Timeline

This is the **Timeline** of all major events in the Dreams Quest Universe, and catalogs the world from the beginnings of creation and the emergence of Weka through ‘the Discord’ (the first great war), to ‘the age of Unity’ (a period of harmony and resonance), to the cataclysmic ‘Inclision event’ (the disruption of harmony, time and space) which has had disastrous consequences to the realms.

## Weka & Azoria

At the beginning of time there was Weka - a primordial energy moved by matter and sound. It arrived in waves across the silent, unbounded spaces of the universe, permeated the cosmos, and created order. It enabled the life-giving cycles of nature, animating all that lived and grew from within.

Weka is a formless and timeless life force and energy that both moves, and is moved, by matter and sound. It is perfect and eternal. It creates and maintains a balance of all that is, was and will be. Weka flows with the embodiment of all that it creates and exists.

Weka descended upon a once barren Azoria expanded across what would become the realms. As Weka continued to manifest itself into the realms, it provided the earliest form of energy that assumes a tactile form leading to the creation of the Ancients, the first inhabitants within the realms along with a mysterious sixth race that resides outside of time and space. The emergence of the earliest form of language, Eshawa, also appeared which enabled all races to communicate.

Those who can not grasp or understand the power of weka often confuse it with “magic”, “divinity”, or even “science”.

## Ancients: The Five Races

As the Ancients first manifested and arrived, they were distributed across the vast realms, with little to no contact with one another, but all with an interest to understand Azoria, the center point of where Weka is known to arrive. In the beginning, the five groups of ancients remained isolated, largely unaware of one another at first, and generally kept to themselves such that each developed different ways of living and developed different value systems and beliefs.

The world, during the earliest stages of Weka, was a timeless space, leaving each of the Ancients and everything surrounding them also living in a timeless environment in a moment in space. While other beings, creatures, flora, fauna and life began to also flourish within the realms, the highest forms of life within the eight realms remained the Ancients.

All Ancients learned a variety of ways to interact with Weka. They understood that everything living or part of something living was a manifestation of the life force energy of Weka. They called this Organic Matter. They discovered the connections between Organic Matter that enabled them to create Elements; and they learned how to infuse these Elements into Crystals, giving the Ancients a greater understanding of the connection between Weka and all living matter that exists within the realms.

The Five Ancient Races in the Realms :

* **Melat’v’dia**: a race who have mastered the Elements, operate in harmony, and adhere to a strict way of life when it comes to researching the relationship and balance between Weka, Organic Matter, Elements and harmony. Cima, co-leader during the time of Unity, is a member of this race.
* **Dragons**: a highly elusive race who naturally resonate in a state which vibrates with the crystals, and naturally enhances them throughout the realms. Arvid, co-leader during the time of Unity, is a member of this race.
* **Arythmea**: a race who have documented many of the realms’ greatest discoveries. They are historians, scholars, who focus on knowledge, and passing this down to future generations. The Arythmea are frequently found in their great gardens where they harvest, grow and learn about the relationship between energy, time, space, life and weka.
* **Reok**: surveyors and protectors of the trees and nature. They are gentle beings who live primarily in the forests. They are an illusive race who are not easily found, and prefer to remain hidden, but are great guides for those who can gain their trust.
* **Elestria**: a spiritual order who believe their interaction with weka is sacred. They often serve as guides and masters to those who are deemed to be worthy and who can reach higher states through consciousness, vibration and through meditation.

## Eshawa: The Language and its Origins

From the earliest encounters of the Ancients, there also existed the first proto-language called ‘Eshawa’, which later evolved and developed amongst the races. Despite age-old differences in culture, belief systems and ways of life, all beings can communicate through this universal language called Eshawa.

It is unknown how this language came to be, and how it is that all races are able to communicate and understand each other. But over time, the language has naturally evolved to enable trade, belief systems and society to evolve. Those who learn the language are also believed to have become masters of Weka, or are wielding a form of magic or pseudo-science that is both powerful and frightening to those who do not understand it.

