Below is a timeline which contains a rough estimate of events that have occurred in tGA's verse.

Mists of Time[]

Gaea comes into being and gives birth to the gods. The Void War between the gods and the eldritch primordials, the Essence in Light and the Watcher in Darkness, rages on until the primordials are sealed into an interdimensionary prison.

The gods create the Land of the Living and populate it with various races, including faerfolc, dragons, giants and lefein. Gods end up clashing with one another, beginning the War of the Gods.

The god-brothers Mardük, Paedün and Thoth grow tired of the divine conflict and go explore the Cosmos, eventually ending up in the Demon Realm where they settle into and befriend the demons who call them Wolf, Tinker and Dreamweaver.

News of a strange shadow threatening the Land of the Dead reach the gods' ears, and they're all summoned to the High Plane to discuss the threat. Marduk, Paedün and Dreamweaver are sent to study the threat because they have the most knowledge about travelling between various planes of existence.

The three brothers locate the source of the threat, the Unnamed Evil, and end up fighting against it but cannot prevail. Dreamweaver sacrifices himself to buy his brothers some time and sends Mardük and Paedün to gather reinforcements so that the Evil can be defeated. None of the gods come to their aid, however, and Mardük and Paedün return to save their brother, only to see that they're too late as the Evil has already possessed Dreamweaver who is now calling himself Death. After a long battle, the brothers can do nothing but merely imprison Death into the heart of the realm and leave him there for all eternity.

Paedün and Mardük, shaken by the events they witnessed in the Land of the Dead, respond to the threat posed by Death in different ways. Paedün rallies his Lefein and begins building machines of war should Death ever be freed. Mardük decides to harness the dark power used by Death to make his demon followers stronger, but in the end the dark power twists demons into dark shadows of their former selves, giving rise to the demons. Demons begin telling tales of their god's origins, known as the Legend of the Three Brothers.

The War of the Gods ends as the gods mourn the loss of Thoth. The gods breed with various mortal races who give birth to demigods, also known as Andain, such as Kagetsu I (fathered by Mardük) and Taliesin (fathered by Cardia).

Foundation of Sul'gar Minh, the oldest known nation in the Land of the Living which rules the world for a while until its sudden and mysterious fall. The history of the nation is forgotten 100 years before the rise of Ancient Maar Sul.

Foundation of Barjassil, the second oldest nation.

First Age[]

The First Age began with the founding of Ancient Maar Sul and ended with the First Banishment of the demon lord Yurius.

The age witnessed great technological progress, including airships, warp gates and armors that granted flight. It also witnessed devastating wars against Kagetsu, the fallen god Mardük, the usurper regent Jemuel, the warlord Sydney Losstarot as well as a large-scale invasion of demons. By the end of the age the Floating Continent of Alent fell into the sea, and the god Paedün and the Lefein were sealed away, thus beginning the regression of technological advancement as Lefeinish and Alentish inventions faded from memory.

The Elder Races gave way to the Younger Races such as humans, elves and dwarves who populated the world although humanity would turn out to be the most enduring race of all, spreading the fastest and pushing elves and dwarves into isolated areas.

Maar Sul Genesis[]

0 MSG[]

Foundation of Ancient Maar Sul by Kagetsu Aurelac who is elected Lord of the Andain and who turns Maar Sul into a nation where all races can live in harmony. It marks the beginning of the Maar Sul Genesis (MSG) calendar as well as the beginning of recorded history in the Land of the Living.

The kingdoms of Maar Sul and Barjassil share the megacontinent, each one governing one side of the known world.

66 MSG[]

The dark dragon Frazzn'korth, swayed by Death's influence and whispers, starts terrorizing everyone and sways many dragons to his side. A group of sages from the Stormborn cult create the Dragon Diamond and seal the dragon's soul into it. However, the Kingdom of Dar'Cenrath, its people and the sages are destroyed in the process, and the Dragon Diamond is forgotten in the ruined city which is now known as the Ruined Kingdom. Before vanishing, the Stormborn leave behind other artifacts as well such as the Lebenslied and Totentanz tomes, Scepters of the Stormborn, and ruins built on top of places of power.

The archdemon Malakhia d'Zarnagon is betrayed by his wife Nhrakate d'Zarnagon and driven out of the Demon Realm into exile. Due to the shock caused by Frazzn'korth's sealing, Malakhia is able to cross over to the Land of the Living where he disguises himself a human, enters Barjassil and quickly gains favour in King Anshar's court, and becomes known as the Oracle.

