Complete Timeline

This page is for summaries of all events before, concurrently, and after the Roleplay, in strict chronological order. Large, detailed summaries of each event should be written on the event's own page, not here (with the exception of some complex events that require additional explanation). Alternate timelines should be compiled on this page.

Note: Since the Roleplay is ongoing, and its events take place over an unknown amount of time, the Roleplay itself is treated as "year zero" on the timeline, with the After Roleplay period beginning after *everything* that happened, or will happen, in the RP.

# Timeline of Chima History

## The Era of Genesis: 2,000,000—1,000 Years BR (Before Roleplay)

### 2,000,000—1,021 BR

* The material planet Chima, and its immaterial neighbor, the Chi Ghost Realm, are created by twelve Dragons from this dimension’s equivalent to the Realm of the Oni and Dragons (this dimension is known to be separate from the Sixteen Realms, but shares many similarities with that multiverse).

* The Dragons, under their self-proclaimed leader, Decemar, create the Phoenix from the local sun to be the perpetually reincarnating guardians of the planet; then primitive, but with an ingrained instinct to protect life; at the same time the Dragons create the Phoenix, the land north of the Iron Mountains becomes eternally cold even without the Gods' input, to maintain the natural balance of Fire and Ice.

* Over multiple millennia, the Dragons experiment with cell combinations, eventually creating the final versions of many primitive species: Lions, Leopards, Tigers, Peacocks, Sabertooth Tigers, Crocodiles, Vultures, Mammoths, Eagles, Spiders, Skunks, Scorpions, Gorillas, Rhinos, Foxes, Beavers, Wolves, Ravens, Bears, Bats, Burrowing Owls, Frigatebirds, Sharks, Fish, Chickens, Insects, and Manta and Sting Rays.

* The phoenix Fal'qar, Farak, and Faerin are all born in 1,023 BR.

* Lyron the lion is born in 1,021 BR.

### 1,020—1,000 BR

* Tenebrae the tiger is born.

* The First Great Illumination occurs twenty years later, as the Dragon Gods have decided to grant the animals sapience; as they leave the physical realm for the sake of Chima’s people having free will, they disperse their powers into water, and the "chi" pours from holes in Mount Cavora; almost all species drink it and are evolved (Fish and Chickens having been made incapable of evolution, so that they'd serve as food for the carnivorous species), but during this time, one of the Dragons, Octavius, has a vision about the Rays, Sharks, Bats, Scorpions and Spiders creating factions that are too powerful if left unchecked, risking a Chima ruled by an empire; because of this, Octavius relocates the aquatic species far from Cavora's continent (which comes to be known simply as Chima by its people), and creates The Gorge of Eternal Depth, to serve as a natural confinement-habitat hybrid for the Bats and arachnids; with these actions, he ironically creates a self-fulfilling prophecy; the Great Earthquake (a phenomenon Octavius uses to further justify the Gorge to his fellow Dragons) also causes Black Mountain to break from the Outland Mountains, and soil spilled from beneath the mountain creates the Outland jungles to the east; sources of chi are also created on several islands, and the western continent where the Burrowing Owls and Rays dwell, unaware of the existence of other species.

* Another of the Dragons, Febuar, secretly remains in Chima, taking on the form of a phoenix and becoming the tribe's first Emperor; he disperses and solidifies most of his powers, creating the nine Fire Wing Harnesses for the purpose of resetting the universe, which only the Phoenix are aware of; with the assistance of the Phoenix, he also creates fire chi, and later the Fire Trials to allow other species to earn it.

* The Dragons had ingrained their language within the DNA of every living being on the planet, so that all automatically know what to speak upon evolving; this prevents language barriers at the start of civilization, which the Dragons view as a would-be obstacle; the shared language doesn't, however, prevent Chima's tribes from inevitably being organized by species in the beginning; additionally, some tribes, such as the Gorillas, still create their own languages.

* The Phoenix build their city on an island chain in The West Sea, also using their powers to levitate the central islands for a protective view of the mainland.

* The Lions claim the land at the foot of (and on) Mount Cavora, and build their city there.

## The Period of Early Conflict: 999-992 BR

### 999—996 BR

* Tenebrae takes over the newly established Tiger Tribe, claiming the title of Emperor.

* The Lion Tribe and other tribes begin to establish monarchies and territories with relative civility, and, as the Lions distribute chi, the tribes create primitive chi-powered vehicles, the first of which being simple but fast cycles with stone wheels carved from Cavora, dubbed "speedorz".

* The Lion Guard is formed by Lyron and the first Lion King in 997 BR; soon after, the Peacocks and Lions, two of the first tribes to form militias, engage in talks, and become Chima's First Alliance.

* Envious of the Lions' territory claim, and worried that it'll give them a monopoly over the chi, Tenebrae readies the Tiger Tribe in 996 BR for Chima's first conflict, in order to seize the land from the Lions.

### 995—992 BR

* Tenebrae attacks the Lion City, starting the Tiger—Lion War.

* In response, Lyron reforms the Lion Guard into a Lion Army by training hundreds more in combat.

* Tenebrae has the Tigers dig what are later known as Chima's Ancient Tunnels over the course of the war.

* The Peacocks, fighting with the Lions, are weakened by the Tigers during the war, their headquarters already being destroyed.

* Tigers create a rebellion in 993 BR to end Tenebrae's reign; with the help of the Lions and Peacocks, the Tigers overthrow the Emperor and establish a monarchy in 992 BR, ending the Tiger—Lion War; Tenebrae escapes capture and becomes a nomad.

* The Lions move their city off of Cavora itself, as per the terms of the treaty with the Tigers.

## The First Great Peace: 991—827 BR

### 991—984 BR

* The Tigers earn fire chi from the Phoenix, deciding to make it their power source as an alternative to chi, and ally with the Phoenix, forming the Fire Tribes; Phoenix Emperor Febuar uses the last of his Dragon powers to grant the new Tiger King, and all members of his bloodline, extremely long lifespans akin to the Dragons and Phoenix.

* Within the Phoenix Tribe, however, a moral debate begins regarding the universe-resetting powers of the Fire Wing Harnesses; eventually, three phoenix (Fal'qar, "Zarak", and Faerin) try, and fail, to destroy the Harnesses, and flee from their tribe, forming the secret Phoenix Triumvirate; they find Tenebrae, and he joins their cause to perpetually stop a complete Great Illumination from ever occurring; Faerin figures out how to keep the Phoenix' memories of previous lives intact upon reincarnation, and Zarak shows Tenebrae how to create a hommonculus body (which the Phoenix are unable to make for themselves); Tenebrae transfers his soul into a new body, and blends in with the Sabertooth Tigers, still bitter at his own tribe.

* In late 991 BR, the Peacocks recede from their alliance with the Lions, who'd been unable to give the nomad surviving Peacocks shelter in their already crowded city; their position as an ally to the Lions is soon replaced by the Eagles, who explain that they'd only been neutral earlier for the sake of writing an unbiased account of the war.

* Though there is peace on the eastern continent of Chima, a war for territory begins on the western continent between the Burrowing Owls and Rays; following a ten-year peace after their evolution, tensions boil over when the Rays desire to live on land, and to gain more control over the previously Owl-controlled chi spring on the surface; the Rays nearly destroy the Burrowing Owl Kingdom by the end of the war, and King Horion leads the survivors to the mountainous island where the Frigatebirds dwell.

* Following the end of the war in 985 BR, the Rays' leaders retroactively declare their tribe the Manta Ray Empire, and name the western continent Forneus, while the Frigatebirds and Burrowing Owls merge into one tribe under Horion; they are led by the Horiontal Dynasty for a decade, during which the Burrowing Owls' population grows, eventually becoming equal to the Frigatebirds in size.

* Lyron and his wife have their twin sons in 984 BR, beginning a long-running bloodline.

### 983—959 BR

* In 980 BR, Faerin assassinates Phoenix Emperor Febuar, and his soul goes to an unknown location; the Phoenix Senate executes Faerin and elects a new Emperor.

* Febuar, however, leaves behind a scripture that contains the names of every Dragon: Januar, Febuar, Marh, Apri, Mae, J'une, J'ulii, Augustus, Septembris, Octavius, Novem and Decemar; the people of Chima name the months of their calendar after the Dragons, who they deduce are some sort of important ancient figures, when the tribes agree to create a unified calendar in 978 BR.

* Despite Horion and the Ray Emperor having agreed to a mutual peace, Horion's son, King Hanis, immediately goes to war with the Empire after taking the throne in 975 BR; a frigatebird named Frinius is chosen by the people to replace Hanis soon after, in order to end the Horiontal-MRE War, beginning the Frinian Dynasty; despite this brief war being "over", both it and the earlier Owl-Ray War are later considered to be the start of a centuries-long series of on-and-off conflicts between the Empire and western birds, known collectively as the Imperial Cold War; due to both factions having strategically located and difficult to penetrate headquarters', the war is mostly fought on various unclaimed islands, with both sides using guerrilla tactics, making many mock peace treaties over the years while continuing to fight with proxy armies, and entering several eras of genuine peace only for tensions to boil over, resuming the hostilities; because of these circumstances, the Imperial Cold War lasts for hundreds of years.

* Frinius' son, Prince Felix, is born in 974 BR.

* In 959 BR, Lyanor, one of Lyron's twin sons, co-leads an expedition by the Lion and Eagle alliance to the West Sea; the expedition force's primitive airship crashes on an island in the middle of the ocean after a storm, and, with no way to contact Chima or escape the island, the members of the large expedition force make the island (which has a chi source of its own) their home; Lyanor and the female leader of the Eagles' side of the expedition naturally become the "Chieftains" of the colony.

### 958—827 BR

* Breeding between the two species on the island over the course of the ensuing century results in the creation of the Gryphon Tribe, with the "pure-blood" Lions and Eagles eventually dying out.

* During that century, the inland civilizations grow on the eastern continent of Chima, while the Manta Ray Empire grows on the western continent of Forneus, beginning to expand their reach to nearby islands; due to their now uncontested status as the sole inhabitants of Forneus, the Rays' population grows much larger than that of the average tribe; the Empire ignores the Owl-Frigatebird Kingdom, allowing it to exist as long as the mutual peace is kept up, but not maintaining contact; the Empire, no longer seeing their former enemies as a threat, eventually ceases surveillance as well, causing them to not see the happenings in the Owl-Frigatebird Kingdom through the 956-855 BR period.

* In 956 BR, when the Lion-Eagle expedition doesn't return or send messengers, a group of Eagles, Lions, and Tigers break off from their tribes, the former two frustrated at their kings for not searching for the missing expedition; the group's ship crashes on a different island, where, a few months later, they meet Prince Felix; after the group saves Felix, who himself had crashed ashore, the Prince takes them to the Owl-Frigatebird Kingdom; as thanks for rescuing Felix, an Advisory Council consisting only of the Eagles is founded by order of Frinius, while the felines are granted prominent military positions.

* Following this, the island that the group had crashed on (along with two others) is absorbed into the Owl-Frigatebird Kingdom, which renames itself as The Colony; due to their disillusion with their home tribes, the Eagles, Lions and Tigers refuse to keep records of Chima's history, and knowledge of the eastern continent's existence is eventually lost from the collective memory of the Colony's people; additionally, breeding between the Lions and Tigers in the multi-species tribe results in a new species, the Ligers; unlike in the case of the Gryphons, the Lions and Tigers in the Colony don't die out.

* Felix's son, Frinius II, is born in 925 BR.

* King Frinius II goes to war with the Manta Ray Empire late in his life, at the age of 70, in 855 BR; by then, over a century has passed since the first generation of Colony Eagles, Lions and Tigers joined the faction, and the knowledge of their ancestral homeland has faded, so upon encountering these species for the first time, the Rays (as well as the denizens of the Colony themselves) assume that they were always island natives like the Frigatebirds; this prevents the Rays from learning about Chima's existence through interrogation; the First Frinian-MRE War fizzles out by 827 BR (after which the Rays resume their exploration of the sea), and there is peace between the Empire and Colony from then until 817 BR; however, due to it being conflated with the Second Frinian-MRE War, and them both being part of the Imperial Cold War, historians often refer to the First Frinian-MRE War as having lasted for 50 years.

* Lynne, the great-great-granddaughter of Lyanor's brother, is born in Lion City in 845 BR; by then, the alliance between the Lion and Eagle tribes has dissolved, as the Eagles didn't see visible benefits from the relationship.

* Galvanor Anzu, a descendant of Lyanor, and son of Gryphon Chieftain Grynix, is born on Gryphon Island in 839 BR, 120 years after the Lion and Eagle expedition was marooned on the island.

## The Confederation Era: 826—780 BR

### 826—824 BR

* In 826 BR, the Manta Ray Empire discovers the Gryphon Tribe during their voyages; an unintentionally hostile first contact results in the death of a gryphon, so Grynix, in accordance with his philosophy, has the ray who killed the gryphon hunted down and killed himself, spurring the Manta Ray Empire to launch an all-out attack on Gryphon Island; Grynix orders the Gryphons to fight and never surrender, leading to the tribe's destruction through the Rays' overwhelming force and technological advantage; Galvanor alone escapes, managing to make it past the constant storms surrounding the island using a stolen Imperial aircraft; it crashes in the sea near the eastern continent, and a fatigued and amnesiac Galvanor washes up on Chima's shores, where he's found and adopted by the Eagle King.

* In 824 BR, the current incarnations of the Phoenix Triumvirate regroup, and Faerin makes a move to take over the Phoenix Tribe, despite her allies urging her not to; she manages to convince some Phoenix of the forgotten truth about the Great Illumination, and a sizable portion of the tribe splits off, taking some of the Fire Wing Harnesses with them; unable to destroy the harnesses, Faerin begins building a heavily fortified city to the far north in the Arctic, intending to keep the Fire Wing Harnesses there perpetually, and has her Phoenix spread the word about the Great Illumination, hoping to gain more allies; the Peacock King, whose tribe had been reduced to a nomad group after the Tiger—Lion War, allies with Faerin to live in the Purple City, and the Eagle King also decides to ally with them, to keep the Fire Wing Harnesses locked up; the three factions form the Avian Triumvirate; the main Phoenix Tribe, not wanting to risk a civil war that would damage their tribe and its public image even more, elect to leave it be.

