See Timeline of Homeland's for more Pre-History.

A disaster on the Qual Home world of Sha'lean causes their most Ancient artefact, The Titan Gate, to implode. The collapsing gate acts like a Black Hole, gathering exponentially in strength until nothing can escape it.

Before the Gate's pull becomes lethal, The Seven races of Orion flee through it to safety.

As each world dies, they flee to another, their numbers swelling from the now homeless races and cultures they meet until 127 inhabited worlds later, the refugee's number over 3 million.
These now dead worlds are called The Homelands.

Mid Eldar Spring.

Arriving through the last (or first) gate, the Qual realise that they can close it behind them, shutting the Cataclysmic forces outside in the void. This they do, sealing Eldahar and it's Primary Gate so that nothing can enter or leave. (By sealing this main gate, other lesser gate sites around the world stop working.)

The World of Eldahar is not deserted. A race of beings rule over it as Gods.
The Qual and other races call them The Titans.
The Titans, having spent eons in thought, are slow to realise the new threat to their power. Before they can act, the combined will of the Qual, other races and their Gods, cast them out of Eldahar's Heaven - Arlond.

Orion, Father of the Qual, gathers up the World's Heart and takes it with him to Mount Eldahar. There he establishes his rule and puts down any Titan resistance. FALSE.

Races loyal to the Titans prepare their own retribution against Orion. But before they can act, he shields the continent of Eldahar from the rest of the world. FALSE.

The rulers of each land agree (some grudgingly), to abide by Orion's rules, in return for help feeding their people and farming the land. It takes many years for each country to settle and adapt.

The Dragon conflict reaches its peak when Eskanu kills Baphomet the Dragon King.

Some of the Eldar Qual, led by Elluva, plot to overthrow Orion, believing his plans for humanity to be insane.

Orion's experiments with the World Mind come to a head when he almost achieves mastery over it. However Orion's tests do not go unnoticed or unopposed - The Tain demand that Orion stop. Orion does not reply.

Forced to act to protect their heritage and history, Dagga and the other Tain (Titans) attack Mount Eldahar.

The Eshwin, led by Solarin Ynnkra, sabotage Mount Eldahar's shields, allowing the Tain inside. The Eshwin hope that by assisting the Tain, some sort of peaceful compromise can be arranged. However the Tain believe that the Eshwin are just as bad as the Qual and are working towards their own ends.

The Tain pollute all the Heartstones on the mountain.

Orion seeks to become one with the World Mind. In his desire to do so, he manages to Create a physical representation of the World Mind, shaped like a large Heartstone.

The Tain confront Orion high above Eldahar's continents in a metaphysical showdown. Orion overtakes them and seizes the World with his mind, but at the last moment loses concentration as the Tain, Dagga, defies his will. Losing control at such a crucial moment throws Orion's mind into chaos. The resulting struggle between Dagga, the Tain and Orion causes the World to break. 

The Heart of the World is broken.

Law and Chaos manifest themselves in the World - entering through a crack in the Heartstone.

Orion "disappears" from the world.

Eskanu begins taking form, born from the fear and paranoia of the World. Though it will take many centuries for Eskanu to truly manifest, her presence is felt from the very beginning.

The Tain are severely weakened, surrounded by a new Astral plane and denied access Dreamside - where all their powers originate. Having lost the Crowns of Power (or Keys as they call them) in the confrontation with Orion, the Tain are quickly hunted and imprisoned by the Qual.

The children of Arlon, loyalists to Orion, continue to fight in his honor. They are eventually defeated, but allowed to resettle off Mount Eldahar on the far away Shining islands (later called Mengale). Some of thier number, a group of Sorceror's called "The El'vista", swear revenge against those Eldar who plotted against Orion. The greatest of these being Kreshe.

The Eshwin and Drai'ma'ke flee Mount Eldahar and go into hiding. Eldars Elluva and Caereva take charge of the Qual, declaring Orion's new children to be abominations.
Eshwin Drumar is slain by Quiverin the Battle-Master.

Eldar Nearward is imprisoned for his rebellious actions and loyalty to Orion's cause.