69 MSG[]

Haruko Mizushima kills her kitsune mentor Inari Okami due to Death's manipulations, and Inari's death by murder ends up poisoning and weakening the core of the once pure Yggdrasil, the World Tree, which the kitsune have been protecting. Haruko escapes with her renegade lover Katsutoshi Kobayashi from the Grove and forms the Band of the Fox with Shark and Vulture, beginning a life of crime and deceit in Barjassil. Haruko meets the gods Laverna the Goddess of Thieves and Dionysus the God of Madness some time later and pledges herself to her, becoming Laverna's second high cleric after Katsutoshi.

70 MSG[]

Haruko has a brief fling with the Oracle which results in the birth of their halfbreed daughter Midori Mizushima who is forcibly taken from her to be raised as King Anshar's daughter as the future Crown Princess of Barjassil.

75 MSG[]

Haruko retrieves Midori and the Dragon Diamond from Barjassil, and they and the Band of the Fox flee from the pursuing Barjassil Royal Guard while Haruko tries to reconnect with Midori. In the pursuit which lasts for months, the group is wounded and has to leave Midori behind because she slows them down and endangers the whole group with her presence. The devastated Haruko has an argument over this fact with Katsutoshi, but they eventually reconcile which leads to Haruko getting pregnant with twins.

76 MSG[]

After having eluded pursuers for a year, Katsutoshi and Haruko (who is in later stages of pregnancy) grow suspicious that they may have a traitor in their group who is giving out their position to their adversaries. Eventually they discover the traitor to be Vulture who they injure fatally in the resulting skirmish.

When the Royal Guard led by Captain Gilgamesh and the Oracle show up once more to surround the Band of the Fox, it turns out that Vulture has in fact been framed by Shark who is the true traitor. Vulture uses his necromantic powers to summon his own ghost from beyond and battles the Royal Guard before his spiritual essence fades away, and Katsutoshi and Haruko use this distraction to flee to the Circle of Thorns to enact a plan by Laverna and Dionysus who then inhabit the couple's bodies.

Haruko and Katsutoshi end up sealed into magical cystals where they will slumber for millennia while Vulture's children, the Finian Clan, swear to find a way to free Haruko to fulfill the oath made by their father. Oracle, revealing himself as the demon Malakhia, gains the power of the Dragon Diamond until it backfires and makes him lose his memory while teleporting both him and the diamond away.

Shark returns to Barjassil with Gilgamesh to receive his title as a reward for betraying the Band and becomes known as Duke Koschei Dravaris. The Dragon Diamond is lost until it somehow finds it way back to the Ruined Kingdom.

80 MSG[]

King Anshar of Barjassil, having grown old and no longer able to produce heirs after Midori's disappearance, fears the growing power of the ambitious and ruthless Court of Judges and the now insane Gilgamesh who he knows will take over the kingdom once he is gone. In a desperate last ditch effort he contacts Kagetsu and asks him to annex Barjassil with Ancient Maar Sul, thus making sure that the judges', Gilgamesh's and Dravaris's plans will never be realized. Barjassil is annexed with Maar Sul soon after, officially making Maar Sul the greatest nation in the known world.

Gilgamesh, boosted by the powers he had received from Malakhia, kills the Court of Judges and ultimately tracks down and slays Anshar for ruining his plans by the time the annexation takes place. He wages a war against Maar Sul but eventually loses, ending up on a remote island where he is sealed into a magic crystal so that he can never again harm anyone.

87 MSG[]

Kagetsu is corrupted by Mardük's growing madness and by Death's subtle manipulations and declarates war on the gods. The War of the Andain begins. Gaea appears in the flesh to try to sway Kagetsu to stop fighting but Kagetsu slays her, proving to both mortals and gods that gods can be killed if they appear in the Land of the Living in their corporeal form.

194 MSG[]

Kagetsu casts the blessing of immortality on his wife Marya before he sends her away so that no harm will come to her. Kagetsu is betrayed by Amaranth and is defeated by Taliesin who seals him into a stone for defying the gods. The War of the Andain ends.

Taliesin is made the new Lord of the Andain, and he makes all Andain retreat into forests so that they will no longer interfere in mortal matters. Ancient Maar Sul falls after Kagetsu's imprisonment and because of Taliesin's declaration to purge any proof of Kagetsu's existence from the world.

The legacy of Sydney Losstarot continued through his descendant Arawn Losstarot who turned out to be the most significant threat to the world, eclipsing even Yurius and the shamanic mage Taro Ofuchi with the war he helped unleash. The forces of the Land of the Dead began influencing events in the shadows through the lich Drishnek, and an earlier variant of what became the Blood Fever would emerge for the first time.

