The Mythical Age (MA)
This is a detailed account of the events that have taken place within Althas during the Mythical Age. This Age follows the Gorandel kingdom's Calendar System.
The abbreviation MA stands for "Mythical Age".
The Fall of The Dominion
- 0 MA: The counting of years began in what is now known as the Anointed Calendar was devised by the Gorandel kingdom. [1]
- Losdejim tried to maintain the stability of The Dominion, but with evil having tainted Man, tension grew between the Seven Tribes.
- The "Celestial language" remained the only language. [2]
- 20 MA: Around this time was the first recorded death of old age.
- 85-90 MA, The Breaking of The Dominion: The tension between the seven remaining Tribes reached its apex, with The Dominion teetering on the brink of a massive civil war. [3]
- Mellendil called on Losdejim to divide the Seven Tribes from each other. Each tribe would be sent to a new land to settle, with Mellendil revealing that land, and the path to it, to Losdejim.
- Losdejim divided the tribes and chose 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 settled in their new lands and established their domains. [5]
- The Drevril were enraged by the peace made between the Seven Tribes. They created a new set of Night Stones, designed purely for chaos, so that they may destroy these new settlements. [6]
- These new stones had little effect on Man, but did on the beasts of Althas. Beasts effected by these Stones would slowly become known as Nomshethairos.
- 305 MA: As the centuries passed, the Tribes grew larger and their societies more complex. This put growing strains on the simplistic Elder system of leadership. [7]
- Therefore, based upon Mellendil’s decree, Losdejim called forth a man from each of the Seven Tribes. He “anointed” each of these men, giving them the divine right to rule their tribe. These seven Anointed kings were given long lifespans, and given the edict to protect their new kingdoms.
- The Seven Tribes became the Seven Anointed Kingdoms: Anorthile (lead by King Andorain), Driesefair (lead by King Thanglor), Gorandel (lead by Endoran), Lamniemalos (lead by King Barador), Narthendar (lead by King Methandos), Nosmalos (lead by King Imbalin), and Vishethas (lead by King Valadin). [8]
- Those that had chosen not to join in the Seven Kingdoms became known as the Thevelnim, and those of the Eighth Tribe that were scattered (but remained loyal to ways of The Majestic) became known as the Nefethim.
- 309 MA, The Passing of Losdejim: Losdejim withdrew himself from politics, never to be seen again. A new Diasair named Drioloseb shortly took his place.
- 325 MA: The creation of the Noralar language and its writing system, with the aid of Drioloseb. [9]
- Drioloseb declared the first moral doctrines and other teachings (creating The Scriptures).
- Drioloseb assisted in the founding of the Academies and Temples in the Anointed Capital Cities. [10]

- Chaos reigned on the borders of the Tribes’ lands.
- These wise men were the first leaders among the tribes, but were more teachers than rulers. Losdejim taught them the basics of his teachings and the way to reach the Tribes’ new lands.
The Anointed Kingdoms
- The details of the Seven Tribes' settling:
- The people of what would come to be known as the Anorthile region settled near the Villevri Falls.
- The people of what would come to be known as the Driesefair region settle around the Nesarväthair Lake.
- The people of what would come to be known as the Gorandel region settle just east of the Vossôthos Forest.
- The people of what would come to be known as the Lamniemalos region settle near the Seshen Bedros.
- The people of what would come to be known as the Narthendar region settle around Voshellas.
- The people of what would come to be known as the Nosmalos region region settle near the Shëa Hellasos.
- The people of what would come to be known as the Vishethas region settle around the Hali Falliros.
- The Night Stones were cast into the northern waters and deep caverns of the northern mountains of Narthendar, so that they may gather strength unnoticed.
- Other factors included the lifespans of normal Men were growing shorter as time passed, as well as Losdejim’s impending death. Driomi also foresaw tgat the Drevril were planning and decided the Tribes would need stronger identities and leaders of great power to be ready for the coming troubles.
- The Seven Anointed Kingdoms were built under the guidelines set by Losdejim.
- The Anorthile Kingdom had its capital moved to Thal Shiath.
- The pure tongue could not be translated into written form and thus fell out of use quickly. Men would soon forget the meanings behind Celestial words.
- Old Maelan spread amongst people in the countryside as it was a simpler tongue than Noralar.
The New Night Stones and The First War, "The War of Man and Beast"
- Many Nomshethairos escaped though (especially lesser ones), and scattered across Jevreth.
- This Night Stone would later be known as the Thrandole Stone.
