Editing Timeline of the pathwalker story (section)

==THE THIRD AGE==
===Year 897, 3A===
:  The Third Age ends.
====The Last Battle, 2A====
:  The Enemy's march down the Eren took only months, and by midwinter the Shadow holds all the heartland of Eredane from the Northland Frontier to the Kasmael Sea. Orc hordes march east into the footfills of the Kaladruns and in the west the borders of Erethor to begin the burning.
:  A desperate rallied force of elves, humans and a few weary dwarves make a final stand on the coast of the Pelluria. The vigilant elves are steeled and ready, butthe humans are unprepared and fractious. The dwarves, battle hardened but with haunted souls and are simply too few. Elven scholars refer to this engagement as the Last Battle, but that name lends it too much glory.  
:  '''The Last Battle''' is lost. 
:  '''Hedgreg the Last, last of the Old Kings of the Dorns''', dies in battle opposing him. 
:  '''Jahzir''' returns as the leader of '''Izrador’s''' armies, transformed and terrible.
:  Izrador's armies again poured across the frontier, there is nothing to stop them. Led by the Night Kings, the Shadow's hordes drive southward crushing what little opposition they meet.
====Arc of SHAREEL, 3A 897    ''(spring)''====
1.  "'''the Arc of the Sisters'''", the first thaws in the central plains usually come by the end of Shareel and the wild boro begin their migration north.
:  When the Shadow’s armies sweeps out of the north in the spring, Jahzir rode at their head. His strategic expertise and intimate knowledge of human tactics allowed his army to cut through the arrayed defenders like so much wheat and march south virtually unchecked. 


===Year 895, 3A===
:  Izrador sends a host of 12 mighty demons rampaging through the Veradeen. Ardherin consults with his colleagues, his notes and lorebooks, and then traveled to northern Erethor to battle the threat. Ardherin laid a powerful, sorcerous trap for the demon horde. When the elven wizard moved to spring the magical snare, he found himself bound instead. He had become a summoned creature, and like the demons he had so often trapped, he had become bound to a greater power—Izrador himself. The demon horde spirited Ardherin away to the presence of the Shadow, where the great elven sorcerer was lost to a nightmare of torture and magical transformation that left him at once destroyed and reborn. When some measure of sanity returned to his mind, he had become one of the immortal Night Kings. His body had been reformed into a terrible apparition of his original elven form. Ardherin, the servant of Shadow, retains the general build of his kind but is even more slender—almost gaunt. <font color=darkred>'''THE SORCEROR OF SHADOW, Ardherin, IS BORN'''</font>


===Year 891, 3A===
: One night, six months after an old woman began telling Jahzir her tales, the general stole from his quarters, mounted his horse, and road north alone. For days he traveled, not truly sure why, but certain his promised greatness was at stake. Then one day a black storm swept down from the northern horizon, engulfing the general, and he knew no more. When he came to, Jahzir was no longer on the plains and he was no longer entirely human. Jahzir’s form had become frightening indeed. He was much the same in aspect—dark skin, almond eyes, long black hair—but he was now larger than even the burliest Dorn, standing nine feet tall. His body was covered in the blackest plate armor, but armor that was not worn and was instead an unnatural part of his living skin. He was no longer Jahzir, Lord General of Erenland, but had been transformed into Jahzir the Night King, Lord Master of the Armies of the Shadow. His sole desire was to serve Izrador and in doing so subjugate the lands of all Eredane. <font color=darkred>'''THE SWORD OF SHADOW, Jahzir, IS BORN'''</font>
:  '''Jahzir Kamael, Lord General of all the armies of Erenland''', disappears after several seasons of fighting renegades and raiders in the north.


===Year 890, 3A===
: An old woman begins telling Jahzir her tales...
:  As the threat of Izrador was again on the rise, Erethor was suffering increased infestation by demonic forces. On one of his spirit hunting forays, Ardherin begins his fall to Shadow...


===Year 889, 3A===
:  Jahzir becomes incensed, when the king decides to wed his daughter to a Dornish prince rather than him, to bolster ailing political ties. The insult infuriated him and he seethed with the righteousness of the betrayed. To hide his self-perceived shame, Jahzir rode north with his personal cadre, ostensibly to support the Dornish princes still loyal to Erenland in their civil wars. There he spent more than a year fighting renegades and wallowing in prideful bitterness.


===Year 882, 3A===
:  Jahzir's rise through both military and social ranks was as earned as it was expected, and when in this year he was made sussar and Lord General over all the armies of Erenland, no one was surprised. Jahzir’s staunch loyalty and impeccable honor were the stuff of legend and he was considered a hallmark of Sarcosan nobility. The only thing greater than Jahzir’s reputation was his pride, a fault that would eventually fell the kingdom.


===Year 881, 3A===
====Arc of SAHAAD, 3A 881    ''(summer)''====
3.   "'''Spring's End'''",  this arc is the favored time for birthing foals. Traditionally this is also the time when nomadic Sarcosans left their winter camps. If born on the zenith of Sahaad, a Sarcosan child is thought to be destined for greatness.
:  Claiming he was retiring to found a monastery, Sunulael leaves Sharuun and takes his cult of followers to Cambrial in the summer, taking up residence in an old manor. Beneath the building he constructed the first temple to the Shadow in the southlands and erected a zordrafin corith. <font color=darkred>'''THE PRIEST OF SHADOW, Sunulael, IS BORN'''</font>


===Year 875, 3A===
====Arc of HANUD, 3A 875    ''(winter)''====
8.   "'''the Arc of the Dead'''", this a traditional time to honor the memory of lost relatives and the only time of the year when it is wise to ask favors of the Sorshef. The Dorns, long influenced by the Sarcosan calendar, hold their most solemn ancestor ceremony on the zenith of Hanud. They call the ceremony "'''the Calling of Honors'''".
:  In the winter of this year, Sunulael's meditations begin to fill with subtle visions. At first, he assumes they are the signs of age, for he was hardly a young man anymore. In time, the visions gained in strength and Sunulael began to hope that perhaps his dearest wish had come true—that the gods had finally deigned to speak to their most devout priest. Over the course of several years, Sunulael became convinced it was indeed the voice of a god speaking to him, and in truth, he was correct. It was the corrupting whispers of Izrador that intruded upon the old priest’s mind.


===Year 863, 3A===
* ''BORN this Year'':  '''Eranon the Stalker''' 


===Year 795, 3A===
Sunulael, Chief Acolyte of the Badrua, begins to serve the Sarcosan faithful, an 80 year quest, as a devoted priest of the Sorshef. He labors on the Book of Sahi, maintaining the long traditions it extolled and initiating new priests in its ways. His reputation for piousness and generosity was well deserved and he was considered the holiest man in Erenland.


===Year 243, 3A===
:  '''Aradil’s''' agents discover a coven of elven devotees of '''Izrador''' operating in Erethor. The queen personally attends to the traitors and no sign of them is ever seen again.


===During the 3rd Age===
:  Izrador spends the first centuries of the Third Age cultivating his black priesthood and sowing corruption amongst the free races. As predicted in ancient prophesies, four great heroes are corrupted by the Enemy and turned to his cause. The identities of these four remain a dark mystery to most, but they shatter the alliance that opposes Izrador and corrupts them from within.
:  In these days of the Last Age, Jahzir is the high commander of all the Shadow’s military forces and the campaign to subjugate the continent is his domain. He is the crowned king in Erenland
