This is a projects journal for the Chronicles of Tane-Los, a work in progress.
The Chronicles describe the formation, rise, and struggles of two opposing civilizations, the Archniniei and the Terionach, over a period of more than seven millenia.

• Shadows of the Sorcerers (tentative working title), set during the three initial years of the First Alliance
  Synopsis: A centuries-long cold war between two superpower nations of the psychically gifted heats up when a tyrannical mage-lord declares war on both sides.


• The Stream of Memory, set across the first three ages of the Archniniei Imperium, from Year 798 to Year 3940


• Darvas, the autobiography of its namesake, the Archnin scientist Darvas N'Arquelotas, and the early story of his daughter's family


• The Onyx Golem, set during first fifty years of the founding of the First City and earliest in the timeline


• Wyvern's Fall, a tale of the Balagûnian crisis and currently latest in the timeline

With Baty's fine notion, your Nanowrimotion shall never lack for plot.
