TIMELINE
(All dates are pre/post the Amric treaty which ended the
Killing Wars.)
|
| -1,100 |
|
Earth discovers faster-than-light drive nicknamed "reality
skimming" and founds Alpha Colonies |
| -1,080 |
Contact with Alpha Colonies lost due to jump destabilization |
| -1,070 |
Self-evolved ltd. founded in response to need for tougher
humans to explore rich potential beyond "G" gate. VR and DM lines
established |
| -1,030 |
Self-Evolved geneticist Amanda Lorel sides with renegade pilots
called "Beyonders" based on planet G-LN and helps establish colony
in which VRs and DMs participate as equals. Term "sevolite" applies
to Lorel's own genetically improved line, as well as Self-Evolved's VR and
DM products. |
|
Period of Lorel Dominance
|
| -1,000 |
War with Earth leads to the foundation of a Sevolite empire,
based on planet Gelion (G-LN). Contact with Earth is lost. Rise of sevolites
as dominant group and Okal Rel as philosophy/religion |
| - 970 |
House Monitum formed by (commoner) Beyonders and (Sevolite)
Lorels, following discovery of Monitum Reach. |
| - 950 |
Lorel/Vrellish discovery of Red Vrel. Prompted First Civil
War in which Lorels were slaughtered by Vrellish. Vrel-sympathizing Monitum
evicts Demish from Monitum. |
| - 900 |
Rise of the hybrid houses under Lorel and Lor'Vrellish Avas.
"Discovery" of Luverthan (Earth) by Lorels. Exploration under
Lorel-influenced Vrellish and Demish turns up hotly contested Alliance Reach
and Demish Net. |
| - 800 to -792 |
Second Civil War (Purity Wars) between Golden Demish and Black Vrel,
the Golden Demish working through and sometimes controlled by impure allies
and Lorel mastermind. Further genetic manipulation by Lorel. Black Vrel
(actually hybrid) declares itself a pure line. Dem'Vrel, Lor'Vrel and
H'Usians all acknowledged hybrids. War ends with Golden Demish assuming
the Throne. Monatese civil war, ending in realignment with Lor'Vrel and
important monopoly on access to Luverthanian medicine. Reigning Demish
line actually Lor'Demish.
Commoners lose most civil rights, conscience bonding imposed on educated
commoners. Segregation of commoners and sevolites in education. "Palace
College" becomes Gorarelpul college.
|
| |
Demish Golden Age
|
| - 780 to -650 |
Black Vrellish now calling themselves Nesaks. Chronic fighting over Alliance
Reach and Red Vrel, with Demish aiding whoever their own logic tells them
is the underdog which has the net effect of sustaining the debilitating
war. Dem'Vrel exterminated. Vrellish resentment of Demish court. Nesak
priesthood emerging which has absorbed some of Lorel space lore in ritual
knowledge.
Slow loss of Golden Demish power to H'Usians. Invasions of Monitum in
which Sanctuary comes in handy. Sputtering clan warfare with Golden Demish/H'usians
riding on top. Okal Rel wavers but is firmly re-established.
|
| - 610 |
Alliance Reach named for the successful alliance between Prince
Nersal Nesak and a Lor'Vrellish Pureblood who found House Nersal in the
aftermath, carving a private empire out of chaos both in the contested Vrellish
reaches and disintegrating health of the Golden court. |
| -600 to - 550 |
Third Civil War (Demish Wars) Conflict between
H'Usian hybrids, Blue Demish and Goldens (whom both wish to control and
influence but find not entirely powerless) slowly winds down the Demish
Golden Age as Nesaks gain power |
