Notes

This section contains footnotes for the overall Timeline.

The Fall of The Dominion

1. The proper designation for MA (Mythical Age) is not used until after the start of The Years of the Renewed Kingdoms.
2. There is no written form, and so oral tradition is the means of information being passed on. Pictures and symbols are also used to a degree.
3. Chaos reigns on the borders of the Tribes’ lands.
4. These wise men are the first leaders among the tribes, but are more teachers than rulers. Losdejim teaches them the basics of his teachings and the way to reach the tribes’ new lands.

The Anointed Kingdoms

5. The details of the Seven Tribes' settling:

   • The people of what comes to be known as the Anorthile region settle near the Villevri Falls.
   • The people of what comes to be known as the Driesefair region settle around the Nesarväthair Lake.
   • The people of what comes to be known as the Gorandel region settle just east of the Vossôthos Forest.
   • The people of what comes to be known as the Lamniemalos region settle near the Seshen Bedros.
   • The people of what comes to be known as the Narthendar region settle around Voshellas.
   • The people of what comes to be known as the Nosmalos region region settle near the Shëa Hellasos.
   • The people of what comes to be known as the Vishethas region settle around the Hali Falliros.
6. The Night Stones are cast into the northern waters and deep caverns of the northern mountains of Narthendar, so that they may gather strength unnoticed.
7. Other factors include the lifespans of normal men are growing shorter as time goes on, as well as Losdejim’s impending death. Driomi also sees what the Drevril are planning and decides the tribes will need stronger identities and leaders of great power to be ready for the coming troubles.
8. The Seven Anointed Kingdoms were built under the guidelines set by Losdejim. Also the Anorthile Kingdom has its capital moved to Thal Shiath.
9. Many Celestial words were now given Noralar equivalents, including: Mellendil becomes known as Driomi, the universe is now called Ethesh, the world Jevreth, the continent Althas, etc.
10. The pure tongue cannot be translated into written form and thus falls out of use quickly. People forget the meanings of its words.
11. Old Maelan spreads among people in the countryside as it is a simpler tongue than Noralar.

The New Night Stones and The First War, "The War of Man and Beast"

12. Many Nomshethairos escape though (especially lesser ones), and scatter across Jevreth.
13. This Night Stone will later be known as the Thrandole Stone.
14. This Night Stone will later be known as the Basech Stone.
15. These islands will later be called the Esheliros Basech.

The Second War, “The War of Kings”

16. A long period of small skirmishes, rather than large battles, ensue.
17. They believe Althas is doomed, seeking new lands. These vessels will eventually land on the continent of Dritameshi.

The Northern Interregnum

18. Mundríce is given more autonomy than the other vassals in Althas, including North and South Narthendar.

The Birth of Magic and the First Chosen

19. The Seven Chosen take vows of chastity, so that their gifts would not pass to future generations.
20. Some of those who are given the gift of Magic abused their power, nor did they follow vows of chastity that the Chosen did.
21. Losjefi prophesies for two years and is then exiled. He roams the seas and islands around Althas for the remainder of his life.

The Jevrethor and The Schism

22. Many are brought to Nandorthel to be studied and experimented on, leading to their harsh mistreatment, with or without the knowing of the head of the Temple or the Kings. All of this is kept quiet from The Vanguard and the other Anointed kingdoms.
23. This begins a roughly 200 year period of division between these two groups of kingdoms. There is great tension and little political interaction.
24. It is decided that, in order to maintain autonomy, the Temple and Academy must have its own protectors and individuals capable of carrying out certain missions.
25. The formation of the Vasomi does not halt tensions.

The Great Tourney

26. Driesefair uses this event to regain respect with the other kingdoms after its part in the Vasomi incident. A rivalry also quickly builds between Gorandel and Anorthile, who often use the event to help gain recognition for their ideas within each other’s borders.
27. rogue champion has learned much in deep Magic, which allowed him to become stronger and faster in his fight against Courian.
28. They learn that rogue champion escaped a terrible existence at the hands of a cruel governor in a city in northwestern Driesefair. The hatred which the people treated him with from the day of his birth convinced him that he must bring down the reign of mathusalos in order to establish a place for himself and other Jevrethor. His hatred foreshadows what is to come centuries later.
29. Despite the pleading of The Vanguard and Vasomi with Gorandel, Gorandel still will not change their policies concerning the Jevrethor. They do, however, try to greatly increase the security of their outposts and keep better track of what happens throughout the regions.