Arawn Losstarot reappears in public, this time having grown into a powerful sorcerer. He conquers Augustia with his Mullencamp army and the Vulfsatz. The other kings do not wish to act yet and let Arawn be, hoping to solve the conflict through diplomacy and because they don't see Arawn as a credible enough threat.

Arawn begins the invasion of other nations, and Arawn Losstarot War begins. Arawn captures and rapes Marya, forcing a war between the Alliance and Maar Sul by blackmailing Kagetsu, and kills Leon who tries to stop him.

Raistlin II saves Marya from Arawn's stronghold and makes Kagetsu join forces with the Alliance in exchange for Marya's safety.

The Alliance sends various strike teams to different locations to deal with multiple threats at the same time while the main Alliance and Maar Sul army focuses on Arawn.

Marcus is kidnapped the night before the march by the Grey Cult's strike team which consists of Xerathas d'Zarnagon, Varalia Earthhaven and the Shadow. The latter remains behind to act as fake Marcus in order to lure Ax and Dawn to the Ruined Kingdom where Xerathas and Varalia are waiting. Ax discovers that 'Marcus' is a fake and eventually defeats the Shadow with help from Refan and others. Ax gathers a strike team and leads them to rescue Marcus while the town fool Ronove is temporarily turned into a Marcus lookalike and put in charge of the army.

Steward Dylas Rin Theron refuses to side with Marcus and instead keeps his supporters, the White Ravens, in Ravensworth and begins plotting a coup behind the scenes as he slowly builds up his forces. He decides to bide his time until Marcus's army is gone so that no one can oppose his plans.

Ax's group saves Marcus from the kidnappers. Shakkan and Hephaestus possess the bodies of Mori'sul Agara and Ax to help Marcus fight against Nergal in the Second Battle of Dar'Cenrath. Mori'sul sacrifices himself to save the Alliance from Nergal. After the battle, Ax and Marcus become the first members of the Clergy of Hephaestus in over a decade.

The Shadow finally regains his memories in the Ruined Kingdom after his defeat at the hands of the Alliance and remembers his true identity Taliesin with help from Zenobia. He returns to Xerathas but doesn't reveal his true identity to him and willingly lets himself become captive of the Alliance along with Xerathas and Varalia as the groups reunite with the Alliance and reach Maar Sul.

Glaurung Losstarot's Rebels reach an agreement with the Proninist Party and the Totenkopfs and form the Crimson Coalition. Other factions such as Dark Elves and Clergy of Nergal soon join in too and turn the Coalition into a potent anti-Alliance faction. Totenkopfs kidnap Glaurung's son Hannibal Losstarot and frame Alent and Maar Sul for it, making the furious Glaurung declare war on both Alent and Maar Sul.

The Fellowship of Maar Sul witnesses the rise of the Crimson Coalition in Trinity Gask when Glaurung addresses her troops, and they barely escapes to Alent where Richelieu finally uncovers Drishnek's treachery. After a fierce battle, Khasra III and Richelieu's minion Ariadne kill Drishnek. The Fellowship, still suspicious of Jemuel's true allegiances after learning he had been influenced by Drishnek, flees to Yamato while they are being pursued by the Vulfsatz and Alentian forces. Unbeknownst to the Fellowship, Vulfsatz operative Gwydion has murdered their team member Mika Koskenkorva and is now posing as him to gather intel for the Coalition as an inside agent.

Thanks to the Fellowship's and Richelieu's actions in dealing with Drishek, Jemuel is finally freed of the Land of the Dead's influence and begins preparations for war against the Coalition. The first airship in millennia, Imperator, becomes operational thanks to Sydelius and his engineers who finally manage to combine ancient Alentian magics and Lefein technology.

The Fellowship of Maar Sul helps the Akai Tora and the Forgotten take over Vulpengaard Keep and weaken demons' powers in the Second Battle of Vulpengaard Keep. The Fellowship is framed by the undercover mole Gwydion for an attempted assassination of the Akai Tora Shogun Hiroshi Takamoto, but they are freed by agents from Alent and successfully locate the Silverbranch Tree where Steve finally recovers his memories and remembers that he is actually the reborn Despard Silverbranch.

