy house of stylistic ink-mages, scroll masters, and camel traders from the Quill Ward. 

el' Eradsari- Secretive, one of the oldest families of aristocrats in Calimport dating back hundreds of years. Many members from this house are clergy of the dark goddess. They are one of Calimport's first Damphir Clans. 

el' Kahmir- A house whose members are known for their physical beauty, intellect, and social prowess. This house trades in perfumes, silks, and boasts four generations of Mask and Sharess followers  adherents and acolytes. Many social influencers come from this house. 

el' Khateera- A rich house dating back decades. Many great warriors, military leaders, and tactical (gaming) minds have come from this house. Former followers of Bane, they converted to Cyric after the Time of Troubles. 

el' Namor- This eclectic house of Calishite spice merchants, market hagglers, wizards and spell casters is widely known in political circles. Their patron deity is Azuth. 

el' Shaheed- Secretive, another first Damphir Clan with ties to the Church of Shar who controls much of the Muzad and the Black Markets. One of the oldest families in Calimport.

el' Sufontis- A long established affluent house and trade consortium. Calishite merchants, who gained their fortunes brokering and trading Calishite silks around the world. This house claim to be founders of the exclusive Tailor’s Guild. 

el' Viilam-  A rich house of shrewd distrustful livestock breeders, traders, as well as talented shipwrights and ship builders originating Almraiven. 

el' Vjinn- A rich moneylender house dating back decades with many individuals in positions of city leadership. Many accomplished military and political minds have come from the training yards of this great house. Steadfast followers of Bane. 

el' Vyrsatyr- House el' Vyrsatyr is another moneylender house with ties to local government as well as the Silversmith's Guild. Before the Time of Troubles his house was known to organize the Dark Bazaar - Calimport's extemporaneous invitation only black market. 

The damphir clans (Shar's Children): 

Before the Time of Troubles there were two powerful damphir families in the Temple of the Old Night; both revered the Dark Goddess albeit in different ways. A third damphir clan was known to exist during the Shoon Imperium but this clan fell to base excess, loss and internal conflicts centuries ago. 

The el' Eradsari clan focused on Her aspects of darkness and the night whilst clan el' Shaheed placed their emphasis on Her aspects of shadow magic and obtaining power. Both houses controlled much of the Muzad and traded across planes of existence. 

During the Time of Troubles, it was purported the Dark Goddess took on three Avatars in Calimshan, each of them capable of creating complete new vampiric damphir bloodlines: Elsura el' Shaheed the 'Hand of Shar', Irtemara el' Eradsari the 'Dancer before Dawn', and Her war-general the succubus Nemeezka. 

For months these avatars reveled in the erratic jockeying of power while testing certain city leaders, social influencers and major houses for transformation in to Shar's children. 

Calim Desert Tribes the Ifrit Clans and the Brown Dragon of Calim

---

 

The Jhannivvar 

Jhannivvar Nomads/Raiders: Despite the harsh conditions and the unforgiving land, some people choose to live within the desert's confines. Sometimes called raiders (for their attacks on caravans along the Trade Way), the nomads of the Calim Desert migrate and live life similar to horse-lord nomads who keep close to known oasis that are loosely scattered across the desert. These clans consist of native Calishite humans, air siraati Jinnborn, and Slyph who have banded together to ensure their independence from oppression and affluence after the Time of Troubles. They partially support themselves by raiding and by recovering items and lost curios from the desert ruins of more than a dozen lost cities, selling them to others, or haggling them for items they need. All the recovered items are usually noteworthy to sages of history, architecture, or metalwork. The Jhannivvar commonly worship the Moon goddess as well as Shaundkul. 

The Painted Elves

The Painted Elves: More closely related to wild elves than high elves, painted elves commonly dwell in the northern petrified forests of Faeressar—which in ages past, before the coming of the warring genie lords, were their ancestral homes. The painted elves take their name from the nature of the wastes in which they dwell, but also from their habit of camouflaging themselves with pigments derived from the mineral deposits found in such places. Though they rarely see visitors—since painted deserts and petrified forests offer little in the way of resources—painted elves are extremely distrustful of outsiders, including other elves, and can turn on guests at the slightest provocation. The painted elves revere the Seldarine, but the deity that is held in the highest regard among the painted elves is Darahl Firecloak, the elven god of earth and fire magic.

The Asherati: Asheratis are a geographically established people who live below the sands and dunes of the Calim Desert, rising to the surface to hunt for food; to socialize and trade with other races; or to make war upon their enemies. As merfolk are to the sea, asheratis are to the sands. An asherati might be mistaken for a thin human under some circumstances—at least until the asherati’s rust-red skin begins to glow with a light all its own, or until he dives headlong into the nearest sand dune, disappearing without a trace. Asheratis are also extremely distrustful of outsiders and will attack a Yak Man on sight. Asheratis speak their own language, elven and dragonic. They venerate their own ancestral gods and believe in reincarnation- their spiritual leader is said to be thousands of years old. 