- This Night Stone would later be known as the Basech Stone.
- These islands would later be known as the Esheliros Basech.
The Second War, “The War of Kings”
- Thrandole begun experiments using his Night Stone and created a Nomshethairos breed based on Men at the onset of the war, which mightily bolstered his numbers.
- A long period of small skirmishes, rather than large battles, ensued. This was also the first appearance of Nomshethairos within Thrandole's hosts, under the influence of his Night Stone.
- The first appearance of the Vrällim in Althas are seen during this battle, and their ranks only swelled with every passing battle during The War of Kings. They quickly made up a larger number of Thrandole's Nomshethairos host in comparison to the older "wild animal" ones. These particular Nomshethairos were the results of Thrandole's experiments on his enslaved peoples using his Night Stone.
- They believed Althas was doomed and sought new lands. These vessels would eventually land on the continent of Dritameshi.
- Most of the Nomshethairos in Thrandole's hosts were slain. The remaining wild Nomshethairos fled into the wild, and the remaining Vrällim fled into deep caverns in Voshellas.
The Northern Interregnum
- Mundríce was given more autonomy than the other vassals in Althas, including North and South Narthendar.
The Birth of Magic and the First Chosen
- The Seven Chosen took vows of chastity, so that their gifts would not pass to future generations.
- Some of those who were given the gift of Magic abused their power as well as broke their vows of chastity.
- Losjefi prophesied for two years and was then exiled. He roamed the seas and islands around Althas for the remainder of his life.
The Jevrethor and The Schism
- Many were brought to Nandorthel to be studied and experimented on, leading to their harsh mistreatment, with or without the knowing of the head of the Temple or the Kings. All of this was kept quiet from The Vanguard and the other Anointed kingdoms.
- This began a roughly 200 year period of division between these two groups of kingdoms. There was great tension and little political interaction.
- It was decided that, in order to maintain autonomy, the Temples and Academies would have their own protectors and individuals capable of carrying out certain missions.
- The formation of the Vasomi would not halt tensions.
The Great Tourney
- Driesefair used this event to regain respect with the other kingdoms after its part in the Vasomi incident. A rivalry also quickly built between Gorandel and Anorthile, who often used the event to help gain recognition for their ideas within each other’s borders.
- rogue champion learned much in deep Magic, which allowed him to become stronger and faster in his fight against Courian.
- They learn that rogue champion escaped a terrible existence at the hands of a cruel governor in a city in northwestern Driesefair. The hatred which the people treated him with from the day of his birth convinced him that he must bring down the reign of mathusalos in order to establish a place for himself and other Jevrethor. His hatred foreshadowed what was to come centuries later.
- Despite the pleading of The Vanguard and Vasomi with Gorandel, Gorandel still would not change their policies concerning the Jevrethor. They did, however, try to greatly increase the security of their outposts and keep better track of the happenings throughout the regions.
The Ironrend Massacre and the end of The Schism
- Jevrethor in Anorthile, Nosmalos, and Vishethas were usually sent to The Vanguard to be taught and raised, but because the Vanguard’s stronghold was in Gorandel territory, the system suffered many complications.
- Unrád, a young and bitter jevrethor who escaped oppression in North Narthendar, was the leader of a group of young jevrethor and rogue najiros (those of which worshipped the jevrethors’ power). He had resolved, like his predecessor from The Duel of Woe, that the only way the jevrethor could exist in Althas was to overthrow the rule of the mathusalos.
- The escaped jevrethor devastated Ironrend, massacring many of its residents. They stormed southeast and killed any mathusalos they encountered, scattering the people in their wake.
- The Jevrethor and najiros of Gorandel were powerful. However, the Jevrethor of Gorandel were very young (some little more than children). Also, most were extremely simple, ignorant and unexposed to the outside world. This innocence was their undoing in the battle. The cries of the young Jevrethor of Gorandel gave the battle the name “The Night of Wailing.”
- The heroism of The Vanguard and their sacrifice to save Gorandel and stop the march of the rogue Jevrethor became a great tale of heroism throughout Althas.
- Gorandel adopted the philosophy of the Vanguard concerning the Jevrethor and begam working with them and establishing outposts to help fight the small groups that would continue oppressing the Jevrethor regardless of decree.
- More would come to join Fevron and help establish the independent realm of Lambitelor.
- Despite the healing of the tensions between the Kingdoms, the damage that had been done could not be undone. The reputation of the Jevrethor among the common people had been so severely marred by the Night of Wailing and The Ironrend Massacre that it had not recovered completely even to this day.
