A Diagram of Auberean's History
By A Learned Sage
Excellent! You're taking a look at my sketch of Auberean's history, I see. Quite a bit has happened here, wouldn't you agree? Sometimes makes you think you might someday begin to understand why this little world is so important. Why, I, myself, have this theory... Ah, no, never mind - that might be a bit much for you, right now. Perhaps we'll discuss that a bit later. Don't want to overwhelm you at the outset!
Now, do you notice those Empyrean ages, on the right-hand side of the sketch? They're the various ages, as decreed by the Yalaini Emperor. Oh, the Yalaini? Well, they were an Empyrean culture, one of the most dominant. Asheron is Yalaini - in fact, a distant cousin of the Imperial family. Or so the texts say.
Between those ages, you'll note, I've written in important events.
Ah. You're wondering what those Portal Year numbers mean, aren't you? Well, there've been so many different calendars used here that sometimes even I was confused when I was beginning to assemble these texts! Just trying to match the years up with the years on Ispar was difficult enough, so I decided to number them using our Portal Year system. Portal Year 0 was when our Queen, Elysa Strathelar, killed the Olthoi Queen, freeing our people from slavery. The dates listed are either forward or backward from that date. If the calendar year or perhaps a date from our history was important, I tried to include it in the text as well.
Oh, enough now - I'm a doddering old man who's already taken up enough of your time... Read, read!