* Soon after, there begin to be earthquakes rising in magnitude, and the Leopards make the correlation that the earthquakes began after Faerin and her Phoenix moved to the Arctic; in a valley on the north-south border, leopard philosophers, historians, and scientists converge and analyze the phenomenon, becoming the first tribe to learn about the Elemental Balance; the Leopard King ventures to the Purple City to urge Faerin to leave the north, explaining that the presence of Phoenix there will eventually destroy the continent; Faerin refuses to leave without tangible evidence, and drives the Leopards away; the Leopards relate this information to Chima's other tribes, and the tribes that believe their claim, the Lions, Foxes, and Mammoths, ally with them, forming the Mammalian Confederation.

### 823—819 BR

* The Leopards and their allies, now having no choice but to forcefully drive Faerin out of the Arctic as the earthquakes slowly worsen, attack the Purple City after a few more failed negotiations, beginning the Avian Triumvirate—Mammalian Confederation War; despite the AT being the smaller faction, the MC isn't able to break through the defenses of the most technologically advanced city at the time, leading to a long stalemate in the war as the tribes fight small battles across the north and south; the Mammoths' Headquarters is destroyed in 821 BR, and the tribe retreats to regain their strength.

* In 820 BR, the AT regroups and launches a brutal surprise attack on the Foxes, who'd been weakened during the war; the Fox Headquarters at the time is destroyed, their leader slain, and the tribe is scattered; the Peacock King, angered at his tribe's former allies, the Lions, for not taking in his ancestors after the Tiger—Lion War, eventually suggests that the AT attack and conquer Lion City to gain a significant foothold in the south; the Avian Triumvirate, using all of its soldiers, actually manages to slay the Lion King and drive out the Lions, taking control of Lion City and Mount Cavora, and cutting off the chi supply to the Leopards and Mammoths.

* In early 819 BR, the other two Phoenix Triumvirate members (believing the Leopards regarding the Elemental Balance, and having Tenebrae/"Severen" infiltrate the Purple City to take the Fire Wing Harnesses) confront Faerin over her actions; however, Faerin, who's seemingly gone insane, turns on all her allies, killing the Peacock King, the Eagle King (but not before he helps Galvanor escape), and the current incarnations of Fal'qar and Zarak, before bringing her Phoenix under her direct control through a progenital form of hypnotism; the Peacock Tribe, at the Lion City in its entirety, is nearly wiped out by Faerin's Phoenix, and left scattered and leaderless, unaware that their king had an illegitimate son; the Eagles retreat back to their homeland, where they select a competent leader to falsely claim as the Eagle King's biological son, so as not to put the half-breed Galvanor on the throne.

* Field Marshal Lynne, temporarily leading the Lions in place of the very young prince, launches an assault to retake Lion City now that the AT has fallen apart; her campaign succeeds, and Faerin retreats back to the Purple City with her brainwashed Phoenix; Severen successfully escapes with the liberated Fire Wing Harnesses just before Galvanor arrives ahead of Faerin, planting explosives on the phoenix' airship to sabotage her planned voyage to the West Sea; the Leopards and Mammoths follow Faerin to the Purple City and attack even as she and a third of her army make it out on their airship; Galvanor's sabotage works, and Faerin's ship crashes somewhere in the northwest of the ocean; during the battle, Galvanor is caught in the crossfire as he tries to escape the city, but he falls beneath the Arctic waters, and is frozen instead of killed; the Leopards bomb and destroy the Purple City, eliminating the presence of Phoenix in the north, and ending the Avian Triumvirate—Mammalian Confederation War; this, however, drives a wedge between the Mammoths and Leopards, since the former had been planning to take over the Purple City to use as a new headquarters themselves [all memory of the events from 824 to 819 BR are later erased from the minds of Chima's inland dwellers by Leodus' spell, due to the involvement of the Mammoths, Leopards, and Phoenix].

### 818—813 BR

* The Mammalian Confederation, now comprised of only the Lions and Leopards, eventually becomes defunct during the 39 years of peace that follow, though not before one of Lynne's daughters meets and marries Leopard Prince Leo'dus as a result of the alliance; due to this, the Leopards' royal line becomes connected with Lyron's bloodline, though the lion DNA in the Leopard Kings becomes increasingly diluted as they continue marrying within their tribe.

* On the West Sea, meanwhile, Colony King Franis declares war on the Manta Ray Empire in 817 BR, after discovering Gryphon Island and learning what befell that tribe.

* Several years after the Avian Triumvirate—Mammalian Confederation War, in 815 BR, Acting Regent Lynne forms the Lion Knights, an elite sect of soldiers dedicated to the protection of all future Lion Kings.

### 812—780 BR

* Future Wolf General Wulfric is born in 812 BR.

* In 810 BR, Lynne, in an attempt to persuade the Mammoths to rejoin the not-yet dissolved Mammalian Confederation (and/or to gain the Sabertooth Tigers' allegiance), co-leads a joint expedition of Lion, Mammoth, and Sabertooth volunteers into the Northern Outland Mountains, to chart and colonize the previously untouched region; the Mammoths elect to build their new headquarters in the Outland Mountains to the southwest, however, and while the Northern Outland Mountains are charted and colonized by the Sabertooth and Lion volunteers, this group remains neutral, so Lynne returns without new allies.

* In 805 BR, Franis is killed in battle with the Manta Ray Empire, ending the Frinian Dynasty; Franis' nephew, Felix II, takes charge of the Colony following this, beginning the Felixian Dynasty; the Second Frinian-MRE War flows into what the Colony refers to as both the Felixian-MRE War and the Third Colony-MRE War, however it is at this point that the Empire's historians begin collectively referring to this war, those following it (and, retroactively, those prior to it) as the Imperial Cold War.

* Future Lion Diplomat Luggington is born in 802 BR.

* In an advent mirroring the creation of the Gryphon Tribe, breeding between the Sabertooths and Lions in the Northern Outland Mountains colony over the next three decades creates the first White Lions; having struggled to survive (their support from Lynne being cut off once the Lion Prince takes the throne), the small group finally deems the region an "uninhabitable wasteland", going back south in 780 BR, and intending to move into Lion City; despite the protests of Lynne and other Elders, the Lion King refuses to let the half-breeds in, disavowing them and declaring them to not be Lions; the White Lions are welcomed by the Sabertooth Tigers, however, and this event begins a legacy of poor relations between the Sabertooth and Lion tribes; additionally, the very concept of a colony ever existing in "the Wastelands" is forgotten over the next several hundred years.

## The Post-Confederation Warring Period: 779—651 BR

### 779—774 BR

* By the year 779 BR, the Mammalian Confederation dissolves, as the Leopards attempt to have as neutral a stance as possible in future wars, building their new HQ, The Golden City, in what they now call the Valley of Balance, where they focus on maintaining the Elemental Balance.

* Lynne, both disgusted by the Lion King's treatment of the White Lions, and angry at her daughter (the Leopard Queen through marriage) for the "betrayal" of ending the Confederation, resigns from her position on the Lions' Elder Council, and secretly breaks off from the Lion Tribe proper with a group of Lions who agree with her; they dig into the lowest parts of Cavora and create a hidden cavern.

* In 775 BR, Lynne reaches out to the White Lions and Sabertooth Tribe, offering for any of the former who wish to return to the Lion Tribe to live in the secret cavern, and aiming to repair the relationship between the Sabertooth and Lion tribes, even going so far as to plan a coup against the Lion King; however, a group of Sabertooths wishing to continue the animosity between their tribe and the Lions intercept Lynne's messenger, learn about her cavern, and assassinate Lynne and her Lions in 774 BR, choosing the Wolf Tribe at random to frame for the murders; the Wolf—Lion War begins as a result of this, and Lynne's hidden cavern goes unused until being discovered and utilized by The Forgotten hundreds of years later.

### 773—651 BR

* During a brief period of peace, the Wolves host a speedor race at the Lion City as an apparent show of good faith; using the race as a cover, the Wolves successfully infiltrate the Lion Castle through the leadership of General Wulfric, and completely drain the chi from the chi pool, creating an imbalance in nature for a time that results in small-scale windstorms and earthquakes; the Wolf—Lion War resumes.

* Soon after, Luggington, a Lion Diplomat with a talent for investigating, discovers the true sabertooth culprits of the earlier murders, clearing the Wolves' names; the Sabertooth King disavows and executes the rogues, but this event still worsens the relationship between the Lion and Sabertooth tribes, and causes many Lions to hate the Sabertooths as a species.

* The Wolf—Lion War is swiftly brought to an end in 772 BR with the Luggington—Wulfric Treaty, renouncing all war between the Wolves and Lions, and ensuring a seemingly eternal peace between those two tribes; the children and descendants of Luggington take on his name as their last name (a rare tradition in Chima) to honor him.

* At some point during this long period of general conflict, the original Skunk and Beaver tribes fall, and those species become scattered.

## The Second Great Peace: 650—271 BR

### 650—271 BR

* Prince Tristram, the future second Tiger King, is born in 650 BR; his birth (according to the Tigers) signifies the start of the Second Great Peace, which lasts for an unknown amount of time (at least 60 years).

* The Phoenix Tribe, over the ensuing centuries, eventually recovers the four Fire Wing Harnesses that Faerin had taken, though what she'd said about the Great Illumination is dismissed as propaganda, and eventually forgotten even by the Phoenix.

* Even as the continent of Chima is at peace, the Imperial Cold War continues on the West Sea, with the Colony's growing domination of the eastern islands creating a blockade that incidentally prevents the Manta Ray Empire from discovering or attacking Chima; despite still being ruled by the Felixian Dynasty, the Colony becomes increasingly bureaucratized as its population spreads out across more islands, requiring many more councilors and governors; the three largest archipelagos become somewhat independent, making the faction into more of a spread-out confederation of allied colonies than the single tribe and colony it used to be; due to both this, and the Eagles' growing power and presence in the faction, it eventually becomes known as the Eagle Triumvirate (at the time of the RP, this is also used as the term for the alliance between the Colony and any factions who join them); the original kingdom in the Hollow Mountains continues to be referred to as the Colony.

## The Migration & Expansion Period: 270—220 BR

### 270—235 BR

* At some point during this period, the Sabertooth Tigers construct a fleet, and colonize a part of the Arctic coast; there, they build the port city Fingir's Cove, a thriving center of commerce for the tribe (though the city's harbors aren't used to their full potential until the Sabertooths build up their fleet at the time of the RP, centuries later).

* The Elemental Rupture is discovered by one of Chima's tribes in 270 BR; despite a few of the Rupture crystals being mined and utilized in weapons, they're lost to time, and the Rupture eventually becomes a myth in the ensuing century, its existence doubted by most.

* Vulture Prince Valkar is born in 263 BR.

* After living in the Outland Mountains for centuries, the Mammoths surprisingly leave the region in 240 BR, migrating to the Iron Mountains, where they endure harsh winters; some remain in the Outland Mountains, however, such as Malgus' family.

* Malgus and Melko are both born in 235 BR, the latter being born to an even wealthier family within the main Mammoth Tribe.

### 234—220 BR

* Gorilla Prince Geurnica is born in 233 BR.

* At some point before 230 BR, the province of Catalan is created in the northern Gorilla territory; it is led by the Gorillas' House Cataphract for over 200 years, but is inhabited by an increasing amount of non-Gorillas, becoming a semi-independent state.

* Vezok von Donitz is born in 228 BR.

* Vulture Prince Varn, son of Valkar, is born in 223 BR.

* In 221 BR, a 14-year-old Malgus and his family flee the Northern Outland Mountains after a freak volcanic eruption destroys their mansion; they rejoin the Mammoth Tribe proper, where Malgus befriends Melko; Aeon Gulikovsky is born in the Gorilla Jungle, and future Leopard Intelligence Agent 'Ice' is also born that year.

* In 220 BR, Vulture King Valkar passes the Fire Trials on the Phoenix Islands, earning the usage of fire chi for his species; he makes it exclusive to the new Vulture Fleet, however, and appoints the father of Vezok von Donitz as the first Grand Duke of the semi-autonomous division, stationed on a newly colonized island.

## The Ray & Mammoth Coups Period: 219—179 BR

### 219—207 BR

* 600 years after her airship had crashed in the northwest glaciers, Faerin and her brainwashed Phoenix are found, thawed out, and "revived" by the Manta Ray Empire using chi; learning about their civilization, and wanting to use the Empire for revenge on the east (in addition to securing the Fire Wing Harnesses once again), Faerin manages to convince some of the Rays that she is a mystical "seer", and she prophesies that the Mantax family (the mantas who'd found and "befriended" her) are destined to someday unite the east and west under a glorious reign of peace and order; through Faerin, the denizens of the west finally learn about the existence of Chima, shattering the Rays' and ET's perception of their history.

* With Faerin seemingly validating her "magic" powers via her control over her Phoenix, her prophecy spurs the Imperial Civil War, with around half of the Rays fighting to overthrow the original royal family and instate the Mantaxes; during the Imperial Civil War, the Eagle Triumvirate's guerrilla attacks increase tenfold, as the faction takes advantage of the chaos within the Empire; despite having enemies on every side, the Mantaxes and their loyalists win the war, though the Empire nearly destroys itself in the process, and Faerin is killed in the final year of the war, 215 BR; Barriss is born in the Bear Cave in 215 BR, and Leia is born the next year.

* Now free of Faerin's control, the present Phoenix try to fly back to Chima, but they are all captured or killed by the Rays before they can; the remaining Phoenix are forced to create fire chi (and set up the Fire Trials to earn it) in case the Empire ever needs it in the future; the Phoenix are eventually granted citizenship in the Empire, though still not allowed to leave Forneus; despite the Mantax family now being on the throne as planned, the Empire is left in shambles after the Civil War, to such an extent that rebuilding and reunifying takes over a century, and the Mantaxes nearly forget about their planned invasion of the east in the process.

* The Eagle Triumvirate, also battered after the war (and wanting to rescue the Phoenix, but still unable to penetrate the defenses of Forneus), openly agree to a peace treaty with the Empire's new leaders, but secretly continue to interfere with the Restoration, building back their own strength and growing their faction by absorbing anti-Mantax groups and other anti-Imperial Rays.