## La'Huna and the Temple of Enos

The following is based on rumours, lore and stories amongst the living inhabitants of the realms.

La'Huna are believed to be a unique sixth race of Ancients, far more advanced than any other race. Where they originally came from is not fully understood as they are able to both see and traverse other ‘DreamsVerses’, realms and worlds, unlike any other beings. It is widely believed that La'Huna were specifically born from the fabric of Weka.

They have a universal understanding of multiple forms of time, space, and language, which makes their relationship with Weka unique. They are the only race of Ancients with these powers and are believed to be recording all of the events occurring around us. They have the power to enter our dreams when we sleep, and record our experiences, life lessons, and all that has, and will occur in the sacred Temple of Enos.

La'Huna are the guardians of both the Temple of Enos as well as a mysterious crystal called the Harmony Crystal (held in an encasement on a dais inside the temple). La'Huna can only be found at the Temple, and remain apart from the other Ancients, although they have interacted with all of the five races. Unlike the Ancients, they live in a completely different construct of space and time, and operate in multi-verses of past, present and future all at once, making it difficult to fully understand them. However, they are benign and well intentioned, and can serve as a guide to those with a high enough level of consciousness to gain their trust and confidence.

The Temple of Enos is believed to have been built by La'Huna so far back in time that as far as anyone can recall, the Temple has always been there. The Temple resides outside of time. Rumours still exist of a time when the ancients would visit the Temple of Enos to preserve and safeguard all knowledge, including the learnings of the ancient tongue of Eshawa, memories of events, ways to interact and use Weka, and the ways one could develop their own consciousness through their action and interactions with Weka. It is still widely believed that the Temple of Enos was once energetically tethered to Azoria, but lost its connection after the Inclision event which disrupted the fabric of space and time.

No one in living memory in Azoria has actually visited the Temple. Over time, its very existence has become shrouded in mystery and legend. Was it destroyed? Is it still out there, somewhere? Can a player actually find and visit this mysterious place? There are rumours about going there through various portals across the realms, but little of this is now understood in the current timeline of events.

## First Encounters and the Council of Ancients

### The Beginning

Thousands of years have passed (theoretically speaking as the world remains timeless) between the appearance of Weka on Azoria and the time in which the five races of Ancients first met one another. It was a period of calm and yet confusing for all, as newly developing races, they were trying to ascertain when and where they are, who they are, and how all came to be. This was a period of both confusion and enlightenment, and it was the language of Eshawa which bonded them all together in the earliest times. Each of the races began to realise, learn and understand the many ways that Weka has influence over Organic Matter and Elements. There were many discoveries during this early period of time.

### Defined Cultures: Early Differences Pursuing Knowledge of Weka

Each of the five races of Ancients had developed their own belief systems, traditions, and ways of living; some were purely devoted to Weka and intertwined their lives with a spiritual focus while others became educators capturing knowledge and learnings to develop and evolve society. Some became more spiritual in nature through meditation and connection to learn how to connect with the Upper Stream, and to travel the realms outside of their bodies, while others pursued alternative forms of knowledge through more scientific studies and research to expand their knowledge of Weka and its interaction with Organic Matter and Elements. Some simply chose to connect to the world in a more harmonious way, recognising that their own vibration or resonance itself interacted with Weka; through this they learned to expand, grow and develop themselves.

### The Council of Ancients

Over a period, the five races recognised that with further interactions, there could be potential misunderstandings or conflicts as it related to learning how to interact with, use and potentially manipulate Weka. As a result, they recognised the potential dangers misusing Weka could bring, and formed the Council of Ancients,an elected group of ancients from each race who came together to define the governance and proper use of Weka.

