New Ngisikaa
Population Migration / TravelUnknown to the other sentients, a shift in ocean currents has brought a boom of nutrients to the northern Ngisikaa settlement. There are more of the non-sentient creatures than the sentients can control, and the herd has split, some of them migrating southward toward more inhabited areas. They need a new memory storage location.

The Final War
Military actionAn army of discontented Uchafumlaji tunnels into the center of Kuhifadi territory, erupting just as a Kuhifadi army, led by mages, marches to the nearest surface exit of the Uchafumlaji tunnel network. At nearly the same time, the mass of migrating Ngisikaa arrive from the norther memory storage location, led by a small clique of sentient Ngisikaa. The Ngisikaa have found a way to absorb much of the energy released by a rupture of the Kuh, rendering mages useless. They have also equipped themselves with finely tuned clockwork weapons, taken from memories of the Ngisikaa working for the Uchafumlaji. Both armies are overrun by the fragile creatures.

The Collapse
Era beginning/endCivilization collapses for a time, where records are extremely scarce. Even the tunnel network of the Uchafumlaji is compromised by agents of the Order of Obarikaa. Most memories stored by the Ngisikaa of this event are lost in the resulting battle. The mages orchestrated revolutions even on the sparsely inhabited eastern continent, and because there was no influx of non-sentient Ngisikaa in that place, they gain complete control. Communication is lost between the two continents for a long time. During the Collapse, most non-sentient Ngisikaa are driven back or killed when the Uchafumlaji see their chance to take out both light-living species. They underestimate the mages, who have been quietly building their strength in the shadows. Many Uchafumlaji are taken captive and forced to finally teach their technology to the Kuhifadi. This marks the official end of the time of the Darksider Revolt.
The Technological Revolution

Leaving the dark ages of the Revolt for the quickening times of progress. Known colloquially as the Common Era.

Recovery
Era beginning/endA long time passes while civilization recovers. There is not even an accurate accounting of days, and a new calendar is chosen, based on the founding of the first Kuhifadi city to overlook the new southern Ngisikaa memory storage location. During this time many accords and treaties are made between the three species, including the Uchafumlaji’s official pledge to no longer hunt or eat either of the other sentient species. Most Uchafumlaji abide by this agreement up to the present.

Kusongangani - The Travelling City
Metaphysical / Paranormal eventIn the early days of the new calendar, there are reports of a traveling utopia, which can pass over land or water, or even beneath the earth. In this city, Kuhifadi, Ngisikaa, and Uchafumlaji all live together, a central memory storage guarded by and acting as a conduit for Kuhifadi’s power, serving as a power core for augmented technology of the Uchafumlaji. There are several credible sightings of this city, known as Kusongangani. The city has never been successfully found.

Wastelands of the Eastern Continent
Discovery, ExplorationSailing vessels once again reach the eastern continent, only to find a wild and dead place, with vast swaths of burnt and blasted land. The only inhabitants are wanderers, completely wrapped up against the sun. Some are obviously Uchafumlaji from their size.
-
1201 CE
The Lost Memories of the Eastern Continent
Disaster / DestructionThe memory storage location on the eastern continent is found destroyed. Only two sentient Ngisikaa are left, but they are so addled from holding memories they are unable to communicate. They die soon after contact is made, and the last memories of what happened die with them.

Rediscovery
Era beginning/endAlthough many of the advances of the old civilization had been lost, the tunneling powers of the Uchafumlaji and their scientific prowess, coupled with the memory of the Ngisikaa and the magic of the Kuhifadi, lead to many archaeological digs and finds of vast knowledge. Much knowledge of the old civilization is discovered, at least up to the Collapse. This includes many weapons used by the mages and the Uchafumlaji, as well as the magic absorption of the Ngisikaa. However, with the new treaties in place between the species, the technology is often (though not always) used for the benefit of all.
-
2184 CE
The Second Solar Revolution
Scientific achievementAn expensive, but common, form of solar storage is finally perfected, replicating the Kuh in many respects. This makes the magic of the Kuhifadi transferable, which in turn nearly eliminates the mages, now that the painful and arduous process of becoming one is no longer necessary.
-
2305 CE
Artificial Reefs
Scientific achievementArtificial reefs are created for the non-sentient Ngisikaa, finally allowing the sentients to live nearly any place they desire on Juno.
-

The Modern Age
Scientific achievementMoving cities are designed that either chase the sun or chase the night, allowing them to act as refuges for Uchafumlaji above the surface, or places for Kuhifadi to continually store the magic in sunlight.
