#Old Notes - timeline thoughts
So we're going with Atlantis and Mu, right? I'll take the full "alien archaeology" theories as is. We're looking at 12000 years ago? Mahabharata as history text. The fight between the Asuras and the Daevas is what caused them to get stuck here. They're extra dimensional, like, 12 dimensions, and so don't physically exist here. They created the bloodlines as avatars- see above, we're back to the Mahabharata again. Is there any leeway in the timeline there? Make 2012 the beginning of the end instead of the climax? Need to think about it.Okay so Birthrights is part of the Lost the Sky universe too. The Mulians are constantly trying to "end the world" to shake loose of their trapped place here. One Mulian for each element. They created the capital-G gods. The Asura-Daeva war was between their "children" and yes the Asuras are the Aesir. The PIE gods are the originals but many of the pantheon gods might be considered hybrid gods - earth's spirits who were uplifted or the creations of those created gods. Africa was never really colonized, neither was Asia or the Americas. So North America… Instead of the whole country, you get white folks on both coasts, a few in the plains but more like Asia, maybe? No/less slave trade, Africa wasn't conquered? Severely curtailed imperialism. That'll alter the timeline for Clockwork Emperor/Chinoiserie, maybe? Not so much the World Wars, I don't think, except that the USA won't really be a power?
"Queen Jeni" was a sorceress queen with a goddess patron who went to war to keep her people away from the Christian influence and then sealed her kingdom into "Faerie" (lolArcadia)/the City to protect it. To take it back to Birthrights, her goddess is the Dark Lady and it takes place around the same time as Black Forest, I think. Her setting is firmly medieval - crusades, etc.
not!Bryon, in contrast, comes about a couple hundred years later. A woman from the outside, not!Anna, manages to wander into Arcadia. She falls for not!Kelvar and learns about their society and talks about hers and not!Bryon is sufficiently fascinated that he decides to
(The City essentially functions on narniatime rather than faerytaletime - long periods of time pass in the City during simple hours on earth. not!Bryon is far enough removed from Queen Jeni that she's nearly mythical and practically deified even though there aren't actually that many generations between them. They just age more slowly, hence the comparisons to elves. The Castle is part of the City, though fairly isolated. The Alchemist and his apprentices have been hard at work almost since they arrived, trying to find a way back. Once Jeni discovered she'd stranded her people, she took off on a Quest to find someone who could help them. She hasn't returned.
Bryon finally manages to unlock it and suddenly they're back in the real world and now what? Bryon goes on building faerytale castles and having psychotic breaks and attacking his best friend's wife, I'd imagine, though I don't know for sure.)
Jian spent all that time in the City to keep that particular door safe from Chenek. The Dragon has a serious hate-on for Chenek and the same in reverse, since Lotus's time or maybe even further back.
Can I fold the Michaelite stuff in, then? That's going to need some seriously reworking, since Sic Transit Fidei has lots of little fidly details that mark it as only lightly urban fantasy. That's okay, let's just leave it aside until I know what I want to do with it.
Flora and Celina, though, and Fire and Water, them I will take. Celina needs a new element. Metal, probably, since her wings are built. She's already got a steampunky world, so that works.
I wonder how much work it would be to rewrite Sic Transit Fidei to fit this?

"Wait, what about Master Feng?"He just smiled."That's not an answer," I pouted, but it didn't do me any good.