### 206—203 BR

* Despite the Leopard Tribe, now stationed in the Valley of Balance, having remained neutral toward all southern conflicts for centuries, the Crocodile—Leopard War occurs in 206 BR when the Crocodiles start to expand their reach out of the swamp, encroaching on the neutral Grassy Plains and the Leopards' Iron Mountains territory; future Sabertooth Queen Sabradia is born.

* The Crocodiles also enter the Vultures' territory in The Great Desert, so the Vultures join the Leopards in fighting back, though to a lesser extent; while the Vultures and Leopards don't officially ally, this creates strong relations between the two tribes, planting the seed for a future alliance; Aeon Gulikovsky, a friend of Vulture Prince Varn, later tries to convince the now Gorilla King Geurnica to join the war effort, but fails.

* Vezok von Donitz's father is killed in the war, and Vezok inherits the title Grand Duke of the Vulture Fleet; the Vultures, Leopards, and Crocodiles all end up using guerrilla tactics (and in the Crocodiles' case, media propaganda to try and sway the neutral tribes to their side), leading to a drawn-out war that is more political than physical, until 203 BR, when the Leopards finally assault and blockade the Crocodile Headquarters using their new fleet, which they'd been taught to construct by Vezok.

* The Crocodiles are pushed to finally surrender and recede from their colonies; many Crocodiles, such as Crux (who is born in 203 BR), hold grudges against the Leopard Tribe as a result of the war; in the Lion Tribe, the Luggingtons push for completely unbiased newspapers to be printed, after the Crocs' media campaign during their war [though this is achieved, all memory of the events from 206 to 203 BR are later erased from the minds of Chima's southern populace by Leodus' spell, due to the involvement of the Vultures and Leopards].

### 202—186 BR

* Maulryene the mammoth is born in 202 BR.

* Malgus marries a mammoth historian in 200 BR, from which he learns the history of the Purple City; Malgus II is born later that year.

* In 195 BR, Barriss and her husband begin planning the creation of their private army and city-state, after growing disillusioned with the Bear Tribe; they discreetly move to the Arctic and set up their colony by the end of the year.

* As part of the Prince Project, Logos is born to the Leopard King and Leopard Agent 'Ice' in 194 BR; after finding out about Leia's planned experiments, Ice flees into the Arctic and gives birth to Logos months later, causing him to become the first snow leopard in existence; Leia recovers the newborn Logos, but not his mother; Maulryene's sister Maura is born the same year.

* The vulture who will later take the name 'Icewing' is born in 191 BR.

* Sabertooth Prince Finglor, son of Sabradia and King Sabrar, is born in 190 BR.

### 185—179 BR

* By 185 BR, Maulryene becomes the first in Chima to discover true Magic; the First Witch secretly trains Malgus, another magic-capable mammoth, in 185 BR, and he becomes the First Wizard; Maulryene also trains her friend Queen Sabradia in magic, later leading to an alliance between the Mammoths and Sabertooths.

* During this time, Leia learns about magic via another Leopard Agent spying on the Mammoths, and further tweaks her "Ultimate Prince Project" by taking a sample of Malgus' DNA, in order to artificially make Logos and Leodus capable of using magic.

* Vulture Prince Valum, son of Varn, is born in 184 BR.

* Vezon von Donitz, son of Vezok, is born in 183 BR.

* Valkar dies in 180 BR at the age of 83, and Varn is crowned Vulture King.

* After being denied access to the restricted sections of the Mammoths' library, Maulryene and Melko, aided by magic and their many friends such as Malgus, manage to swiftly overthrow the original Mammoth Monarchy in 179 BR, and Maulryene allies the Mammoths with the Sabertooths; the new King and Queen have triplets, Mormo, Melinoe, and Makaria, by the end of the year.

## The Age of Warlords: 178—122 BR

### 178—163 BR

* In 177 BR, Logos and Leodus break out of their confinement, managing to defeat Leia with their combined strength; after questioning Leia and learning about how his mother was "abandoned", Logos is driven into a feral rage by his emotions and the effects of his powers, managing to kill the Leopard King and Queen, as well as the Director of Leopard Intelligence; Logos escapes from the Golden City, Leia steps down as the Leopard Head Scientist to become the new LI Director, and Leodus is assigned to more "empathetic" caretakers, to serve as traditional parental figures and teach him about morality; meanwhile, Logos' fractured mind splits into multiple personalities, 'Logos' and 'Iceclaw'.

* In 174 BR, the adult Leodus reveals Logos' status as his half-brother to the Leopards immediately after his coronation, and orders for the snow leopard to be captured alive; a week later, Vulture King Varn meets and allies with the new Leopard King; Varn and Valum agree to assist Leodus in the hunt for Logos, and as they search for the fugitive throughout the Iron Mountains and Arctic border area in the ensuing years, they observe the Sabertooth-Mammoth alliance and its growing power.

* In 172 BR, Melko and his triplets all die during a brutal winter; Maulryene is driven to madness by the trauma and grief; Vamprah is born and orphaned the same year.

* Icestrike is born in 171 BR; his body is evolved before birth to survive in his birthplace of the Arctic, and he becomes Chima's first polar bear.

* Vergere, daughter of Icewing, is born in 168 BR.

* In 167 BR, Varn and Leodus (the former having grown wary of the Sabertooth-Mammoth alliance's magic, and desiring an equivalent power for his alliance as a deterrent) agree to Aeon Gulikovsky's proposition of locating and mining the Elemental Rupture; Aeon, hoping to add the Gorillas to the Vulture-Leopard alliance, ventures below the Iron Mountains with Varn, Valum, two vulture mercenaries, and leopard miners sent by Leodus (who is busy cracking down on a criminal organization within his tribe); they succeed in finding the Elemental Rupture and mining many Rupture crystals, only for the miners to suddenly go rogue, killing Aeon, Varn, and Icewing's husband, and accidentally causing a cave-in with explosives; unbeknownst to Valum, Icewing is rescued in time by Iceclaw and Icescale, and recruited into the 'Ice Hunters'; Valum escapes, informs a shocked Leodus of the 'Rupture Incident', and is crowned Vulture King after turning 18 not long after; in the ensuing years, the Vultures and Leopards hunt for the rogue miners whilst shakily keeping their alliance together.

* Baton Bridger, a relative of a future Bear Tribe royal line, is born in 166 BR; that year, Finglor leads the Sabertooth Tigers in a war with the Lions following the death of King Sabrar; despite her alliance with the Sabertooths, Maulryene doesn't have the Mammoths join the war; however, Malgus and his family launch their own campaign against the Phoenix with a coalition of Mammoth volunteers, after finding out that the Lions are receiving proxy aid from the Phoenix; this ends disastrously for the Mammoths, as Malgus' entire family is killed with the exception of him and Malgus II.

* In 163 BR, the Lion City is breached and nearly destroyed by the Sabertooths, but the Phoenix conduct the Second Great Illumination (after Fal'qar ensures that it is an incomplete one), cursing the Sabertooths to the Arctic, and causing Mount Cavora to rise into the sky; the Fire Wings teleport to random parts of the world, the Lion City is rebuilt to accommodate the now floating chi falls, and the Mammoths are also exiled to the north by the Illumination, due to their growing magic powers and alliance with the Sabertooths; Maulryene, Malgus and Sabradia are completely frozen to prevent them from lifting the curse confining their tribes to the Arctic; Leodus gets a hold of Malgus' magic teachings, and becomes the self-taught Second Wizard of Chima (this also grants him "borderline immortality", making him physically 29 years old indefinitely); he does this before the end of the war, and thus incidentally absorbs the Illumination's energy when it occurs, granting him a single-use ability to curse any tribe in a similar fashion.

### 162—156 BR

* In 162 BR, Aether Gulikovsky and the Gorillas discover Iceclaw's Ice Hunters while en route to meet with the Leopards in the Iron Mountains; Aether agrees to become the Gorilla Tribe's spy within the terrorist organization; Aether/'Icegnash' joins the Ice Hunters as their mechanic and inventor, building the Rupture vehicles for a war on the Leopards, with his true goal being to gather and destroy all Rupture crystals.

* Tenebrae, now under the identity of Senix the Sabertooth, finds copies of Sabradia's written teachings while working solo, becoming Chima's Third Wizard; using these new powers, he finds and destroys one of the Fire Wing Harnesses necessary for a Great Illumination in the Northern Outland Mountains; Senix is then transformed upon entering the Arctic to free the Sabertooths in late 161 BR, and is captured by the Leopards, sent to what will later be named Hunter Prison after the Leopards rebuild it.

* The bear who will later call himself Iceslash is born in 159 BR.

* In 157 BR, a 15-year-old Vamprah enlists in the Vulture Army; later that year, Valum is confronted in The Great Desert by Icewing, who explains that she aims to take revenge on the Leopards, and urges the Vulture King to not only end his alliance with them, but to help the Ice Hunters destroy the Leopard Tribe as well; Valum rejects the proposal and fights Icewing and Icescale, at first overwhelmed by the powers of their Rupture weapons, before he and his guards are rescued by a Vulture Border Patrol helicopter; Valum meets Vamprah onboard the helicopter, and later discusses his encounter with Leodus; Valum returns to Talon City and finds Icewing, who reveals the existence of her daughter Vergere while attempting to negotiate with the Vulture King again; when the negotiations fall through, Icewing escapes using a smoke bomb, unaware that Valum and Vamprah managed to follow her; Icewing returns to the Ice Hunter HQ in the Iron Mountains to discuss the matter of the Vulture-Leopard alliance with Iceclaw, but he leaves after Icescale reports that they spotted Leia at the Leopards' new Iron Mountains outpost; Icestrike and Icescale go with him, while Icewing goes on patrol and finds Valum and Vamprah observing the HQ; Icewing attacks the two Vultures and they eventually manage to defeat her, setting fire to her wings.

* With the other Ice Hunters all having left, Icegnash calls the Gorilla Tribe over radio to bomb the HQ, only for Icescale to return and catch him; Valum and Vamprah break into the HQ and rescue Icegnash after he reveals his identity as Aether Gulikovsky; the three are unable to counter Icescale's Rupture Vengious powers, and escape after being extracted by the Gorillas; at Aether's behest, Valum goes to Gorilla HQ to meet with the Gorilla King after sending Vamprah back to Talon City, but the helicopter they're in crashes in the Gorilla Jungle after a stowaway Icewing freezes its rotor; Valum duels and defeats Icewing, and the Hunter impales herself with the Rupture Blade to avoid being interrogated by the Gorillas, after which she passes the weapon on to Valum.

### 155—129 BR

* The "Vulture Plague" strikes the Vultures in 150 BR, nearly wiping out the original tribe and making Vultures an endangered species; all other inland tribes refuse to take in the remaining Vultures for fear of catching the plague themselves; Vulture King Valum goes to his friend Leodus for help, but is assassinated by Icestrike; Valum gives Leodus the Rupture Blade as he dies; Baku Bobrov is born in Catalan that year.

* Vamprah takes command of the remaining Vultures, and forms the heavily militarized Brotherhood of Vultures, moving the tribe from the Great Desert into the Iron Mountains; the Brotherhood grows over the next two decades until its population reaches the same size as the original Vulture Tribe, becoming fully realized in 129 BR.

* Byke is born in the Bear Forest in 148 BR.

* Aether Gulikovsky discovers and colonizes what will later be named Aether Island in 147 BR; he has small, inconspicuous villages built there, rather than a city.

* Eagle Prince Ewar is born in 137 BR.

### 128—122 BR

* Icestrike takes over half of the Bear Tribe, starting the Bear Civil War, which lasts through early 125 BR; many prominent bears such as Iroquois join Icestrike's movement during the war; in 126 BR, Aether Gulikovsky uses his public influence to push for the Gorillas to join the war on the side of the Bear King, but Icestrike has his Bears infiltrate Aether Island and assassinate the governor before this can happen; Gorilla Prince Gorzan II is born that year; the Bear Tribe claims the neutral land that will later be named Southernfell after the war.

* After framing Leodus for Valum's murder, King Icestrike allies his "Icebear" faction with Vamprah and starts the Icebear—Leopard War, which ends in 122 BR when Leodus curses the Icebears and Vultures to confinement in the Arctic, ending the Age of Warlords as well; during the war, Vamprah finds and destroys a Fire Wing Harness in the Iron Mountains using Icescale's Rupture Vengious, destroying the sword itself in the process; after the war, the Icebear Shipbuilding Device is taken by the Leopards and hidden on the future Bat Island; King Leodus creates the Prophecy of Black Mountain in order to create an energy force field around the Valley of Balance.

* Unbeknownst to the Tigers and Leopards, Fal'qar, the elected Phoenix King in his current incarnation, is then exposed and overthrown by Set-Ra due to his actions in preventing a complete Great Illumination at the end of the Sabertooth Tiger—Lion War; Fal'qar uses his powers as the Phoenix King/Emperor to put the tribe into a stasis beneath the sea, and the Tigers, assuming that the Phoenix are waiting until a future conflict to return, follow suit.

## The Third Great Peace: 121—61 BR

### 121—80 BR

* There is peace among the tribes for the next 60 years, the conflicts between the Fire and Ice Tribes having been forgotten, thanks to a powerful spell Leodus uses in 121 BR to erase all memory of those species from the minds of Chima's citizens; with their memories of the Vulture Plague erased, tribes begin colonizing the Great Desert; the Ravens migrate to the southern desert, and the Lions build a town on the northwest desert border, eventually giving the town to the Bears as part of a trade deal.

* On the West Sea, the Manta Ray Empire continues to slowly but surely recover from its Civil War, building new fleets (unaware that the Eagle Triumvirate is doing the same) and stamping out remaining anti-Mantax groups; a "baby boom" begins in Chima, as many future important figures are born during the Third Great Peace.

* Bliston and his sister Bratta are born in the Gorge at some point during this period (Bliston keeps his age a secret upon his later evolution).

* In 31 BR, the Eagles under King Elrond attempt to claim the future Southernfell, which, along with their other expansions, causes the Gorilla—Eagle War.

* Also in 26 BR, Zarak is reincarnated, born in the Gorge of Eternal Depth as the scorpion that will later be named Scorponok; the then-primitive being's instincts overwrite Zarak's control, and he's trapped in the body as it forms its own consciousness.

* In 25 BR, Klark founds a team of commandos for defense. He trains them to be the Minor Tribes' special forces, and names them the Marine Commando-type Strategic Troops; later in the year, King Erdrik crushes a group of bandit Eagles in his territory, but a hatchling from the rogues' base is brought to him; in accordance with his philosophy, Erdrik adopts the eagle, raising him as the next prince.

