Chronicles of the Spellborn: The Age of Expansion Con't

The official Chronicles of the Spellborn timeline has been updated with more information about the Age of Expansion. Packed with tons of lore, there are also a bunch of screens. Check it out!

Age of Expansion (continued):

- 527 AC: After discovering Parliament and exploring the Shard, a conflict arises among the High Houses concerning its ownership. The individual Houses claimed they were first to set foot or even discover Parliament, citing these reasons as why they should be leader of this new dominion. It seemed as though House Torque with its "innate" leadership skills might have played a role in resolving this conflict.

- 528 AC: Consequently to this turmoil, the Houses Pale, Onyx, Rune and Void decided there was nothing left for them to think about the cohabitation with the other Four. Eventually they deserted the other High Houses and ventured into the Deadspell Storm on their Vhelgar steeds. All except House Rune, who at the very last moment, changed their mind. So while House Pale, Onyx and Void left for the Deadspell Storm, the Houses Maul, Rune, Shroud, Silver and Torque stayed behind.

No one really knows what happened to the three renegade Houses after their departure. One thing, though, was for sure to everyone who stayed on Parliament: from then on Onyx, Void and Pale should be referred as "the Traitor Houses".

- 530 AC: Venturing further into the lands of Parliament, the five remaining High Houses decided to settle down and start building their own High House Structures on Parliament's pristine soil. Since then this Shard became the central political hub of the world of Spellborn.

The High Houses: The High Houses are political organisations which originated as tribes under the Eight Demons. Throughout ancestral history, each of the Houses were founded to reflect the appropriate political situation at that time and power struggle between various factions.

While the Vhelgar were the common enemy of all the Houses, some of them, most noticeably House Pale, allied themselves with the Vhelgar at times to leverage themselves above the other High Houses. Nowadays in the Enclave, the High Houses are purely political parties and the tribal origins have been completely discarded as anyone can join a High House after serving in the Enclave Militia.