The council set out to unite all of the races together with a common set of rules, structures, and laws for which all citizens across all of the realms could follow. These ‘rules of alignment’ were created to ensure that the order of harmony and stability would naturally follow the natural laws of Weka, encouraging time and space to remain stable. They also recognised the potential disruption to life that could occur if Weka, Time or Space was altered, modified, or changed not in accordance with ‘natural law’.

The council saw this bonding of the races as an opportunity to increase trade, collaboration, and sharing of knowledge and belief systems, as well as an opportunity to help each other discover the many secrets that remained undiscovered in their world in a positive and enlightened way through guidance, meditation and common philosophical beliefs.

## Discord: The First Great War

Unfortunately, over time, friction arose between the races over their different values and ways of life. This led to the disturbance known as ‘the Discord’, a period of new and previously unimagined forms of conflict between the races, which consequently resulted in the creation of new and previously unimagined weapons. Peace between all was quickly corrupted, with races dispelling one another from various forms of cohabitation, research, discovery, and religious orders, disrupting the very nature of an enlightened society who were once living in bliss.

Little is really understood about what actually happened during this time - only that mysterious events created a crack in the heart of the world, and disrupted the ebb and flow of Weka, a sombre warning of what was at stake, and what might be lost.

## Unity: The Reunification through Dragons & Melat'v'dia

### Restoring the World Before it's too Late

The Council of Ancients had been trying to restore the world to a state of harmony. The disruption in Weka, time and space itself, through the fracture in the Harmony crystal alarmed people and required the Council to reunite the great races.

The Council took action, with the hopes of restoring the world to a state of Unity. They determined that they needed a natural leader or leaders who would have the strength, conviction, and ability to reunite everyone, and be seen as charismatic leaders who could be trusted regardless of their race. The Council determined that Cima, a leader within the Melat'v'dia, had such talents and asked her to rise up and represent all of the races. However, even amongst the Council, there were some who dissented to a single person leading them through this period of darkness. It was determined that Arvid of the Dragons should serve as co-leader, providing the needed balance between the two races who themselves were often pursuing knowledge and balance in different yet complementary ways.

The Council of Ancients unanimously agreed to this solution, tasking Cima and Arvid to lead together, and to establish peace and harmony among the Ancients and all of the other races. Cima and Arvid accepted this great role,and joined together with the aim of ushering in a new era that would eventually be referred to as ‘the Unity’.

### The Effort to Redefine Society

During the previous time of Harmony, Cima and Arvid had observed that many had aligned themselves to some specific but different ways of living. Some may have called this religion or science or culture, but Cima and Arvid determined that these were more like societies with different forms of beliefs, ideas and constructs that were equally valid and needed to be encouraged in a way to re-unite disparate groups and philosophies.

In an effort to restore this Harmony, Cima and Arvid oversaw the creation of Totemic Societies, each with its foundations deeply rooted in specific belief structures that resonated with the races, and gave them a way to align to their deepest beliefs regardless of other barriers or issues facing the realms. These Totemic Societies reduced the factionalism that had divided the five races, and encouraged each individual, regardless of race, to pursue their own interests and personal belief systems.

### Creation of Totemic Societies

The Totemic Societies represented a new form of hope. In the earliest stages, these societies each understood what was at stake and acted as a form of peace-keeping to ensure that there was a form of stability. These societies were each a mixt of all races, thereby creating a cross-pollination of races that were aligned to belief systems that allowed them to reconnect with the world and Weka and each other.

Most importantly, it was understood that things could not go back to the way they were during the era of Discord. The races could no longer be separate and independent of one another. Naturally for Cima and Arvid, the question was how would they ensure everyone could co-exist together to ensure everlasting peace? The answer was simple: Anyone could become a member of any society. This would allow a freeflow and exchange of ideas, learnings, culture, trade. Most importantly, it would enable everyone the opportunity to reconnect back to the times of Harmony and peace.

Their efforts to create totemic societies and unite everyone in peace also required one further step - an energetic connection so great that no one would risk destroying a world of such beauty, harmony and brilliance.

