Tolara

Seeking to create a system that could be learned by anyone of any status or profession, Tihagi of Rokur Clan simply observes how her own people told time amongst themselves. It was from her Clan's folk methods of time-telling that the Tihagi Calendar was eventually derived.

Six months after reports are dispatched from the Southern Expedition Team, and three months after their reception in Eris'ka, an elite exploration team led by Expedition Master (EM) Dinead e'Allire is assembled. They are dispatched to the southern reaches of Tolara in order to investigate elements of the reports mentioning the presence of a hostile creature encountered in the region.

Ceiba Lanael is born in the Dryad villade of Gillia- located on the border between the Ajda Wet Forest and Nang Kap'ahu Delta in Tolara's Talaina'vao region.

Having finally come of age, Mala'kai Avirotka assumes the identity of a Dwarf and sets off on his own, heading north through Nisaba Pass. Eventually he settles in the Druumarian Stronghold of Clan Dhal- located in the southern reaches of the Tarael Mountains, between Eris'ka and Ar'lasang Vaerda'ky.

Zuri Golzar is born in the Ilerian (Human) village of Anapata in the Chisisi Desert.

Having finally had his fill of travel, Mala'kai Avirotka returns home to his parents in Keskala and takes up the role as Winnower for the surrounding forest.

After tracking down poachers near her village and dispensing justice, Ceiba Lanael decides to try the eco-bounty hunter life. After returning to Gillia, she packs her things and leaves to explore Talaina'Vao on her own.

Zuri Golzar begins to show promise in the Druidic arts, like her mother before her. She begins her training, but unfortunately her gift quickly proves to be "twisted".

Shael Ash is saved from a bandit attack by Kod Zuzagar. Under Corellon's guidance he decides to follow Kod, hiring on at his post office in Keskala; officially his position is to escort postage during runs. But Kod and Shael's real work lies in their smuggling business, moving goods and people across borders. Feeling compelled to help out those less fortunate, the majority of their personal cargo consists of escaped slaves trying to settle down in a safer place.