After the Alliance's army has been welcomed to Maar Sul City, the Master of the Totenkopfs and two of his moles in the Alliance (Koschei Dravaris and Desdemona de Ardyn) murder Belial who has been getting too close to uncovering the truth about the Master's identity and the Totenkopfs' grand plan in his investigations. In the following funeral, Belial's companion Khalid al-Saif finds out that he is in fact Belial's son and has inherited his fortune, which upsets Desdemona who begins manipulating Marcus and later gets pregnant but not by him but by Mordecai de Ardyn while pretending that the child is Marcus's. Desdemona intends to guilt trip Marcus into marrying her, thus becoming queen and gaining power over Remon.

Marcus meets Xerathas in the Maar Sulais prison. Xerathas convinces him to side with him in order to break free from Shyralis's control, and replaces Marcus with one of the Shadow clones while Marcus disguises himself and gives himself the alias of Noche. Xerathas, Varalia and another Shadow clone kidnap Gerard and place the other Shadow clone as the fake Gerard while the real Gerard is turned into a wolf and named Lobo.

Khalid reveals himself as an exiled Emir from Vanna and claims to be the legitimate ruler of the Sultanate of Karaganda whose throne had been usurped by his aunt, Sultana Adela al-Saif. The Alliance decides to help Khalid but on the condition that as soon as he's risen to power, he'll make his people, the Sarquil, join the Alliance and help combat the threats to the world's safety. After liberating Jardine, the Alliance's strike team led by Ax boards the Hiltraud and sets sail to Libaterra.

Summer 1017[]

The Maar Sulais court discovers that their king Gerard is in fact a shadow clone, and the SAVAGE operatives quickly figure out that Xerathas must've kidnapped the real king. They mobilize their forces and meanwhile Gerard's girlfriend Elena Jeremy becomes the sovereign of the kingdom until Gerard's return.

While sailing to Libaterra, Ax's strike team is joined by the Fellowship of Maar Sul which teleports to their location from Yamato. The two groups realize their missions are intertwined and they travel together while the fellowship lets Ax's team know about the rise of the Crimson Coalition which will threaten the Alliance. The groups are also joined by Xerathas's group which has hidden itself onboard the ship; Ax decides to let them stay but tells her men to keep an eye on them.

The party journeys to Vanna and gets help from old and new acquaintances who include Jono Renfield and Azriel al-Zarar among others. When confronting Adela who turns out to be connected to the Clergy of Artemicia, Khalid and Xerathas are trapped in a magical hourglass by the goddess Artemicia who gives the party an ultimatum: they must venture into the desert and bring back the head of Qadohi, the leader of the Sirithai lizardfolk, within a week, or the two men will drown in sand.

After a journey through the desert and fighting against lizardfolk and the monstrous Plushiebunny, Ax manages to convice Qadohi and the god Shakkan, who turns out to have been behind recent Sirithai uprisings, to make the Sirithai side with them to oppose Adela and Artemicia together. Awar betrays the group and imprisons Shakkan into a shard of Krystallopyr but is caught by Azriel, who has received powers from what he believes is his ancestor Tronin but is actually Yurius in disguise. Yurius tries to manipulate Azriel and several other people around the world to weaken his interdimensional prison so that he can finally free himself.

The Alliance returns to Vanna, unaware that the Vulfsatz are tracking their Maar Sulais companions. Meanwhile The Three, mercenaries employed by the Coalition, ask Adela to join the Coalition while they help her frame the Alliance for poisoning Vanna's water supply to turn the population against them. Azriel uses his powers, which are derived from Yurius, to purify the well and rally the people behind him. He and the Alliance challenge Sultana Adela, Grand Vizier Iblis al-Djinn and Captain Razoul with help from the Sirithai and some disgruntled desert elf slaves and sheikhs who have grown tired of Adela's rule.

It turns out Iblis has been a demon working for the Southern Horde and has been manipulating Adela and Razoul all along. He goads Daventhalas de Mont Hault into destroying the magic stone in the palace of Vanna, which disables the magical shield around Vanna and now allows demons to finally invade the city and the desert en masse. Nesa, in an effort to save the injured Nalaen Silverpond, asks the gods for help, and the goddess Hivena answers; in exchange for Nalaen's life, she'll take Nesa with her, to which Nesa agrees and is whisked away.

A four-way battle between the Alliance, Adela's forces, Iblis's demons and the Vulfsatz takes place. Iblis and Awar flee, and Adela's forces and the Vulfsatz are captured. Xerathas, the Shadow clone and Varalia try to betray the Alliance but Marcus finally stands up against them and foils their plans, subduing Varalia in the process while Xerathas and the Shadow flee. Lobo is turned back to Gerard Aurelac, and Despard, who has injured himself in battle, decides to take the boy king back to Maar Sul.

