1533 BI	The Scottish Confederacy bands together the geeants, the four races of humans, the turhys, and the dratchma. A peach human Geheris Scott is the first prime minister.

1000 BI	The Turhys believe they have come to an evolutionary dead end. The Ancient, eldest of the Turhys, is convinced by his oldest advisor – Lord Fier – to use the combined power of the Turhys to create change in them. The Ancient agrees, and summons 100,000 of the Turhys on the continent of Seefell. They do create change, and the Gnarrhys is born. It kills or changes the Turhys, including Lord Fier. The Ancient and eight others survive, but even they are changed. They are no longer immortal. They start to age very slowly. An arm of the Gnarrhys gains sentience and takes the form of the Father of the Dathrhys and sweeps across the continents, destroying almost all of the organized civilizations.
750 BI	The Father of the Dathrhys Spawns, giving birth to the four Gnarrhys Lords – Vampyre (the First), the Second, the Third, and Savaron (the Knife Thrower, the Fourth). The four Gnarrhys Lords instinctively hate each other, and are sent far from each other.

400 BI	Vampyre creates the first nine vampires, each of whom becomes the first of their race, including Sithnar (Sithnarn), Lilitu (Garillian), Amaralina Darren (Izdorian), Gyshouto (Imiati) , Nights’maron (Goth), Andris Chase (Dewyn)
290 BI	100 Sithnarn vampires track the Turhys down. The vampires are driven off by the animals in the area and the magic of the Turhys. Sithnar’s children are reduced in number from 100 to 22. In thankfulness, the Turhys create the first animen, including the avians (bird people), the ursan (bear people), the lobos (wolf people), the chatara (cat people), and the minotaur (cow-people) In the following three millennia, more animen appear as the last Turhys change them as well.
248 BI through 230 BI	The nine Turhys and the mithril working dratchma (dwarves) of Scottlund create the Nine Items of Light: The Ancient creates the Diamond Sabre; Dharrius, the father of the darrhys, creates the Basalt Mace; Cohl, father of the shandrhys, creates the Ruby Katana; Androse, father of the fehrhys creates the Copper Shield; Shana, mother of the shandrhys, creates the Golden Rod; Fedra, mother of the Fehrhys, create the Emerald Claymore; Vahn, father of the vanrhys, creates the Sapphire Halberd; Vagna, mother of the darhys, creates the Indigo Axe, and Sessa, mother of the vahnrhys, creates the Amethyst Tomahawk.
