Samphnj's Timeline AU/Pantala

Updated map of Pantala
(Insert NEW map)
Pantala, previously referred to as the Lost Continent by Pyrrhian dragons, is set across the ocean from Pantala's western coastline. It is home to the BeetleWings, HiveWings, LeafWings, and the SilkWings. The current year is 5,043 AS.
== General ==
(Removed Hive stuff below; specific description)
(SW - SilkWing; HW - HiveWing; LW - LeafWing)
* Jewel Hive - (SW) Now Prodenia Bay.
* Bloodworm Hive (SW) was destroyed by LeafWing rebels during the SilkWing War, and no efforts to rebuild have been taken. What remains have been moved to the other Hives in the SilkWing Queendom.
* Mantis Hive -(SW) Now Monarch and the seat of the SilkWing Queendom.
* Cicada Hive - (SW) Now Silverwash Landing
* Hornet Hive - (HW) Now Diadem Hive
* Vinegaroon Hive - (HW) Now Tortoiseshell Hive
* Tsetse Hive- (LW) Zelkova
* Yellowjacket Hive (LW) - Repurposed as a garden?? Idk. It’s under LeafWing control.
* Wasp Hive - (LW) Now known as Clearsight, mainly named for her Temple/Library there and as a historic figure. All evidence of Wasp’s horrific ruling was stripped away. It now functions mainly as a museum, and is inhabited by any members of the tribes. There is still a Librarian, but the role is much different and is an actual librarian role instead of a plant-controlled weapon.
=== Timekeeping ===
Pantala has seasons that are roughly the same around the entire continent. Their year is split in four periods: the cold months, the harvest season, the rainy season, and the dry-heat months. They measure their months around the smallest moon, e.g. Flamesilk lasts a whole moon cycle, similar to Pyrrhia. These terms are used by all four tribes.
# Chionea
# Axyridis
# Dircenna
# Tulsi
# Tagetes
# Culicidae
# Ixodes
# Passalus
# Lineata
# Rosid
# Catkin
# Rhopa
They have seven days in their week, with six working days and one weekend buffer.
# Junix
# Bembix
# Tetrix
# Larix
# Tortrix
# Perdix
# Salix (buffer)
=== Currency ===
Pantalan currency is referred to as “scales” and resembles the silver scales of herring caught by the BeetleWings in the western coast. These scales are made of dull iron, and can be exchanged for goods. Some Pantalans also barter, and it is not uncommon for precious jewels to be used as well.
=== Languages ===
Dragon: The primary language of Pyrrhia and Pantala.
Pantalan: The original language spoken by the residents of Pantala before Clearsight's arrival.
Pantalan Sign Language: Very similar to Pyrrhian Sign Language, but with more "flowy" claw motions. Comparative to writing in cursive opposed to plain text. Many Pyrrhians can still understand Pantalan Sign Language and vice versa.
Scavenger: Spoken by Scavengers. Sounds like "squeaks" and "grunts" to dragons.
== HiveWing Queendom ==
=== Diadem Hive ===
The seat of the HiveWing Queendom, Diadem Hive is home to Queen Jewel and many other members of the royal family. It also functions as the center of commerce in the HiveWing Queendom and has a very dense population. Many HiveWings call this Hive home.
=== Keepsake ===
Official name for the “sinkhole,” which is the main entrance to the HiveWing tunnels. Historically, these tunnels were used to house a majority of the HiveWing tribe. Several hundred years ago an ancestor of Wasp moved the tribe aboveground. The tunnels were mainly abandoned, and the Hives were constructed instead. Following Ex-Empress Wasp’s assassination, the reconstruction of the tribe borders, and a total overhaul of Pantalan society, the HiveWing’s gradually returned to the tunnels. However, they also still inhabited the two Hives left in their territory, Diadem Hive and Tortoiseshell Hive. They’ve expanded these tunnels to also connect the Hives to the rest of the territory.