The Ironrend Massacre and the end of The Schism

30. Jevrethor in Anorthile, Nosmalos, and Vishethas are usually sent to The Vanguard to be taught and raised, but because the Vanguard’s stronghold is in Gorandel territory, the system suffers many complications.
31. The escaped Jevrethor devastate Ironrend, massacring many of its residents. They storm southeast and kill any mathusalos they encounter, scattering the people in their wake.
32. The Jevrethor and najiros of Gorandel are powerful. However, the Jevrethor of Gorandel are very young (some little more than children). Also, most are extremely simple, ignorant and unexposed to the outside world. This innocence is their undoing in the battle. The cries of the young Jevrethor of Gorandel give the battle the name “The Night of Wailing.”
33. The heroism of The Vanguard and their sacrifice to save Gorandel and stop the march of the rogue Jevrethor becomes a great tale of heroism throughout Althas.
34. Gorandel adopts the philosophy of the Vanguard concerning the Jevrethor and begin working with them and establishing outposts to help fight the small groups that would continue oppressing the Jevrethor regardless of decree.
35. More will come to join Fevron and help establish the independent realm of Lambitelor.
36. Despite the healing of the tensions between the Kingdoms, the damage that had been done could not be undone. The reputation of the Jevrethor among the common people has been so severely marred by the Night of Wailing and The Ironrend Massacre that it has not recovered completely even to this day.

The Losjefi Heresy

37. These doctrines are pro-Magic, drawing in many najiros and Jevrethor (who are considered like "demi-gods"). The people who believe and follow Losjefi are known as Vrolovairos.
38. After Losvilleth's death, the doctrines are declared heretical. However, Losvilleth's popularity restrains the Temples' and Academys' hands.
39. The Vrolovairos are divided between the two pupils. While the Vrolovairos are all considered heretics, Lositaleth’s people are more tolerated. Namseshi’s people are more discriminated against, especially as Jevrethor join them. Many believe they are insurrectionists in disguise.
40. It is believed that Namseshi's followers reached another land far on the other side of Jevreth (Dritameshi).

The Basech Incident

41. Instead of recreating the poison, they find a way to create it into a gaseous form (Nemnesheth).
42. This prevents the Sheäjathi fleet from approaching the islands. As they want a simultaneous attack from both fleets, the two fleets wait.
43. Bodies are found of those who apparently fought in some battle. Their remains lay unburied. The Sheäjathi fleet remains to investigate.
44. The remnants Sheäjathi force say that the rest have vanished, along with most of their supplies, and that two of their ships were sunk by another strange storm as they tried to escape. The King of Anorthile suspects this is the work of a Night Stone.

The Night Stone Resurgence

45. With the Jevrethor now working freely alongside The Vanguard and in Gorandel, great advances were able to be made in Magic.
46. This search occurs after the King of Anorthile suspected that Night Stones survived the War of Kings and may even be growing in number. More Night Stones are suspected to be hidden elsewhere.
47. Given the resurgence of the Night Stones, the Anointed decide to focus on fortifying their forces and increasing their watchfulness within their own borders.
48. These western islands are named Esheliros Shûvrall. The King of Gorandel and King of Vishethas also intend to set up outposts and colonies on the islands to assist the Vasomi and Vanguard in seeking out the remaining Night Stones that may be hidden off the mainland.

The Esheliros Shûvrall and its Night Stone

49. Lord Bregdan is a secret ally of Lambitelor and shares in that land’s views on magic and especially the Jevrethor. He has several Jevrethor held secretly captive.
50. Lord Bregdan stole the stone in order to use its power to control his captive Jevrethor and lead a rebellion to take over all of Narthendar, and help bring the Kings of Lambitelor back to Lamniemalos.
51. Lord Bregdan goes mad brooding over the Stone’s power. His use of the Stone causes a storm to emerge that sends his ship off course along the northern coast of Narthendar and sinks somewhere in the icy northern waters.
52. The tribe, one of a few set of Morbearn tribes that migrated to the islands during the The War of Kings, begin worshiping the Night Stone.
53. This apprentice in the Vanguard attempted to use the Neser Theni to look into the future. The vision severely damaged his mind, and he steals the Nesar Theni.
54. Caldaega, previously unknown to the kingdoms of Althas, becomes known when Staelan speaks with a Morbearn tribe who pass on rumors that Morbearn kinsmen on those islands, who fled there during the War of Kings period, have begun worshiping a dark artifact in recent years.
55. Staelan plans to send the Night Stone to Gorandel to destroy it. Staelan’s son, Wealcan, much like his grandfather, holding a deep hatred for Jevrethor (one of which killed his sister in his youth). He intends to carry out his grandfather’s plan, enslaving the Jevrethor and using them to establish an anti-Jevrethor state similar to Lambitelor in Narthendar and Lamniemalos.

The Plight of the Jevrethor

56. The Vanguard and The Vasomi also send out agents to search for any Night Stones that may exist in the island nation, beyond The Vanguard and The Vasomi’s official reach.
57. The Shûvrall Stone has yet to be found, and The Vanguard fear the worst.
58. The Vanguard become suspicious of Folgere. Strange rumors coming out of North Narthendar cause them to redouble their watchfulness over the Narthendar region.
59. The King of Lambitelor has fed the agents false information for years and has slowly pieced together exactly who they work for.
60. Heofon becomes renowned for consulting with The Guardians more than previous Vanguard leaders.