* Scorpius is also born in 25 BR, in the Gorge of Eternal Depth.

* In 24 BR, Erdrik destroys a colony of hostile rogue Lions in the Eagle territory, but recovers a lion cub from them; Lion King Leopold blackmails Erdrik, threatening the possibility of a Lion—Eagle war if this event went public, despite the colonists having been unaffiliated with the main tribe; Erdrik agrees to have the cub be raised (and taught to pilot and construct aircraft) by the Eagles, before being sent back to the Lions, thus giving the Lions the information to finally build an adequate air force; Petricoff, a descendant of the last Peacock King, is born to pirate parents later that year.

### 12—9 BR

* In the year 12 BR, Crexar and Corok are exiled for a golden chi theft attempt, causing tensions to form between the Lions and Crocodiles.

## The Raven Warring Period: 8—0 BR

### 8—4 BR

* In the Raven Tribe, the now King Razar begins to grow suspicious of Rawlin and his company.

* In 7 BR, Razar hires Crexar and his crew to round up any anti-monarchy ravens; Rawlin discovers this and captures all the bounty hunters on the team except Crexar himself, holding them hostage so Crexar doesn't tell Razar about this; soon after, Lyrix meets Raven Queen Rica during a diplomatic discussion between the Lion and Raven leaders; Lyrix becomes a friend and ally to Rica.

* In 6 BR, the Eagles "encourage" the now adult Leonard to return to the Lion Tribe and found a Lion Air Force, as per the terms of Erdrik's deal.

* Later that year, an incident involving an unstable teleportation machine spurs Lysandre to have Leon Trustky arrested by the Lion Tribe; Dr. Ralts and the Hider twins leave the company following this.

* In 5 BR, Lyrix and Lycor both reach the rank of General in the Lion Army; by then, Lyndis, Leon, and Lycan "retire" from their positions, and are promoted to the Lions' Council of Elders by King Lionel; the mother of Rixia Rolex dies of cancer, and Rixia inherits the title of Rhino Queen; taking advantage of the brief civil unrest following the tragedy, the wolf Whit defeats Prince Rorik (Rixia's only cousin), kidnapping the young rhino in an amnesiac state.

* After having a Regent fill in to lead the Eagle Tribe, Eeran is crowned King in 4 BR, at the age of 21; around the same time, Lavuras is promoted to the rank of Lion Regent at an impressively young age; now in command of the Lion Knights, Lavuras reforms them into a more modernized Lion Police Force; Raven Prince Razic moves from Raven HQ to Eagle Spire, where he is reunited with his childhood friend Eris (this causes him to be unaware of the Raven Civil War until the RP); Rawlin becomes business partners with Lysandre in late 4 BR, secretly receiving funding from the lion.

### 3—2 BR

* The Raven Civil War begins in early 3 BR following the assassination of Razar at the hands of Erlin, and the schism of the Raven Tribe between the Wings Row Monarchy loyalists and the Talon Industries faction; early in the conflict, Rawndor is caught in the crossfire and killed, so Erlin flees to Eagle Spire; Rawlin takes over Raven HQ, and tasks Dr. Radcliffe to design the MMSC.

* The Queen-in-Exile Rica bombs Lysandre Labs after finding out Lysandre is a business partner of Rawlin; Lysandre survives, but goes into hiding.

* Later in 3 BR, WRM spy Razalac steals the MMSC blueprints, and Rawlin hires Crexar to steal them back; Rawlin releases Crexar's crew from custody; the Lions gain awareness of the MMSC plans, so Lyrix and Lycor lead a team of Lion soldiers to retrieve them; Crexar's bounty hunters are killed one by one during the skirmishes between them, the Lions, and WRM; Lyrix secretly helps the WRM Ravens obtain the plans due to his frienship with Rica; out of paranoia, Lyrix then double crosses Rica, showing Rawlin the location of the secret WRM HQ in the Iron Mountains; the base is destroyed as Rawlin reclaims the blueprints, and the WRM loyalists retreat; construction of the MMSC is almost completed at the end of 3 BR, but Dr. Radcliffe goes rogue; he is killed while attempting to warn the Eagles of Rawlin's planned war on them, but the MMSC blueprints are destroyed with him, along with Crexar and Eglor.

* In 2 BR, Lyrix frames Lycor for golden chi theft in order to claim the rank of Lion Field Marshal; in the Iron Mountains, Lycor is found and befriended by Leodus, unknowingly his distant relative; Lycor lives with the Leopard Tribe for most of the year, until obtaining proof of Lyrix' betrayal with the now nomadic Rica's help; Lyrix is exiled from the Lion Tribe, and Lycor becomes the Lion Field Marshal in his place.

* Also in 2 BR, just after Lycor's return to the Lions, the young raven pirate Ryzarlian (who likely broke off from Gibbs' criminal empire along with his three ships' crews) commits actions that damage Talon Industries, earning him a pardon for his earlier piracy by Rica; she makes him a Commodore of the WRM faction, in the last month of the year.

### 1—0 BR

* In 1 BR, following a conflict on The West Sea with the crime lord Gibbs, Lyrix becomes a pirate and merges Klark's MCSTs and Gibbs' remaining crew with his own; Petricoff, unlike his parents, survives the destruction of Gibbs' fleet, and goes to the mainland to join the Minor Tribes; Klark is marooned on the future Bat Island, and presumed dead by the Minor Tribes; Lycor arrives in time to destroy the Icebear Shipbuilding Device, to prevent the Pirates of the West Sea from using it.

* In late 1 BR, a self-exiled but still hardworking Ludwig Luggington completes his series of history books, compiling all of Chima's known history (with the exception of anything involving the Fire Tribes and exiled tribes, due to Leodus' spell), and archives his books in the Outland town Corvidholme, after having been paid an enormous sum by Father Grigori to do so.

* Around this time, Ryzarlian leaves the employment of Rica, departing from Chima entirely; he and his crews discover and join the Eagle Triumvirate, giving them more information about the current state of the eastern continent.

* Just before the events of the Roleplay, a hole breaks open in the force field around the underwater Phoenix Isles, due to Fal'qar's stasis growing weaker; one phoenix falls out and drowns, becoming the Chi Ghost Bliston will summon not long after.

## The Chima Roleplay

### The Chima Civil War & the Bat—Raven War

* In the absence of the original blueprints, Rawlin hires Beavers from the Minor Tribes to complete the MMSC; Rawlin allies the Raven Tribe with the Crocodile Tribe; the Chima Civil War occurs when the Ravens attack Eagle Spire and the Crocs attack Lion City; the Talon Industries Great Forest outpost is seized by the Bears, who'd allied with the Lions, and is expanded into the citadel Blitz Base; the Raven Civil War continues as the WRM Ravens ally with the Lions against the Crocs and TI Ravens; the TI Ravens nearly destroy The Lion Pastures, leading to a worker's revolt organized there by Lincoln, but most of the TI outposts are eventually destroyed or seized by the Lions and Bears; the Battle of Eagle Spire continues long after the Crocs are driven back from Lion territory; all the inland tribes except the Rhinos, Eagles, and Crocs form the Chima Alliance following the war; shortly after this, Woldros expands the Wolves' HQ, where the Chima Alliance had been founded, into Wolf City.

* Gible drops chi orbs into the Gorge of Eternal Depth, and the Bats and arachnids are finally evolved; during the Chima Civil War, the Bats and Scorpions each take over a third of the Outlands and fight small wars with the Spiders, gaining war experience; the three Outland tribes discover Ludwig Luggington's books in the now abandoned Corvidholme, learning all of Chima's recorded history; the Spiders embrace extreme isolationism after their first Queen is usurped by Spilyth, but the Bats and Scorpions eventually ally, forming the Crawler Empire; the Bats fly to Bat Island, name it, and begin constructing the Bat Naval Command Center and the Bat Fleet there; Ludwig Luggington travels northwest by boat, with him and the Bats unaware of each other's presence on the sea; after going farther west, the lion is captured and interrogated by the Rays, who restore his broken mind through cognitive therapy; despite learning most of Chima's history up to that point, the Manta Ray Empire isn't made aware of the Bats and the other Outland tribes' existence, since Ludwig had left the mainland before the new tribes' evolution.

* The Bat—Raven War begins when King Bliston interrupts the Battle of Eagle Spire, reinforcing the Eagles and WRM Ravens against the TI Ravens; the MMSC crashes to the north of the Iron Mountains; Rawlin is defeated, but both he and Bliston disappear following the battle, leaving Balthazar and Radnarus to lead the Bats and TI Ravens, respectively; Bliston reappears and drains the chi from Mount Cavora while in the MMSC, framing the Ravens for the theft; unbeknownst to the Bats, this causes ongoing damage to nature, slowly rising in magnitude; Bliston appoints Balthazar as the Bats' first Grand Admiral, transferring him to Bat Island; Balthazar discovers Klark on the island, and appoints the fox as his bodyguard; the Bats take the chi to the Outlands and divide it equally with the Scorpions; Bliston plans to destroy Raven HQ in order to defeat Talon Industries, regardless of WRM casualties; during a three-way battle with the two Raven factions, the Bats abandon the MMSC and crash it into the HQ, retroactively ending the Raven Civil War, the Chima Civil War, and the Bat—Raven War all at once.

### The Chima Alliance—Crawler Empire War

* During this time, Rica is captured by Lysandre in the secret New Lysandre Labs, and he reveals that he strangely wants her to reclaim her Queenship of the Ravens; soon after, a joint force of Lions and WRM Ravens led by Lycor, Prince-in-Exile Razic, and Rex arrives to rescue Rica, but Lysandre surprisingly releases her following brief negotiations with Lycor; immediately afterward, Rica denounces the Wings Row Monarchy, resulting in Rex's defection to the Lions and the Ravens solidifying their place in the Chima Alliance; the remnants of Talon Industries form the Raven Resistance, but soon merge with the WRM remnants to create a single Raven Tribe, after Rica's announcement; the RR Ravens build a new HQ in the Iron Mountains and eventually evolve into the New Talon Industries company, while the former WRM Ravens join The Forgotten, a growing anti-Crawler Empire rebel faction comprised of Spiders, Scorpions, and some inland species; Razic summons the Chi Ghost of Razar to enlist his aid in the Forgotten, only for them to be separated.

* Lysandre shifts his focus to funding the Aether Foundation after Gorbav resumes and completes construction of the city Aether Paradise; there, Lusamine and Guzma begin experimenting on a volunteer test subject for a power suit, the spider Scolisopod; Rawlin's former ally, the Crocodile King Crogall, is assassinated by the Spiders for unknown reasons, and his cousin Crogar succeeds him; soon after, the Spider Queen Spilyth is assassinated by the traitor Sezrac (who flees north and returns to Chima as a spy for the Brotherhood of Vultures, before eventually being killed by Longfang), and the witch Spelyne, who'd been secretly training herself in magic after finding Maulryene's written teachings, takes over the Spider Tribe; around this time, Bratta and Bachell are both ambushed and stung by the Forgotten's founder Scrin, turning them into unwilling Forgotten sleeper agents within the Bat Tribe.

* The Crawler Empire powers up with its immense amount of chi and begins conquering regions in the inland, which had been weakened by the previous wars and lack of chi; the Crawler Empire conquers a large portion of the inland before the non-neutral inland tribes rally against their expansion, beginning the Chima Alliance—Crawler Empire War; during this time, the Minor Tribes embark on a mission into the Outlands, where Skinnet had turned up after being captured by the Scorpions; they succeed in rescuing Skinnet, and the founder is reunited with his daughter; in Black Fang Mountain, before Dr. Benjamin's expedition, Brethil apprehends Bratta and Bachell, cleansing them both of Scrin's control; following this, Bliston's wife births Bernard, the first Bat Prince, in the mountain; during the war, the Crawler Empire makes peace with the Eagles, Crocs, Gorillas, and Rhinos, but the Gorillas later betray the Crawlers and aid the rest of the Chima Alliance in fighting them; the Eagles and Crocs eventually become official war allies of the Crawlers, but the Rhinos remain neutral; before the Crawler Empire makes peace with the Rhinos, Bat Head Scientist Dr. Benjamin leads an expedition into the Arctic North, discovering the Brotherhood of Vultures and witnessing Senix's escape from Hunter Prison, before being frozen by the sabertooth; Rex, who'd been on the expedition, is also frozen, and Leonard, who'd been on the expedition but got separated from the rest of the team before Senix's breakout, comes under the employment of the Leopard Tribe; Leodus eventually makes Leonard his spy within the Forgotten; around this time, Lewis Luggington takes over Chima Public Broadcasting following the disappearance of Rupee.

* King Scorm is captured by the Lions (and later assassinated by Scordon Freeman), and Scorpix takes over the Scorpion Tribe; Scorpix, wanting the Scorpions to shift into a democracy, secretly has Craunus Maximus and Calloran Fen found the Republic of the Claw early, as a contingency plan in case of his death; Scorpix also forms a plan to draw out and defeat Scortica's growing separatist faction, The Combine, and reaches an uneasy truce with Blitz Bridger following several battles over the Bear territory; meanwhile, Scorponok begins having visions of the Phoenix, unaware that this is Zarak trying to communicate with him; Rawlin eventually returns, and joins Radnar in a shared leadership of the Raven Tribe; just before the Gorillas betray the Crawler Empire, Bliston learns about Chi Ghosts from Gorbav (and about the existence of the Phoenix from a supposedly "fiction" section of the Eagle Library), and summons the Chi Ghost of a phoenix (in-between his reincarnations) in Gorilla HQ, asking if the chi falls can be restarted, to rectify his mistake of stopping them and causing damage to nature; the phoenix confirms that he can restart the falls, before Gorbav ambushes and captures Bliston; the phoenix Chi Ghost summoned by Bliston possesses Bachell to have her restart the chi falls, making both sides of the war evenly matched.

