Chronicles of the world
History
The events, rivalries and older powers that shape the stories of Sramad.
The Antonius family attack
The attack upon the Antonius family is a central event in the current chronology. General Antonius is missing, and his disappearance is entangled with a secret task for the Emperor.
The restoration of Aventis
Princess Sharma is the true hereditary ruler of Aventis. Her bloodline allows her to awaken the old crown and restore power through the city's ancient systems.
The older mines of Stelix
Stelix's southern mines are older than the present crown. Historical panels remember boats, panthers, miners, women and men wielding power, and a crowned woman before a mountain. Stelix preserves mistakes as warnings rather than presenting an immaculate heroic past.
The five family chronicles
The wider story follows Beatrice, Olivia, Max, Julia and Marcus across five books, with the father narrative continuing through their prologues and epilogues.
