So, long story short, the newly released Total War: Warhammer has reawakened a bit of my interest in Fantasy lore, and I've been googling more obscure stuff, like the Wood Elves in Laurelorn in Nordland and whatnot.
Anyway, I came across this timeline on a site, and read through much of it, and there's a lot there I've never heard of before, like ancient human empires in the badlands (aside from Khemri, I mean), human civilization in Lustria (aside from the Amazons) and so on.

Part of why I'm asking is because there's some stuff there's that's really quite interesting (pre-Druchii humans in Naggaroth for example) and on the other hand there are some
really cringeworthy things, like Aleksandr the Conqueror of the Hellene City-states, or Prophet Mulhaed al-Quayt launching a jihad against the empire of Constantin which would eventually be renamed to Istrabul.
