Refer to: <a href="/node/10011" target="_blank">Book 1 - The Core Four & the Founding of the Frontier</a>.<br /><div><br /></div><div>I have two major problems with the Time Line as it is written in Zeb's...well, two in the span I have chosen for this portion of the project.</div><div><br /></div><div>#1> Vrusk & Dralasites meet for the first time in 410PF, Vrusks & Humans meet for the first time in 350PF. Why, with the Vrusks knowing of both Dralasites and Humans, does it take another 50 years for all three to finally meet?</div><div><br /></div><div>#2> White Light is founded around 60PF (I don't recall the exact date but thereabouts) yet the WoWL module states that it was founded by Humans migrating from Theseus. The module also states that the Leotine family has ruled White Light for nearly 400 years. If the module takes place circa 60 FY (safe assumption as Dramune Run takes place shortly afterwards and that is listed as 61FY in the Gullwind's log), that translates to the Leotine line ruling since 340 PF (ten years after the vrusk meet the humans). Assuming the Leotine line founded Clarion, that's the latest we can have for this correction.</div><div><br /></div><div>#3> Cassidine is not mentioned anywhere in Zeb's time line until the First Sathar War. I would posit that this is either a Vrusk or Dralasite homeworld (I'm leaning toward vrusk since Fromeltar is discovered long before in-between Cass & Fromeltar's Dramune). The downside to this is neither Triad or Cassidine sound very vruskish (let alone dralsitic). Which means at the very it has to be least discovered by humans and inserted into the time line somewhere.</div><div><br /></div><div>________________________________________</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Disregarding #1 (it's more trivial than anything, we can still work with the huge gap...I just find it disturbingly excessive), Theseus definitely has to be bumped much further back in history. I would at the minimum posit the vrusk met humans (let's say they were in frozen berths abourd a chemical drive ship that had been coasting for a century+) <em><strong>in</strong></em> the (yet discovered or named) Theseus system and humans colonized it right away. One of those humans should be Leotus Valentine (the first, senior, blah blah blah let's just stick with suffix-less Leotus Valentine) who leads an expidition to White Light shortly afterwards.</div><div><br /></div><div>#3 needs a lot of work.</div>
