Chronicles of the Spellborn Timeline Update

The latest update to the Chronicles of the Spellborn timeline has been added to the site. The Age of Expansion gets its third look in the latest article which you can read below.

Age of Expansion (Part 3):

- 532 AC: A fragment with a gigantic floating temple appears near Quarterstone. From within the Princess of Skulls and her army attack the five High Houses. They try to survive the onslaught as waves of enemies come their way. A bloody war erupts lasting for years.

- 534 AC: Graidlon Marrow, Champion of Torque, uncovers the Oracle down in the very heart of Quarterstone. In order to learn the teachings of the Oracle as much as possible, a new order is founded: the Veridan. Parallel to this event, Graidlon Marrow becomes the first human to be granted an Ancestral Dream by the Oracle and within the Dream's displacement of time and space is told of the Princess of Skulls and the means to defeat her.

-535 AC: Graidlon calls to him four Champions of the other Houses. Together they venture to the Scoured Citadel by Vhelgar steed. Once there, Graidlon and the Champions venture deep into the structure while it flies off into the Deadspell Storm. Neither Graidlon nor the Princess of Skulls and her Scoured Citadel are ever seen again. Though it is unknown what has happened to them, it is still very possible that they roam the Deadspell Storm...
Graidlon's selfless act and that of his four companions made it possible for the High Houses to survive. In honour of those true Champions, the five High Houses forged a new alliance to guide their people and protect them from whatever would roam the Deadspell Storm. This was the birth of the Enclave of the Five Sacrifices.

Princess of Skulls: From the few reports ever written about her, she's an enormous demonic entity grafted from pale skin, wrapped around what seemed to be a horrid animated skeleton. Long black nails and long, sickeningly yellow hair complement the rags she wears. The only thing out of place is the brilliant crown on her head.

Scoured Citadel: An enormous temple on a floating fragment from which the Princess of Skulls commands her undead creatures. It can navigate freely through the Deadspell Storm and has not been seen since the five House Champions entered it and the entire structure flew off into the depths of the Deadspell Storm.

Graidlon Marrow: The first human to talk to the Oracle, and the first of the order of the Veridan. He was also the first to be granted an Ancestral Dream and was posthumously named the founder of the Enclave after he and his companions did not return from the Scoured Citadel. To the people of the Enclave there is no greater hero than Graidlon Marrow.