The first of the Sun Kings is crowned in Vala.

Thenox creates and shapes Daig, bringing order and structure to a Dream World gone mad. To help him, he enlists a dozen notorious Damned souls, binding each of them to one of Orion's uncompleted Heartstones.

Acting on Ischandi's fragmented memories, Soloman finds the Jixiliah Mistral in Dark Sea - just next to the Black Portal - The Portal of Night. Soloman starts attempting to meddle with the Jixliah's programming but fails. Eventually he attempts to use his most secret and special object - The White Ring (an object he technically hasn't even made yet) to undo what Ischandi has created and bend it to his will. After all, pretending to have made a Jixiliah will look really cool when he next visits the Eldar. However, what happens next does not go to Soloman's plan. The Jixliah does indeed develop free will but refuses to obey Soloman's commands. Instead by attempting to get it to rename itself, it chooses "Wan" and tells Soloman to go away. Altur receives his first brief vision of this being but despite his efforts to locate it, spend years before he finally does.

Note - Receiving some inspiration from the White Ring and its history with Ischandi and Daycaster, the newly named Jixliah has no compulsion to obey Soloman. Instead, it treats him just like any other intruder. Realising he may have caused a potential problem, Soloman retreats but keeps a close eye on what happens next.

Altur of the Kaomi Shaman's becomes one of their greatest spiritualists. He displays a natural talent for all things astral.
He learns how to slow the aging process, extending his possible lifespan by at least a few hundred years - perhaps more.

The Seeress Lanri makes her great predictions.

Soloman's first disciple is Larius Lablane who helps him pioneer Runaic runes.

Princess Temera throws herself and her daughter Meriel off the walls in a fit of madness.

The Lord Horse, Tarrow Sanyin, saves Quiverin Battlemaster's life by carrying him from the field of battle, but dies doing so. Quiverin recovers and returns to kill the Demon Lord Orcrist.

Eldar's Eldon, Rosabethe and Nydarn are slain in battle against Taigra the Damned.

Louhri tries to userp Elluva's rule and become Queen of the Eldar. She briefly allies with Moorum, but Elluva finds out and exiles her into the far north. Louhri (beloved daughter of Orion), tries luring other Eldar with her, but none will go.

Prince Ciriant of Alinor is slain by "The Unspoken Oath" on the Bridge of Tears.

Cartanis, Ciriant's best friend, asks the Gods for aid. A mysterious knight in black and gold armor takes him to an ancient barrow. Inside he finds the sword "Spirit Wind", last remaining essence of the Dragon King Baphomet.

Alinor's Queen Estarriah is besieged by Obsjaku the Scarlet Flame. Fearing certain death, she orders the dispersal of the elven Star Crown.
Alinor is about to be totally consumed in unholy fire when a hitherto unknown Wizard called Soloman comes to their aid. Soloman battles and slays the Morlord Obsjaku, using his new fast magical language.

Among the slain Morlords are Orcrist, Obsjaku, Timorden and Taigra.
Soloman teleports to Elan and shows the Eldar which beings are being used as anchors by Moorum. Without his anchors, the distortion magic fails, sending the armies of Mor back north.

Eldar Aphriel creates the Rainbow fields in memory of the fallen.

Aiah - destined High Priestess of Makailla and founder of the Sisters of Sorrow is born.

Months later, Altur and his brothers find the Jixliah - Wan and the Portal of Night. After talking to this being and studying it, Altur becomes convinced that Wan is a God. When Wan talks of the Eternal Spring, Altur knows that this entity before him is closer to HIS God than Ortha, Emonra or any of the others could possibly be. He and his brothers begin calling themselves Priests of Wan. They wear black and white as Wan is black and white.

Greyog soon tracks Thorgustan down, persuading him to come back and complete reading from the book. Greyog lies by saying "We must complete this second ritual. Only then will our powers be complete."
All 3 perform the Ritual "Create Undead Realm". However as soon as the Plane comes into existence, Greyog turns on his companions and claims it for himself.

Greyog and Thawdred begin hunting Makaila. Concerned for her existence, Makaila pours her spirit into the land, dissolving her essence so it cannot be stolen.

