I decided to update this chunk of the hain timeline, now that we actually have a timeline reference point. Please feel free to help me out with specific orderings. Currently everything is marked 'c.' for circa, seeing as the order matters more than the timespan. If people would like to help my sanity while this is being added to, please do add a circa year PR on your posts. It's not compulsory but I would be most appreciative. Also keep in mind that with the new turn system, probably less is going to be crammed into a few years at a time. [hider][center][h2][i]The Blinding Purge and the Bronze Age[/i][/h2][/center] 0 PR: Logos' realta storm Galbar from all directions. Countless are caught in their indiscriminate fire, marking the largest planetwide massacre in existence. The attacks last for between a few days and a few weeks before stopping. c. 1 PR: Death of Kyre at the hands of Xos. c. 1 PR: Tauga the Blowfly, a Jvannic hain, unites a predominantly hain slave community in Xerxes to rebuild the city in Amartia's absence. Coinage is conceived. c. 1 PR: Amartia returns to Xerxes with the Fallen Victors and assumes control from Tauga in an apparently peaceful handover. c. 2 PR: Keriss visits Xerxes. Her reputation is recorded. c. 2 PR: Keriss and Tauga meet. c. 2 PR: After failed attempts to set the city back to order, Tauga leaves Xerxes with the last sane emigrants. Xerxes is bathed in Amartia's deluge of bloodlust a short time after. c. 2 PR: Under the guidance of Gerrik Far-Teacher, the tribe of Fibeslay build the world's first lighthouse to receive boats from the East. Chipper superstitions are shaken in the tribe. c. 3 PR: The armies of Amestris and Xerxes meet to decide the ultimate fate of Amestris. Vestec abducts the city into a massive arena in his Realm of Madness. Lifprasil's cosmic knights win a pyrrhic victory and a hole in the ground remains the only trace of the great city of Xerxes. Tauga the Blowfly is named Marquis of Amestris by Lifprasil. c. 3 PR: Edda, the marked hain of Toun's will, lands at Loralom. c. 3 PR: The Loralom Spires burst out of the ground, rallying the hain of Yorum to the Marked Hain Edda and King Akol the Quickhatched. c. 3 PR: 'The Tragedy of the Scaled Goddess,' a ubiquitous oral hain story is spread following Keriss' tryst with a hain in a village near the Venomweald, resulting in the village's destruction. Versions of the story diverge wildly as to its final act. c. 3 PR: Gerrick the apprentice brings agriculture, flint and steel sparking, and cold forging to the hain community of Tallgrass in Mesathelassa. After a time, he also independently innovates agriculture, as it had not reached that part of the world by then. c. 3 PR: The ogre king Ommok invades and occupies hain tribal confederations between the Venomweald and the Shimmering Sea. c. 3 PR: Xerxian refugees under Tauga inhabit the north-Metatic island of Axotal. c. 4 PR: Legends of Aihtiraq the Wishdjinn spread. c. 4 PR: Occult alchemy is spread through sculptors via Teknall's whispers. c. 4 PR: Stories of Farxus, the Deathbed Counsellor permeate through Hain folklore from those surviving near-death experiences. c. 4 PR: The Metera Valley community develop worship of the Painter Chiral Phi. c. 4 PR: Stories of Anthanasios, the half-beast healer, spread throughout Galbar. c. 4 PR: Urtelem are imparted with mathematically precise Belruarcian rune magic by Teknall. Hain communities previously unprotectable from powerful threats by Urtelem now find their rocky allies much more capable. c. 5 PR: The Celestial Citadel plummets into the Vetruvian Desert. Vizier Ventus' death causes worldwide instability in weather patterns. c. 5 PR: Teknall rebuilds the fallen and ruined Celestial Citadel into the Terrestrial Citadel, leaving it for any worthy inhabitants. Clockdog is always worthy. c. 5 PR: Vestec gathers and remakes Kyre's shattered sword, before granting it to Aeramen, the Djinni Lord of the Hilt, founding the Knight Protectors. c. 5 PR: Helvana, the Corvian Witch, saves a hain village from a trapped realta. c. 6 PR: The communities living on Axotal (including the refugees from Xerxes) develop great innovations in ship design, navigation, and metallurgy. [/hider] The reason Kyre's death is so early in the piece is basically due to Conata setting out soon after the realta attack and meeting Aeramen. Aeramen mentions that Kyre has been 'quiet' at the time, which was meant to hint that the god had died by that point. Why it took a few years for the current hullabaloo to come around can be put down to divine timescaling.