The Losjefi Heresy
- These doctrines were pro-Magic, drawing in many najiros and Jevrethor (who were considered like "demi-gods"). The people who believed and follow Losjefi were known as Vrolovairos.
- After Losvilleth's death, the doctrines were declared heretical. However, Losvilleth's popularity restrained the Temples' and Academys' hands.
- The Vrolovairos were divided between the two pupils. While all Vrolovairos were considered heretics, Lositaleth’s people are more tolerated, and Namseshi’s people were more discriminated against (especially as Jevrethor joined them). Many believed they are insurrectionists in disguise.
- It was believed that Namseshi's followers reached another land far on the other side of Jevreth (Dritameshi).
The Basech Incident
- Instead of recreating the poison, they found a way to create it into a gaseous form (Nemnesheth).
- This prevented the Sheäjathi fleet from approaching the islands. As they wanted a simultaneous attack from both fleets, the two fleets waited.
- Bodies were found of those who apparently fought in some battle. Their remains laid unburied. The Sheäjathi fleet remained to investigate.
- The remnants of the Sheäjathi host pled that the rest had vanished, along with most of their supplies, and that two of their ships were sunk by another strange storm as they tried to escape. The King of Anorthile suspected that this was the work of a Night Stone.
The Night Stone Resurgence
- With the Jevrethor now working freely alongside The Vanguard and in Gornadel, great advances were able to be made in Magic.
- This search occured after the King of Anorthile suspected that Night Stones survived the War of Kings and were even growing in number. More Night Stones were suspected to be hidden elsewhere.
- Given the resurgence of the Night Stones, The Anointed decided to focus on fortifying their hosts and increasing their watch within their own borders.
- These western islands were named Esheliros Shûvrall. The King of Gorandel and King of Vishethas also intend to set up outposts and colonies on the islands to assist the Vasomi and Vanguard in seeking out the remaining Night Stones that may be hidden off the mainland.
The Esheliros Shûvrall and the Shûvrall Stone
- Lord Bregdan was a secret ally of Lambitelor and shared in that land’s views on magic and especially the [{Lore:Jevrethor|Jevrethor]]. He had several Jevrethor held secretly captive.
- Lord Bregdan stole the Stone in order to use its power to control his captive Jevrethor and lead a rebellion to take over all of Narthendar, and help bring the Kings of Lambitelor back to Lamniemalos.
- Lord Bregdan went mad, brooding over the Stone’s power. His use of the Stone caused a storm to emerge that sent his ship off course along the northern coast of Narthendar. It sunk somewhere in the Isbrim.
- The tribe, one of a few set of Morbearn tribes that migrated to the islands during the The War of Kings, began worshiping the Night Stone.
- This apprentice in The Vanguard attempted to use the Neser Theni to look into the future. The vision severely damaged his mind and he stole the Nesar Theni.
- Staelan planned to send the Night Stone to Gorandel to destroy it. Staelan’s son, Wealcan, much like his grandfather, held a deep hatred for Jevrethor (one of which killed his sister in his youth). He intended to carry out his grandfather’s plan, enslaving the Jevrethor and using them to establish an anti-Jevrethor state similar to Lambitelor in Narthendar and Lamniemalos.
The Plight of the Jevrethor
- The Vanguard and Vasomialso sent out agents to search for any Night Stones that may exist in the island nation, beyond The Vanguard and Vasomi’s official reach.
- The Shûvrall Stone had yet to be found, and The Vanguard feared the worst.
- The Vanguard become suspicious of Folgere. Strange rumors that came out of North Narthendar caused them to redouble their watchfulness over the Narthendar region.
- The King of Lambitelor had fed the agents false information for years as he slowly pieced together exactly who they were working for.
- Heofon became renowned for consulting with The Guardians more than previous Vanguard leaders.
- The Vanguard and Vasomi learned of the discriminating practices of Lambitelor guards and other authorities, which was made legal by the laws set in place after the [[The Naji War. They also learned that the King had personally approved of discriminating views being taught to the people. Jevrethoron Lambitelor were also found to be horribly mistreated in prisons and suffered for crimes they did not commit. This oppression also extended to the common people and how they treated Jevrethor.
