Timeline of Paragonian Events
AE - 5, Beginning-Lasair Appearance of the Sorceror
The sorceror is magically stranded to the lands of Paragon (via a failed magikal travel experiment) and out of boredom and a thought to make himself a god, begins meddling with the magics of the elements, attempting to imbue them into the packs of wolves that claim the lands. It is then that he will claim rulership over them all and stake his claim over this world and perhaps others.
AE -5, Middle-Lasair Disaster of Wild Magic
A pack of wolves are sent into the spirit world (The start of the soon to be Spiorad pack) due to the releasing of a blast of wild magic from the sorceror during his experimentations.
AE -5, End-Fuacht The Rise of Elements
His elemental experiments beginning to have success, four isolated family packs that he has been targeting; one of the forest (Emerald Forest), one of the lake (Sapphire Lake), one of the desert (Ruby Desert), and one of the mountains (Quartz Peaks), begin to show blossoming elemental attributes.
AE -3, Beginning-Nua Sacrifice of Earth
The Alphaess of the Emerald Forest wolves gives her life to the focus in the center of their lands, in an attempt to ensure her pack's safety, fearful of this strange presence. This unwittingly solidifies the wolves' ties to their element. She joins the forest as it's spirit, a watchful protector of the wolves of earth.
AE 0, Mid-Nua Death of the Magick Being¯
The being of magick that has changed Paragon's wolves is slain by the so-called Tyrants of Air, brothers whom have taken hold of the Quartz Peaks pack, ruling with an iron paw and their newfound charms.
AE 1, Mid-Dorcha Endowment of Seraphina
Having watched from the spirit realm as the Tyrants of Air made plans to take over the lands of Paragon with their elemental powers, (as one of the wolves that was thrown into the spirit world as a result of the wild magic blast) a young wolfess by the name of Seraph finds a way to return to the world. She uses her newly found charms related to the spirit element and defeats the Tyrants of Air, recognizing that this is for the greater good of the wolves on Paragon. In doing so, she assimilates the element of air, rising to be worshipped as the Feolans' Celestial.
AE 2, End-Nua Ascendancy of Storms
A strange magick imbues the wolves of the Pearly Cliffs pack, causing them to acquire elemental charms of the storms. From the skies comes a great hawk of thunder and lightning, appearing only to seem to lend power to an orb within their lands, seeming to give the wolves their elemental charms, and then leaving again. This hawk is later said to have been a great wolf of legend, with lightning in its eyes and a stormy pelt, the pack leaders naming it Toirnuil, the Celestial of storms.
AE 2, Beginning-Dorcha Fall of Water
A young wolf set to make his way in his pack, the Uiscens of Sapphire Lake, finds the sorceror's workshop and is affected by a magickal draught within. Coming even more fully into the element of water, and winding up superior to the others in his pack, he is looked on as a freak and ends up falling from grace, only at the end finding that he does possess the skill to lead the pack as a bitter Celestial.
AE 3, Mid-Dorcha The Great Exodus
Wolves from the packs that have been changed by the elements gather together in a sort of "rebellion", leaving their lands in search of a place that they can reside in where they can feel safe. They travel into Amethyst Ridge and are never heard from again.
AE 5, Beginning-Nua First Return of Spirit
The Spiorad somehow manage to return to the lands of Paragon from the Shrouded Lands, if only for a small while, as after only a few months they depart again, simply vanishing from where they'd arrived in the Amethyst Ridge.
AE 10, Mid-Nua - AE 10, End-Lasair Dawn of the Shadow
Skotadi, the darkness that has been created by the releasing of elements into the world, rises to power, blackening the world in darkness for several months.
AE 10, Beginning-Lasair Second Return of the Spirit
The Spiorad return once more in order to aid the remaining wolves of Paragon with banishing the darkness to whence it had come. These wolves are smaller in number, and seem more isolated, yet they still are able to provide aid. At this time, the Sanctuary has reappeared in the Diamond Shores.
AE 15, Mid-Nua Departure of Spirit
The wolves of Spirit, known as the Spiorad, leave the world again as if they were simply taken back into the spirit world, returning to the Shrouded Lands.
AE 19, Mid-Fuacht Rise of Karrash
After much strife in the desert, Karrash is realized as the Celestial of Fire. The fissure that lies deep beneath the tunnels is stated as his holy place as that is where he has gone to rest, leaving the Tineans to forge their own ways.
AE 30, Mid-Dorcha Third Return of Spirit
The wolves of Spirit, again return in part, to the lands, reappearing for quite some time, enabling them to chronicle some history of Paragon. The Sanctuary at this time has reappeared in the Jade Grasslands, giving them an uniquely close view of several of the other elemental packs.
AE 35, Mid-Nua Second Departure of Spirit
The Spiorad leave the world again as if they were simply taken back into the spirit world, returning to the Shrouded Lands.
AE 45, Mid-Lasair Exile of Lightning
The worship of Toirnuil has been largely forgotten, as the wolves have moved on past their legends. Suddenly, it seems that the cliffs are now empty, the wolves within gone without a trace left behind.