* Leading the Bat Tribe during this time, Balthazar imprisons Bratta after figuring out that she was planning to follow Barney in defecting to the Forgotten; he also secretly sends Scorponok to rescue Bliston; the scorpion succeeds in doing so, also thwarting Rawlin's attempts to kill the Bat King; Lusamine, Lysandre, and Guzma send Scolisopod to assassinate Bat General Badrar as a test, but she fails, and escapes from the now Crawler and Eagle co-owned Eagle Spire; following this failure, Lysandre leaves Aether Island in favor of becoming business partners with the Rhino Tribe; during the Bat Fleet's expeditions on the sea, Balthazar discovers and destroys a scout ship of the Manta Ray Empire, after the captain of the ship expresses the desire to conquer the eastern continent; the Eagle Triumvirate intercepts this statement over radio, which spurs them to resume open hostilities with the Rays; Balthazar reports this encounter to a returned Bliston after his rescue; meanwhile, the curse confining the Ice Hunters to the Arctic is broken by the magic-capable Hunters, after the other Mammoths and the Vultures finally find and reawaken them; at the same time, the Forgotten stage The Uprising in and around Scorpion Cavern Castle, as well as Cave 17, and eventually defeat Scorm's brother, Dr. Scortica Breen; both the Forgotten and Combine are scattered throughout the Scorpion Caverns when the castle is destroyed by the Bears, with remaining Combine forces crushed by the bombardment.

### The Crawler—Ice Hunter War

* During the Uprising, the Chima Alliance—Crawler Empire War proper drags on at a stalemate until the Crawler Empire is defeated by the freed Ice Hunters, their leaders, land, and buildings frozen; Gorbav dies of a stroke at this time, leaving the Gorilla Republic in the hands of Gorvan, and sending shockwaves down the Republic; Grand Admiral Balthazar takes over leadership of the Bat Tribe, and takes the Imperial Remnant to Bat Island to continue the Crawler—Ice Hunter War; Balthazar's strategies and resources give the Bat Fleet a victorious campaign, almost completely destroying both the Icebear Fleet and Lyrix's pirates, before Balthazar is betrayed and assassinated by his own bodyguard, Klark; Scorpianus, a scorpion who'd stayed with the Bats, leaves the Crawler Empire after Balthazar's death, joining the Forgotten; meanwhile, the remaining Imperial Scorpions break into splinter factions: the Braxinites, the Republic of the Claw, the mountain dwellers, and Scorponok's Team Stinger, which, after obtaining fire chi, evolves into Team Fire-Stinger to continue the fight with the Ice Hunters on land; after helping the Bats destroy what's left of the Icebear fleet, the Bears ally with the Republic of the Claw.

* The Vultures, Icebears and Sabertooths attack the Leopards even during their war with the Crawlers, beginning the Fire—Ice Wars; during this time, Maulryene is incapacitated by an unknown illness, so the Mammoths postpone their part in the invasion; the Tigers return from their dormancy to help the Leopards, and the Phoenix Islands rise from the sea (where Fal'qar is promptly captured by the Phoenix, now that his stasis has finally worn off), allowing the southern species to earn fire chi to fight the Ice Hunters; in the Rhino Tribe, Ronegan cites Queen Rixia's recent inaction, to maneuver himself into being elected Prime Minister, steadily moving power away from the monarchy (Lysandre's partnership with the Rhinos remains in effect); during the wars, Leodus and Petricoff find out Senix is Tenebrae, and Senix denies the Leopard King's proposition for an Empire of Balance, in addition to freezing Petricoff; Scorponok, after declaring Team Fire-Stinger the "Stinger Brotherhood", plants bombs beneath The Four Talon Towers now that the Vultures have relocated their prisoners.

* Like the Stinger Brotherhood, the Lions and Bats soon obtain fire chi; headed by Lycor and Brakket, they mount an allied assault on Icestrike's Ultimate Glacier to rescue the frozen inland and Outland tribesmen alike, with the aid of Leodus and Scorponok; following the assault, the Stinger Brotherhood is scattered, Scorpix is killed in a duel with Lycor, and The Four Talon Towers are destroyed by Scorponok's bombs shortly after the Ultimate Glacier is melted (sending the Rupture Airship crashing down into the mountains once more); Icestrike is killed by Vamprah and Leodus (after Leodus reveals the truth about Valum's death), who ally the Brotherhood of Vultures with the Leopard Tribe to form the Empire of Balance, which fights both the Fire and Ice factions if necessary to maintain the Elemental Balance; the Sabertooths go south through the ancient tunnels, freezing the Gorillas and conquering the Gorilla jungle; Gorvan and most of the tribe are imprisoned in Black Fang Mountain, which the Sabertooths take over as a southern base.

* The freed Bliston regroups the Bat Tribe and embarks on a campaign to rescue Dr. Benjamin from the Sabertooths, before migrating to New Bat Island to build a defense force against the Manta Ray Empire; the Bats succeed, also rescuing Petricoff and Rex; the latter enters the service of Bliston and the Bat Tribe, and builds an embassy atop Mount Cavora after the Bats arrive at New Bat Island; Bliston's sister Bratta and her husband Barney make it to New Bat Island, where Bratta has their children, Belris and Belkor; Rawlin attempts to create an alliance between Ravens, Crocodiles, and Ice Hunters, but is thwarted when a Crocodile insurgency occurs; Sobek takes advantage of the event to try to overthrow Crogar, but fails and retreats; Rawlin leaves as well, and the Crocs are left to recover; soon after, the Sabertooths attack the Croc Swamp and freeze Crogar, but the swamp and remaining Crocodiles are saved by the Republic of the Claw, Tigers, and Phoenix; in the Iron Mountains, the Empire of Balance engages the Sabertooths in battle; the Empire destroys Fort Sabran, destabilizing the Ice Hunters' foothold in the mountains, and causing King Finglor to disappear.

* After the Scorpions are freed from the Glacier, the Braxinites and mountain dwellers are absorbed back into the Scorpion Tribe, now led by Scorm's son Scorpio; the Scorpions build a new castle and kingdom on the surface of the Outlands, and expand to reclaim their territory and the Bat Tribe's former territory; in the Scorpion Cavern ruins, Sezrac's brother Solrac explodes what remains of the Combine and their tech, but abandons his fellow Forgotten in the process; King Scorpio's Scorpions rescue the surviving Forgotten they find, and begin mining the area for the rare minerals the explosions unearthed, dubbing the site "Crystal Crater"; meanwhile, Lion King Lionel disappears, and is replaced as King by Lavuras, all but solidifying the Lions' shift into an electoral monarchy; most of the Forgotten survivors from Scorpion Cavern Castle migrate to a smaller island south of New Bat Island, which they claim and name Scordon Island, whilst others move to St. Olga, closer to the mainland, to live more peaceful lives.

### The Arachnid Alliance—Empire of Balance War & the Fire—Ice Wars

* Spelyne and her Royal House disappear in the Arctic while searching for Maulryene, and Skaulus and Severix (the latter being Spelyne's cousin) of House Rax are sworn in as King and Queen; Kings Skaulus and Scorpio join forces, forming the Arachnid Alliance with the Spider and Scorpion Tribes; Severix expands the Arachnid Alliance's territory into the Iron Mountains and the Arctic; since the Spiders and Scorpions now all have fire chi, this disrupts the Elemental Balance, and Vamprah sends Imperial forces to stop their expansion; conflict eventually erupts, and Queen Severix is slain in self-defense by the Vulture Captain of the Imperial Knights, who is then killed himself by spiders; Lycor, who'd joined the Empire after the Battle of Icestrike's Glacier, is promoted to an Imperial Knight Captain in his place, and Skaulus declares war on the Empire of Balance.

* Solrac finds out about Sezrac's fate, and attempts to hunt down and slay Longfang in order to avenge his brother; Longfang fakes his death to escape Solrac, and Solrac is arrested and imprisoned in the Golden City for assaulting an Imperial Knight Captain; Solrac is arranged to be exiled to the Arctic, but escapes into the Iron Mountains, where Forgotten excavators find the pieces of the Fire Wing Harness Vamprah had destroyed, and build them into Scordon Freeman's armor, essentially re-forging the harness; Solrac joins up with the Forgotten there; in Spider territory, Skaulus and Stannis Rax find Scorpio and his mother Scorpia (who'd been trapped for a time in the remaining tunnels around Crystal Crater) and confront the Forgotten's founder, Scrin, who reveals that he'd been controlling the young Scorpio to be a competent leader, and “*removes*” Scorpia from her seat of power within the Forgotten, subsequently escaping.

* Wol'jin takes over the Wolf Tribe as its President, and sends out diplomats all across the world, to gain fire chi for a potential war against the Ice Hunters, and also to ensure his position and legitimacy in the eyes of the populous; the Wolves attempt to take over the now vacant Croc Swamp, but are confronted by the Republic of the Claw; the Republic Consuls meet with Wol'jin formally, as the Wolves and Lions politically battle for control of the Croc Swamp; the Republic of the Claw terminates its alliance with the Bears in favor of allying with the Wolves and Gorillas, forming the Unichi alliance; Rawlin discusses an alliance with Wol'jin afterward, but expresses interest in allying with the Ice Hunters, so the Ravens don't end up joining Unichi; Rawlin goes off the radar again, and the Eagles quietly overthrow King Eeran, who they believe has become ineffective by not responding to the Ice Hunters' invasion; they instate Ewinus as an Acting Regent.

* The Gorilla Jungle is liberated by the Tigers and Gorillas, now with fire chi; the Icebears regroup under the leadership of Iroquois, and attempt to claim Crystal Crater and the smaller Forgotten-controlled caverns; the Arachnid Alliance attacks the Golden City, and the Sabertooths attack the Minor Tribes HQ; during the latter battle, Fluxx kills Tredd; the Forgotten launch an assault on the Sabertooth-controlled, formerly unclaimed land of Southernfell, while helping Solrac rescue the Forgotten spy Seris Rax, who'd had his bastard son; Solrac helps Seris escape from the Spiders, getting captured himself in the process; Skaulus Rax executes Solrac, and continues his war with the Empire of Balance; Seris, who'd remotely managed the Forgotten's colonization of Scordon Island, takes over the island as its Governess.

* Scorpion King Scorm is somehow resurrected by Scrin, taken to New Bat Island, and recuperated by his friend Bliston, before going to Scordon Island; Wolves go to New Bat Island to establish trade with the Bat Tribe and warn them about a thief who crashed there; the Wolves establish an embassy off the coast of New Bat Island, and Bliston locks down the island to trap and capture the marooned thief; the thief is captured by the Bats and delivered to the Wolves, soon after the Bat Tribe completes production of its Second Fleet; the Forgotten on Scordon Island capture Scorm and use him to test their new teleportation machine; Scorm is transported into one of the Republic of the Claw's underground Great Halls, where Craunus Maximus and Calloran Fen reveal the truth about the Republic's creation to him; a furious Scorm is transported away by Scrin, who briefly discusses the possibility of the Forgotten joining Unichi.

* After finding out about Senix's true identity and plan by reading the other wizard's mind, Malgus has Malgus II steal a golden chi orb from the Lions; Malgus rallies most of the Mammoth Tribe under his leadership, and uses the golden chi orb to reconstruct the Purple City; there, Malgus finds and revives Galvanor; the lost Saban is captured by Forgotten Lions in the Great Forest, and given fire chi, which cures him of his zombie state and robs him of his ice powers; Saban is imprisoned in Saber Mountain by Sabradia to keep the revelation a secret, but is broken out by Senix, who hopes to possibly recruit him to the Phoenix Triumvirate's cause; they are separated in the Arctic, however; the Arachnid Alliance forces are driven back from the Valley of Balance, and the Empire and Tigers hold a banquet in the Golden City to celebrate their victories thus far against the Ice Hunters and Arachnids; the Empire of Balance expands its territory, and Senix attacks the Purple City with the Icebears who'd been left on Bat Island, eventually conquering the city and driving out the Mammoths, and planning to attack the Phoenix Isles to rescue Fal'qar; Galvanor flies west.

* Iroquois continues his attack on Crystal Crater with the majority of the Icebears; beneath the Outland Mountains, Unichi and Fire Tribe forces continue pursuing the Sabertooths through the tunnels; the allied forces attack Black Fang Mountain, which had been frozen by the Icebears and claimed as a base by the Sabertooths; on the Phoenix Islands, the former vulture spy Viona politically takes over leadership of the Phoenix, whose current Emperor, Set-Ra, disappeared; Malgus II reveals Senix's identity as Tenebrae to the Tigers, requesting their assistance in attacking the Purple City and defeating Senix; Forgotten, Mammoth, and Tiger forces temporarily ally to attack the Icebears in the Purple City, while Malgus enlists Lyrix to steal The Artifact from Saber Mountain; Lyrix fails and is transformed into a White Lion, but still obtains the exact location of the Fire Wing Harness that Senix had destroyed; the Tigers and Mammoths defeat Senix and extract him from the Purple City.

* Iroquois and his Icebears win the battle for Crystal Crater, and the Scorpions retreat; to get revenge on the Icebears in general, rogue Scorpions from Crystal Crater bomb the Purple City, destroying the city and all the Icebears within; this is considered the end of the Crawler—Ice Hunter War; Titus and Malgus II debate on what to do with the captured Tenebrae/Senix, while the Forgotten try to take Senix themselves to test the "fire chi purification"; the Forgotten also defeat the Sabertooths in Southernfell, claiming the region as a headquarters location; Senix is rescued from the Tigers and Mammoths by his remaining Icebears, who he'd previously sent to search for Saban; Scorm is transported to Scorm City's castle by Scrin, and attempts to retake control of the Scorpion Tribe; a mentally deranged Scorm easily usurps Scorpio, who is rescued by a spy from the Republic of the Claw before he can be killed by his father; Scrin arrives in Scorm City's castle as well, reprimanding Scorm, but is unwittingly followed by Scordon Freeman; a spider within the castle contacts Skaulus and Stannis Rax about these events.

* Skaulus Rax leads the Arachnid Alliance armies into the Iron Mountains, to gain more territory and continue his war with the Empire of Balance; after claiming some of the Empire's mountain territory and being contacted about the events in Scorm City, Skaulus takes part of the Spider Army to Scorm City, to eliminate both Scorm and Scrin before the Scorpions find out about their presence; as soon as the Spiders arrive in the throne room, Scordon Freeman attacks Scrin, and the two of them, while fighting, fall into a portal to an unknown dimension; Skaulus captures Scorm, who'd fallen unconscious, and discreetly orders his Spiders to eliminate all Scorpions who knew about Scorm's return, due to their revived King's desire to terminate the Arachnid Alliance; Spalyx Vance uses her new Fire Wing Harness to extract Scorm, and temporarily takes charge of the Forgotten because of Scrin's disappearance; meanwhile, Seris Rax declares Scordon Island an independent nation for the same reason.