The Asherati Pesh traders Ishim, Puriel, and Gadreel gladly trade three forms of the desert cactus drug pesh: Pesh (15 gp), Pesh, black (100 gp), and Pesh, golden (50 gp). 

These highly addictive but useful drugs are obtained from these individuals with gems of equivalent value or magic items at half cost. Pesh (7.5 gp), Pesh, black (50 gp), and Pesh, golden (25 gp). The asherati traders do not trade with coin and come every three weeks. 

These drugs are often sold in exclusive Calimport clubs or on the back market- often times for twice the value. Pesh (30 gp), Pesh, black (200 gp), Pesh, golden (50 gp). 

Ishim, Puriel, and Gadreel also trade in alchemy and pheromones including: alchemical pheromones, aggression (150 gp), arousal (300 gp), simple (1 gp), and susceptibility (300 gp). 

Northern Ifrit

Southern Ifrit

The Sons and Daughters of Memnon (the Calim Desert Ifriti): Today's Calim Ifrits are split into two distinct clans defined by their customs, religious beliefs and are also identified by their physical appearance. Each of these clans can have up to 15 - 20 ifrit families. Northern Ifrit clans are gold-eyed humanoids with black skin colorations that renders camouflage in the shimmering heat of the desert. These northern clans have ancient customs, are very spiritual and commonly worship Kossuth. 

The southern Ifrit clans are also dark-skinned with black, red, auburn or sand colored hair. These clans are more aggressive and commonly raid caravans and smaller towns or outer wards of cities. These southern clans worship the old god Tempus, god of war and champion of the gods. Each clan is a patriarchal tribal society that places royal bloodlines in high importance. The Sultan of the clan is the leader and king of his territory and is said to be a bastard descendant of the great Efreeti Sultan Memnon. 

Both clans have, over the years, married sons and daughters of noble families across boundaries to promote better relations between the north and south ifriti. 

Two years ago, after the tragedy that befell the royal Khavari family, a rival ifrit clan challenged Sultan Ara's leadership. A noble Ifrit named Sigmis rose to prominence after the Sultan Ara Khavari was dishonored after the actions of members of his family. Sigmis was propelled into focus after Ara's rivals proved Sigmis' linage to Memnon and was thus able to dethrone Ara Khavari. 

Brown

Brown dragons, also known as sand or desert dragons, are great barbarous dragons that live under the dunes and desert sands. Naturally these dragons have sand colored scales for camouflage, though unlike other types of dragon their scales are leathery. They have webbed claws for burrowing, a scorpion like stinger tail, and very large, long mouths. Unlike most other types of dragons, brown dragons are wingless- much like the eastern dragons who still have the ability to fly. Brown dragons are an apex species among its kind; both ferocious and intelligent, it will actively hunt down other dragons in its territory. Brown dragons will mate several times and with multiple females throughout its life. 

The Brown Dragon of Calim is said to be unique and perhaps the last of its kind after the Time of Troubles. None, save for the Asherati know its true name. The dragon is rumored to lair in a desert ruin known only to Brown and the Asherati whom call the dragon friend. 

Letters from the Darkness

Malkarion Brokengulf

Sambar Moonstar- Pastor of the Infinite Dark, 

All Hail the Dark Mistress!

The Great Castle Discordia has received the last group of Rippers from your Circle last new moon, but unfortunately had to reject one of them. This leaves your sect short by one. 

Shaalabhak indicates another dozen Rippers will be required to complete our ultimate goal. A goal I remind you that has been two years in the making. We expect no less than five Rippers from your Circle on schedule. 

The first new moon of the year draws near. 

Included with this message are ten obsidian shards- pieces of the Night Throne crafted on the Shadowfell by the Dark Ranger. Each of these shards when broken will bring forth a shadow beast. Have your Circle use them at the onset of the First New Moon in the Hook Ward. These beasts are bread to scent out Her enemies. 

Shaalabhak’s garrison posted at the Lost Embassy expects to receive more Rippers from your Circle in due course after the new moon. 

Darkness protects us, Lady watch us, 

Sai Malkarion Brokengulf.

Mistress Esvele or Sai Brokengulf, Leaders in Darkness, 

All Hail the Dark Mistress. 

We’ve experienced a minor inconvenience at Wraith’s Haven. A rogue undertaker has drawn the attention of a cleric of Selune of House Moonstar and we believe, the known adventurers from Cormyr. The undertaker has been dealt with however, I imagine news of this Moonstar cleric may interest the Dark Ranger. 

Our Circle has identified several targets for the shadow beasts. Towards that end, our Circle is organizing against the Cormyreans and the clerics at the Lighthouse of Selune. 

We have also made contact with and have the cooperation of some of the ancient Calishite Damphir clans, a mercenary group of Crypt Ward Mask followers, and have earned the favor of one Druzir who has two valuable spies in play. 