AE 50, End-Lasair Silex Flamma
A strange rock formation in the middle of the Jade Grasslands appears, causing problems for the elemental wolves that encounter it.
AE 50, Beginning-Fuacht Iris Comet
A strange comet streaks across the sky, causing the elemental powers of the wolves to be adversely affected for the time of it's passage.
AE 50, Mid-Fuacht Final Return of Spirit
Some Spiorad return to the lands again . . . this time the Sanctuary appears in what is known as the Amethyst Ridge in the northern east part of Paragon's mainland.
AE 50, End-Fuacht The Spiorad Revival Having been cursed with their inability to stay tied to the material lands of Paragon since their creation, the Spiorad finally find their way to an island off of the southeastern coast of Paragon. The island has been shrouded in mist for many years, without any wolf knowing for what purpose it may have existed, but with the use of their charms, the Spiorad are able to re-activate the spirit fountain in the middle of the island and finally solidify their pack to one location. This island is recognized as their ancient homeland, the Carnelian Isle, and the pack resides now permanently in the material world of Paragon, however some Spiorad are still remaining in the Shrouded Lands, and will be forced to find their own way back to the material plane.
AE 50, End-Fuacht Tempest Returns
The wolves of lightning regain their packlands as they return to Paragon from exile, bringing Toirnuil as well back to the lands.
AE 50, End-Fuacht Gathering of Dust
A Crithean and a Feolan meet and fall in love, creating Deannach and the Duradan, wolves of dust.
AE 50, Beginning-Dorcha The First Breaking of Water
The Uiscens have lost their faith in their element and dissipate as a pack, scattering to the winds and losing their elemental focus. The element of water no longer exists on Paragon as a pack, and in response, the lands of Paragon begin to dry up and experience a drought of massive proportions!
AE 50, Middle-Dorcha Duradan to the Rescue!
The Duradan hold the key to halting the drought upon Paragon, and successfully find the answer, destroying the strange artifact that been resonating with the loss of the water element. Paragon's weather is returned to normal for the time being, thanks to the Nomads of Dust.
AE 50, End-Dorcha A New Land
A new territory rises from the depths of the sea, bringing with it strange wolves that seem to change with the rise and fall of the sun. The Obsidian Slopes and Gypsum Pools are unearthed onto Paragon. New wolves are found here, the Lanuin with the powers over light and shadow, having been hidden from view since even before the other elements had risen to the lands!
AE 51, Beginning-Nua Rise of the Carrion Wolves
The wolves of darkness and decay, known as the Lan, are released to torment the wolves of Paragon, coming up from the underworld, their exit point the newly found land off of the southwestern coast, the Obsidian Slopes and Gypsum Pools. It seems that it was the Lanuin's charge to guard the world from their evil taint.
AE 51, Middle-Nua Days of Darkness
Skotadi once again gains power as his Lan have been released, and rises to the surface of Paragon once more, casting the world into darkness.
AE 51, End-Nua Rise of Shadow
The Lan are driven back by the Lanuin, the wolves of shadow, and the Lanuin pack decides to formulate itself as a force on Paragon, to protect the wolves of the elements from the evil wolves of darkness, the Lan. They are the guardians of the portal into the underworld.
AE 51, End-Nua Rise of the Uiscen
The wolves of water are found, one from each of the four main elements of Paragon, and rise from their exile, reclaiming their status as a major elemental pack of Paragon, led by a wolfess named Emblem Eclipse whom had been held in stasis as the last remaining faithful of Pyridon. Though small, the pack now seems to have yet again a solid place on Paragon.
AE 51, Beginning-Lasair Fall of Shadow
The Lanuin have failed as a pack. Some of the Lan have broken free to the surface again, and the wolves of shadow are taken back into the underworld, the Infernum, as punishment for failing their task.
AE 51, Beginning-Lasair It Came From the Sea!
Strange creatures, the likes of which have never been seen on Paragon by the wolves, seem to arrive from nowhere, seeking something, which is revealed to be some sort of way to save their own lands. Not sticking around, however, they leave shortly after they've arrived, perhaps finding their salvation?
AE 51, End-Lasair The Grand Convocation
A meeting of all of the wolves of Paragon called by the Alpha of the Spiorad, Spectral Starlight, recent events of the land are discussed and warnings are given out due to the emergence of the Lan on Paragon.
AE 51, Beginning-Fuacht Release of the Spirits
The veil between the Realm of Elysia (the spirit realm) and Paragon has thinned, allowing spirit intervention into the lands of Paragon.
AE 51, Mid-Fuacht Trapped In the Shrouded Lands
A strange occurrence has happened all over Paragon. Wolves are disappearing from where they were simply walking, or resting, and not seen again, nor are any tracks left as to their whereabouts. It seems as if they have simply been transported into another realm altogether! This is found to be the Shrouded Lands, where the Spiorad had been often trapped in their years off of Paragon.
AE 51, Mid-Fuacht Visions and Dreams
As the veil of Elysia has thinned, now so have certain Heyoka gained visions of the past or perhaps what is yet to come? The spirit release unto the land has also seemed to affect the weather, unleashing a Hurricane of devastating proportion onto Paragon!