=== Tortoiseshell Hive ===
Tortoiseshell Hive was known as Vinegaroon Hive during Empress Wasp’s reign, and was renamed shortly after her assassination. It’s named after Queen Tortoiseshell, who was a HiveWing with royal Clearsight blood, as she was Clearsight’s great-great-granddaughter.
Tortoiseshell Hive has been described to be on the shorter side compared to Diadem, and sports  various shops and quaint living quarters for the Hive’s inhabitants. As well as being the home to Tortoiseshell Hive University, this Hive is also home to several government buildings and their respective officials.
15 "levels."

== SilkWing Queendom ==
=== Monarch ===
Monarch, formerly known as Mantis Hive during the Hive regime, is currently the seat of the SilkWing Queendom. Other names for Monarch include: Monarch Hive and the former Mantis Hive. Monarch was named after the former SilkWing queen, Queen Monarch and her predecessors of the same name. Monarch is primarily SilkWing populated, but there are often transfer students from the other tribes attending the schools. As in recent years, there have been more dragons from other tribes inhabiting Monarch.
Monarch University is a  technical university based in Monarch. It was formerly the Mantis Hive University, but was merged with the former Hornet Hive University following the end of the Reprised Tree Wars. Monarch Uni takes up the floor below Monarch, and branches off into the tunnels underneath the Hive.
Monarch is shorter in stature compared to its neighbors Silverwash Landing and Prodenia Bay. The hive-shaped building is only 15 floors including the one underneath Monarch, many of the floors are residential or educational based.
The underground floor of Monarch is where the university is located. Taking up about half of the floor is the Mantis Library, which also extends into the ground floor, giving the library two levels.

==== Monarch University ====
There are two campuses of Monarch Uni, the primary one in Monarch and the secondary campus at Diadem Hive in the Hive Queendom. The University was split across the Queendoms to hopefully bring the two tribes closer together in familial spirit after the Reprised Tree Wars. The University has degrees available in education and engineering, as well as commerce and invention.

=== Prodenia Bay ===
Prodenia Bay, also known as Prodenia Bay Port and Prodenia Hive by some HiveWings, is a commercial seaport city residing in the SeaWing Queendom. Prodenia Bay is a multi-tribe city with the majority of the population being SilkWings and HiveWings, however there are also a large percentage of SeaWings and SkyWings as well. 
Prodenia Bay Port is the main seaport of Pantala, and receives shipments from Pyrrhia including fish, fruit, scrolls, seeds, and other commerce. Dragons emigrating from Pyrrhia also first arrive at Prodenia Bay Port. After the event of the Second Tree Wars, LeafWings traded with Pyrrhian RainWings to get Pyrrhian saplings and seeds which they then used to replant several groves of trees around Prodenia Bay.
There is a garden at the top of Prodenia with a wading pool and a shrine to Clearsight. It is surrounded by a fence made of treestuff, and the “ceiling” is a smaller circle very high above the garden with “spokes” connecting it to the floor of the garden. The floor is tiled with white and light gray speckled stone. There is also stained glass in the middle of the ceiling with several windchimes hanging from the ceiling. Clearsight’s Garden is the quietest place in Prodenia and is a popular place to have picnics. As of the end of the SilkWing War, there are a few saplings currently growing in the garden which are monitored heavily by LeafWings with Leafspeak.
Prodenia’s library is the level below Clearsight’s Garden, and is a part of Prodenia Bay Community College. It is used by any member of Prodenia Bay, and is heavily used by the college students as well as the dragonets and hatchlings from the primary schools a few floors down.
Prodenia Bay Community College, formerly known as Jewel Hive University, takes up the two floors underneath the library. There are dorms included in these floors that are mainly used by students from outside of Prodenia Bay. Read more on Prodenia Bay Community College...
Level 16 in Prodenia is where hatchling and primary schooling takes place. Prodenia Bay boasts two schools for each, Phaon Primary and Annelid Nursery School. These schools are attended by any member of any tribe who is within the age group. Both schools have an emphasis on musical talent, and their students are often skilled in more than one instrument. 