Much of Makaila's power goes into Aiah, her most devout priestess.
Makaila's empty, but immortal flesh is captured by Greyog and imprisoned.
Aiah and Altur meet during this undead conflict. They gain a tremendous respect for each others abilities.
Aiah becomes first of the Diomi. (Female Domans). Altur's Doman's wear black. Aiah's Diomi wear white.

By now, Thawdred has virtually crushed the religion of Ortha and enslaved the worshippers of Miah.

But when Thawdred stumbles upon the followers of the Old God, Dayon the "Ash-bearer", he comes to grief. On the plains of Nienskalth, a hundred heroic men of Dayon defeat three thousand of Thawdred's troops. Thawdred's fate is unknown.

As Dayon is linked religiously with "The weeping oak", the Maiden's of Riesha begin chopping down all oak trees across Esias.

Greyog is banished by Altur and Aiah into an astral prison.
Sharendayne's Deathguard are defeated by Altur and Aiah's astral powers.
Sharendayne retreats to the Isle of the Pale Moon, deep underground.

The threat to Esias over, Soloman returns to enthrone at Erlendy, the first true King of a united Esia; King Tageon.

The Daasin hero, Kerakay's of the Lance, wins the battle of the Bloomfields against Suraan.

Altur feels a presence in Darksea that he believes is the spirit of Wan. He tries to make contact with it but fails. Altur and Aiah's marriage becomes difficult as Altur becomes more and more obsessed with the Portal of Night and the fate of Wan.

Altur and Aiah are visited quite often by Soloman who pretends he is just stopping by for friendly visits but is in fact checking that the World isn't about to blow up.

End of Year. 3 Priests of Wan; Alizar, Sanyel and Ebus attempt to summon Wan back from the Beyond. They perform their ritual beneath the Holy Hill, hoping to restore communication with their "God". However, something else comes to them. By opening their souls to Wan they unwittingly allow the Living Dark to enter and they become what is later known as the "3 Kings." An earthquake strikes the Holy Hill. Altur finds the drained bodies of his 3 brothers lying crumpled around a gaping black hole in the floor. The Temple on top of the Hill collapses. Aiah calls upon Soloman for aid who quickly arrives (After all - he has a direct Red phone line to Darksea - just in case the Portal starts swallowing everyone.) Altur, having received visions of something terrible happening - just like this, suggests that Soloman help him build an Astral Prison. Soloman agrees and based on Altur's designs, sets to work. In the mean time though, the Living Dark settles down and seems to go dormant.

As the months pass, the Priests of Wan (Domans), stand guard over the black pit. Eventually they put stones over it and limit who goes down into the chamber as anyone sleeping above it or coming close to it hears voices whispering to them - the voices of the 3 absorbed priests. Note - Years later, only the High Doman can go below as the whispers of the Living Dark are known to drive men mad and only the High Doman is supposed to have the strength to resist them.

Soloman works to create the Keystone but delays its creation - mainly because Mount Eldahar are watching him and he doesn't want to get caught. Aiah and Altur continue to have disagreements over the Portal, the fate of Wan and this new threat. Eventually, feeling let down by Soloman, Altur is forced by his brother Domans to act. Despite Aiah's vehement disagreement, Altur leads an exhibition of 7 into the Portal of Night in search of Wan and is never seen again.

When Aiah tells Soloman what Altur has done, Soloman tells her that Altur and the other priests have now ceased to exist. Aiah, finding it impossible to believe what Altur believed, agrees with Soloman. Note - Soloman has still not admitted to creating Wan through his meddling. Soloman by his very nature doesn't admit to anything and is a born liar.

Later that year Soloman returns to Darksea with the completed Keystone. He meets up with Thalamar of Wan and together they activate the Keystone of Wan to seal the 3 Kings and their Darkness in place. Soloman truly believes that the Keystone will last forever (because he's that confident in his abilities). Thalamar has his doubts as Altur spoke many times of the future and a dark threat. Neither realise that this future and is only a few hundred years away for in 1800, the Astral plane will undergo it's cyclic refresh and the wards empowering the Keystone's Astral prison will fail.