### Fortification of the Harmony Crystal

Cima and Arvid are rumoured to have convened a special meeting with La'Huna in which they requested that the Harmony crystal be reinforced with energy that would resonate with the races and the energy of Weka in perfect harmony. Their goal was to ensure that the realms would remain in a state of harmonic resonance intertwined with Weka, ensuring that everyone would be able to continue to expand their knowledge, develop their spiritual growth, and expand their vibration and consciousness to higher and higher levels of connection. Ultimately they could reach sufficient ability and consciousness to reach the Upper Stream.

The ‘re-infusion’ of harmony and resonance created a world where, despite differences in points of view or ways of life, everyone was now in perfect alignment and balance, and the beautiful fragility of life on Azoria and the other realms was now preserved.

The Harmony crystal is rumoured to have been encased into a structure in the Temple of Enos and forever protected by La'Huna.

### The Unity: A Time of Peace

Cima and Arvid created a time of great harmony, peace, prosperity, and the rapid expansion of knowledge, innovation and inspired creation. Many learned to work with Weka using the Organic Matter that surrounded the realms. They identified 17 Elements, after which no further Elements were discovered. They learned how to create Elements which could be infused into empty crystals leading to a more vibrant and developed society. The world expanded through healing, music, magic and science

A greater understanding of the language, Eshawa, led to new volumes of information that were catalogued and shared amongst all the races, leading to a great era of spirituality, expression and expansion of language.

As the realms expanded, so, too, did some of the experimentation and scientific research - a foreboding of something which could lead to another fateful event. In order to prevent this, Cima and Arvid presented a further set of very specific rules governing how to experiment with Weka to gain knowledge, and to define what is also in violation of natural law.

## Inclision Event: A Disruption in Harmony

Unfortunately many who felt that the rules of Weka experimentation were simply too limiting, decided to pursue their own interests beyond that of anyone else, for personal gain and at a great cost to others.They didn't understand the imbalance that could be created through experimentation, and simply refused to follow the natural laws and rules created by Cima and Arvid.

Unbeknownst to anyone, one particular member of the Melat’v’dia began experimenting with Weka, and playing with the primordial energy that crossed all known boundaries and laws. They became obsessed with knowledge and greed to know more and to have more - more knowledge, more control over Weka, and more abilities than any one being should. In conducting this forbidden research, secretly and covertly, their actions caused an energetic explosion and disruption so large that the Harmony crystal fractured and exploded sending shards flying across the realms…lost to time and space.

The disruption was so severe that an energetic discharge created a shockwave across the realms. Forms of energy were streaming across the skies and onto the ground, leaving all in a sense of confusion. The world had gone from a beautiful and melodic world to one in chaos and disarray.

This was ‘the Inclision event’.

## Azoria Settles: A New World Evolves

### The Aftermath

In the moments that followed the Inclision event, time and space were suddenly distorted and the realms were thrown out of space and time.

It is unclear what happened to the Council of Ancients and more importantly to Cima and Arvid who have not been seen since.

Everything that was is no longer. Time and space are confused. Some things seem out of phase, moving forwards or moving backwards.

After the Inclision event, new forms of life emerged that had never been seen before.

The Temple of Enos is nothing more than a rumour. The Upper Streams flow steadily but can't be reached. Portals that once worked no longer function.

Totemic Societies remain, but there are those opposing them. There are factions who are a threat to the realms and must be reunited if harmony is to be restored.

The knowledge of Organic Matter and Elements has been forgotten in a world gone mad, lost in distortion of energy and resonance, disrupting the very essence of being.

The Harmony crystal has been shattered, broken into shards dispersed across the realms. They are lost, hidden, or protected until they can once again be united.

The world needs you now more than ever before, to heal the wounds, to unlock the language of Eshawa, to unlock the mysteries and secrets of the long forgotten temple and to discover how to return the world to Harmony.
