Spread of Tumeyi

## Introduction

Tumeyi started in approximately 4000 BCE, and slowly evolved to become the religion it is today.

## 4000 - 3600 BCE (The growth phase)

The Tahara mountains. Six thousand years ago. In the eastern Tahara mountains, a group of lucid dreamers reported messages that they were receiving in their dreams. They spread the news, and by 4000 BCE it covered a small area. It spread west and north, and within two centuries it was established on the south shore of Lake Vaedal. However, skeptics pushed back the western side in about 3730 BCE. At almost the same time, though, the southern Vaedal Plateau became Tumeyi. At the end o the growth phase, 3500 BCE, it was well established in a roughly north-south line, stretching from the Tahara mountains in the south, around the lake, and to the south, middle, and northeast Vaedal Plateau.

## 3600-3200 BCE

The Tahara mountains started to become Tumeyi, and in 3308 BCE an earthquake struck on the east side of the lake, causing people to go from there outwards. Also, (on the offhand), two other religions started that were insignificant at the time, but would later become a threat.

## 3200-2900 BCE (The eastshift phase)

As the name implies, over these three centuries the area of influence of the religion spread east. This happened because of the new Vaedal tribes overtaking the west. This period ended by about 2900 BCE, when the spreading of Nikaism from the south reached the eastern Vaedal plateau, starting the die-off of Tumeyi in the Vaedal plateau.

## 2900-2400 BCE (The Vaedal conquests)

Tumeyi started to shrink in the Vaedal plateau. At the same time, though, it started spreading through the Rona desert, reaching the southeastern Datco valley by the end of this period. By the end, though, it was completely gone from the Vaedal plateau. Nevertheless, it also spread throughout the Tahara mountains and the northern Jai plains. The aftershocks of this phase lasted for more than a century afterwards, as it disappeared from the areas immediately south of the Vaedal lake. In addition, another religion started in the Ibyllian peninsula.

## 2400-2000 BCE (The early revival phase)

The western and central Rona Desert was uninhabited due to the lack of rain. However, in 2409 BCE a large flood occurred, leaving the area in over a meter of water. When it dried, leaving large lakes in its wake, followers of Ibity from the south came to inhabit the new lands, and Tumeyi started to expand further. It went north from the central area at first, and also spread around Vaedal Lake.

## 2000-1700 BCE (The late revival phase)

Tumeyi, over the course of three centuries spread to the southeastern Vaedal plateau. The rest remained mostly the same.

## 1700-1500 BCE (The static phase)

This is exactly what the name implies; it stayed the same for a period of two centuries, while other religions were having large upheavals.

## 1500-1000 BCE (The change phase)

Up until about 1330 BCE the eastern Vaedal Plateau was converted in a large wave, but was supressed just as quickly in 1287-1239 BCE due to the spread of Nikaism. The final change from 1120-1011 BCE was the wave of conversion in the central Rona Desert. After that, 1000 BCE, is the final snapshot point for all religions, and is Tumeyi today.
