Expanded Time Line VI

2156 PA (Post Avatar): The High King's son and his wife are kidnapped. It is unclear who has taken them, but both the Black Wizards and a group calling themselves the "True High King" have claimed responsibility. The High King has sent out his best mages and knights to find them, offering rewards to who ever might find them alive and whole, or even information leading to where they might be.

The Warrior College in Pathfinder is beset by a strange malady which lays low many of their instructors and students. The place quarantined and no one is let in or out. Supplies are brought in by magic, mages standing outside the gates and lifting them through the gates with magic, causing them to tire quickly. Several priests of Tinaka have entered the campus to determine what might be wrong.

The pass between west and east through the Tsalagi Mountains is closed because of a landslide for three months. During that time items from the east are two to three times their normal price. Many medical herbs that only grow there become scarce, worrying the Priests of Tinaka.

The Akicitia and their allies begin to push back the Empire, causing the Empire to send out more troops, including more of their chariots and horses along with their battle mages. The devastation is great, but the Akicitia continue to fight back.

Read the timeline parts 1-6 sequentially. It gives your readers something to pull all of the incredible detail your create in this world.

I think of this as I'm reading as a novel synopsis/ outline for a fantasy novel.

The map helps place events.

Hopefully, at some point, blogspot will allow a reader to highlight a passage and click to the source.
