Summer
May, June, & July

Summer turns Genil into a shining jewel, the streets becoming white hot at the peak of the season during the mid-afternoon hours. Most citizens make for the river and various pools created by its offshoots. There isn't often drought in the White city, but when rain is scarse, grass and other abundant plants begin to die out. This summer, however, will be filled with violent rainstorms for the region, with the slight chance of mudslides in lower lying areas outside of the city. In Nureese, the blackened streets absorb the heat and the city becomes a hot, muggy mess of humity and the same showers that land in Genil. Acid rain becomes a threat to those who can feel it, burning the flesh of those not protected during the brief downfalls. When the sun does come out, it will almost always be seen through a haze of smog and other fumes that the city produces. Anarab has little change during the summer months aside from a vivacious growth in the plant life and wildlife in the desert itself. The houses built specifically for their protection against the sun in this area aid the inhabitants in staying cool. Several oasises also spring up during this time, for whatever reason brings them to the area.

Genil's Timeline

Year 305
Jan, 305 - Crystal Disappears from Genil
June, 305 - Nureese and Anarab attack. Genil is only mildly prepared.
Jul, 305 - Lumen is lost.
Oct, 305 - Koltana is lost.
Nov, 305 - Kentaro is lost.
Dec, 305 - Nuki is lost.
Year 306
Jan, 306 - Morrigan is beaten. The last Elder of Genil is fallen, and Nureese and Anarab ransack Genil. Most just leave afterward.
Feb, 306 - The survivors of Genil drive the remaining forces out of the city. The only elder left in the city is Morrigan, and she is branded a traitor and the people suspect her of allowing the dark forces to get through. She stays in the city despite, but lays low.
Year 307
Mar, 307 - Crystal Returns to Genil, but is rebuffed. The white city feels betrayed by the elders and does not extend trust to them. There is a large fuss about her, and then she disappears into the obscurity of her household, broken. Morri watches nearby, but is not any more welcome.
May, 307 - Kentaro returns and erects a temple to his goddess outside of Genil's borders, unwelcome in the city by the people. Though he is at first as shunned as everyone else, the more angry of the people of the white city begin to enjoy his preachings.
Year 311
Jan, 311 - Crystal decides to rebuild, and she's going to stick to it this time, no matter what the people say behind her back. Kentaro sees her for the first time since they have both returned. Morrigan loses her right eye in a fight with a demon and mysteriously goes missing a week or so afterward. Crystal is pregnant and expecting sometime in June.
May, 311 - After the tragedy with Morrigan and her disappearance, the people of Genil are starting to realize that the Elders may not be any different than them. Crystal is recognized for guidance, and has taken hold of the reigns once more.

Nureese's Timeline
305 02/12/305 He, the leader of the Schism Saints, senses weakness growing in Genil with disappearance of Crystal. Somehow, news travels fast and the wheels are put into motion for the assault of Genil. The city of Nureese realizes its chance to take its pride back from Genil and gain control of the entire area by doing so. 03/00/305 The Month of the Prophets. Forty-three prophecies are given by Schism Saints, rallying together citizens of Nureese into a cohesive fighting force, vampires and other creatures alike. Three of the prophecies occur in Anarab by Schism Saints who travel there from Nureese, forging alliances with the organization there known as the Collection. Wonder and bloodlust bring the two cities together, though they stay wary of each other. 06/00/305 The Legions of Strife (Armies of Nureese) march on Genil with forces from Anarab, war begins. The first wave is destructive, but is repressed; however, the Legions continue to chip away at the exterior of Genil for several months. 11/00/305 Back at home, an attempted coup by humans to seize Nureese while the main force is away at war, is quashed, distrust of that race grows steeply within the Saints. Many humans are lost in the battle, but the forces of the gang stay strong with hardly any casualties. The humans are quieted and life in Nureese returns back to normal after the squabble. 306 01/13/305 Legions of Strife celebrate victory against Genil and ransack city. Most return home to Nureese and are hailed as heroes. Popularity of Schism Saints grows out of control, spreading to almost all citizens of the city. Those who do not favor the gang join merely for the protection of their families and loved ones. 02/23/306 Survivors of Genil drive out remainder of Legions of Strife, but they return home possessing much more than they left with. Questions are raised about the special interest item from Genil but little is known about it, it was obviously not discovered during the war, though it was looked for. 08/00/306 Month of the purge :: 71 Schism Saints were hailed as heroes of the war, some are executed by a single prophet to weed out the glory-seekers. There are heroes left, however, vampires and other creatures that weren’t alarming to Him and seemed dedicated to His cause. Those who keep their mouths shut and do not appear power hungry are left alone. Nureese continues to thrive after this time, their pockets full of Genilian gold. BR>

