### **1.5 million years ago -**

**The Nula arrive and build/discover the Source well. The Nula are said to be able to channel the Source with their minds.**

### **Between 1.5 million-500,000 years ago -**

**The Zenion are created from the Source and build the 7 monoliths. Their leader, the head priestess, was named Thali. The Zenion collected Source in bottles. Eventually, a feud arose between the Aetherial Order and the common Zenion swimmers, causing the Bottle Rebellion. During this, Thali’s brother is arrested. Because the Source was unhappy with being contained, it created a blowback that destroyed the nation of Zenia and caused it to collide with Earth. This created the Forked Earth, a separate dimension looking similar to Earth that houses the Source well and can be accessed through portals in the desert surrounding Las Vegas, Nevada.**

They say their people, the Nuwuvi, have cared for the land (their Mother) for time immemorial.*
