This is named the year in which the Lacrima was first taken to the royal court of Crocus by the genius inventor Grenouire Ribáldo Lacrím. The documents of Lacrím are unclear on which day he actually produced the first successful Lacrima, but it is assumed that some two years prior to the Advent of Eos he was already finished. It is also noted that he never intended it to become such an impactful invention, and his attempts to sell it to the royal court of Eos were initially based on a lack of funds for his other research.[break][break][break]
It took the mages of the royal court many years to realize the full potential of the Lacrima. But once they did, and the item began getting mass produced, it quickly sparked a massive revolution in Eos. Not only for the benefit of the royal court. But it opened new jobs for the population, mining the materials necessary to create Lacrima, working in the process of purifying the material, and transporting it into and out of Eos. The city's economy grew exponentially, and it didn't take long until trade deals with other kingdoms began.[break][break][break]
The Great Serran Migration kicked off with the movement of the people of the kingdom of Berkel into Eos, an until then rivaling kingdom in Valor that simply failed to keep up with the economic progress Eos created. In the following years even people from outside the province, from kingdoms and villages from all across Serra took on pilgrimage to Eos, giving the namesake for this historical event. This massive influx in population and the desperate need for proper infrastructure and order in the growing kingdom resulted in the Border Security Act of X371, which decreed that the kingdom of Crocus, now the kingdom of Eos, would not be taking in any more migrants.[break][break][break]
To ensure the safety of Eos' borders and the stability of the kingdom the monarchy enacted the The Border Security Act. An emergency decree that prevented migrants from coming into Eos and allowed Eos' army to use force for trespassers into the kingdom. For the following decade Eos was closed off to the rest of Serra to allow the kingdom to expand its territory and habitable space to deal with issues of overpopulation. An unwelcome addendum to the Border Security Act was the Public Safety Clause. A stipulation that forbade public use and research of magic that was unsanctioned by the royal court. This act was allegedly passed in response to the increasing number of accidents, murders and destruction in property caused by the influx of mages into Eos, but was ultimately used to seize power from the people and place it in the hands of nobility. Especially affected were mutants, who were persecuted by the monarchy and often times executed or imprisoned for their supposed unlawful use of magic.[break][break][break]
The political tensions between the people of Eos and the monarchy rose in the years following the Border Security Act. Historians suggest that while the actual revolution started in X440, the building blocks were set throughout the Era of Monarchial Oppression by writers and philosophers who ultimately inspired the main leader, Jeremiah Grimm, to turn against the royal court with violence. The revolution of Eos lasted five years. From the time in which the military command was toppled and violently decimated by revolutionary mages, to the final year that ended with Jeremiah Grimm's imprisonment by the Etherim Council.[break][break][break]
X444 is known as the first year of the Council's existence. It was held by elected officials from every part of Eos to nominate the Council's first Arbiter, Jericho Strauss. He was an important leader in the revolution and a former friend of Jeremiah Grimm from whom the idea for an elected Council of capable mages originated. He headed the Etherium Conclave and proposed many of the rules that Eos still follows today during this Conclave. Following the creation of the Council, Eos' borders were opened again, and the news of the first free kingdom spread like a wildfire throughout Serra, causing a renewed influx of people from all across Serra.[break][break][break]
Only a year after the Etherium Conclave was held, Jeremiah Grimm continued his actions against the city of Eos by murdering the remaining members of the last royal family in an attempt to show that oppression would not be over until monarchy everywhere was abolished. He was branded a terrorist by the Council and was to be arrested and persecuted without violence. However, before the arrest could take place Grimm and the remainder of his followers tried to flee the city. Before they could do so they were confronted Jericho Strauss and the Council's forces. The ensuing battle claimed a large part of Eos' southern border. A region now known as Kingdom's Edge.
