You're very welcome and thank you for commenting with a question. I appreciate it.
None of the Seven survive the Deluge, thankfully, but unfortunately this does not erase Man's fallen nature and evil arises in every age with new faces. There is an ideological split in the island realm that survives the Flood over whether to preserve knowledge of the past or forget it hoping that this will prevent a repeat of the same mistakes. The early kings support the Preserver faction, and so the Great Library is built to house that knowledge.
Ah, so another group could arise. Now, who lived in the Kingdom of Light and did Elves dwell there? I know they were in alliance with them. Also, did any or all Elves survive?
The question of who lived in the Kingdom of Light is a complicated one that I'll have to address later, because there was so much history leading up to it that it's hard to say right off the bat. Some number of the Elves definitely survived, but what exactly happened to them after the Flood I haven't determined yet. I have some ideas but they're not fully formed yet.
i ofc knew this would be a massive undertaking, but now i see i actually underestimated how much. each age is a world of its own, but i understand why it may be easier to go through it more or less all at once, rather than one at a time. i do hope you are able to get it done.
These aren't even all the ages *of the world*, but just those prior to the Flood. There are in fact twelve ages in total of roughly equal length (it's based on the transit of a dim planet through the zodiac rather than precession of the equinoxes, but it's the same 25,920 year cycle).
I've decided to tackle it by epoch (a collection of ages), as if each is a world unto itself with connections to the past. The world goes through massive changes over time.
I'm not giving an overview of the entirety of history, though, as it's too broad a sweep to do that.
yes, yes, i got that. and that's what i meant, even that small slice is quite a bit to say the least. i mean, we just have to take Genesis and then compare to the Enoch expansion, to see how much was left out or dealt with so quickly, sometimes a single verse. so i just meant i really admire your efforts, it's something i would never be able to plot, much less realize.
I am at this very moment rethinking the Izarîm and who their parents are, and the result of that decision could radically reshape the 1st Age (which is obviously crucial because of its downstream effects on every other Age across history). It's rather nerve-wracking, to say the least.
I’m glad most of the survivors are from the Kingdom of Light. They sound like the good guys. Did any of the Seven survive?
I’m excited to read more. Thank you for sharing with us!

It's also still very much in flux, lol.

well, that's no surprise, you're basically writing the history of everything aha.
