The apotheosis of Arthanios, last king of Arethas. King Arthanios was deeply in love with the goddess Timurantia and wanted to marry her. He decided he had to ascend to godhood for this. Arthanios succeeded and for all of a day he was a god. He no longer felt the need to marry Timurantia. He called upon his people to recognize him as the true godly protector of Arethas and reject Timurantia. Timurantia and Arthanios fought. Arthanios was defeated and unknown powers consumed him. Timurantia felt betrayed by the people of Arethas and decided to leave them. So ends the apotheosis of Arthanios, the last king of Arethas.

After Arthanios
10000 AA and beyond
The Apotheosis and subsequent death of Arthanios, last king of Arethas, marked the end of the Imperial Age. The new age was usually abbreviated as AA, symbolic for a new start. The earliest meaning of AA in the context of a new era was Apotheosis Arthanios. This was likely by someone who thought the ascension to godhood was the beginning of a new era with Arthanios as their god. Soon after records used AA as an abbreviation of either After Arthanios or After Arethas. Much later the 7 families standardized it to After Arthanios, since the empire of Arethas took a lot longer to fall apart.

Voyage of the Cradle
ExpeditionThe Cradle, the first ship to travel from Arturia to the new continent of Taleth. From the family of Osson stepped forth 37 brave souls who would man the ship and cross the sea to confirm what the priests had heard. Over 8 years later only 24 men returned, but they returned victorious. The worried glances from the shore swiftly turned to ecstatic joy as they learned the other 13 had made a base on the newly found continent.
