Partial Timeline of Events

The name given by the Eldritch to the period between the end of the Chatcaavan War and the beginning of the next conflict. This is both an in-canon term (used by the characters) and a meta term (used to group the books that take place during this period).

Canonical Overview

Partial Timeline of Events, Extended

Origin

A combination of the words 'fallow' (to lie unused/uncultivated for a period to restore) and 'tide' from the Old English (a point or portion of time, due time, period, season). The Eldritch constructed it so because they still use words like 'eventide'.

Notes here about what the characters have said about this period; who began it? Who decreed it? Who was the first to use the word? Someone did.

Events

Probably should draw out a timeline here.

Major

The major events in the Eldritch sphere include:

wedding of the imperial heir, Sediryl, to Jahir Seni Galare
investiture of Sediryl Galare
formation of the Eldritch Navy
establishment of several mining concerns in the asteroid belt
establishment of an allied military base with the Chatcaava
establishment of Faulfenzair embassy on Escutcheon (should list this somewhere, and detail the people assigned there)
first state visit of the imperial heir to Chalice
the events of Surela's trilogy

Note the major events that happen among the Chatcaava as well.

various rebellions the Emperor puts down with Lisinthir's help

Canonical - Detail

This period of extreme growth and unrest lasts about 7 years, starting from the end of the First Chatcaavan War.

Escutcheon

Escutcheon and its immediate solar system undergo the most dramatic changes during this period (which will probably later be given some appellation, a la Renaissance). Liolesa's primary focus is the fortification and preparation of the planet to defend itself; her secondary (though urgent) ones involve the education and feeding of her people, and the update of the Eldritch infrastructure. As a ruler must, she has delegated large chunks of these tasks to her vassals, but even her enemies are serving her purpose during this period.

Reese's Dominion (horses, goods, biotech/population boom, Guardkin) - Forecourt, Acorn, the Earthrise

Jeasa's Dominion (multispecies education schools) - Seni Village, Ingleside, Aeremina/Fostering

Sediryl's Dominion - farming changes, Chalice oversight

Imthereli - Village, Hunting Lodge (Evelis, Attendant, Othise, the new tenants that moved from Nase)

Emplacements - Outermost Wing, other defense platforms

Mining/Asteroids/Spaceborne Industry

Groundport expansion

Chalice

Manse (horses, trees)

Village - Harat-Shar/Tam-illee/Eldritch
