More Than 50,000 Years Ago
- The Fae of the Gloom and the Glimmer, formerly living in harmony, come into conflict.
- The cause seems to be interbreeding between the two great Covenants.
- The children of these unions are curious halfbreeds that many of both the Glimmer and the Gloom regard as abominations.
- The halfbreed spawn will eventually evolve into the mortal races.
- Glimmer and Gloom begin to live entirely apart. Conflict is at this point mostly philosophical but will be the seed for the First War.
- The halfbreeds attempt to picks sides and join whichever Covenant suits their nature. Their success often depends on how fully they can pass as a purebred Fae.
- These early days will lay the groundwork for a culture of racial purity in their mortal descendants in later years.
