Off the Path: The Hadalians & Novum Volsci

	The first new problem was with the native ocean life of Tehom. The reports of dangerous sea life and its attacks on human vessels began to increase steadily. More disturbingly, some technocrats began to argue they saw patterns and strategy in the attacks, rather than the more arbitrary or immediate savagery one would expect from non-sentient life. The attacks have continued, especially on the outskirts of the Set, with no explanation. The diverse set of alien creatures and monsters that come from the depts. To harass humanity have come to be called “Hadalians,” though that’s a collective term that tells one little about what the life form is actually like.

	This new stress created economic problems for several cosmopoli, first some of the peripheral ones, but the problems eventually reached some of cores of the Set. The first to fall was Novum ~~Vosci~~, whose economy collapsed in a financial crisis. This lead to a bitter civil war among its Archons. The rebels eventually lost, despite broad supported among the Many of the cosmopolis. Since the revolt, the regime has allocated resources within the cosmopolis on military spending (to maintain order) and public works (to make the agora attractive to visitors and dignitaries) at the expense of all but the Few and the rich. In a few years, Novum Volsci went from being known as one of the wealthiest cosmopoli of Tehom to a place with shocking poverty. This created a boom of refugees fleeing the cosmopolis, leaving Novum Volsci as a large city of slums and vacant ruins. It also lead to the creation ghettos called “Novel towns” (a deformation of “NoVol” for Novum Volsci) in many other cosmopoli.

	Sunbringer was soon joined by other superhumans: The powerful psychic William Goodguide helped stabilize what would one day become Pinnacle, and the seemingly invulnerable Dimday Dragoon founded Highspire. Over the course of a decade, a dozen or so of these Few with powers emerged from the ranks of humanity, usually becoming the leaders of desperate communities (the famous exception of course being Thomas the Sage, who guided the development of Calmport hidden from view). Sunbringer’s greatest accomplishment was the creation of the Stormward Council, an annual meeting of the Few where disputes could be resolved and plans for surviving and growth could be coordinated.

			=Classical History=
			During this time, recorded history became more consistent with fewer gaps. Contemporary Tehomin historians have a solid understanding of this time, and it improves as one moves toward the present.
