### Timeline

#### **Prehistory**

Avadhi-Pahile is the period before Ender Dragons were created by Eyendr. Everything from the beginning of the universe to the beginning of mortal sentience occurred during this avadhi. Pahile is not a Dragon, rather meaning 'before'. Scholars believe Avadhi-Pahile to be the longest avadhi, lasting one-hundred thousand varsau.

Adhi, or the beginning of time, was brought on by the collapse of the previous existence, Oxiri. Of its collapse was born Uchu and Ejofe, Existence and the Universe. It is believed that from the pairing of Uchu and Ejofe the Elders were born.

Eventually, Ejofe blossomed, opening the universe and allowing the Elders to create life upon its petals. The first life to be created by the Elders was made by Hayat—the first alaru, including the Doyen of Ejeru-Conid. The Doyen, starting with Torid, went on to create the rest of life on Ejeru-Conid, including the Bairn.

One of the first sentient mortal races, or sentemau, to be created were the tawilu, a race of tall, amphibious creatures created by Samudri. These tawilu were tempted to the End by one of Eyendr's servants and hatched the first dragon, Azdaho Irkidijia, starting the first avadhi.

#### **Historical Avadhu**

**Avadhi-Azdaho**

Avadhi-Azdaho saw the rise and fall of the Mahina tawilu empire, whose name has been lost to time. After moving to the End and being trapped by the lack of a portal, the tawilu, led by Owari-Tawilu, hatched Azdaho Irkidija. After many varsau of living in the End, Owari-Tawilu was convinced by Eyendr to view his true form, which resulted in Eyendr taking all of the tawilu's sentience and enslaving them, merging them with their main export, ender pearls. Tawilu were used as servants to summon new dragons when others were killed.

In the absence of their natural rival, the population of the other rising race of Overworld sentemau, covecku, the children of Kehana and Yva, grew quickly. This race was the ancestor to modern humans, elves, and iring. They lived in nomadic traveling tribes, never developing kingdoms or empires. They were one of the most religious races for the most part and built temples in the sacred desert and jungle biomes.

Soon enough, an argument occurred among the alaru of Mida, when many of the Doyen disagreed with the recklessness of the Bairn. It was jumpstarted by the birth of Yva's child with a coveck, which the Bairn supported and the Doyen damned. This became a war known as the First War or Irkiwan that resulted in the deaths of Yva and Lorint, and Hayat caused the end of the war by intervening and sending the entire Ejele into an ice age known as the Blinding Snow or Oqqor, killing the majority of mortal races and species. It was during the Oqqor that Kehana denounced all of the gods and retreated to the fiery Nether dimension alongside some of her covecku followers who later became elves, creating lush jungles and forests within it for them to live. Yva's child, the demigod Vedana, was stripped of the majority of their power and hidden with their mortal father Obu by Orzu after their mother's death. Orzu caused both of them to be frozen, but still alive, until Oqqor ended.

A coveck tribe that hid in the stronghold created by the tawilu-Mahina managed to activate the portal and one now called Ohilchu-Dija killed Azdaho, becoming the first being to ever kill a dragon eight thousand, eight hundred and eighty eight days after her birth. The tribe, now known as the Ohilu-Irkidija, Dragonslayers, took shelter in the End and constructed many of the End Cities found there today. They lived in the End for over one hundred varsau before Yeni was summoned by the tawilu. Yeni slaughtered all of the covecku and split the dimension itself in two with her rage, preventing anyone from accessing the End Cities again. She built shulkers of the mucaigeinu's bodies and made them guard the cities to prevent anyone from settling the dimension again.

Oqqor left hundreds of thousands dead, and from those bodies rose the god of undeath, Kiseu. Kiseu was not born of the Elders like the Doyen were, but also was not born of the Doyen like the Bairn were, so his place in the hierarchy of the alaru was debated heavily amongst the gods. He was eventually given the option to choose, and he chose the Doyen.

**Avadhi-Yeni**

Avadhi-Yeni saw the end of Oqqor after three hundred years of fatal cold. From the melted snow rose the weakened covecku, who had taken shelter underground. Only ten percent of the covecku population was still alive, and they were extremely weakened by Oqqor, leaving an empty space for an apex sentema race while they focused on recovering along with the natural world. Seeing the covecku's weakened state and still angry that his last attempt at a sentema race had failed miserably due to the End, Samudri brought pigs from the sea and made them able to walk upon the land. He watched them for a many varsau before gathering the strongest boars and sows he had and giving them sentience and making them walk on two legs. These pigs became the mucaigeinu, the piglins.