Khalid is crowned the first male Sultan in a millennium and makes Ax his wife in a political move to keep the Sarquil tribes pacified although Ax only agrees because she knows the Alliance needs the Sarquil's aid. Ax is later assaulted by a mysterious figure in the city who steals Dawn from her and despite long searches no one can find the shrouded culprit or the sword.

A group of Alliance emissaries led by Dieter von Waldheim and Rhylian Loras is sent to Alent to negotiate with Jemuel and hopefully find a cure to the Blood Fever. While on their way to the city, Rhylian is visited by Hivena who taunts her and reveals that she has trapped Nesa before turning herself into her and vanishes. Hivena, posing as Rhylian, finally breaks Nesa emotionally and makes love to her, getting pregnant, and turns Nesa into her slave who will see to it that she'll give birth away from the other gods.

The Alliance discovers that the boy Adela had been keeping close by in the throne room earlier is actually none other than Hannibal Losstarot, son of Glaurung Losstarot, and they plan to use him as leverage against the Coalition. Jono disagrees using a child as a tool and busts Hannibal out of jail with help from Vaetris Redfield and Briss Phoenixheart who also frees Adela at the same time, and they flee to Trinity Gask to hand them over to the Coalition.

Iblis and Awar are intercepted by Dreadlord Leraje Thanadar and the army of the Northern Horde which has begun its Libaterran campaign. After Leraje learns Iblis's scheme to weaken Vanna, he kills him and decides to use this break in status quo to his advantage. Awar is imprisoned.

Duke Hepnaz of the South confronts Duke Malphas of the North and tries to take over the North via a coup, only to end up betrayed by his own underling who sheds her disguise and reveals herself as Nina Heeate L'andariel, Dreadlady of the East. Nina forces Malphas under a geas and has now made both the Southern and Northern Hordes the East's slaves to prepare for the return of her sister, the Duchess of the East.

Nightstalkers and the Matheson Crime Family begin a destructive turf war known as the Maar Sul Gang War. The war is in turn fueled by both the Totenkopfs and the mysterious Lieutenant X who turns out to be Lirado Qavennurrie, member of the Dark Elves, whose real objective has been to locate Tiyana Natiya for the exceptional powers she possesses. The gang war ends in the deaths of several people, and Lirado and Tiyana flee to Trinity Gask. While the gang war is going on, Galeras Matheson takes over Jardine from Amarawyn Jardine.

The True Aurelac faction takes over Port Dunross from the Proninists, and its leader is revealed to be Prince Geraden Aurelac, the long-lost cousin of King Gerard, who wishes to usurp the Maar Sulais throne for himself. However, this information is kept secret from the Loyalist-controlled Maar Sul for the time being.

One of the Shadow's clones returns to Remon in the guise of Marcus under orders from Xerathas. He and the Loyalists face Dylas Rin Theron who has decided to wage war with his White Ravens faction against Marcus for his political ambitions. The Loyalists and White Ravens fight over the capital in the Third Battle of Remonton during which the Shadow clone is destroyed.

Totenkopfs and Arbriel Conrad interfere with the Remonian civil war by releasing a new, deadlier variant of the Blood Fever on the battlefield. This new disease kills anyone who inhales it but also raises them as undead, and is dubbed the Plague of Undeath. Survivors from both Loyalists and White Ravens flee from the battlefield while the now undead Arbriel and the risen dead form the Wretched and assault any living thing in their hunger for flesh. Dylas goes missing in the aftermath of the battle, and several of his followers are captured, including Refan's wife Skye d'Zarnagon who is revealed to have survived Refan's manhunt from earlier.

Shyralis, now aware of Arbriel's role in releasing the plague, flees to Folsworth Woods where she saves Izael from execution. She then returns to Remonton with him and teams up with Adram Alek and Skye while they venture north to Fragnar to see if anyone survived the undead attacks there and if they can find a safe means to travel to Maar Sul to inform the Alliance about the outbreak. They secure Skye and Refan's son Gabriel d'Zarnagon whom they find in the city and manage to teleport away with the clerics' help just as the undead assault Fragnar.

Shyralis's group ends up teleported to Jardine where they meet up with Despard and Gerard who have recently gotten there and learn that Marcus is now in Vanna. They liberate Jardine and free Amarawyn with the help of a man who appears to be the resurrected Count Belial de Ardyn. The count joins Shyralis's expedition as they sail to Vanna while Despard takes Gerard back to Maar Sul City to deliver the news about the Plague of Undeath. One third of the Alliance's army returns to Remon to fight against the undead.

