Two Hundred Years of Silence
Two civilizations, one origin, and the war that divided them. This archive is being assembled as records are verified — eras marked as pending are awaiting confirmation from the Tokorel National Archives.
Warriors take the emerald world. Disputes are settled with knives, because a blade is personal — a tradition that has never lapsed.
Khizara's landmass, an incomplete circle around the equator, becomes home to a culture of ancient traditions and deep-rooted pride. Pak'bor, the oldest known settlement, dates from this age.
A war tears the Khizaran civilization apart. Tokor and his followers are exiled — those who survive.
The Great Battling severs one people into two. Tokor, his family and his followers escape Khizara in search of a home where they can live without persecution.
The Ghoranth of Brachen vanish in the same era. Whether the two events are connected is one of the archive's open questions.
The exiles settle a hidden planet. In isolation, their ability to sense and control emotion grows into something the galaxy will come to fear.
Living mostly apart from the rest of the galaxy, the Tokorellans are little known. Slowly, some leave — travelling as Khizarans to be accepted.
Tokor dreams twice. The second dream becomes a scroll, and the scroll becomes fragment H-17A.
“From the blood of two enemies, a bridge shall be born.” The best-known line survives on the Fragment of Khizara. The rest is scattered — the Fourth Cornerstone yielded one piece; others are still missing.
An archaeologist who hears the past finds Pak'bor. A Tokorellan who hides in plain sight crosses her path. The prophecy stirs.
Linsora Anselm's discovery of Pak'bor, the recovery of the Book of the Prophetess at Hakai, and the ruins on Brachen all surface within a single generation. Where this leads is the story of the Tokorel series.