Right below the schooling level is The Nest, which is where eggs are placed until they hatch. The Nest is kept dark and has no windows, only a small pool of bioluminescent algae and a few Flamesilk lanterns provide light for visiting parents. The Nest is organized by tribe and the eggs' genealogical branch. There are differing sub-nests belonging to a family, which are typically kept throughout generations. The family may choose to provide extra decoration to the nest and it is often done to differentiate their nest from others. The Nest is also heavily monitored by nursery providers from the nearby hatchling daycare and soldiers.
The two levels below, 13 and 14, house several ballrooms as well as larger houses containing the higher-classed citizens of Prodenia Bay. These floors are also where Queen Jewel used to live before becoming queen. The ballrooms have several large windows overlooking the edge of Prodenia, as well as large balconies which can hold many dragons. Floor-to-ceiling tapestries and gold accents can be seen everywhere, with inhabitants often commissioning large, custom weavings by highly-rated SilkWing artisans. The floor of the ballrooms are ornate tile, with sprawling patterns in several colors. There is also a mosaic depicting Clearsight’s arrival to Pantala stretching along the largest wall.
Levels 4 to 12 are all residential neighborhoods. Each the height of three levels, the residential buildings have floor-to-ceiling walls with each house being around three floors. The streets can be seen as similar to being in a maze, but with very organized streets. The lower the level, the lower ranked the inhabitants tend to be, although that is not the case for all. Those on the bottom level typically have smaller in width apartments, with the highest residentials being quite spacious. The three residential areas are named Dragonfly Square, the lowest level; Ocola View, the middle level; and Damselfly Highrise, the highest residential area.
The Glitterbazaar is the first three floors of Prodenia, as well as a tented area outside of Prodenia surrounding the base. The Glitterbazaar is known across Pantala for its extensive store fronts and shops, as well as the Salvation Statue during the SilkWing War. The shops outside of Prodenia are covered by several silk canopies  to protect the merchant’s  wares. The Glitterbazaar is also characterized by the Flamesilk lanterns hung up everywhere they can be placed to light the dark floors.
In the middle of the first floor of the Glitterbazaar, there is the Salvation Statue, which depicted Ex-Queen Wasp holding a replica of the Book of Clearsight while impaling a LeafWing with her wrist stingers. After the SilkWing War, the statue was torn down and a statue of Cricket and Sundew, heroes of the SilkWing War, was constructed instead.
The Glitterbazaar levels have little windows and natural light and are instead strung with several Flamesilk lamps. The residential floors do have windows, but not many. There are larger windows and balconies in the ballrooms around the 13-14 levels. Windows are more often seen further up the Hive shaped building, and  around the edge of the Hive in the schooling levels. The library has fewer windows for the benefit of the books, but has one huge window with a seating area overlooking the Bay.

=== Timeline (collapsable) ===
0 AS - 450 AS:
The SilkWings and the BeetleWings are the dominant tribes on Pantala. The SilkWings center around the lower half of the continent, while the BeetleWings inhabit the upper. The Poison Jungle remains untouched in the upper right corner of Pantala due to the dangerous plants that inhabit it. While the rest of the continent is almost fully covered with trees, it is a lot less dangerous than the Poison Jungle.
The two tribes, at this time, have no ruling system and both trade and barter with one another. 
BeetleWings: The BeetleWings hunt and fish throughout the forest. They are renowned fighters, and typically host annual competitions and markets with the SilkWings in the center of the continent. 
SilkWings: The SilkWings are primarily farmers of all trades, but also are renowned beekeepers.
450 AS - 500 AS:
As the two tribes start growing in number, they come together to decide official territory lines. However, it is up to the tribe itself to create their ruling system. The tribes still maintain their amiability, but also maintain the borders.