The mucaigeinu spread very quickly throughout Mida, becoming dominant in nearly every biome. They built massive cities and even larger armies. The largest of which was the Gegetin Empire, a queendom in the Gegetin plains. The Gegetin Empire reigned for over five hundred varsau led by hundreds of queens, taking over neighboring nations and nearly stomping out the remainder of the covecku.

It was during this period that a lone coveck called Obu awoke alongside an infant Vedana. Obu raised Vedana hidden away from the gods and never told them of their heritage. However, when Vedana was sixteen, Orzu visited them and with Obu's permission told them of their power and of their mother. Vedana made it their mission to prove to the gods that they were worthy of their full power, as Samudri was the only one capable of giving it back. Vedana was given the option to regain her power if they passed three trials chosen by the gods. They agreed, and the first Vedanan Trials began.

The first trial presented to Vedana was from Yoru—it was to climb Mount Osmon, home of the gods, an impossible task for any mortal. Vedana succeeded after three years of climbing, and were given a year of rest atop the mountain. The knowledge god Felic presented the second task, which was to herd all of his one million sheep. Vedana used the help of their tamed wolves as well as built new fences to urge the sheep into the pasture, passing the second trial. The third trial was given by Samudri himself. It was to defeat him in martial combat. They was given another half a year to rest and prepare, which they took, and then gathered in the gods' coliseum to fight the god king. Vedana managed to defeat Samudri 2-1 with the use of their untraditional knowledge of combat. They built the first golem to assist in their battle along with the help of their dogs and ascended to godhood. She chose to join the Bairn gods over the Doyen in compromise with Samudri, as he wanted no half-mortal in the Doyen.

Around three-quarters of the way into Avadhi-Yeni, Yeni Filhadija was slain by the piglin farmer Horci Broadsnout of the Arcin Empire and his band of hunters and farmers. Horci returned to the Overworld with Yeni's head, starting the tradition of taking a dragon's head as a trophy. He was made a duke of Arcin along with his accomplices. He retired from any sort of work soon after, pleased with his spoils, and became a famous hero in Arcin.

Near the end of Avadhi-Yeni, the god Felic introduced time to the piglins of the Liok Republic by teaching them how to document it as he wanted his sibling Cavatta to be more well-known and worshipped amongst mortals. This system, now called the Felician System, is still used to this day.

The tawilu summoned Qara Geindija, the third dragon, around a year after the beginning of the use of the Felician System, beginning Avadhi-Qara.

**Avadhi-Qara**

Avadhi-Qara was one of the less eventful avadhu, though it saw the first humans born of the last covecku. They remained in warmer biomes or in caves, hiding from piglin armies.

The mucaigeinu continued to grow, especially the Gegetin Empire. It was during Avadhi-Qara on that the mucaigein princess Baborayna Goldhoof was born. She rose to the status of queen at the age of ten when both of her parents were killed by the second great Morteco outbreak. Baborayna led the empire with the guidance of her advisors and council.

Ten varsau after Baborayna was born, a piglin named Chorceus Deadsword was born to two farmers on the outskirts of Gegetin. He was one of thirteen children, though was on the older side. He was the stereotypical kind, loyal, and honest man with a skill and love for hunting as well as a surprising amount of strength even for a piglin of his muscular stature. It was a surprise to none that Chorceus opted to join the Gegetin military, which he succeeded in. During three-hundred years of service, Chorceus climbed the ranks of the military and was eventually named the queen's second-in-command.

It was during his thirteenth year of service that Chorceus was asked by Queen Baborayna to take his army through a strange portal her scientists had created to survey what was beyond. Chorceus agreed, taking his now infamous Thirteenth Legion into what is now known as the Nether dimension. He led a fifty year expedition through the Nether to properly survey it and returned with spoils of gold, striders, mushrooms, and everything else he and his men could find. It wasn't found out until later that Chorceus and his men killed thousands of elves during their visit either purposefully or through the spread of Overworld illness.

Sixty years after his success with the Nether Expedition, Chorceus had grown accustomed to hard battles and was bored of his work. He convinced the queen to allow him to go in search of the Mahina Stronghold, a folkloric dungeon containing a portal to another world. Chorceus and his legion went on to spend a year hunting down the stronghold. They did find it and entered the End, where Chorceus slayed Qara Geindija.

