TIMELINE (cont'd)(All dates are pre/post the Amric treaty which ended the Killing Wars.)
|
|
The Nesak Reign |
||
| - 550 | Nesaks assume power by right of duel. | |
| - 500 to -400 | Period of expansion and exploration, dominated by San Nersal, Admiral and mekan'st to Ava K'isk Nesak. SanHome and Knotted Strings discovered. | |
| - 380 | Overthrow of the puritanical Nesak Ava K'isk III in Fourth Civil War. Liege of Nersal granted previously Nesak holding of Black Hearth, on Fountain Court. Nesak purists withdraw from court to SanHome. (Havam Vrel is Vrellish Admiral in action against Nesaks in Red Vrel.) | |
|
Lorel "puppet masters" |
||
| -350 to -40 |
Population depleted by 4th Civil war, Okal Rel is more than ever important and strongly promoted by those like House Nersal and the H'Usians with the most to lose by more space warefare and also diminished power like Dem and Vrel. Okal Rel is simultaneously threatened by manouvering behind the scenes by Lorel and Lor'Vrellish king makers, sometimes involving the Monatese. The Monatese develop accute scruples to distance themselves from individual Lorels caught and executed on Ava's Square. Monitum's survival depends on its absolutely trustworthy reputation as a middle man for Luverthanian technology. Attempted genetic tinkering to alter future generations is a recurring theme, the pain training of gorarelpul to make them immune to torture is motivated by court struggles in this period. This is also the era of "dresu bondage", "fixing" duels and secret communication with Luverthan. |
|
| - 34 | Fifth civil war, in which last Lorelites at court are slaughtered or flee to mysterious Luverthan. Lor'Vrellish survivors Sela Lor'Vrel and Avatlan Lor'Vrel are forced into child contracts and Avatlan sires Ameron by Ava-Trenseel Vrel. | |

| + 11 | Ameron lost in Long Jump fleeing from Reetion Summit following assassination attempt. | |
| +11 to +18 | Chaos Years. Competition for the Throne grievously reduces the numbers of Purebloods. | |

| 20 to 169 | A hundred fifty years of relative stability at court, with the odd Demish/Vrellish breakout, with Nesaks clans making bids here and there to grab territory. Nersallian assistance to the Demish, against Nesaks in Killing Reach, results in the founding of House Bryllit. | |