BeetleWings: The BeetleWings decide on having a group of dragons lead their tribe. The group comes to be known as the Flight, and typically has four or five dragons of considerable rank as members. These dragons are voted on by the rest of the tribe, and are cycled out every ten years. The BeetleWings establish official ranks of their military.
SilkWings: The SilkWings decide on a matriarchal monarchy, and settle around the Scorpion Lake. The forest in their territory is known as the Mosaic Greenwood. Their first queen is Queen Alana.
Between 1,250 AS and 2,500 AS:
The HiveWings and LeafWings are exiled from Pyrrhia because their military leaders were planning to combine and overthrow the other tribes to rule the entire continent.
Many of the LeafWing and HiveWing civilians were angry at their leaders for getting them exiled from their home. Due to a citizen's vote, several military leaders of the two tribes were killed before the journey to the other continent was made. There were also two new leaders elected for the two tribes.
After arriving on Pantala, the HiveWings and LeafWings were met with resistance from the native tribe, militant BeetleWings. The BeetleWings had almost exterminated the other Pantalan tribe, the SilkWings, believing that they were the destined tribe to rule Pantala.
The LeafWings and HiveWings were taken in by the hiding SilkWings, the other native tribe of Pantala. Helping with their cause, one of the LeafWings leaders with powerful Leafspeak tried to grow a dangerous plant to go after the BeetleWings. This plant was successful in making the BeetleWings surrender to the other three tribes, but the plant soon grew out of LeafWing control.
The mutated plant, now dubbed the Breath of Evil by those who witnessed it, was full of the desire to grow over the whole planet. Faced with a common foe, the four tribes rallied together to rid Pantala of the Breath of Evil. They succeeded, and territory and Queendoms were established among the leaders of the tribes.
BeetleWings: The BeetleWings elect a new queen, Queen Perdix, who is not focused on ruling the entire continent and is a former artisan of the tribe. The BeetleWings relocated to the northern side of Pantala, mainly the two “wings” of the continent. Because of the Continent War for Pantala, which the BeetleWings started, many regarded the tribe with distrust and the BeetleWings didn’t leave their territory much for the first few decades and instead focused on their societal development as a new Queendom.
HiveWings: The HiveWings developed the land roughly in the middle of Pantala. Their Queendom was centered around a large sinkhole in the middle of the continent, and much of their tribe lived underground in colorful, brightly lit caves. The HiveWing’s system of caves stretched well into the southern part of the continent, and there were pods of HiveWings that lived above-ground around the opening of the caves.
LeafWings: The LeafWings inhabited what they dubbed “The Poison Jungle,” due to the large amounts of dangerous plants and animals that lived there. Because of their Leafspeak, the LeafWings were regarded as possibly the only tribe that could safely live in the Poison Jungle. The Poison Jungle stretched far across the upper eastern shore of Pantala and was scattered with many LeafWing villages.
SilkWings: The SilkWing tribe moved back to their old territory centered around Scorpion Lake in the Mosaic Greenwood, down in the southernmost part of the continent and the “tail” area of Pantala. Their former queen was killed during a skirmish against the BeetleWings, and her daughter became the next queen, Queen Lineata. The SilkWings were known as skilled artisans, mainly weaving, and lived mostly in the treetops of the Mosaic Greenwood.
Roughly 3,012 AS:
Clearsight and the others arrive on the shore of the bay between the LeafWing and HiveWing territories. They are found by a HiveWing guard and brought in through their cave system to meet their queen. They explain where they have arrived from and the HiveWing Queen, Queen Venusta, allows them to stay. 
After a year or so, Clearsight falls in love with a HiveWing royal, Sunstreak, and has dragonets with him. These dragonets carry on the mainly black scales of Clearsight that later become a symbol of a royal HiveWing.
=== Queen Cochineal of the HiveWings ===
 (Queen Cochineal of the HiveWings Coronation Announcement made by Samuel in Canva. HiveWing headshot base by CarnivorousRuse.) Cochineal was the mother of Ex-Queen Wasp, and the queen of the HiveWing's before the start of the Tree Wars.