Twenty-six years after the death of Qara, Baborayna died of birth-madness along with her children. She had no living relatives, so it was Gegetin tradition that Chorceus was to choose the next queen of Gegetin. However, instead, he named himself the first reigning king of Gegetin. His legion, now an army, silenced any protests and his rule actually saw major improvements in the lives of Gegetin people, until Samudri sent a waterborne plague known as Annobotek as vengeance for Chorceus disrupting the proper traditions of Gegetin. In response, Chorceus began moving the Gegetin Empire to the Nether to flee the illness, where he had begun constructing colonies. Eventually, all of Gegetin was moved to the Nether, and Samudri broke all of their portals, trapping them there. The rest of the Overworld piglins died of Annobotek.

After saving his people from Samudri's wrath, Chorceus quickly colonized the majority of the Nether, enlisting members of his Thirteenth Legion to build new bastions and cities all around the Nether. Most of these cities were mining ones meant to collect netherite, a metal discovered to be more powerful than any Overworld metal, and succeeded in that goal. Over Chorceus' thirteen-hundred year rule, the Nether was stripped of almost all of its netherite, which was used to outfit the king and his army.

During his reign, Chorceus grew even more hungry for power, destroying the Nether's natural ecosystems in search for netherite and also ghast tears, which he believed would make him immortal due to their regenerative properties. Ghasts were nearly hunted to extinction, and striders were domesticated and bred to be mounts to traverse the lava oceans taking up the majority of the Nether. Gold also became a valuable resource in the Nether, being used as Gegetin currency as well as a commoner's substitute for netherite. Tawil were used as slaves to build the great cities of the Nether Gegetin kingdom and were treated similar to objects. During this period, Chorceus killed and enslaved as many elves as he could believing them to be simple beasts instead of people. In a similar vicious fashion, anyone who disobeyed Chorceus would be beheaded with his own netherite axe and their skulls would be gilded and inlaid in his throne. He even managed to imprison Kehena, the sole goddess of the Nether, and chained her in a netherite prison beneath his own palace, drinking her tears to increase his lifespan.

After seeing how ruthless Chorceus had become, his second hand, Proditione Sharptusk, took it upon himself to stop him before he became too powerful. Without any sort of god to stop him, Proditione was the only one who could. He allied himself with Viveka, one of the very few Tawilu that still had the capability of rational thought, and used the Tawilu to help take Alani, which was now the Gegetin capital. During the Tawilian Siege on Alani, which took place during the Taleyian Period, Proditione chased Chorceus to a cliff outside of Alani and stabbed him, withdrawing and then allowing him to fall into the lava below. After being killed by Proditione, Chorceus rose from the lava as a vengeful spirit powered purely by anger and lurked around the Nether as Proditione chose Nalam Wireback as the new queen of Gegetin. He managed to possess one of Nalam's advisors, Thulo Redruff, and used his body to regain his strength further. He soon transformed into a powerful demigod-like figure and slaughtered all of the residents of the Alani Bastion, including Proditione. He beheaded Proditione and wore his head on his belt. After killing them, Chorceus killed Kehana, absorbing her power, eating her soul, and becoming a true god. He used his newfound abilities to destroy all piglin settlements in the Nether as revenge for his death, as well as destroying most of the netherite they had collected to prevent them from becoming so powerful ever again. He remains the sole god of the Nether. While he was acknowledged as a god, no gods wanted him in their group and he did not want to be in any group, making him the only Outcast (or Murderer) god.

Eighty years after Chorceus' death, the tawilu summoned another dragon, Circirama Vreydija, starting the next avadhi.

**Avadhi-Circirama**

With piglins trapped in the Nether, humans began to rise as the next dominant race of sentemau. They were short lived, but innovative and determined, catching the attention of many of the gods, especially the Bairn. Two major empires arose in the ruins of piglin settlements—the Ingat Kingdom and the Vredin Republic. The former was constructed similarly to Gegetin society, though patriarchal instead of matriarchal. Vredin, however, became a democratic society led by a group of three individuals with power over the nation. Each leader, called a consul, oversees one of three areas of the nation—personal, economical, and extranational.

It was during the reigns of these two nations that a small faction of enchanters and druids separated from the other settlements to retreat into the roofed forests and practiced nature magics that caused them to gain animalistic characteristics, becoming the ancestors of iring. The iring were viewed as heathen by the human empires and were often forced out of major settlements.

The islands of Tudi-Mare-Gin Sutudoan were discovered by the Vredin. These islands were homes to small tribes of iring, but many were killed by Vredin settlers. However, it is believed an iring shaman brought down a curse upon the island to force the settlers to leave, however this curse is believed to remain to this day. Vredinians now use the islands as places of exile for prisoners.
