The birth of Keiju, the First of the Fey, "the one who walked alone". Born from chaos and imagination.
The current iteration of Fey history.
At the most ancient limits of thought, the era known as the Dawn of The Fey consists of fragmentary incidents in the deep past when the first Fey were born as archetypes around the camp fires of the first peoples in neighbouring evolutions, isolated in the Discontinuum with no realm to call their own.
The origins of the ritual of Lost Memory are found somewhere in the Age of the Dawn of the Fey. They started from a psychological necessity for an immortal being to forget ancient memories to make room for new ones. The Unelmien Lapset had to devise their own conscious techniques for achieving this, inventing recorded history to hold on to the personal memories they needed to discard. Only much later in the Age of Lost Memory would these practices be ritualised in a communal form by the Veren Lapset.
In which the coming together of a scattered people established the foundational culture of the Fey.
Merch Gyntaf is the first daugher, the child of the first mother, Mam Gyntaf and first father Tad Cyntaf and the first of the Veren Lapset, the Children of Blood. After her birth there was a profound shift in the nature of the local Discontinuum and from that point forward there were no more direct creations of fey from chaos and the Unelmien Lapset began to die out, to be replaced by the Children of Blood
Telynor Melysaf established the first festival of song, a tradition that became an important unifying focus for the scattered wanderers of the fey in this age.
The fey begin to establish a settled culture in the realm they will later call the Fey Court and claim as their own.
How the Fey established their rule in the realm of the Fey Court in a number of early conflicts.
This is the start of the first Fey Royal Lineage. Dovrim Lauram declares himself the first King of the Fey with Acynte Hequindos as his queen.
The Frost Giants arrive in the realm of the Fey Court and there is an early conflict between the races, won decisively by the fey.
The Binding Rock stands in the centre of the land of Tân y Gwanwyn and it was here that Dovrim Lauram ordered the building of the Seat of the King, the original capital city of the fey in the realm of the Fey Court.
Jäätynyt Ovi is the fortress of the Frozen Door and was built to keep watch on the northern lands of the Frost Giants.
The first Rift War began when an opening was accidentally created which established a long lasting link between the Fey Court and a chaotic realm within the Fever Dream. This led to a confrontation with a terrifying foe known as the Glass Monsters.
Marissa Moulin was caught unawares when she was travelling through the Wood of Old Desires and slain by an oubreak of Glass Monsters during the First Rift War.
A disaster for the fey, when the fortress of Läntinen Vartiotorni was destroyed in an infamous battle from the First Rift War, which also resulted in the death of the First King of the Fey Dovrim Lauram.
Acynte Hequindos orders the construction of the White Tomb in the far north of the Fey Court to be the burial site of her consort the first King of the Fey, Dovrim Lauram.
The First Rift War concludes with the successful defence of the realm of the Fey Court, due to the exceptional bravery of Batai Pollock who was able to close the rift with the aid of his partner Telynor Melysaf and the power of song magic.
Acynte Hequindos was slain by a jealous former lover who had thought to rule beside her until she rejected him. She was buried in the White Tomb and her son Cenwyn Drach, became king thereafter.
Caer Cathasach, which some call the New Castle was build to replace the lost fortress of Läntinen Vartiotorni and strengthen the western defences of the heartlands of the Fey Court.
The palace of Shaldarenen is constructed on the river Shall in the Great Circle Woods to be used initially as a woodland summer home for fey royalty away from the Seat of the King.
The second Frost War is the last of the First Wars and the last conflict to be fought against the cold foes of the far north. In many ways it was a defeat for the Fey since much of the land they had formerly considered their own, including the site of the White Tomb ended under the control of the Frost Giants. But there were limits to the extent that the Frost Giants could progress in the south and the signing of the Isotherm Treaty brought an end to the fighting between the races which has lasted to the present day.
The Isotherm Treaty with the Frost Giants and Ice Sprites marks the end of the age of the First Wars. The Treaty ceded substantial lands in the north to the Frost Giants, including the site of the White Tomb which they promised to respect as a sacred site for the Fey. The fortress of Jäätynyt Ovi was designated as marking the border line and both sides agreed that they would not seek to cross this line, save only on those rare occasions when the fey went north to bury their kings and queens at the White Tomb.
A long relative peace that followed the end of the First Wars
The Castle of Flowers was built to defend the south of the realm against a threat that never materialised.
Ogidigbo Arthoom was the seventh ruler of the fey and when he died near the beginning of the Age of Lost Memory, the fey sought a new way to combine the expression of collective grief with the periodic need to clean old memories and they held the first of the rituals of Lost Memory that would become a standard part of their traditions.
The rules of royal succession are changed to favour queens over kings. Shaldarenen becomes the new fey capital and the High Seat of the King is abandoned.
The fey broke off their formal alliance with the kingdom of Snowbourne in the realm of Magicians' End in spectacular fashion, bringing the mortal magicians and their allies to ruin.
From the start of the reign of Akasuki Ellethra to the present day
The intent was to find out more about disturbing information arising from the scrying of seers in the Fey Court.
Sinrhyme Maddon is the sole survivor of the expedition led by Aeronwen Gweledydd and his return in the reign of Bronwyn Glathkind is not enlightening since he has lost his reason and commits suicide shortly after returning to the Fey Court alone.
Cyllell was the best known exponent of a melancholic style of introspective music which she made popular during the reign of Iceina Lanti.
Quathooma Xinva succeeds her mother as Queen following Iceina Lanti's relatively sudden death from rapid onset Fade
Telberon is deposed and imprisoned in Hen Tŵr Gwyn in the aftermath of an infamous trial in which it emerges that he was responsible for his father's disappearance.
Following the disgrace and imprisonment of his brother, Telberon, Oberon is aclaimed as King of the Fey. This is a controversial action, since some Fey hold that the line of royal descent should not have been broken and that Lathkelle ought to have been appointed as a regent for Jassindra.
The Second Rift War is the most serious invasion of the Fey Court since the First Rift War back in the Age of the First Wars and it is an existential threat to the realm.
Oberon and Titania closed the Rift in a titanic battle at Caer Cathasach. Oberon was killed and Titania went missing, possibly killed or possibly lost in the deep Discontinuum.
