This is a detailed account of the events that have taken place within Althas' Mythical Age

This is Part 2 in the Timeline series of articles, and continues into Part 3.

The Mythical Age (MA)

The Mythical Age follows the Gorandel kingdom's Calendar System. This is a detailed account of the events that have taken place within Althas before recorded time.

The abbreviation MA stands for "Mythical Age", and the abbreviation RK stands for "Reunited Kingdoms".

The Fall of The Dominion

  • 0 MA: The counting of years begins in what will be known as the Gorandel kingdom's Calendar System. [1]
  • 20 MA: Around this time is the first recorded death of old age.
  • 85-90 MA: The Breaking of The Dominion The tension between the seven remaining Tribes reaches its apex, with The Dominion teetering on the brink of a massive civil war. [3]
    • The One calls on Losdejim to divide the Seven Tribes from each other. Each tribe will be sent to a new land to settle, with The One revealing that land and the path to it to Losdejim.
    • Losdejim divides the tribes and choose an Elder from each. The Tribes then set out, led by their Elders, for their new lands. [4]

The Anointed Kingdoms

  • 150 MA: All of the Seven Tribes settle in their new lands and established their domains. [5]
    • The Drevril are enraged by the peace made between the Seven Tribes. They create a new set of Night Stones, designed purely for chaos, so that they may destroy these new settlements. [6]
    • These new stones have little effect on Man, but does on the beasts of Althas. Beasts effected by these Stones will slowly become known as Nomshethairos.
  • 305 MA: As the centuries pass, the Tribes grow larger and their societies more complex. This put growing strains on the simplistic Elder system of leadership. [7]
  • 309 MA, The Passing of Losdejim: Losdejim withdraws himself from politics, never to be seen again.
  • 325 MA: The creation of the Noralar language and its writing system, with the aid of Drioloseb. [9]
    • Drioloseb declares the first moral doctrines and other teachings (creating The Scriptures).
    • Drioloseb assists in the founding of the Academy and Temple system.
      • The building of the Academy and Temple Towers at Thal Shiath causes the capital to be renamed to Thavairos.
  • 325-345 MA: With Noralar established, the Celestial tongue begins to fade out of use. [10]
    • The language of Malean also comes into being around this time as well. [11]
  • 345 MA, The Controversy of Tongues: Although the seven Anointed kingdoms are built and stable, the kingdoms cannot agree upon a single tongue.
    • Anorthile, Gorandel, and Narthendar choose to keep their Celestial kingdom names, while the other four Anointed kingdoms chose to abandon their now meaningless Celestial names (Driesefair, Lamniemalos, Nosmalos, and Vishethas).
      • Tension arises between the Kingdoms that keep their original Celestial names and those that take Noralar ones.
      • This is resolved after Drioloseb scolds the Kingdoms holding on to their Celestial names for being prideful.

The new Night Stones and The First War, "The War of Man and Beast"

  • '397 MA: A new Night Stone was created by the Drevril, and was cast towards Narthendar. This one possessed an Avatar that calls Nomshethairos to it.
  • 399 MA, The First War ("The War of Man and Beast"): The Nomshethairos descended suddenly on Narthendar, destroying it's capital, and slaying King Methandos as he attempts to rally his people out of the heartland.
    • The other Kingdoms come to Narthendar’s aid, led by Methandos’ son Thrandole.
  • 402 MA: The Men of Althas have slain all the Nomshethairos called to Narthendar and destroy as many of the original Stones in the region that they could find. [12]
    • Thrandole himself is called to the Stone that called the Nomshethairos to his region. He chooses to keep it. [13]
  • 404 MA:Narthendar is restored and rebuilt.
  • 406 MA: People from Sheavob find a new Night Stone as well. This Night Stone asks for them to worship it in exchange for secret knowledge of what others are thinking. It feeds them lies about their surrounding village neighbors. [14]
    • They eventually attack Leavrall nearby to them and slaughter their people.
      • King Andorain is furious and sends his men to learn what is happening. This Night Stone forewarns the Sheavob people of Andorain's men.
    • The Sheavob people flee and sail to the currently unexplored islands to the south. [15]

Notes

This section contains footnotes for the overall Timeline.

The Mythical Age

  1. The proper designation for MA (Mythical Age) is not used until after the start of The Years of the Renewed Kingdoms.
  2. There is no written form, and so oral tradition is the means of information being passed on. Pictures and symbols are also used to a degree.
  3. Chaos reigns on the borders of the Tribes’ lands.
  4. These wise men are the first leaders among the tribes, but are more teachers than rulers. Losdejim teaches them the basics of his teachings and the way to reach the tribes’ new lands.
  5. The details of the Seven Tribes' settling:
  1. The Night Stones are cast into the northern waters and deep caverns of the northern mountains of Narthendar, so that they may gather strength unnoticed.
  2. Other factors include the lifespans of normal men are growing shorter as time goes on, as well as Losdejim’s impending death. Driomi also sees what the Drevril are planning and decides the tribes will need stronger identities and leaders of great power to be ready for the coming troubles.
  3. The Seven Anointed Kingdoms were built under the guidelines set by Losdejim. Also the Anorthile Kingdom has its capital moved to Thal Shiath.
  4. Many Celestial words were now given Noralar equivalents, including: The One becomes known as Driomi, the universe is now called
  5. The pure tongue cannot be translated into written form and thus falls out of use quickly. People forget the meanings of its words.
  6. Old Maelan spreads among people in the countryside as it is a simpler tongue than Noralar.
  7. Many Nomshethairos escape though (especially lesser ones), and scatter across Jevreth.
  8. This Night Stone will later be known as the Thrandole Stone.
  9. This Night Stone will later be known as the Basech Stone.
  10. These islands will later be called the Esheliros Basech.
