The world has been forgetting itself for three thousand years. This archive is one attempt to remember.
History, peoples, and the shape of the Sundered Age.
The history of a world built on what it half-remembers: the First Age, the First Betrayal, the Collapse, and the known world that rose afterward.
Humans, elves, dwarves, Wrenfolk, and orcs — each carrying a different relationship to memory, history, and what was lost.
The Firstborn: living stone, inherited memory, chosen silence, and the long waiting in the mountains.
The luminous mineral that answers to truth — witness, memory, and resonance made visible.
Not a dark lord. Not a sorcerer. A wound in reality that learned hunger.
What people do, when they do it, and what it means.
Nine currency systems of the Sundered Age — from the Imperial Crown to the Thurak Obligation. A road-broker's working record, with annotations from the company.
What people do when no one told them to — threshold customs, hospitality, naming, and mourning across all six cultures.
The fixed points in the year — what they were made to mark, what people still do, and what has been forgotten in the doing.
Three calendar systems that cannot agree — Common Reckoning, Elvish Pre-Collapse, and the Drevari vel-thal, which exists in no written form.
The institutional marks that authorized, suppressed, witnessed, and preserved — what each claims to mean, and what it actually does.
Vel-Drath, script, and the scholarship of the Sundered Age.
The language of the First Age and the mortal script that tried, imperfectly, to preserve it.
The written forms of Vel-Drath and Proto-Veranthi, from bridge glyphs to the seven unread characters.
How to say every name, place, and Vel-Drath term — characters, antagonists, regions, root words, and compound terms.
A reference of key terms, places, peoples, artifacts, and Vel-Drath words from the Sundered Age.
Thessaly Vorn's rejected study of proto-Veranthi directionality — the seven misassigned characters, and what they suggest about the source language.
Chronology, characters, and the series index.
