Timeline - Undetermined Chronology

UNDETERMINED CHRONOLOGY
________

Events which cannot be dated by current knowledge.

-Akuran, the Source of All Things, creates physical reality infused with gralic force.

-Akuran creates two equal opposing transcendental entities, Halar-Koth and Enas-Goth. After this, Akuran takes no further action and is thought to withdraw from reality.

-Halar-Koth creates lesser entities, the Halarin. These are Jordyn, Eryasha and Cirkoth. Enas-Goth creates the Halarim of Draldros, Margoth and Grelok.

-In some unknown manner sometimes attributed to Draldros, several species of dinosaurs are able to tap gralic force which gives them enhanced strength and longevity. Some are able to emit superheated exhalations. The Dragons survive the mass extinctions which wipe out the dinosaurs and continue to exist through the following eras.

-The earliest hominids reach a tipping point of consciousness which draws the Halarin and Halarim to descend to the real world and station their presence here.

-Draldros begins his process of imitation by guiding the evolution of a reptile species to closely mimic the developing Humans. These reptiles become the Snake men.

-In an attempt to reach consensus, the Halarin and Halarim work together to create the Sulla Chun.

-The Halarin create the Eldanarin from Humans, and the Halarim respond in imitation by creating the Darthim. Soon after, the Halarin create Trom from Humans and the Halarim create Trolls from Humans.

-The Eldanar Age. Undetermined era of peaceful guidance by the Eldanarin over the other Races. Knowlege of this period survives only in dim legends and folklore.

-The Corruption. On the isle of Ulgor, thirteen Sulla Chun mentally summon mystics and warriors from all over the world to infuse them with secrets of tapping the gralic force. These arts include shape-shifting, Alchemy, puppetry, Voodoo, vampirism and god-gating. Among those present at the Corruption are Tollinor, Sinjir, Wakimbe, Malberon and Karina.

-The Halarim intervene, sinking Ulgor beneath the ocean in an unprecedented cataclysm. They slay some of the Sulla Chun and imprison the remaining ones in the Spaces Between Spaces. Draldros resists this but Margoth and Grelok do not support him; overpowered by the three Halarin, Draldros is exiled into the first of the adjacent realms, Fanedral, which he may not leave.

-Tollinor imprisons a wounded Sulla Chun beneath the Burning Pyramid on the island of Maroch. He learns to siphon off immense gralic force from the dying entity, giving Darthan magick unprecedented potency. Tollinor becomes the first Kje, establishes himself as ruler of his Race.

-In a short time, the now irresistable Darthim overwhelm resistance by the other Races and assume complete dominance of the world. Even the Eldanarin largely retreat to Elvedal in disarray. This begins the Darthan Age.

-Tollinor modifies Humans to become amphibious creatures which can thrive in ocean depths and repopulate sunken Ulgor. These become the Gelydrim, last of the Seven Races to appear.

-To help mitigate the damage done by the Corruption, Jordyn establishes the Order of Tel Shai. Through visions and dreams, he instills creative and useful knowledge into the minds of Tel Shai Teachers.

-The Darthim rule for over a thousand years of tyranny and oppression. In the year 1192 of their calendar, Tollinor infuses a Human fetus with traits of all Seven Races. He raises this hybrid child to become a living weapon and enforcer of his will but Romal rebels, escapes from Maroch and wanders the world. This is where our first recorded tales begin.