Nesa guards over Hivena who's accelerated her pregnancy and fled to the wilderness to give birth to what appears to be the first Andain child born after the Explosion. They're caught by Artemicia and Hephaestus, however, and Nesa abandons Hivena, who's weakened from giving birth, to the other gods in revenge for how she had used him to further her schemes. Hivena and her infant child are locked away to a far-away temple by Artemicia who puts them under a curse for defying the Pantheon's laws.

After delivering Hannibal and Adela to Trinity Gask, Briss rejoins with Tiyana who turns out to be pregnant with his child. He's approached by Kamelith, leader of the Dark Elves, and decides to join his ranks to keep Tiyana safe but also to spy on the Coalition and the Totenkopfs. Jono, Vaetris and Glaurung end up fighting against a demon pack led by Saleos who have come to collect a bounty on Jono's head. They subdue Saleos who's taken into custody.

Vaetris ambushes Glaurung not long after the battle with Saleos, revealing herself as the Duchess of the East. Jono tries to stop them, injuring the Duchess's lackey Signan Weinstein in the process, but is poisoned and vanishes into the Void due to the effects of the poison. Vaetris and her surviving lackeys flee with Glaurung whose disappearance prompts the Coalition Council to begin a search for her.

Dreadlord Leraje leads the Northern Horde to Vanna and besieges it. Ismail and several other defenders perish during the Battle of Vanna, but Azriel manages to even the odds when he's guided by Yurius to a trapped sand elemental whom he unleashes on the demons. The defenders lure Leraje into the city, hoping to defeat him there and thus lower the demons' morale, but Leraje nearly defeats them all.

Ronove, who ends up facing Leraje with others, receives trauma to the head and finally recovers from his amnesia, remembering that he's in fact Leraje's brother and a former Dreadlord under Omaroch. He defeats Leraje in combat but surprises everyone when he announces that he'll become a new Dreadlord of the North and will take over Vanna. He allows the surviving defenders to leave from the ruined city as the Northern Horde turns it into their new base of operations.

Varalia, who has been brought to Alent with the Vulfsatz by Waldheim's group, recovers from her injuries and finds herself a prisoner of Alent. Varalia is visited by the Master of the Totenkopfs who asks for her assistance in dealing with Jemuel with help from Ferron and the Vulfsatz. Varalia assists them as they try to assassinate Jemuel, but they only manage to imprison him in the Beacon of Alent. Richelieu is named a temporary regent of Alent in Jemuel's absence.

Drishnek captures Xerathas with help from the Shadow and brainwashes him. He sends Xerathas back to Alent with Varalia along with some Totenkopf representatives so they can use the Grey Cult for their plans while the Shadow, who now assumes the shape of his past form Taliesin, remains in Alent to act as one of the Totenkopfs' spies.

Nesa and Shyralis's groups join the Alliance as it begins marching to Alent, and Shyralis informs them of the Plague of Undeath. Nesa, who now feels guilty about abandoning his daughter to the gods, asks for Unithien to accompany him to save her, and they leave, eventually ending up captured by the elves of Illunii when they try to travel through Celenian Forest.

The rest of the Alliance's group and the refugees reach Alent and meet several new allies, including Rain who helps Razoul soften up and becomes his girlfriend. Belial confronts Khalid but is quickly subdued when he tries to physicall force the Sultan to obey him, and is revealed to be Belial's brother Antigonus de Ardyn. Both Mordecai de Ardyn and Cain Highwind and captured after they try to assassinate Leon Alcibiates, and their connection to Totenkopfs is revealed. Antigonus is released from prison after he helped capture them but is still under watch by the Alliance who don't trust him. The Alliance and Sarquil make a deal with Alent to offer the Sarquil as workforce for the mages if they're provided protection by Alent.

Josiah Amdusias is framed for several mage murders, but Harrad eventually discovers that the murders were committed by his student Warley who's defeated by Harrad and Omaroch. The deceased Anti Mage Police captain is succeeded by Schtolteheim Reinbach III.

Omaroch leaves his student Lynnea Stargazer in Harrad's care to replace Warley and heads for Norash'namun to kill his mother, Grand Duchess Nhrakate d'Zarnagon, in order to weaken demons' rule over Yamato. He fails and is given to Malphas who takes him to Vanna to be tortured by Ronove and Refan. Lynnea decides to go after Omaroch and locates him in Vanna where she finds him in a weakened state and takes him back to Alent.

