-
- 300,000,000
BCE: Reptiles first appear on the
Earth in the Carboniferous Period.
-
- 275,000,000
PHE/BCE: The first Serpent People
appear during the Permian Period. The Great
Old One, Yig. Is
said to be the Father of all Serpents, and so the Serpent People
worshipped him from the first. Legends say that these
early Serpent People formed their First Empire in Valusia,
a fertile land near the center of the super-continent of Pangaea.
This empire was based on sorcery and alchemy, and at its height
it must have ruled much
of the Paleozoic world. How many of these legends are true can
not be said. Records of the Elder Things and Yithians
who inhabited the Earth at the time say little of these early
Serpent People.
-
- 225,000,000
PHE/BCE: The Rise of the Dinosaurs,
the collapse of the First Empire of the Serpent People.
-
- 5,000,000
PHE/BCE: Yothic
civilization was at its greatest height ever. The Serpent People
had become prodigious scientists, able to create other life forms
at whim. Life was luxury, joyfully lived. Then Yoths
doom was uncovered, when curious explorers discovered the path
to blackly litten NKai. There they found great altars
to Tsathoggua. The toad-god possessed
tremendous power and wisdom and many Serpent People turned
away from Yig to worship him. Yig
did not look kindly on his people abandoning him, an
so he cursed them. The Serpent People of Yoth
devolved, losing their speech, their limbs, and their intelligence.
They became the serpents that they had once been millennia before.
-
- Only
the faithful escaped Yigs curse. The high priest Sss;haa led Yigs
true worshippers out of Yoth. They
traveled to Hyperborea, a land in the north, where they
dwelled deep below Mount Voormithadreth.
Under Voormithadreth, the Serpent Peoples
greatest scientific civilization continued to prosper. By this
time, they had become pitiless creatures of near pure intelligent.
They had no morals, and their only law was that curiosity must
always by satisfied. The Serpent People of Hyperboreas
greatest achievements continued to be in genetic engineering.
It is believed that the Voormis who
ruled the surface of Hyperborea from approximately 3 million years
ago were their creation. However, the Voormis
special affiliation with Tsathoggua
shows that even among the supposedly faithful, the taint of the
toad-god remained.
-
- At
the time of the Serpent People migration, conditions were also
changing upon the surface. The dinosaurs which
had destroyed the First Empire were long gone. The mammals had
begun to rise. In Africa, the first hominids were evolving; they
were the first true ancestors of man.
-
- After
fleeing Hyperborea the Serpent People
tried to form a kingdom upon the newly risen land of Lemuria. Unfortunately they found themselves
in contention with the new-born human race.
-
- 1,700,000
PHE/BCE: The exact fate of the Serpent
People of Hyperborea is unknown,
their Voormis were swept aside by the cold of Ithaqua.
-
- 1,000,000
PHE/BCE: The human Hyperboreans
arrive and form a new civilization.
-
- 750,000
PHE/BCE: The humans of Hyperborea
are gone. Today, the merest remnant of Hyperborea
forms Greenland.
-
- 500,000
PHE/BCE: The Serpent People civilization
has fallen into ruin. Fleeing even further south the Serpent
People came to the Thurian Continent. Here they were finally
able to reform their Empire. They named it the Second Empire,
and it was centered in Valusia, a land named after a legend. Many
war were fought, but eventually the men of
the Thurian Continent were consigned to thralldom.
Some fled to less oppressive realms, but at the center of the
world the Serpent People ruled.
-
- Unfortunately,
the Age of Reptiles was over, and the Age of Mammals had already
begun. The Serpent People could oppress the most primitive humans,
but they were doomed by the relentless march of evolution. It
took a million years or more, but the earliest human civilization
arose: Kamelia, Verulia,
Grondor, Thule, Commoria,
Atlantis, and Lemuria. After a hundred
wars, the Second Empire of the Serpent People was destroyed.