Anarab's Timeline
Year 305 June, 305 - The war on Genil begins with much enthusiasm and a lot of denial.
Year 306 Jan, 306 - With victory grasped, Anarab pulls out with many hollers of glory. The leaders are regarded as heroes.
Year 308 Jan, 308 - The last of the war's heroes is assassinated as a recurring theme for Anarab. No idols stand anymore.
Jul, 308 - The Donia emerges, and the collection takes its stranglehold on Anarab.

Koltana Koltana Elder Eight of 12 Disappeared. Wanted, dead or aliiiive But preferably alive Posts: 2 (7/9/07 8:04 pm) Reply	Lost in the Darkness (Pain Redefined) [1-8-311] January 8, 311 "I AM NOT A MONSTER!" The scream echoed throughout the subterranean cavern. Even though his voice was hoarse with the repeated argument, Koltana found the power to scream again. He didn't even sound human anymore. I supposed that is a blessing more than a curse--it will drive off anyone trying to find me... He slumped to the ground, his breath scalding his burdened throat as he breathed those heavy breaths. Another hand found his shoulder, and Koltana's eyes kept to the ground, not willing to look up at his verbal assailant, "Oh, yes.... Keep screaming! It won't be long before news of the monster in these caverns makes it to Genil... and you know who will come to investigate the disturbance...?" A vicious grin spread over those lips that Koltana refused to look at, and Koltana felt the unreal breath against his ear as the other dipped down to press those lips right up close to his lobe, "And what do you think Morrigan will do when she finds the source of all... those.... deaths?" The voice let it linger in the air, emphasizing each word as a curse upon the Elder slumped lifelessly against the floor. "Shut up. You don't know what happened that day..!" Again, Koltana was threatened by his rage--that anger welled up inside of him to a frightening boil. The other in the room slipped away from him, concern on its face. He couldn't have Koltana's anger outweighing his sorrow, after all. "Oh? I don't know, do I?" The hiss of its voice came through those smiling lips, "Let's find out--shall we?" Artist's fingers raised into the air and drew a snap from the friction created on his thumb and index finger. Sparks flew, and burned away reality to release an orb into his hand, clear crystal like the ones you see in fortune-telling shops. "Are you curious?" It turned, the black of its movements fading into the shadows. In his mind, Koltana painted it black, and it threw the orb to him. He caught it, holding the orb before him as he stared into it with an unease granted only by knowledge, "You know what it is, don't you?" The smirk in its words matched the one on its lips, "It's a memory harvester. I just so happened to create it on the day of the incident--Shall we take a peak into their memories?" The light and strength in Koltana's eyes began to whither before the images shown inside the orb's center. Good. Give in to your despair... then this body will be all mine. "That's right... you know better than anyone; their memories don't lie... and guess what? They are screaming curses at the monster that stole their second chance from them!" Only a matter of time... then you'll be all mine, Koltana. I'll have my fill of slaughter and screams one day soon. "Well... for now, I'll leave you to your dear, sweet memories." It turned from him, it's lithe frame and glaring eyes gone from his mind as it began to walk away. "They're looking for you..." The hiss was soft, and Koltana didn't process it, "You were seen. When they find you, will it be you, Koltana, or I that kills them? Shall we play a game... and find out?" He disappeared then, walking even out of Koltana's sight into the dark recesses of the caverns. Koltana sat there with his eyes lost inside the center of that orb, as that dark day replayed over and over again, but no matter how hard he looked, he could not find the man who had been tormenting him since he had come here... He looked hard and changed his focus--someone had held the orb that night... but it was... Me? How could I have been holding it... there is only one me... right? He looked up after the man who had walked away. A phantom? They're looking for you... You were seen. When they find you, will it be you, Koltana, or I that kills them? Shall we play a game... and find out? "Oh... god..." Morrigan was coming. What would come of her appearance? Would she kill him for what he had done? Would he.. kill her? The consequences rolled through his mind with the tears of regret to accompany them as the silence and peace of sleep took him. Edited by: Koltana at: 7/9/07 8:07 pm