Xerathas, influenced by Totenkopfs after his return from Alent with Varalia, amasses the Grey Cult and their enslaved demons to begin a siege of Magestar. His forces also conquer Mori'Taure and imprisonin Queen Beruthiel Sindaros while several elves of Tel'Elee flee to Remon to seek sanctuary in Sanae.

Josiah returns to Magestar and is accompanied by Harrad, Waldheim, and Ferron among others. They teleport to the Magestar where they meet with the masters, including Amy, Balthazar Bannock and Dantalion, who ask them to locate a missing mage named Myria and a magic stone she had been searching for, which they hope they can use against the Grey Cult who has begun a siege of the Magestar.

Harrad's fellowship finds its way into the jungles of Khrima where they team up with Dantalion's contacts Yousei Kaizoku and Seishuu Kazejin. They also meet with the suviving members of the Itica race who are led by Josiah's old friend BoB the Jaguar. They end up fighting against Totenkopfs as well as demons from the Southern Horde led by E'soon G'nipparw who're also after the stone.

They fellowship locates Myria and the stone in a mystic temple where they also find an entrapped elven prophet Zeranafska whom they free. They're chased by the Watcher, a fusion of earth and water elemental, who sinks one third of the island. After defeating E'soon, the party and the Itica flee to different directions while BoB chooses to stay behind to aid the fellowship.

Ferron betrays the fellowship by stealing Zeranafska and the stone, and goes to aid the Grey Cult in the siege. Harrad and BoB lead the fellowship to Magestar via a secret passage and manage to free the imprisoned masters. A battle ensues during which the stone's power is used to turn the Grey Cult's demon slaves against their masters and force Xerathas to flee. Xerathas renounces the Totenkopfs who are forced to leave.

Ferron tries to flee with a book stolen from Magestar's libraries but is followed by Waldheim who subdues him in Alent. BoB, Kaizoku and Shuu stay behind in Magestar, and the rest of the fellowship teleport back to Alent although the spell backfires and also ends up taking Balthazar, Dantalion and Varalia with it too. Ferron is put in jail while Harrad takes both Varalia and Zeranafska into his quarters to keep them safe.

Razoul and Rain investigate if Cain had more Totenkopf allies in Alent, and they end up being captured by Drishnek. The necromancer Razravkar Dominus happens to witness all this but Drishnek chooses to spare him if he helps him deliver a message to Cain and take the hypnotized Rain and Razoul away from his hideout, to which Razravkar agrees.

Razravkar, while posing as a Black Guard to escort Rain and Razoul to the Alentian camp, is captured by Aluette, a cleric of Artemicia, for past crimes he had committed against the clergy. Razoul, after recovering from the spell, decides to bring Razravkar back, beliving him to be one of his men, and forms a posse which includes Rain, Vitani and a mysterious man named Raul Emmenson. They manage to rescue Razravkar who's revealed to not be a Black Guard at all, and they're ambushed by clerics of Nergal while Aluette slips away. They flee to the Celenian Forest where they're captured by the elves who take them to Illunii.

Razoul's group meets with the captured Nesa and Unithien in Illunii and form the Dresdens. They meet Thanatos Barca and his servant Jezebeth who manage to convince the court to spare their lives if they help them recover Thanatos's missing daughter Persephone Barca. The Dresdens agree and travels to Etheril where they meet with Raul's thief friends from the Union Workers, capture an undercover necromancer Deidra Finian who's after books in Persephone's possession, and they rescue Persephone as well as the Alentian councillor Gweneth from the Coalition while taking Baron Jeremiah Seneron captive. While fleeing, they're chased by the fae Curdardh who's lured to the Land of the Dead where they trap him before they leave the realm with Razravkar, Persephone and Deidra's help.

Back in Illunii, a battle begins when the Dresdens believe that Thanatos has been using them as pawns, but it turns out Jezebeth and Persephone have been playing them all while working for Duchess Nina of the Southern Horde. The Dresdens manage to defeat them, but Deidra and Thanatos perish. As a result of their actions, the Dresdens are allowed to leave Illunii. Nesa and Unithien depart from the group to search for Hivena while the rest of the group heads for Alent.

Despite the demon invasion of Illunii having been thwarted, Nina still succeeds in securing an elven scepter from Thanatos's laboratory and proceeds to travel with the scepter to meet with Duke Pazuzu of the West. Nina and Pazuzu end up making a deal, both wishing to use the other for their schemes.