- The King of Lambitelor only agreed to the removal of discrimination laws and giving up the secrets of Nemnesheth in exchange that The Vanguard and Vasomi stayed silent over Lambitelor's wrongdoings. He also agreed to no longer promote the teaching of discriminating doctrines among the people, and that an agent of both The Vanguard and Vasomi be allowed to remain in Lambitelor in search for any Night Stones on the islands. Heofon objected to this deal under advisement of The Guardians, but it was overruled by The Vanguard Council after a unanimous vote.
While the laws and teachings were removed in Lambitelor, nothing was done to reverse the damage; discrimination still remained as authorities still tended to turn a blind eye to mistreatment of najiros and especially jevrethor. The laws concerning najiros and jevrethor marrying were still in place. This resulted in a continuing and fairly rapid decrease in the number of najiros in Lambitelor, which in turn slowed the production of Nemnesheth.
The Rise of Téafor
- The few najiros protecting the capital were quickly disposed of. The century of laws concerning najiros and marriage had left Lambitelor with only a handful of najiros defending their country, and an almost empty reserve of Nemnesheth (which were taken up entirely by prisons).
- Panicked by the attack, the guards rushed to evacuate most of the island due to the sudden loss of resources.
- Some of the jevrethor vanished into hiding while others surrendered. The realm of Lambitelor was left in shambles: the capital was destroyed, its royal line dead, and its lands severely depopulated.
- Many of the najiros in Althas, and also in Teafor's ranks, began to worship the jevrethor as divinely chosen beings.
- What Teafor did in Lambitelor was not connected to him. The Vanguard learned of him from the jevrethor that opposed his words of hatred and joined in The Vanguard’s ranks.
- The Academy at Gorandel began ramping up the development of weapons to use against the jevrethor and their powers out of fear of an uprising.
- Téafor's agents infiltrated The Vanguard and the Academy at Gorandel.
- This book detailed the many accounts of the events surrounding the jevrethor’s history: from the Jevrethor Controversy to the present time of writing. The intent of the work was to show the jevrethor’s side of history, to attempt to gain sympathy for their long plight and hopefully help curb the prejudice among many groups of people towards the jevrethor.
- Heofon, upon overhearing rumor of Gerád's work when it was being written, offered him the opportunity to use the Nesar Theni. This resulted in the incredible accuracy and reliability in the book's contents.
- The Nefethnim had many hidden places of gathering, as they continued to resent Anointed rule. One such upper-echelon Nefethnim of note was Leáfa, a half-Nefethnim who was the widow to the King of Gorandel's deceased brother.
- These, along with Téafor himself, would become known as "The Six Sorcerers" in The War of Calamities.
- Gerád spoke to the many jevrethor survivors of the events. Two of these survivors were the caretakers of the orphanage where Téafor grew up: Gerád used what he learned to trace Téafor’s life with the Nesar Theni. He then learned that not only was Téafor a survivor of the Fall, but he also caused it and escaped. Gerád finished this volume and gave it to The Vanguard who immediately realized that they could use the Nesar Theni in conjunction with what Gerád has learned to trace Téafor’s history all the way to the present and find his location. This final volume thus became the rarest of The History of the Jevrethor collection.
The War of Calamities
- The War of Calamities resulted in the deaths of a great many Magic-users in Althas, jevrethor and najiros alike, including many of the most well-trained and studied ones.
- The Vanguard returned to find the fortress gutted by fire, many manuscripts destroyed. With their leaders dead, their teachings burnt, and Gorandel in chaos and ruins, The Vanguard essentially dissolved, most leaving for Anorthile.
The Renewal
- Many Thalomhav died in The War of Calamities, along with their riders. The Thalom Sebairos at this time adopted new beliefs concerning The Guardians, the predecessor to their four-part pantheon.
- Certain groups, including The House of Joldeseb, felt they were of closer relation than the ones Loschei chose felt slighted. However, with the Kingdom still struggling to rebuild, they put their differences aside for the present.
- The violence and chaos in the regions of former Gorandel prevented safe passage to Anorthile for those trying to flee there.
- Many legends arose concerning their fate, but the truth was never known for sure.
- At about this time, the seven jevrethor and the refugees formed a tribe. The oldest of the jevrethor was the chief, and over time the oldest descendants of the seven formed its leadership.
- As the descendants' blood became diluted and fewer were born as jevrethor (more similar to najiros), the chief was selected based upon how close in lineage he was to the founding jevrethor.
- The regions of former Driesefair, Gorandel, Lamniemalos and Narthendar ware in chaos, with the strategic points of interest swapping hands constantly. They became known collectively as The Feralands.
- Vithile is also sometimes grouped as part of The Feralands.