AE 51, End-Fuacht The Sorceror's Return
The sorceror has returned from death to appear before the wolves of Paragon, giving reality to some of the visions that were being viewed by the Shaman and Spiorad of the lands. He wears the strange guise of a feline and attempts to cause the wolves to rethink their own existence. However, he disappears soon after, leaving the uncertainty that he could return some day.
AE 51, Beginning-Dorcha Luminaries of Ice
Two wolves, one of the water, and one of the air, become explorers and unleash a harsh Dorcha on all of Paragon, awakening again the wolves that were lost many years ago in the Ridge. The element of ice, the Reioghan, now holds a pack on Paragon.
AE 52, Middle-Dorcha In Media Res
Yet again, the Anord feel the loss of their Celstial and the orb that holds their element has gone missing. They are sent to find it once again, but this time there is a twist; a new land has seemingly opened up, linked to their packlands somehow, with similar elements yet different creatures. The Anord vanish from the surface of Paragon into this world for a time, in order to regain their lost focus, leaving the Pearly Cliffs unprotected.
AE 52, End-Dorcha The Crystalline Catastrophe
The Anord have returned safely with their orb, however there is yet another twist to this event: the strange lands that were found to be tied to the Pearly Cliffs are still there, and now the creatures, now known as the Nanose'hame from the Thundering Plains of the land Kith, have started to come into Paragon as well, seeking answers to what might be going on. As well, the Duradan pack attempts to make a joint excursion into the Thundering Plains, nomads in search of perhaps new hunting grounds and wind up trapped there, the energies of the Plains turning most of the pack into crystal statues! Some of the Duradan are given a second chance by Deannach, as the pack dissolves, and are sent to reside with either the Critheans or the Feolans.
AE 52, Beginning through Middle-Nua The Sorceror's Return
A dark presence has come to Paragon and is understood after some investigation to be that which once created Paragon, returning once more in the form of a dark feline creature resembling the Nanose'hame. This presence comes to challenge both the shamans of the world as well as the Feolan pack, but vanishes after only a short time without doing more than raising some questions and frightening some wolves once again. In the strife and confusion of a battle between he, Spectral Starlight Luminary of the Spiorad, Kyndle shamaness of the Anord and Hiberna shamaness of the Reioghan, Spectral Starlight is thought to have been slain and her body is not able to be found.
AE 52, Middle through End-Nua The Awakenings
Another realm has come into existence connected to the Emerald Forest. The Forest of Twilight now seems to be as connected to the Emerald Forest as the Thundering Plains are to the Pearly Cliffs. This brings many strange forest like Nanose'hame into existence, and they begin to explore the lands of Paragon. However, this Forest of Twilight is more dangerous than the familiar Emerald Forest, and tends to attack wolves arriving into it! Also during this time, a strange stone circle appears in the Jade Grasslands, and it's mere presence seems to alter the weather charms of air, ice and lightning. In the exploration of the strange stone circle, finally one wolf of each element arrives to it's place, and finds a puppy there. One that states she's Spectral Starlight, Luminary of the Spiorad, but only in a smaller form. With puppy Spectral's aid, the assembled wolves manage to topple the strange stone formation, thus ending the meddling with the elements that has been happening due to this event. Spectral then returns to her Isle and with the aid of her Spiorad, becomes made whole again.
AE 52, Beginning through Middle-Lasair A Blaze of Fire
The fire element has gotten out of control in the hottest Lasair ever to grace the lands of Paragon. The heat is so much that even the Emerald Forest falls victim to a "flash fire", burning down a large chunk of the eastern part of it's realm. In the realm of the Reioghan, they begin to experience avalanches as the snow melts and loosens from the very tops of Amethyst Ridge! In the Ruby Desert, a wolf is found as only a scorched corpse on the sands, eluding to a death caused by intense heat and fire. The Tineans find now that they begin to lose control over their elemental charms, and they begin the search for the trigger that has started this strange event. After much searching, they find a set of tunnels well hidden under the sands, off of the normal paths that they call their home, and manipulate an ancient artifact of power that had been awakened perhaps by the scorched wolf from before, to stop this elemental meddling.
AE 52, End-Lasair through Beginning-Fuacht Mists and Visions
Somewhere in the Grasslands strange things have begun to happen. In an area formerly having been turned into a marsh by the hurricane of AE 51, a mist has begun to rise from the ground, completely cloaking the area up to several wolf lengths in all directions. This “block of mist” is not impassable, no, however, those that decide to explore, stepping even one paw inside will transport them to another location entirely . . . the Shrouded Lands. Only the Spiorad can travel in the Shrouded Lands without being deluded by it's spirits and random reformations of terrain, and they now go to aid the wolves of Paragon that have stepped paw into this realm quite by accident! By finding the exit to this realm, tied to the spirit focus of the fountain of Meabhair, several brave Spiorad lead the wolves back into the material plane, although now almost two entire months have passed for some of them since they'd originally lost themselves within!
