Bran, in trying to escape tumbles down a sheer wet slope and crashes headfirst into a tree, going unconscious. When he awakens he rescues what belongings he can and following a strange compulsion sets off east. He needs answers - Who are these men? Why did his parants suddenly change from simple villagers to experts in fighting and where has his sister gone?
13/5	Bran arrives at the mysterious Castle Cthon. To enter he has to pass three strange and surreal tests. When the young man succeeds he enters a beautiful garden and is met by Preyli - daughter of Cthon. Preyli immediately knows Bran is the man she will love (as her prophetic mother has mentioned it once or twice) but all Bran sees is a very sweet and innocent (if a little scatter brained) girl. Gaining an audience with Cthon - (a strange man surrounded by books who has to write everything down as it happens - exactly as it happens, even things happening a thousand miles away!) Bran tries to make sense of the old man's gibberish. Something about, "Seek out the Dead King - He will guide you." Saying goodbye to Preyli, Bran sets off, still not sure where he is going or why.
16/5	Bran is attacked by a Nodene during the night. It scares the willy's out of him.
25/5	Bran wanders into a desert. In the middle of the desert he finds a small pyramid guarded by a huge one-eyed giant. A large black warhorse stands near a thick barred grating in the ground. As he sneaks over he notices a man trapped under the grating in a deep pit. The man introduces himself as Cullyn Thane. After running around a lot trying to avoid the cyclops Bran manages to rescue Cullyn. To his amazement the former prisoner gets charges into the pyramid, grabs a 10' long metal shaft and impales the cyclops dead through its eye. Cullyn explains how he has been journeying around the world trying to collect 3 elven stones. Already possessing two of the three he arrived in Sardium after the Stone of Antimagic. Underestimating its power, he walked unknowingly into a trap, his magical items rendered useless. Hearing of Bran's misfortunes, Cullyn introduces his sword, Paeon and explains a little about his own Destiny. The two men become friends with Cullyn agreeing to help Bran find his sister.

22/6	Enquiring about his father and mother leads Bran to the gladiator arena. Someone remembers Bran's father as a fearsome warrior who graduated to the Palace so without wasting any time, Cullyn drags Bran off to The Shining Palace. A few enquiries later (especially after mentioning his mother and father) and Bran suddenly finds himself standing face to face with the Saadi Queen Imryssaani herself. A strange story unfolds.

25/7	Bran uses his Void power to "read" the history of a piece of metal - learning it is from the southern face of Kim Kalagûl (The Mountain of Shadow) in Ungmar.

6/8	Bran, Preyli and Cullyn are sailing on The Deliverance under Captain Tetrem and the Order of the Raised Man. They pass by the Tun ring Rock - a giant 1800' high rock surrounded by sea just off of Sardium's southern coast. Tun ring is renowned for its colossal library - in a town on its summit called Twilkarnum. Preyli examines the rock of Tun calling it Ginat stone. By taking one of the Tun's rocks she will be able to return there whenever she wants using her Balance power of Balancing Natural Forces.

9/8	Iana calls a gathering of all the Homé. Her experiments with wards reach a new level when she learns how to tap the spiritual reservoir of the entire city. One of her wards channels so much power that it darkens the entire sky above the city ! The army of Mordark is now only one week away.
10/8	Bran dreams of Aana - Iana's "dreamer" friend. Aana fills Bran in on events in Khur via her dreams. Bran is challenged by a Master Swordsman called Duval Vanse - as an Aidin (or pretending one) Bran cannot refuse the challenge. Entering the stillness of his Void, Bran focuses his entire being on the upcoming fight. He wins, running Vanse through with his sword Deign.
11/8	404 Homé gather in Khurdir's great temple to the Sky father. It is the most impressive gathering ever witnessed in Khur's history. Members of all Katra's are present ;- Mantis (red), Cantis (yellow), Doena (white), Karma (green), Tarot (black), Keelin (violet) and Lockra (blue). Iana's plan is to make a synergy of spirit so powerful that it can call forth all of Khurdir's spirits and give them flesh. With thousands of the dead fighting to protect the city, Iana thinks Khurdir will stand a chance. Bran sails by The Maiden's Arch - another landmark off of the coast of Sardium.
12/8	Up in the Black Mountains, Taimen's is turned down again by the spiritualist Mekenes. He killes the spiritualist and heads further north. The Eldar give two horses to the Queen of Andor as a gift; Meratasel and Lericantle. Bran, Cullyn and Preyli arrive on the island of Sevekar.
13/8	Masarmorri the Dark elf attacks Iana. She defends herself with wards, driving the unfortunate Dark elf away. It doesn't end there though as Iana manages to track the elf's spirit down to the Eye of Tethys in the underdeeps. Defeating the elf again, Iana quickly learns how to use the Eye of the World and scry practically anything she desires. This is a major blow for the Black Elves who have kept the Eye a secret for centuries. Later that day, the first wave of Demons from Mordark descend on the City of Khur, appearing at random. Summoned by the Demon deck of Minantius (a pack of Chaos cards), 250 Ob Calangu, 100 Shi ro fire elementals and 10 Brethren of the Master Mage (evil demonic assassins) wreak havoc and bloodshed. The Demon attack is brief but vicious. Iana's test wards fair admirably against the Chaos magic. She steps up her efforts with the Homé to try and shield the entire city against further attacks. A few low flying birds get vaporized trying to fly into the city through her wards.
14/8	Bran meets Tellerbastion - a giant man of Styr in Amoch.
16/8	After several days of extensive soul "reading" using his power of the Void - Bran finishes reading himself. He now knows himself completely (as long as he keeps up to date with his past and present). This means that when he enters his Void, because he knows himself utterly, his agility, dodge and reactions are greatly improved. Bran "reads" Acerin Ra - 4th Mage of Damorkand's Black Table. Bran begins singing a different song each night to Preyli - using his Void as inspiration by "drawing upon" someone in the World already singing the song.
29/8	Bran's journey to Metis Ordil.
30/8	Bran's party is attacked by Xengril - a Demon of Wind sent by Imryssa's evil sister Morinesa. Morinesa and her eunuch bodyguard Evander have taken the Buena Kamer and want to keep it. Imryssa uses the Rite of Extinction (Athos Ulma) on Xengril - sending it screaming into the nether.
1/9	Bran's group begins planning an attack to retake the Buena Kamer. Gideon the Eldar lends Imryssa his Eldar Horse - "Yarrow Sanyin."
8/9	Orion's Continental barrier drops.
10/11	Palasdine forces land in Yarili but are initially driven back by the remains of the Resistance. Ross remains on Eldahar looking after Celese and his two children. After realising his life will never be normal again and just how famous he now is, he grudgingly becomes a member of the Eldar council. The Eldar gladly except him.
12/11	The City of Kaladan in Andor is attacked by Yulasha - Spider Queen of Mordark. During the night her Phase Spiders descend across the city weaving their astral webs. They attack the sleeping and weak, possessing and cocooning bodies.