Druzir… 

The Muzad

Muzad

The following is rumors, speculation and some truths about Calimport’s underdark city. Most of the information herein should be considered suspect and at best unreliable. 

The undercity contains lost city streets, collapsed bridges, buildings, and ancient, forgotten areas collectively known as the Muzhajaarnadah, the "city of shadow", or simply the "Muzad". 

The Muzad is said to be nearly a half mile deep. It was formed over the millennia from all the times Calimport was rebuilt over the dynasties as newer sections of the city were often built atop the old ones. 

Government: 

Secret Syndicate- A group of dark religious Chosen priestess rules the Muzad.

Elsura, Irtemara, and Nemeezka

Ward Qualities: 

Darkvision (Most of the citizens have darkvision or have adapted to subterranean  environment), Notorious (thieves guilds), Resettled Ruins, Subterranean, Unholy Site (Dark gods).

Known by a multitude of names from the Muzhahajaarnadah to the Undercity, Dark Calimport, and most often just the Muzad, the deeper city beneath the streets of Calimport is just as lively and dangerous as the surface metropolis above. 

The Undercity of Calimport is more than just a series of sewers and water ways- there are whole streets, buildings, courtyards, great halls, and other areas long buried and forgotten. With the many series of disasters to strike the city over the centuries, it is easy to understand the destruction was built over after time.

Since it encompasses the sewers and areas beneath, the Undercity ranges from 20 feet beneath the raised streets of Palace, Grand, and Emerald Wards to nearly a half-mile beneath Calimport's sewers.

There are so many mysteries hidden in the depths and the darkness of Calimport Muzad that they compare equally to the ruined wonders of Myth Drannor and the horrors of Undermountain beneath Waterdeep. 

The Upper Muzad

The original streets of Palace Ward, Grand Ward, and Jewel Ward are now paved over for ease of movement for the elevated social classes above them. The intent was to provide larger areas of mobility for the slaves and servants beneath the streets and out of sight, and the only lights down here are either torches carried in hand or what light streams down through the stairwells leading up to the new street level or the gates leading out into the open-air Port or Outer Wards. 

While it has taken some time, there are now many indigent people living beneath these streets, mostly free slaves (the Nadhari), ratfolk and other races such as the Caligni who find places of darkness home. 

In many places, the Upper Muzad is still normal aside from its bricked-over sky. However, at certain points near the western outskirts of the Undercity, under the Pasha's Palace, are gaping shafts, tunnels, and stairs leading deeper into the Muzad. These places are areas of interest among the power players of the Dark City who vie for control over these major accessways to the surface and the city. 

The Temple of Old Night

Shar's greatest stronghold anywhere on the Realms, the Temple of Old Night and its female dominated clergy control a third of all the territory in the eastern undercity. In effect, they control the dungeons and dark passages beneath Caravans, Crypt, Hammer, Maker’s, Quill, Wizard, and sections beneath Hook Ward including the ruined Church of Waukeen and Khanduq of the Coinmother in the Khanduq Ward. The actual central temple and altar for the Dark Goddess lies beneath the Wizard Ward.

The Temple of Old Night is the oldest of worship sites for Shar in Faerûn, and is the oldest plot of unholy ground in the World. Many know that the temple is beneath their feet, but since they do not know the extent of it, they fear Shar and her darkness even more. 

The high priestess Irtemara el Eradsari 'the Dancer before Dawn' easily controls numerous powers of the surface world directly or indirectly through the Temple’s machinations of numerous illicit businesses in Calimshan.

Other known Chosen of Shar are Elsura el-Shaheed, a former avatar of Loss for the dark goddess during the Time of Troubles and Nemeezka, a succubi and handmaiden of the night.

The Sewers

The sewers are 15-foot- and 30-foot-wide sewage-filled tunnels with sluice gates and some flowing water. Access paths alongside the main tunnels allow a slightly more sanitary passage through them, but these paths are far from being safe walkways. And the sewers are not simply filled with waste and refuse.... they also contain a caged and stunted Otyugh at key sewer intersections. These smaller than their larger cousins are maintained by the public works guilds for the purposes of waste management. 

There are at least two separate sewer systems in Calimport, one of which was nearly destroyed centuries ago and replaced by the newer sewers as discussed above. The abandoned tunnels, while partially collapsed and destroyed or blocked in places, provide homes and byways for other creatures capable of maneuvering the tight spaces and reaching long forgotten cellars of buildings buried into the Muzad.

These Lost Sewers have been conquered in most areas by a number of wererat consortiums which number no less than 500 wererats in total throughout the Muzad, in at least seven separate collectives. Their leaders, more cunning than previous wererats, have linked their Lost Sewers with the current sewers, and they use these to attempt to usurp the surface controlled thieves’ guilds from the Muzad. Other lycanthropes have joined with the wererats in the form of six wereboar enforcers.
