â5671/5672 A rash move: Dakar the Mad Prophet uses his Fellowship authority to attach Rathainâs crown with an oath of debt to the Koriathain, enabling Elaira to make use of the sisterhoodâs knowledge to salvage Prince Arithonâs life. While she does invoke her initiate training to recall Arithonâs strayed spirit, she alters a very intricate ritual to create a Grand Confluence, making her healerâs lore adhere to the Major Balance precepts taught by Athâs adepts. This change based on free will replicates an original, extremely ancient construct, historically stolen from the Biedar tribe by the Koriathain.
âThe Biedar crone on Athera intervenes: through Elairaâs alteration, she seizes a thread of the working, and when the subsequent conception of a child occurs, calls the spirit of one of her tribal ancients to be reincarnated as Arithonâs daughter, born to Glendien at Althain Tower.
âInterim events following Stormed Fortress
â5672 Birth of Teylia to Glendien at Althain Tower.
âElaira returns to the Koriathain under summons.
â5674 Arithon is betrayed and taken captive by the Koriathain, ignorant of Dakarâs oath of debt to the crown, since all that occurred at Athir to save him was kept secret.
âPressured by the Primeâs threat to Elairaâs life as leverage to break him, Arithon sequesters all of his memories of her, together with his perilous knowledge of Grey Kralovir necromancy, into the emerald signet ring of Rathain, which is protected under Fellowship auspices, and guarded by Elaira as his handfast beloved.
â5674 The Fellowship Sorcerers gamble with extreme risk: to prevent Arithonâs immediate destruction at the hands of the Prime Matriarch, Kharadmon collapses the star wards that are holding back a mass invasion by Marakâs free wraiths. Prime Selidie is forced to negotiate, or see the world become devoured, since only a Masterbardâs art can ameliorate the threat.
âThe Koriani Prime drives a harsh bargain: for a stay of execution, to last only until the last free wraith is settled, she demands that Sethvir surrender guardianship of Teylia to the sisterhood to seal the bargain.
â5676 Teylia is oathsworn as an initiate Koriathain. Her training to become the Primeâs successor is a disaster, her untrained power so great that every crystal she touches shatters.
â5683 The Great Schism: Lysaer abandons the Religion of Light in Tysan and retires to the mayorâs seat at Etarra. True Sect split of the faithful establishes a High Temple at Erdane.
â5688 Reform Years begin in Rathain: Lysaerâs justice creates a treaty with High Earl Barach that establishes fair law and brings stable peace with the clans of Rathain.
â5691 First Book of Canon Law and True Sect law is established at Erdane by the True Sect priests.
â5867 Drake War fought to a standstill by Fellowship Sorcerers at Penstair.
â5902 Treaty signed between True Sect zealots in Tysan and the Crown of Havish establishes a tenuous accord, to expire upon the death of the reigning queen.
