4998 years ago, Elonsric Narseb, Prince of the House of Rola (worshipers of Jascar and other Sulis deities of weal) is proclaimed the First Emperor of the Sulis Empire.

4939 years ago, Kord is born.

4907 years ago, Kord begins his ministry.

4904 years ago, Kord is killed.

4340 years ago, many nomad families of the northern plains first encounter the Sulis Empire. They begin to rely on trade with the Sulir. Herd animals, horses, cloth, and pottery are exchanged for superior weapons and adornments of “civilization”.

4332 years ago, the theologian Sablic is excommunicated from the Sulis Church for his opposition to the emerging idea of the Trinity. His teachings concerning the different “modes” or “faces” of the Godhead are accompanied by glossolalia and prophecy. His chief critic, the theologian Tulic, had written of his teachings (which he identified as the teachings of Pragsic): “By this Pragsic did a twofold service for the devil amongst the Sulir: he drove away prophecy, and brought in heresy; he put to flight the Paraclete, and he crucified the Father.”

4048 years ago, at the First Council of Nicea, the bishop Thanar argues that God the Mother and God the Son are “con-substantial”, a term reportedly put forth by the heretic Sablic. Many of his followers became uneasy at this, feeling it to be un-Scriptural, suspicious, and of a heretic tendency, for Sablic had also considered Wejas and Kord to be “one substance”, or one essential person.

3942 years ago, the Pentarchal President states, “I doubt whether it can be found, from the revelations that are given and the facts as they exist, that there is a female in all the regions of hell.”

3916 years ago, the Pentarchal President states, “Woman must atone for sins committed by the volition of her own choice, but she will never become an angel to the devil, and sin so far as to place herself beyond the reach of mercy." In the same discourse he explained his reasoning: "She is not accountable for the sins that are in the world. God requires obedience from man, he is lord of creation, and at his hands the sins of the world will be required.”

3912 years ago, Pifa notes that adherents of Sablic's teachings are still to be found in great numbers, both among the proto-Baqluni and among the Sulir.

3897 years ago, the first general council at Constantinople in canon VII declares the baptism of Sablic to be invalid.

3276 years ago, the holy man is-Baqlun suden Gash begins receiving visions from the One God, whom he names is-Toos. These visions include one of a holy monument near the lake is-Druqan. He begins traveling, preaching, and gathering followers.

3263 years ago, according to the accounts of Jan Wikr sam Wuli, Lorn Kal vin Wuli, and others, a meeting takes place between Sulis Church President Jan Telr, the two afore-mentioned members of House Wuli, and others. Prior to the meeting, Telr is said to have met with Kord Christ, and to have received a revelation commanding that plural marriage should not cease, but be kept alive by a group separate from the Sulis Church. The following day, House Wuli, as well as Telr's counselor, Gorgi Kan, and others, were said to have been set apart to keep "the principle" alive.

3245 years ago, is-Baqlun suden Gash and his followers find or construct a strange circle of stone and name it is-Tofag Baragi (“the Navel of the Earth”).

3080 years ago, after meeting with a group of Apostles, the Sulis Pope declares, “That there will also be daughters of Perdition there is no doubt in the minds of the brethren.”

2975 years ago, the third general council of the Sulis Church at Constantinople in canon XCV again declares the baptism of Sablic invalid, most likely in reaction to the rise of Islam.

2819 years ago, the Sulis Pope affirms “that there would be no daughters of perdition.”

1567 years ago, with the ordination of Rulin Alred by Jos Musr, who presides over the Sulis fundamentalists, the fundamentalists in Dry Creek, became more distant. Until this time, the Sulis fundamentalists had largely been one group. Within a few years, they form their own group, which is now called the Fundamentalist Church of Kord Christ of Truest Saints.

888 years ago, the foul murder of Rulin Alred IX by Rina kin Weth (under the direction of Vil Bron) brings the Joined Apostolic Brethren to the attention of Flanea as a whole. By the present time, dozens, if not hundreds, of highly popular ballads have been written about the event.
