Write a Chron based roughly in the time between when the Great Tyrant decided to exile the mages, and the discovery of the headwater ruins. (where you find Timon), include at least one event strongly tied to the major happenings. (i.e. Phil the farmer is an eyewitness of a clash between the Tyrant's forces, and a mage; or "Phil the page was a mage who managed not to be detected by the Tyrant, and lived out his life in peace"; NOT "Phil the farmer got attacked by wolflizards in his field")

Here's a brief overview of the time period. The key dates are in red, the other dates are there for placement.
113: Catamarca "founded in 113 as a retreat for the first Tyrant".
152: The First Tyrant “exiled the Mages in 152.” from Cademia.
153: Pnyx "founded in 153 by the exiled Mages...”
158: Chrysothemus born (Alaric’s mother). -Gravestone in Catamarca
174: “174 when the Second Tyrant built the Citadel” in Catamarca
(thanks to dusk for the beautiful timeline)

DISCLAIMER: Much as we really want you to write a Chron, you should make your Homework a higher priority. ~the management ()_#

Um... I might have a go.
Maybe the 'winner' could decide on the next chron challenge?

I actually find this challenge to be an interesting one with a lot of possibilities. If I weren't having to try so hard just to keep up in the TS, I am very tempted to write an entry for this one, but I doubt I'll have the time.

I doubt that I will be able to write an entry for this one, due to time constraints.

I doubt I will be able to write one due to lack of cytherian plot knowledge.

If I write anything for this, it will be late, as I start high school tomorrow.

Since nobody has finished a Chron as of the afternoon of the 28th, I'm extending this another month, since people are working at it.

Thank you, Shorty ^_^ Mine would be extremely rushed if I pressed an ending tonight!

I'll become even more undignified than this

I still may end up doing something for this. There's plenty of time left in March, so we'll just have to see. No promises, though.

I have some thought for this floating around, but I really don't know if I'll ever type them up. Surely one day, but don't hold your breath.

I might still think of something for this, but I wouldn't expect anything until May or so.

Oddly enough, I've also felt the stirrings of an idea. Perhaps over the Easter break.

My main obstacle in writing chrons of late has been finding time...

I am starting a new chron, sequel to "Gateway to the Unknown". I hope it will wrap up all the loose ends I left due to an early deadline.
I expect to be done in a month or two. Depends how creative I feel these holidays.
Basic storyline:

Spoiler

*

Poll for titles is now open.

*We need to petition to have the spoiler tags shortened to just [s] or something. Takes way too long to write out spoiler.

You'd need to petition the developers of the Invision Power Board software, rather than Ambrosia.

Hello, I'm back!

Sensible titles, Selax.

I haven't been able to do a lot of work on it recently, what with three teachers giving me homework all due the next day, but I'm hoping to tackle it soon.

Ah, but you didn't specify that!