Nesa and Unithien locate the trapped Hivena and save her, and she enters Nesa's mind to stay safe from the other gods. Nesa names his supposedly Andain daughter Nyanna Mikoto, knowing that her existence could be seen as a threat, but he promises to keep her safe no matter what. They quickly return to Alent where they're reunited with their Dresden companions.

Nesa and Unithien go visit Leon Alcibiates about Nyanna's potential Andain powers but are attacked by a Starspawn who's drawn to Nyanna's dormant powers. Razravkar and Raul come to aid them in battle along with others and manage to banish the Starspawn. However, because Dantalion and Vulture, one of the leaders of the Dwarven Triad, have secretly tampered with the Beacon of Alent, the Beacon's power ends up hitting the infirmary seemingly randomly and infects Unithien with itself, turning her into a living catalyst of mana which threatens to repeat the Reactor Core Explosion from a decade prior. The crisis is averted when the Dresdens, Alliance and Alentians work together to keep Unithien's mana at bay while Balthazar uses his magic to drain that power and separate her from the Beacon's energies.

When the Dresdens go to recover from the incident, they learn of Nesa having Blood Fever. Razravkar panicks and flees from Alent, not wanting to get infected and is framed by the Dwarven Triad for the murder of an Anti Mage Police officer. While on the run, Razravkar meets up with the merchant Javan al-Kassis and the sword-for-hire Thorn Stronghelm and head for Reign where Razravkar hopes to find clerics to see if he's infected with the fever. Razravkar is captured by Aluette again but Javan manages to broker a deal with Aluette to help convince her superiors of Razravkar's innocence in a trial.

The Union and Alent negotiate a mutually beneficient alliance between their forces although both remain vary of one another. The Dwarven Triad initiates the Alent Gang War between the forces of the Union and the Order of the Black Rose in a bid to weaken them both, but Raul suspects foul play and decides to investigate the causes of the war on his own. Raul heads for Reign to seek out Razravkar as well as talk with the Order's representatives on neutral ground to end the conflict between their underground factions.

Autumn 1017[]

Razravkar Dominus is taken to be judged for the murder of a cleric of Artemicia in the Day of the Damned festival in Reign. During the courtroom drama, the Dwarven Triad finally fully re-emerges after years of hiding and summons a magic crystal which releases a girl named Haruko Mizushima. Due to the fellowship's interruptions, the ritual is incomplete and the goddess Laverna remains trapped within Haruko who ends up suffering from amnesia. Shakkan appears to try to end Haruko's life and free Laverna, but is thwarted by Artemicia who drives him off. The Union Workers and the Triad form a temporary alliance and escort Haruko to a safe location in the Union's base Hidefall.

More info later.

Winter 1017[]

More info later.

After Catastrophe (AC) calendar begins.

Fourth Age[]

The dawn of the Fourth Age sees the rise smaller sovereign states such as the County of Goldshire, the United Provinces of Portiguara, the Free City of Trinity Gask, and the kingdoms of Celenia, Tevinth, Valencia and Zion from the ashes of the old world while the demon hordes agree to a seemingly indefinite ceasefire to regroup their surviving forces from the war to form the Andarian Empire. Demons become permanent residents in the Land of the Living although their strength is weakened to mortal levels. Since then, various races have coexisted in the changing, post-war world albeit with tension as many races continue viewing demons with suspicion after all the destruction the demons had caused in previous ages, and expect the demons to revert to their old ways before long.

After Catastrophe[]

20 AC[]

The twentieth Empire Day is celebrated in the Imperial City where a mysterious illness is spreading and which the Andarian authorities keep secret from the population. The Grand Master of the Golden Lake lures several people with anti-demon sentiments to him in the imperial capital to ask them to join his crusade against demons. The status quo of the Andarian criminal underworld is upset via sudden murders on gang turf, and the Goodfellas set their sights on their rivals in the Birds of Prey.

The Lebenslied tome is stolen from Valencia by what seem to be demonic agents of Andaria. Several successful suicide bombings and bombing attempts take place in various capital cities around the same time, placing the blame of these attacks on Andaria.

Hostilities between Andaria and Zion escalate as both countries move troops to their shared border. Zion-affiliated Fellowship of Sarilstad is sent to the kingdom of Celenia and the province of Alexandria by Queen Desdemona Sarillius to seek out both allies and artifacts of power to aid Zion's cause.

Valencia and Trinity Gask make first steps toward a tentative alliance via a proposed marriage of King Derek Hawthorne and Lady Ceres Asterica. Mysterious events take place in Survivor's Woods where a motley crew of strangers prevent otherworldly forces from invading the Land of the Living.