* Unichi forces continue their invasion of the Outlands in order to get into Black Fang Mountain, while Skaulus and Stannis Rax initiate another battle with the Empire of Balance, in the Grassy Plains; it is a trap set for Leodus, who is seemingly fatally wounded during the battle; Skaulus attempts to expand the Arachnid Alliance's territory into the Northern Outland Mountains, where Malgus and Lyrix hunt for the Fire Wing Harness Senix had destroyed; Senix and Lycor pursue Malgus and Lyrix, forming a temporary alliance in the process; Skaulus fires warning shots at Senix, Lycor, Malgus, and Lyrix when he sees them fighting in the Northern Outland Mountains; Leodus' temporarily disembodied spirit tells Lycor about Senix's true identity and plan (Leodus, not knowing about the Phoenix Triumvirate, had misunderstood Senix's motives); Lycor kills Senix, and tracks Lyrix, while Malgus re-forges the Fire Wing Harness to fit himself, gaining both fire and ice powers and becoming the Elemental Wizard; Malgus kills Skaulus for his interference, and returns to the Mammoths, apparently devoted now to finding the rest of the Fire Wing Harnesses.

### The Rise of Unichi & the Tribal Summit

* After learning about his father's death, Stannis Rax becomes the Spider King, and ends the war with the Empire of Balance; Scorponok intercepts and attacks Lycor in the Northern Outland Mountains to avenge Scorpix; Lycor blinds Scorponok but leaves him alive, and pursues Lyrix back into the south; after learning that their spy within the Scorpion Tribe was killed by the Spiders, Craunus Maximus and Calloran Fen have the Republic of the Claw join the rest of Unichi in their invasion of the Outlands; the Republic of the Claw drives Scorpio and the returned Scorpia out of Scorm City, finally becoming the governing body of the Scorpion Tribe; much of the Outlands are conquered by Unichi, and the Scorpion Consuls also release an audio recording of their meeting with the late Scorpix, to explain to Chima's populace why they're the rightful leaders of the tribe.

* Lion Elder Lycan becomes the temporary Supreme Regent of the Lion Tribe after King Lavuras' disappearance, and appoints Lyndis and Leon as his chief advisors; Lycan builds up the Lion Tribe's military, wary of the Ice Hunters and the surrounding tribes that aren't part of the Chima Alliance; Lycan sends Lion reinforcements to the Minor Tribes HQ, to help their allies defend against the Sabertooths; while still separated from Razar's Chi Ghost, Razic discovers that his grandfather Rawzome is alive, having faked his death; enlisting the temporary help of Lyrix, Rica has the "ice lion" freeze Radnar, who'd refused to join the war; Rica retakes control of the Raven Tribe, declares the creation of the new Razarian Monarchy (revealing that she'd changed her mind about renouncing it), and takes the Raven forces to Minor Tribes territory; the Sabertooths attacking the Minor Tribes HQ are countered by the combined forces of the Minor Tribes, Lions, and Ravens, before Razic and Razar (his ghost possessing a new body) rendezvous with Rica.

* Scordon Freeman, Scorpio, and Scorpia are captured by Scorm, who'd been rescued from the Forgotten by the extremist scorpions who bombed the Purple City; a Republic spy within this group contacts Craunus Maximus, who sends Scorpion forces to Scorm's small base in the Northern Outland Mountains, to capture the former King; Spalyx Vance tells Lycan about Scorm, and Lycan, considering Scorm a criminal who should be returned to the Lions, sends the rebuilt Lion Air Force to capture him; Spalyx rescues Scordon, Scorpia and Scorpio escape alone, and the Scorpions defeat Scorm's faction, but the Lions capture Scorm (as well as making his resurrection public at Spalyx's request), causing a dispute between the Lion and Scorpion tribes; Craunus Maximus and Scordon Freeman go to the Lion City to discuss the custody of Scorm with Lycan, but after stating his reasoning for capturing Scorm, Lycan explains why he won't hand over the prisoner; the scorpions leave, but Scordon later returns and infiltrates the dungeons where Scorm is being held; Scordon easily breaks Scorm out, unknowing that this was part of Lycan's new plan.

* Galvanor, desiring to learn about his past before he arrived in Chima, eventually flies all the way to Gryphon Island without needing food or rest, due to his "zombie" state; upon avoiding the patrolling Rays and setting foot on the island, his memories of his early life are restored, and Galvanor flies back east, to the Phoenix Isles; thanks to Lycor having earned fire chi for the lion species, the gryphon is able to steal and plug fire chi without passing the Fire Trials, retroactively earning its usage for the eagle species in the process, and reversing his Ice Hunter transformation; he then hides in the Eagle Spire's library, filling himself in on Chima's history, only to eventually be found by the Eagle Councilman and retired General Enoch; Galvanor tells the eagle about his identity, history, and alleged goal to "protect the Eagles and Chima" from the Manta Ray Empire; Enoch agrees to help put the Prince on the throne, taking and giving Galvanor the battle mask of the late Eagle King Erdrik to conceal his face.

* In the Spider Caverns, Stannis Rax meets with Speli Vance, who reveals that he, too, had been reanimated by Scrin, and the two discuss an alliance between the Spiders and Forgotten; now posing as a returned King Erdrik who'd "faked his death" to venture over the sea, Galvanor takes control of the Eagle Tribe, telling them about the existence of the Manta Ray Empire; he's visited by Edessa Cubbage and Eris, representing the Forgotten Eagle Sect; the Sabertooth Tribe's infighting (resulting from Sabradia's recent disappearance) is quelled by Fatalis, who regroups the tribe, soon before Saban returns to Saber Mountain; continuing to act as Erdrik, Galvanor sends out Eagle messengers to all major factions, even the Ice Tribes, proposing a Tribal Summit to discuss the state of affairs; Lycor fails to capture Lyrix, who is taken by Malgus to be reverted back to his original form; the Elemental Wizard attempts to take and "purify" the transformed Tristram as well, but the former Tiger King refuses, and a fight ensues between them in the Valley of Balance; in Southernfell, Badrian Shepard proposes a takeover of the Croc Swamp by the Forgotten and remaining Crocs, who'd sent him a message to request this, soon before Scordon returns to the region with Scorm in tow; Scorpia and Scorpio return to Scorm City and are let in by Praetor Scarabus, who reveals to them the full story of Scorpix and the Republic of the Claw; Scorm himself, having escaped from the Forgotten, then arrives at Scorm City, and Praetor Sirius meets with him, hoping to reach a truce between the now democratic Scorpion Tribe and the former King.

* Vultures and Leopards arrive on the Phoenix Islands to see how Viona has been leading the Phoenix, and try to declare the tribe part of the Empire of Balance, but Viona, pretending to have lost her memories of her life as a vulture, denies them this; the Tribal Summit invitations are received by every tribe, as "Erdrik" briefly meets with Bliston on New Bat Island, to confirm if the Bats know about the Manta Ray Empire; the Vultures, now mistakenly thinking, thanks to Viona, that being "purified" by fire chi can sometimes brainwash an Ice Hunter into thinking they're a Phoenix, elect not to use fire chi to reverse their transformations.

* Malgus defeats Tristram, and reverts him and Lyrix back to their original forms; leaving them on the Isle of Neutrality, a colony founded by Lincoln and his group from the Lion Pastures, Malgus sets off to find more Fire Wing Harnesses; Tristram and Lyrix, found by Leanna Luggington, decide to stay on Lincoln's island; Lyrix and Leanna end up marrying during this time; most of Chima's tribes accept the Eagles' invitation, and their leaders or representatives go to the Bat embassy atop Mount Cavora to attend the Tribal Summit, with the Scorpion Consuls representing Unichi as a whole, and the Sabertoothes, Icebears, and Rhinos not attending; the Ravens represent the Forgotten as well, and the Lions, Ravens, and Minor Tribes represent the Chima Alliance as a whole, with the Bears not attending; at the Tribal Summit, Leodus reveals that Malgus and the Empire of Balance agreed to search for the rest of the Fire Wing Harnesses, to kick-start a Third Great Illumination; "Erdrik" agrees to help in this restoration of the continent's Elemental Balance, and reveals the existence of the Manta Ray Empire to Chima's tribes, explaining his goal to completely wipe out the Rays.

* In Southernfell, the Forgotten, aided by their new allies the Spiders, launch their Croc Swamp crusade, which is actually a "rescue mission" to extract the remaining Crocs (Forgotten volunteers) from between the Wolves and Lions' territories; due to a misunderstanding of the Forgotten's intent, a battle between them and the occupying Wolves and Lions almost occurs; before Spalyx Vance and Lyndis meet in the Croc Swamp, preventing such a battle from happening, Lycan receives word of the Forgotten's "invasion", using that, as well as Scordon's recent war crime of liberating Scorm from the Lions (which Lycan had planned) to oust the Forgotten as a "dangerous private army"; the Tribal Summit goes unexpectedly, as "Erdrik" and Lycan attempt to declare war on the Manta Ray Empire and Forgotten, respectively; immensely frustrated at the Lion Regent, "Erdrik" leaves, bringing the meeting to an abrupt close as the other tribe leaders depart in confusion.

### The Return of the Reincarnations & the Birth of Primordium

* In Scorm City, Sirius succeeds in convincing the now amnesiac Scorm that the former King himself was the founder of the Republic, ending Scorpion Tribe infighting at last; Wol’jin does not attend the Tribal Summit, as he had been overthrown by Lobo, who abolishes the Wolf Tribe’s government, as well as their alliance with the Gorillas and Scorpions; in response, the Gorillas and Scorpions meet and eventually ally with the Forgotten, adding them as the new third faction in Unichi to replace the Wolves; Stannis Rax shows himself to the Scorpion Consuls, revealing that the Spider Tribe had already been allied with the Forgotten; the Spider King says that he will aid Unichi in retaking Crystal Crater from the Icebears, in addition to simply dissolving the Spider Tribe into the Forgotten, if the Scorpions give the Spiders shares of Crystal Crater’s mining profits; the Consuls agree.

* Fal’qar, after escaping captivity, manipulates a returned and mentally unstable Set-Ra into attacking the Eagles, to distract the Phoenix from his escape; “Erdrik” arrives back from the Tribal Summit in time to defeat the Phoenix forces, and Set-Ra retreats; in the Wastelands, the Stinger Brotherhood finally begins to regroup, searching for Scorponok; before they can find their leader, Fal'qar gets to Scorponok first, "awakening" Zarak; summoning the Chi Ghost of their ally Senix/Tenebrae at the Forever Rock, Fal'qar and Zarak discuss what to do next, but are confronted by Lycor and Leodus; Tenebrae and the remaining members of the Phoenix Triumvirate explain how they're trying to prevent a complete Great Illumination, which would reset the universe, but Malgus reveals himself and declares he'll do just that; the Elemental Wizard forces Zarak's soul out of Scorponok's body with magic, preventing the phoenix from reincarnating with his memories intact again; Malgus does the same with Fal'qar and sends Tenebrae back to the Chi Ghost Realm during the ensuing battle, but is eventually defeated by Lycor and Leodus; Malgus is taken into Mammoth custody by his son, while Leodus takes the wizard's former Fire Wing Harness to the Golden City; Lycor meets with Scorponok, who explains how he no longer desires revenge against the lion after summoning and speaking with Scorpix; the Chi Ghost of Scorpix elects to remain in Chima for the time being, and flies off just before the Stinger Brotherhood Scorpions arrive to pick up Scorponok; Malgus II is crowned Mammoth King, while Scorponok begins to build Scorpix City in the Northern Outland Mountains.

* Aided by the Ravens and Lions, the Minor Tribes at last drive the remaining Sabertooths out of their territory, but not before the Sabertooths steal inland tribes technology, in the form of a pack tracker tank the Wolves had provided the Minor Tribes with; at the same time, Lycan sends the entire Lion Air Force to bomb Saber Mountain, since the Sabertooths' southern bases have all fallen, and since Fatalis hadn't attended the Tribal Summit; the Lions don’t succeed in destroying the HQ, since they’re beat back by forces Fatalis and Saban command; meanwhile, just as the Forgotten are leaving the swamp with their volunteers, the rest of the Crocodile Tribe, now led by Sobek, finally returns after being incidentally rescued from Black Fang Mountain by Unichi; Sobek meets with Lyn and Lobo, and the latter agrees to give the Wolves’ half of the Croc Swamp back to the Crocs in exchange for an alliance.

* Set-Ra, back in his right mind, returns to Eagle Spire, apologizes to “Erdrik”, and explains that he’d been usurped by the false Queen Fiona (Viona); “Erdrik” agrees to attack the Phoenix Isles and reinstate Set-Ra as the Phoenix King/Emperor, if Set-Ra allies the Phoenix with the Eagles in return; Set-Ra agrees, and convinces Sobek and Lobo to ally the Crocs and Wolves with the Eagles, forming the new alliance Primordium; after “Erdrik” meets with Vamprah, the Vulture Lord agrees to reveal Viona’s identity to the public, claiming half-truthfully that her takeover of the Phoenix had not been approved by the Vultures; Primordium then attacks the Phoenix Isles, as “Fiona” is reinforced by the Lions, who hope to defeat the Eagle King then and there; during the battle, “Erdrik” kills Lycan, seemingly kills Lycor, and defeats Viona, but not before the former two unmask him; Viona is recovered and returned to the Vultures by Vamprah, and Set-Ra reclaims his title as King/Emperor, adding the Phoenix Tribe to Primordium.

* At the same time, King Finglor returns with the rest of the Sabertooth royal family, retaking control of the tribe; Unichi, in return for the Forgotten’s allegiance, use the Gorilla Fleet to help their new allies start their expedition of the West Sea, however the Bat Fleet stops them from going farther than Balthazar had gone, due to the danger of alerting the Manta Ray Empire; elsewhere on the sea, Lycor, who’d survived the Battle of the Phoenix Isles, ends up on New Bat Island; he meets with Bliston, who reaffirms that the Bats had destroyed the only Manta Ray Empire scout ship that’d ever come near, and the Bat King states that he will side with the Chima Alliance if necessary, to prevent Primordium from starting a potentially devastating war with the foreign Empire; Lycor returns to Lion City, is crowned Lion King by a quick election, and makes a speech to Chima, revealing Erdrik’s true identity as Galvanor the gryphon, and declaring that he will capture the false Eagle King in order to prevent him from invading the Empire and making the Rays aware of Chima’s existence; this officially begins the Second Chima Civil War.

