The Children's Timeline

The timeline of the Children's Anuad Canon.

## First Era

* A daedric cult destroys an innocuous temple to the Eight Divines (since Talos didn't exist back then). This seemingly wanton act awakens the first vestige of hatred and anger within the ancient sorcerer Sebastien Fontaine, who grows resentful of the Divines and turns to the daedra for power, renouncing his vow as a priest.

* **Rise of Sebastien Fontaine** - Sebastien masters the art of transforming man into daedra and daedra into man. He uses his process to perform an experiment on himself, by replacing his heart with a daedra heart, while he was a vampire. This process cured his vampirism and turned him into an immortal, undying entity. Sebastien also gains great powers from this deed. Sebastien kept a low profile, though.

## Second Era

* **Birth of the Fontaine family** -Sebastien binds a Dark Seducer from the Shivering isles against her will and turns her partially human with the use of his dark arts. With this Daedra, Sebastien fathers multiple children, all hideous monstrosities.

* **Birth of Kyaran Fontaine**- Sebastien's first human looking child, Kyaran, is born. Kyaran will later serve as the template from which all the modern Fontaine family members will be born from. He is also the common ancestor of all the Fontaines that live today.

* **Fontaine Bloodline stabilized**- The last of the "monstrous" Fontaine children are killed and disposed of. All the living Fontaines, who comprise the modern Fontaine Bloodline, are now fully human and do not retain any daedra traits, besides their strange powers.

* **Death of Sebastien Fontaine**- Sebastien Fontaine kills himself over the guilt that he feels for using his family as animals in breeding program. Still, Sebastien fails ultimately, only casting himself into a form of "dreamless sleep", waiting for the day someone will resurrect him.
