Tyrea is furious, and drags Arilos before the court and demands Ahellion and Veladriel punish him. Ahellion almost executes him, but then looks to Tyrea and asks her to give the sentence, because one day she will be queen.

Ravielle, having spent several years in a relationship with a sun elf named Berothir Q'endorei, marries him.

Year 146: The Riversongs leave home

Ravadi goes to travel the world, and so does Ravielle, leaving her husband in charge of the wood elves. In Ravielle's absence (and perhaps against her wishes), Berothir creates a strict and regimented military force to protect the wood elves. He is particularly concerned about dark elf scouting parties and incursions.

Year 148: The Q'endorei Inquisition

Berothir, having built up his forces, strikes at the dark elves to retaliate for one of their scouting parties. He is killed in combat, and Ravielle rushes home. When confronted by the dark elves, she must tell them that it was a sun elf who led the slaughter to avoid all-out war between wood elves and dark elves.

She goes. Myneria rules in Ravielle's absence.

Year 262: Arilos and Tyrea have a child

Arilos and Tyrea have a daughter named Lyriel. Lyriel takes after her father in that she always finds a way to make herself useful. She accompanies him on many of his travels, learning his tricks of the trade. She is very self confident in her ability to perform her duties, and often volunteers for even loftily ambitious plans. However, following the year 305, she always carries the death of her mother close to heart, making her come across as a little sad when she is not working.

Year 305: Tyrea is murdered

Tyrea is murdered by what appears to be a dark elf insurrectionist group. Ahellion and Veladriel launch a full-scale retaliation against the dark elves, known as the Laubrekkor massacre. An entire city of dark elves perishes in flame. There was a group of humans who lived near Laubrekkor. In the zeal of their attack, Ahellion and Veladriel did not discriminate against targets. The dark elves and humans in that area lost their homes to the sun elves. Fleeing south into the mountains, the human and dark elf refugees were taken in. The dark elves, and this group of humans, have hated the sun elves ever since.

Year 333: Remedia contacts Ravielle

Ravielle has had various wild and exciting adventures in the last 106 years traveling Ilisara. Her journey comes to an end when Remedia sends Ravielle visions that she is needed in Rivelin.

She takes up her duties again and serves dutifully as the ruler of the wood elves.

Hestia's husband, the Duke, is murdered on his travels in an attack made by dark elves.

Year 450: Nora is smote by Vandun

Nora goes to Isandor to investigate the eruption of Mok'Gram. While on an expedition to the volcanic caldera, she uncovered evidence that the gods themselves had been responsible. Fearing that Vandun was working against the other gods, she began to pray to Varos to inform him of her findings. But, before she could, Vandun took notice, and obliterated her with his power. To the Dawnwalkers, the orcs were responsible. Ahellion and Veladriel launch a campaign against the orcs in retaliation. The city of Rock'Magh in northern Isandor was completely incinerated by Veladriel's gemstone, Ilterendi. This event made it apparent that the Dawnwalkers would respond to any family assassination with war. In order to protect the royal family, a secret guild of assassins were created in order to protect every member of the family.

Year 451: League of Assassins is created

Every member of the Dawnwalker family has at any one time, two to three personal bodyguards. These assassins keep their distance, so as to give the Dawnwalkers an illusion of privacy. However in reality, they are never far and in every shadow. Rumors of their abilities have stretched the imagination beyond the wildest legends.

Year 455: Ravielle is sent to Isandor

Remedia contacts Ravielle on behalf of Varos. There is some suspicion amongst the gods that Vandun had to do with Mok'gram's eruption and that there is a scheme that must be uncovered. They wish to send a mortal who can be trusted to investigate. Ravielle goes to Isandor to fulfill the gods' request. Demons capture her at Mok'gram's summit and torture/enslave her, trying to convert her to Vandun's mission.

Year 462: Ravielle's savior

After seven years of torture, Ravielle is at her wit's end. She has discovered valuable information about Vandun, but she is unable to escape her captors. She is broken-spirited. Remedia finally appears to Ravielle in a vision and tells her that one of the gods is sending a champion to save her. Hejong's Celestial arrives and annihilates all of the demons who Ravielle was enslaved by, before carrying her to his chariot, and bringing her back to Hellan. Ravielle was too wounded to remember everything, but the Celestial bore a striking resemblance to her very old friend, Hejong Bladebreaker. Ravielle decides to isolate herself in the Forgotten Woods.

Year 500: Ravielle's re-apperance

Ravielle appears at the summit when the Confederacy is being created. She provides some insights about the threats that lie in Isandor, providing extra incentive for the races to unite. From here on out, Ravielle serves as the spiritual guide for Rivelin and travels Hellan, never wishing to return to Isandor.