### The Second Chima Civil War

* In response to Lycor's speech, Galvanor makes a public address to Chima, removing his mask and briefly explaining the history of the fallen Gryphon Tribe, and his claim to the Eagle throne; after declaring that he will destroy the Manta Ray Empire before they can destroy Chima regardless of who allies with him, Galvanor immediately has any known dissenters in his tribe (such as former Regent Ewinus) captured before they can fight against his leadership; he grows weary of the Forgotten living in the Eagle lands, keeping constant watch on them, and eventually contacts Set-Ra, convincing the Phoenix King to cut off fire chi shipments to all tribes and factions outside of Primordium; soon after Galvanor's speech, Scorpianus leaves the Forgotten, heading far west and being discovered by the Eagle Triumvirate; the scorpion tells them about Galvanor and recent events (this is likely what spurs the ET to finally venture to Chima), before joining the faction.

* Former President Wol'jin secretly forms the Government Restoration Party with the other Wolves who want to remove Lobo from his seat of power; he contacts Lycor and the leaders of Unichi, who all agree to help him reclaim his presidency and remove the Wolves from Primordium; Wol'jin meets with Ghana, Craunus Maximus, and Leon in the Great Forest to plan this operation; Wol'jin comes up with the idea to use the old tunnel network the Republic of the Claw had dug beneath the Crocodile, Wolf, and Eagle lands to infiltrate Lobo's headquarters; the present Wolves, Scorpions, and Lions put this plan into action, while Ghana returns to Gorilla HQ to report to President Gorvan on the matter.

* Lycor sends Lyndis back to the Crocodile Swamp, along with reinforcements, to secure the Lions' claim to the northern half of the region; however, despite Lyndis seemingly being there to "negotiate", this is actually a plan of Lycor's to draw in and kill Sobek, to remove Primordium of one of its leaders; Whit interrupts the standoff between Lyn and Sobek before the battle can begin, but he quickly leaves, only for Crocodiles led by Queen Carina to arrive, exposing Sobek as a pretender to the throne; Sobek escapes with the Crocodiles in hot pursuit, and after being notified of this, Lycor has the Lions abandon their claim to the swamp; on the western continent of Forneus, the sting ray Straxus leads a small group in defecting from the Imperial Academy, in addition to breaking out Ludwig Luggington; the group accepts the old lion as their leader, who dubs them The Fangs, and informs them of happenings on his continent as they evade the pursuit of the Empire.

* A scorpion hostage, Scodrick, is sent to Saber Mountain by the Icebears to inquire the returned Finglor about the Ice Hunters' alliance; Finglor's wife, The White Lioness, takes a force of Sabertooths to accompany Scodrick to the Outlands, through ancient tunnels below the Iron Mountains; Lycor contacts the Bears, and finds out that Blitz Bridger and Baldemar have both disappeared, leaving the tribe in the hands of General Wotjek, who has merged the majority of the Bears with the Forgotten; Lycor instructs the Bear Commander he talks with to shape the remaining Chima Alliance Bears into a fighting force, and await further orders.

* After finding out about Sobek's usurping and the subsequent removal of the Crocodile Tribe from Primordium, Galvanor calls Set-Ra and Lobo to attack the Lion City with him, in order to eliminate or capture Lycor and end the war; in the Minor Tribes HQ, Petricoff and Fives find out that their leader, Traxx, has abruptly left; they, as well as the Gorillas, are then notified of Primordium's attack on the Lion City; in the Croc Swamp, Carina puts her plan to rescue Crogar into action, and the Crocodiles begin swimming north through Chima's rivers; Carina's army storms an Ice Hunter stronghold in the Arctic, successfully extracting their king; Crogar begins heavily militarizing his tribe, building up all branches of the Crocodile Army; during this time, however, the Sabertooths resume their invasion of the south via guerrilla warfare, kidnapping and freezing citizens of various southern tribes using the Tigers' Ancient Tunnels; when he finds out about the Battle of Lion City, Finglor takes a force of Sabertooths to attack the Lions from behind, coming up into the Lion Castle's chi pool/throne room; elsewhere in the Arctic, Vamprah, after having been told of the events at the Forever Rock by Leodus, attempts to convince King Malgus II into adding the Mammoths to the Empire of Balance, but he is unsuccessful, unaware that the Mammoth King has come up with a very different method of restoring the Elemental Balance.

* During the Battle of Lion City, Galvanor's goal to force the neutral tribes into joining Primordium through the fire chi restrictions backfires, as Unichi, the Empire of Balance, the Bats, and the remaining Alliance Bears join the war to aid the Chima Alliance against Primordium; now exponentially outnumbered, the Phoenix retreat, and the Eagles and Wolves follow suit; the Phoenix return to their isles to find their former allies, the Tigers, confronting them regarding the fire chi restrictions; Set-Ra, returning to using his true name Winslow, realizes how Galvanor had manipulated him, and tells the Tigers he'll remove the Phoenix from Primordium and return to distributing fire chi to all southern tribes; while Bliston is at Lion City, the first Eagle Triumvirate ships arrive at New Bat Island, and are let through the blockade by the Bats, who assume that these Eagles and Tigers are from a joint expedition they'd been unaware of; the ET's scouts go to the mainland, meeting Rinia and aiming to instate her as a puppet Rhino Queen; Lysandre foils an ET plot to assassinate Rixia and Ronegan, by relocating both of them to New Lysandre Labs; however, the ET succeeds in taking over the Rhinos as a result; the Rhino Tribe becomes the ET's first "ally" on the mainland, and Rhino Prince Rorik is found by Eliaphet in an amnesiac state, after being separated from Whit; the ET reach out to Galvanor, but are unable to get in contact with him as he's distracted fighting at Lion City.

* Lobo returns to Wolf City with the battered Wolf Army, only to be ambushed by Wol'jin, Leon, Craunus Maximus, and their respective forces, who'd infiltrated the Government Building through the Republic of the Claw's old tunnels; the Battle of Wolf City is very brief, as Lobo unexpectedly surrenders; Wol'jin, surprised by this, allows Lobo to remain in the Wolf Tribe, under watch; Wol'jin regains his presidency as the Wolf Government is restored, and the Wolf Tribe returns to Unichi; the Wolves remain in Chima to defend the southwest now that the Sabertooths' have resumed their invasion, and Craunus Maximus takes his Scorpion forces to Black Fang Mountain; at Lion City, Lycor's focus shifts to driving out the Sabertooths within the castle; meanwhile, Lyrix returns to the mainland, aiming to avenge his father Lycan by killing Galvanor; Lyrix is "drawn" to Malgus' former Fire Wing Harness, which the lion is destined to don, and he steals the Fire Wings from the Leopards, using them to fly to Lion City and attack Galvanor; the Eagle King manages to escape, however, and Leodus convinces Lyrix to help drive the Sabertooths' out with his newfound power.

### Primordium's Downfall & the Resurgent Stinger Brotherhood

* Scorpions dissatisfied with the Republic's system, ex-Combine and Forgotten Scorpions, and generally leaderless members of the species from across Chima gather to the newly constructed Scorpix City, making new lives as part the Stinger Brotherhood, and growing the faction at a fast rate even as Chima's wars continue outside the Northern Outland Mountains; Scorponok heavily militarizes his faction, particularly its air force, as he prepares to launch a bold attack and annexation of the Phoenix Isles; this is prevented, however, when Scorponok contacts Winslow as a warning, and the Phoenix King confirms that he's ended the fire chi restrictions; Scorponok helps spread the word about this.

* In Black Fang Mountain, now a Unichi stronghold after being seized from the Sabertooths, the Scorpion Tribe and their allies gather to prepare for the inevitable battle with the Ice Hunters; aiming to retake Crystal Crater from the Icebears, Stannis Rax and Calloran Fen gather all the help they can get; they are contacted by Scorponok, who reveals that he and his faction still live, and sends Silas with the Stinger Brotherhood's ready air force to help retake the Scorpion peoples' homeland as a show of good faith; Winslow, following his radio conversation with Scorponok, also arrives with the Phoenix (and a fresh supply of fire chi) to reinforce Unichi in their attack; Vamprah sends another force of Leopards southeast to reinforce Unichi; on New Bat Island, meanwhile, the acting leaders of the tribe are visited by an Eagle Triumvirate delegation headed by Elina; she reveals that the Manta Ray Empire already knows of Chima's existence, claims that Lycor is blocking attempts to mobilize against the Empire, and requests for the Bats to stop supporting the Chima Alliance and join Primordium in combating the Rays; the Bats decline to give an answer in the absence of King Bliston, and are split regarding whether or not to believe her claim about the Rays already knowing of Chima.

* Imperial spy Leonard, despite having been contacted by Leodus and urged to bring the Battle of Lion City to the Forgotten's attention, privately refuses to fight the Eagles, and has a brief mental breakdown due to his tangled allegiances; the lion ultimately decides to side with the Eagles, and, despite failing to prevent the Forgotten's participation in the Battle of Lion City, forms his own plan to end the war with limited eagle casualties; leaving Southernfell, Leonard meets with the Forgotten Eagle Sect, telling them his plan (which he frames as Scordon Freeman's orders) to intercept Galvanor upon the Eagle King's return, dethrone the gryphon, and instate a Forgotten King or Queen through a combination of light force and propaganda, thus presumably ending the Second Chima Civil War; Galvanor arrives before this can happen, explaining that he'd planted listening devices in the Forgotten's local bases; the gryphon reveals to Leonard that he actually is the heir to the Eagle throne, having been the only true son, even if adopted, of the Eagle King 819 years prior, so Leonard sides with Galvanor, cutting ties with the other factions he'd been involved with.

* While Sabradia continues sending various Sabertooth forces for Crystal Crater reinforcement and other planned battles, she sends diplomats to The Frozen Tusk, in hopes of persuading Malgus II to rejoin the Ice Hunters; Scorponok, meanwhile, sends his Scorpions across Chima to find the Fire Wing Harnesses, as the Stinger Brotherhood Headmaster believes the only way to prevent a complete Great Illumination is to obtain and lock away as many of the Fire Wings as possible; elsewhere in the Northern Outland Mountains, Whit, who'd kidnapped Beale, gathers the beaver's friends to negotiate his release, in exchange for Rorik; Whit ends up taking the rhino by force, and knocking out his adversaries; Beale, Eliaphet, and their friends are found by Eagle Triumvirate scouts led by Elina, as the ET begins establishing outposts on Chima's shore; despite Rica's dissolving of New Talon Industries, NTI-aligned Ravens sneak into their former headquarters, thawing out and rescuing Radnar; the Raven Resistance is restored, in opposition to the New Razarian Monarchy; at some point soon after this, Razic usurps his parents and takes control of the Razarians, turning them into a political party that is ironically anti-monarchy; the Razarians leave the Raven HQ in the Iron Mountains (the former New Talon Industries compound), allowing the Raven Resistance to reclaim it.

* Within the Lion Castle, Lyndis and Lynna prevent the Sabertooths from getting to the Lions' fire chi storeroom, and manage to capture Sabrin; a combined force of Lions, Scorpions, and Bats eventually drives out the Sabertooths after an extremely long battle (but not before the Hunters drain the chi pool), and the Bats officially join the Chima Alliance; King Lycor pardons Lyrix for his prior crimes and relinquishes his exile, due mostly to his cousin's new status as a Harness-bearer, while Lycor forms his plan for the Illumination; on the Isle of Neutrality, Tristram decides to return to the Tiger Tribe, and enlists the neutral Lions to ferry him back to the mainland; Calloran Fen returns to Scorm City, where his wife births their daughter Celica Fen; Galvanor finds out about the Phoenix' defection from Primordium, and attempts to contact Lobo, only to be answered by a mocking Wol'jin; realizing that his faction is falling apart, the gryphon aims to ally with the Ice Hunters, and appoints Leonard and Enoch as his dual Supreme Commanders, to replace Lobo and Set-Ra/Winslow; Malgus II reveals his plan to restore the Elemental Balance by wiping out the Phoenix, whose existence had created the Balance in the first place, and so he agrees to ally with the Sabertooths; Malgus the elder, disgusted at this, escapes captivity and surprisingly defects to the Stinger Brotherhood.

* As the Lions and Bats recover from the Battle of Lion City, Lycor and Bliston prepare for a counterattack against Galvanor, and construction of Lycor's definitive mech-tank, the Lio Nemesis, is completed; Lycor knocks out Lyrix, to prevent his cousin from killing Galvanor; in Scorpix City, a no longer vengeance-driven Malgus tells Scorponok about his new plan for a Great Illumination, and Scorponok agrees to it, revealing in turn that the Stinger Brotherhood has acquired three Fire Wing Harnesses, with one present scorpion being a destined wearer; Scorponok goes with that scorpion to Lion City, to meet with the other Harness-bearers, while Malgus plugs fire chi, removing him completely of his "ice zombie" state; on Aether Island, Anastasia Gulikovsky usurps Lusamine and Guzma's leadership of both the island and the Aether Foundation, revealing that the latter was always an extension of the Saviorites; in the Iron Mountains, Whit and Rorik discover that Icerawr has been living in the remains of the Rupture Airship, and the ice bear agrees to train Rorik in combat; following an earthquake on Aether Island caused by the continued Elemental imbalance, Anastasia discovers the Fire Wing Harness that her ancestor had buried, and also finds that she's destined to don it; led by Rinia, the Rhino Army arrives in Lion territory to attack, only to be intercepted by Minor Tribes ninja in the Great Forest.

