This Outline of the Known History and Pre-History of Elsone, is Assembled From:
The Legends passed down in the Oral Traditions of The Elves, Dwarves, Targan, and Proto-Humans, Gleaned from the Trade Caravans, and finally Recorded by the Scribes of THIAN and Thel Anor.
The WRITTEN History is Maintained by Thian Scholars, as The Chronicles, Commissioned, in the 1st Year of the Pax Thianus [1361 on the Old Lunar Calendar.
The University Staff Actively Solicit Contributions from The Living Memory of Any Citizen of the Edren Continent, and Any Traveler Who Finds Refuge within Our Borders.
Translation from Bureaucratize:
This is Were Anyone Paying Close Enough Attention to have a Problem with Story Continuity, Character Backstory, or Plot Development can Come to Vent Their Spleen, without Any Hurt Feelings or Fear of Reprisal.
We Seek a Cadre of Deeply Immersed Nyota Uhuras Who will Tell The New Director:
"NO! That's Not Right! Star Fleet Command is Over Here!"
The Elsone Timeline
-2129 Avos the first chosen ascended to spread the message of One.
-1987 Avos became upset seeing mortals disobey and was Horrified The ONE permitted Free Will to Disrupt Divine Order. He became Obsessed with Gaining the Power to Take The ONE’s Place.
-1871 When a Chosen Ascends , They are Granted Any Single Wish, Avos’s Wish was One wouldn’t Kill Him, YTB] or Allow Him to Die, No Matter What.- Effectively Immortal [He Can Die His Own Hand, and Can Age,If He Spends too much Time on the Mortal Plane.]
-1789 Avos created Taint from the Phlotic Waste. He Created a Network of Tainted Links to Havoken Drones. He Soon Discovered Two Things about It:
-1777 The Energy Required to Create Links,,and Maintain Inactive Links, while small, Grew Geometrically with the Number of Havoken Directly Controlled. They MUST be Directly Controlled, because, Cored of Any Free Will, They Have No Volition, or Motivation beyond Killing and Feeding,[Not Even Creating Other Havakan.]
-1669 Avos was a Master Artificer, and Massive Phlotic Batteries, in the Crystal Roots of the Mountains, Solved the Storage Problem, and Other Ingenious Artifacts “Purified” the Taint, and Used It to Manifest, the Links, and Maritain the Network. The Problem now was that There was a Limit to How Far even He could Divide His Attention. The Network had Grown Exponentially Larger than He could Directly Control.
-1619 Ironically, Avos Discovered the Utility of Free Will , and Created Autonomous Controllers, the First Havacan Magi.
-1601 Avos Rose to Power and converted Feron’s Spit to Azura’s Falls into a Wasteland of Taint. (Over the greatest city of Edren; “Grasia”) where He Created an Army of Captured Mortals.
-1579 1st Havacan Invasion
-1511 Mortal Empire almost Crushed
-1499 Enza Ascended and Avos Quickly Discovered that He could not Contend with Another Ascended, and Control his Entire Network, at the Same Time.
Enza had Immediately Wished for the Power to Defeat Avos, [Not Realizing that He had already Crippled Him;] He did Not Wish to Protect His Own Life.
-1493 Unattended Links Collapsed; Chaotic, Uncontrolled Havakan were easy Prey for Disciplined, Battle Hardened Mortal Soldiers, who Still Outnumbered Them.
-1489 Avos simply Stood Down, and Retreated, under the Mountains;were He waited His Chance for Revenge.
-1471 Cult of Avos Rose, Lead by Promos the Blood-Father, after He Assassinated Enza

-1361 [110 Years Later] Thia Ascended to Heal the Tainted Land and continue the work of Enza.
