Flight's In-Game Timeline

Freedom's Flight's Chapter timeline

## [Chapter 2]

The Talori government built Torrine, a heavily-guarded city in a Blessing-proof bubble, where many pegasi were moved 'for their own safety'. It was a large prison, but a prison nonetheless, and it enraged the Flight into action. The Flight broke into the prison city, seeking allies and freeing as many of the imprisoned pegasi as they could. The Flight prepared for their great counterattack, timed with the next Sacrifice.

## [Chapter 3]

When the Solstice Sacrifice arrived, the Flight's response was brutal, and immediate. The invasion of Inaria, led by the Flight's Strikers armed with bombs, happened more quickly and more efficiently than the Talori could understand, more than the Flight could have hoped. The prisoners of Torrine were freed, and urged to join the Flight. Talori's Defender Thaumas was killed during the attack, and while the Emperor escaped, the remaining leadership were taken prisoner. Like many of the non-pegasus citizens of Inaria, they were moved to Torrine, held captive in the jail they'd built. Aquore, especially its capital Inaria, was under total Flight control.

## [Chapter 4]

With supplies stretched thin and an empire weakened by their efforts, the Flight barely held Aquore in its shaky grasp. Amid the turmoil, a member of the Flock took revenge on the Talori into her own hands; climbing the cliffs that had claimed so many Pegasus lives, the harbinger Jun offered the Emperor's daughter Bethel to the sea in a bloody sacrifice. The event tore the Flight in two -- one side believed Jun should be punished, maybe exiled for her crime, while the other saw the action as justifiable vengeance. As prisoner uprisings broke out among the Talori citizens in Torrine, the Flight met to hold a trial. After the fate of Jun was argued, the Primary Perseus decided that she would go unpunished; the Flight could not be seen as divided.

## [Chapter 5]

The Talori leadership that had fled across the sea to Sedo returned to their stolen capital city, and they brought the support of a Seroran army. What followed was the Battle of Inaria, a bloody conflict for control over Aquore that claimed numerous lives from both sides. The Striker squadron faced off against enraged Talori Guardians in the deadliest skirmish in the battle, and almost every Striker life was lost. The Striker commander and the few surviving members of the squadron were able to corner and kill Emperor Hawkeye near the battle's end, but were then captured by Talori forces. The Sentinels fought the Seroran Furies, but eventually halted the battle as the Serorans learned the truth of the solstice sacrifices.

The Flight buckled under eventual defeat, but the Serorans -- who had come to Aquore as allies of the Talori -- were shaken by the story of the public murders of pegasi. The sultan Baram renegotiated the terms of their alliance, demanding the end of the Sacrifices, and taking the prisoners of the Battle of Inaria back to Sedo. Many members of the Flight chose to abandon their cause and their homeland to join the Seroran herd. The Strikers were taken to Sedo in chains.

Perseus, content in the knowledge that the Sacrifices were over, resigned his post as Primary and began to slowly disband the flight. Their numbers were severely reduced by the losses in the battle and the mass exodus to Serora, and it seemed like the Freedom's Flight might have been gone for good. It was then that Antiope, along with new recruits and other Flight prisoners, returned from their captivity in Sedo. Antiope took Perseus's place as Primary, and began efforts to revitalize the Flight.

## [Chapter 6]

Just as the Talori began to believe the threat of the Freedom's Flight was gone, they reappeared in grand fashion. The new Flight leadership appeared during the inauguration ceremony of Aquore's new Defender, appearing onstage to splash blood on the Talori leadership and demonstrate that the war for pegasus equality was far from over. To regain their strength, the Flight also reached out to the Rogues of Aquore's Isles of the Dead, building a friendship that would help empower both factions against the Talori.

## [Chapter 7]

The Flight meets again with the crews allied to them, and together they set off on a sea journey to establish a new outpost. This outpost will serve dual purposes of trade, and strengthening the relationship between the two factions. After discussions Wanderer’s Way is chosen as an outpost location.

Another Flight party is on their own high-stakes mission: They’ve traveled to Breim to reaffirm and revitalize the trade agreement they had once secured with them. The negotiations are a success, allowing Flight to begin independent trade with the kin through an underground river system. An outpost is established in the town of Cresa to facilitate trade and, hopefully, friendship.

Back home the Flight makes preparations in their underground port, while some members join the rogues in harvesting materials for the Wanderer’s Way outpost.

Some time after the events of the chapter, Primary Antiope resigns her position, and **Primary Pel** becomes her successor, appointing a third commander to take charge of the now vital trade and ship routes.

## [Chapter 8]

The Flight is in full gear with their preparations, and with King Morian aligning the whole Alliance with their cause, they head out to new lands to seek yet more allies. In both Aodh and Serora, they negotiate trade and exchange of ambassadors. Their machinations allow the Flight and Rogues to fill the hole left by the Talori being locked out of global trade.

Back on the Isles, some Flight members discover a strange instrument that seems to hold magnificent and mysterious powers. It is presented to the Primary upon his return from Eithne.

## [Chapter 9]

Preparations continue, but at the same time, the Flight does not want the Talori to forget their presence. A group of Flight have been sent by their Primary to cause a disruption during the Empress' visit to an outlying village - but as they discover that it is not the Empress at all, they instead instigate an argument, causing panic and heated argument. Violence is avoided, and the Flight retreats, their victory achieved.

Meanwhile, the Flight's primary together with a few trusted members investigate the Labyrinth. Despite difficulties on the route, they manage to make it through, confirming this as a potential route for infiltration of the capital.

Back near the Aerie, a group on a foraging mission comes across a lone hippocampus terrorized by a strange alligator. Placating the beast awakens a strange shrine, and a mysterious voice thanks them for their help. The hippocampus joins them on the way back to the Aerie.