* A Chima Alliance army of Bats, Lions, and Bears led by Bliston and Lycor assaults Eagle Spire to capture Galvanor, engaging the remnants of Primordium led by Enoch and Leonard; before long, the Alliance and Primordium sides are reinforced by King Crogar's revitalized Crocodile Army, and the Eagle Triumvirate, respectively; on the West Sea, Anastasia Gulikovsky allies with Seris Rax of Scordon Island and Lincoln of the Isle of Neutrality; learning about Scordon Freeman and Spalyx Vance's statuses as fellow Harness-bearers from the former, Anastasia flies to Lion City to meet with them; in the Eagle lands, Bliston destroys the Spire's hangars and kills Enoch, just after the Eagle Triumvirate forces intercept a radio conversation between Galvanor and Enoch, which exposes the former's apathy for the lives of the Eagles; the ET turns on Galvanor and Scorpianus attempts to capture him, but is stopped by the remaining Primordium-aligned Eagles, who are then defeated themselves by the Bats; the Second Chima Civil War ends as Lycor kills Leonard and defeats Galvanor, taking the gryphon prisoner due to his possibly imperative knowledge of the Manta Ray Empire.

### The Hunts Begin

* Despite failing to find Traxx (who has gone into the Arctic), Petricoff and his search party discover one of the Fire Wing Harnesses in the Iron Mountains, and return to Minor Tribes territory with it; in the Northern Outland Mountains, Frosar spies on Scorpix City, where Malgus has helped to implement magic into the city's defenses; in the Rhino lands, a battle for control of the tribe begins while Rinia is away, between the Forgotten, Anti-Forgotten Rhinos, and those wishing to restore the original monarchy using Rorik; after being notified of the Eagle Triumvirate's ceasefire with the Chima Alliance at Eagle Spire, Rinia agrees to leave the Lion territory with her forces; Rinia's Rhinos disappear following this, likely being absorbed by the ET, who also depart from the mainland after the end of the Second Chima Civil War; Wol'jin rebuilds and strengthens the Wolf Army, preparing to defend the south against the Hunters' presumed next invasion; in Black Fang Mountain, Unichi receives reinforcements from the Chima Alliance Bears, and continues its thorough preparation for the final assault to retake Crystal Crater, with a force now comprised of the Gorillas, Scorpions, Bears, Phoenix, Spiders, Forgotten, and the Stinger Brotherhood; in Southernfell, Forgotten guards catch a lion, Lajos, who was being smuggled into the territory; they give chase after he seizes a Scout Buggy.

* During his combat training with Icerawr, Rorik's memories begin to return; Whit manipulates the situation so that Rorik remembers Icerawr as the one who attacked him in the past, and in turn, Rorik fights Icerawr but spares him in the end; being struck with a special type of ice, Rorik is taken by Whit to the Tiger HQ for healing, and they run into Tristram just as he's returning; the Tigers simultaneously celebrate their old King's return and attempt to heal Rorik, but are seemingly unable to do the latter; Anastasia, Scorponok, and their respective groups arrive at Lion City, only to find that Spalyx and Scordon have left; the group meets with Lycor and an angry Lyrix, the former lion explaining that Galvanor needed to be taken alive, and that he's sent Lions to find the missing Harness-bearers; Bliston, remaining at Eagle Spire with most of the Bat and Lion forces to rebuild and work out the Eagles' leadership, meets with Carina, Crogar, and the freed Ewinus; Frosar and his camouflaged group of Sabertooths begin their trek up the ridge where Scorpix City is built, preparing to attack; Petricoff and his party are intercepted on their way to Minor Tribes HQ by Ace and the Sabertooths' royal family in their new Triplane; the Hunters give chase while battling the Minor Tribes' local forces to keep them from coming to the party's aid, and Petricoff attempts to lose his pursuers by driving into Rhino lands.

* As Lycor seeks out Scordon Freeman and Spalyx Vance, Anastasia Gulikovsky and Lyrix go to the Isle of Neutrality, where the former meets in person with Lincoln to solidify their alliance, and the latter visits his wife, Leanna Luggington; Anastasia learns about Ludwig Luggington's mentorship of Lincoln, and his disappearance; in Lion City, Lycor reveals the details of his Realm-Merging Plan to Scorponok and the Harness-bearing scorpion; the two Scorpions agree to go along with Lycor's plan, while secretly still devoted to the Phoenix Mortality Plan; in the Iron Mountains, Rica and Razar are taken before the New Talon Industries compound, their captor being Razic; the former Prince hands his parents over to Radnar, explaining that the Razarians desire a definitive peace with NTI; Razic returns to the Great Desert, intending to rebuild the Raven HQ and solidify the Razarians as a separate, but equal party to NTI; he is once again reunited with Eris, and the two of them use golden chi orbs to create a rough replica of the original HQ; at Black Fang Mountain, meanwhile, the massive allied force finally completes preparations and sets forth, to reclaim the south from the Ice Hunters for good.

* Rhino Administrators Roope and Rhina arrive at Wolf City to request Wol'jin's aid in locating and arresting Whit; Wol'jin agrees to help, and sends the hunter Wicker to take down Whit; at Eagle Spire, Bliston's meeting with the Croc monarchs and Ewinus is interrupted by a small explosion, and he spots the culprit: a ray, who manages to evade capture; Bliston realizes that Rays must've stowed away on the Eagle Triumvirate's ships, in order to get past the Bats and into Chima; Bliston explains this to Ewinus and the Crocs, while the Eagles and Bats hunt for the culprit; Eliaphet, who'd returned to her tribe but hadn't seen the ray, mistakenly believes that remaining Galvanor-aligned Eagles had been behind the terrorist attack; at the Frozen Tusk, the Sabertooths tell Malgus II about their planned attack on Scorpix City, and the Mammoth King agrees to have the Mammoths assist in that battle, moving his mobile HQ east; after Lyrix and the Saviorites leave the Isle of Neutrality, the Sabertooths send their fleet to the Grassy Plains, freezing small coastal settlements in the region who'd been between shipments of fire chi; Bat and Wolf scouts report on this, leading Wol'jin and Commodore Brethil to plan a hunt for the elusive fleet.

### The End of the Elements

* In the Great Forest, Wicker captures and questions a remaining Galvanor-aligned eagle, before following a suspicious group of Rhinos toward Eagle territory; the Eagle Triumvirate comes to Aether Island to discuss joining the Federation of United Colonies; Anastasia agrees, and proposes that a route be mapped between the ET's islands and those closer to Chima's shores, to trade resources and reinforce one another; in the Northern Outland Mountains, the Lion Twinblades that Lycor had sent to find Spalyx and Scordon do so, and also spot the Mammoth force approaching Scorpix City in the process; they warn the Stinger Brotherhood of the enemy's approach; after telling Ewinus and the Crocodile monarchs about the bombing, Bliston regroups the Bats in Eagle Spire and gives up searching for the elusive ray bomber for the time being; the Bats fly back to New Bat Island, where they return to their role as Chima's defense force against the Rays; the allied southern force arrives at Crystal Crater, beginning the assault; the Owls and Frigatebirds reveal their existence to the east, flying to the Phoenix Isles and passing the Fire Trials; while King Winslow is away at Crystal Crater, the Phoenix Senate elects Commander Phionon as Regent, and he allies the Phoenix with the Eagle Triumvirate against the Ice Hunters and Rays; the ET returns to the mainland (now with fire chi and the Owl-Frigatebird forces) and attacks the Sabertooths' new outpost in the Iron Mountains, aiming to capture Finglor's wife, The White Lioness.

* After his route to the Rhino lands is cut off by the Sabertooths, Petricoff throws the Fire Wing Harness into a rushing river in the Minor Tribes territory, to prevent the Hunters from seizing it; Finglor has the Sabertooth Triplane continually create ice blocks in the river ahead of the Fire Wing Harness, slowing its movement; he also launches a full assault on Minor Tribes HQ with the regrouped Sabertooth Air Force, and Petricoff's party returns to defend the town; in Southernfell, the fugitive Lajos races toward the main city, as the Forgotten border guards continue to give chase; Crogar and Carina eventually depart from Eagle Spire with most of their forces, but leave a Crocodile military presence behind to help Ewinus with reorganizing the Eagle Tribe; Ewinus founds a new Ruling Council for the Eagles; the now combined Wolf and Bat force led by Brethil sails north in search of the Sabertooth Fleet; Eliaphet and a healed Rorik arrive at Minor Tribes HQ to assist their friends there, and Petricoff calls Radnar and Leodus for additional reinforcements; the subsequent arrivals of small Lion and Imperial forces headed by Lycor and Leodus take the Sabertooths off guard, and the attackers are further scattered by an explosion of energy, when the destined Rorik finds and dons the Fire Wing Harness in the river; Whit, who'd arrived to kill Rorik, is incinerated by the blast, and the Sabertooth royals flee to an unknown location in their Triplane.

* On the West Sea, the Sabertooths ambush Brethil and Wol'jin with both their modern ships and their ancient wooden ships, but the Bat-Wolf force quickly decimates the latter fleet; in the Northern Outland Mountains, the forewarned Stinger Brotherhood catches the attacking Mammoths by surprise with their defense, and Malgus the Elder intentionally makes his presence clear to Malgus II, who orders the Sabertooth squad to capture his father alive; Frosar departs and leaves a sabertooth in command of that squad for unknown reasons; during the Battle of Crystal Crater, the Sabertooths secretly stationed in the Outlands march to reinforce the Icebears from the north, but are stopped by the Leopard Air Force that Vamprah and Leodus had sent; the Sabertooths are eventually defeated and pushed out of the south by the Leopards, retreating to Saber Mountain; in the Icebears' northern command center, generals Ike and Iceslash control half of the city's defense; the Chi Ghost of Scorpix possesses Ike, immediately killing Iceslash and beginning to sabotage the Icebears' defense with intentionally bad strategies; he is eventually stopped by the Icebears and sent back to the Chi Ghost Realm, after meeting with and motivating Craunus and Stannis.

* In Scorpix City, Malgus the Elder fakes his death at the hands of the Sabertooths, causing Malgus II to have a mental breakdown; the Mammoth King turns on the Sabertooths to avenge his last remaining family member, and has the Mammoth Army leave the region after destroying Frosar's former squad, charging into the Arctic to attack Saber Mountain and wipe out the species; in the absence of the Sabertooth royals, former Mammoth Princess Maulisa takes complete control of the remaining Sabertooths and Mammoths in Saber Mountain, declaring herself Queen of the North; she defends the HQ against Malgus II's force whilst attempting to retake leadership of the Mammoths from him, and vulture scouts report to Vamprah about this fracturing of the Ice Hunters; in Minor Tribes lands, the Sabertooths are routed, and Petricoff repairs the HQ while Lycor, Leodus, Rorik and his friends discuss the search for the last Harness-Bearer; the Leopard Druids also save Whit at the behest of Rorik, and the Wolves take him back; in the Icebears' city, the anti-air turrets are all successfully webbed-up by the Spiders, and the Phoenix and Stinger Brotherhood forces begin their air raids; the fake Praetor Scarabus, his "phantom", is killed by the Icebears, while the real Scarabus tunnels beneath the city with his own force, carrying out Operation Phantom Pain.

* Stannis is fatally wounded by an icebear's sword slash due to having fire chi plugged, and the last Spider King reveals to Craunus that this was his intention, ending the Spider Tribe's constant usurping over kingship and guaranteeing their absorption into the Forgotten; Scarabus tunnels into Iroquois' command room and engages the Icebear King in battle; both Inika and Iroquois disappear by the end of the battle, the latter having fallen underground while fighting Scarabus; left without a King and with their city destroyed, the Icebears retreat toward Saber Mountain under the command of Ike; Craunus proposes the "Scorpio-Rax Company" to honor both the past and Stannis' sacrifice, and to oversee Crystal Crater's mining from then on; the Scorpions vote, with the Scorpixian Republicans in favor of the company, and the Starsting Reformists in favor of direct Unichi control over Crystal Crater; the former party wins out, and the semi-autonomous Scorpiorax Corporation, comprised of Scorpions, Spiders and any other miners from Unichi tribes, is established, taking control of Crystal Crater.

* In the Minor Tribes' lands, Lycor realizes that he and Leodus already know the identity of the eighth Harness-Bearer: Malgus; the Eagle Triumvirate armies break off their battle in the Iron Mountains, in favor of attacking Fingir's Cove while the Sabertooth Fleet is preoccupied fighting the Bats and Wolves; the ET forces eventually defeat the Sabertooths there and claim Fingir's Cove; the ET's leaders meet and, like Vamprah, plan to use the attack on Saber Mountain to their advantage; Maulisa addresses all forces at Saber Mountain, promising to end the Fire—Ice Wars if they help to stop Malgus II; the Vultures and ET shift their focus to attacking the Frozen Tusk; inside the mobile HQ, former Mammoth Queen Maulryene finally awakens from her coma and observes the situation, but is still weakened by her illness and unable to kill Malgus II; in Scorpix City, an injured Malgus the Elder combines spells in order to remotely control his chi aura, sending it west to extract Malgus II; it does so just in time, rescuing the Mammoth King as Maulryene uses all her power to destroy the Frozen Tusk from the inside with a magic storm, seemingly sacrificing herself to save Maulisa, who in turn calls for a ceasefire whilst Ike's group arrives; with the Sabertooth Royals having disappeared and Iroquois and Malgus II both presumed dead, all the present Sabertooths, Icebears and Mammoths swear loyalty to Queen Maulisa, who declares an end to the Fire—Ice Wars, and for the Ice Hunters to be restructured into the United Northern Kingdom; Maulisa agrees to the Eagle Triumvirate's proposition for another Tribal Summit after learning that the ET has conquered parts of the Arctic, and Vamprah offers for the Vultures to mediate in working out the ET and UNK's territorial split.

## The Oceanic Wars: 0—30 Years AR (After Roleplay)

### 0—17 AR

* At some point during or after the events of the Roleplay, an incomplete Great Illumination is enacted, permanently restoring the Elemental Balance by removing fire chi, the Fire Wing Harnesses, and the Ice Hunters' powers (as well as their physical transformations) from Chima; the Phoenix may or may not have returned to Chima's sun following this, and the magic used by the Mammoth Mages, Leodus, Sabradia, and the Leopard Druids remains, minus any element-related abilities, and with the magic users' "immortality" removed; Scorm's immortality is also removed, and Scorponok's vision is restored.

* Guzma is elected Gorilla President in 11 AR, and his term lasts until 15 AR.

* Gorvan is re-elected Gorilla President in 16 AR.

### 18—27 AR

* Celica Fen joins the Stinger Brotherhood when she marries Scorponok's son, Scorion, in 20 AR; their daughter, Solaris Fen, is born later that year.