Thereafter, Valusia was ruled by humans. Some Serpent
People fled to the south of the Thurian
Continent to create a new kingdom, but most went underground,
hibernated, or simply died.
-
- The
Serpent People who remained were unwilling to give up their mastery
of the world. Where strength had failed, they turned instead
to deceit. Using their powers of disguise, they replaced humans
of power and ruled in their stead. For aeons
they were successful, but that would eventually end in 18,000
BCE.
-
- 18,000
PHE/BCE: An Atlantean
by the name of Kull leads an uprising
against the Serpent People, bringing their schemes to an end.
Shortly after the rule of Kull, a great
cataclysm shook the Thurian Continent.
It was the beginning of the end for the Serpent Peoples
southern kingdom.
-
- 16,500
PHE/BCE: Lemurian
survivors, hardened by centuries of disaster and slavery, fell
upon the Serpent People cities that had been spared by the cataclysm.
The Serpent Peoples southern kingdom was destroyed. However,
Stygia, the human country formed from
its ashes, would carry forward many of their beliefs, including
the worship of Yig.
-
- The
last remnants of the Serpent People feld
southward, stopping only when they reached the ocean. Here, they
founded one last city, Yanyoga. It
had none of the grandeur of its predecessors. It lasted for thousands
of years, but in 10,000 BCE it too was destroyed, by a Cimmerian
descendant of Kull.
-
- Since
then, the history of the world has scarcely been touched by the
Serpent People. They still lurk, dwelling in the deepest caverns,
sometimes even hiding among us, but their power has been broken.
-
- 10,500
BCE: The
Pyramids of Egypt are built.
-
- 10,000
BCE: The Serpent People of the city of Yanyoga
is destroyed by a Cimmerian descendant of Kull.
-
- 6,512
BCE:
The Demon Pharaoh, Menkuhor appears leading an army of well over
100,000 soldiers and conquers Egypt. After installing himself
as Pharaoh, he resurrects the Cult of the Black Pharaoh and begins
sacrificing thousands of Egyptians to his dark god, Nyarlathotep.
-
- 6,500
BCE:
The Black Pyramid of Menkuhor "The Demon Pharaoh" is
constructed in a man-made cavern beneath the Giza
Plateau. Also erected is the Black Obelisk of Menkuhor
"The Nightbringer", and the Temple of the
Night dedicated to the Black Pharaoh; Nyarlathotep.
. It was only through the
combined might of the First Atlantean
Empire that Menkuhor was put down.
And even then, we could not destroy him. The dark ritual that
had created him had created a monster that defied death itself.
There was no true death for Menkuhor, it was only through a long forgotten ritual
that the Atlantean Sorcerers of the time were able
to seal him in a massive crystal. From that point on, the Atlantean
Senate knew the end was in sight. The Egyptians, after the fall
of their Demon Pharaoh, set about to destroy any record of his
existence. And so that dark time was forgotten by the Egyptians
within three generations.
-
- 1,150
BCE: Numbia conquers Egypt.
-
- 50
BCE:
Cleopatra assumes the throne of Egypt.
-
- 124
CE: Lord Ramius, one of the few
remaining great leaders of the Atlantean
people in Italy would begin a war campaign against all of the
feuding Atlanteans of Italy and the
surrounding regions. Lord Ramius claimed
all of this was done in an attempt to reunite the Atlantean
race.
-
- 130
CE: No less than 17 of the Atlantean
families residing within Southern Italy and Sicily would be wiped
out by Lord Ramius in his attempt to unite and bring a
lasting peace to the feuding Atlantean
vampiric families of Southern Italy
and Sicily.
-
- 151
CE: Lord Ramius dream of a
united Atlantean race would be realized in the year.
It would be in this year that the leaders of the families that
claimed fealty to Lord Ramius and his cause would unite to form the
first of the Houses of the Imperium
Ex Atlantia, House Ramius.

only 16 members of the original crew of 76 ever reached home
