 ==== The Sun's Blasphemies (7839 - 7841) ====
-During the 2 years reign of emperor Set I, The art of daemon binding was created. This led to great tensions between the established churches of Jaern and the empire, eventually culminating in a banning of all religious practices. This ban was lifted shortly after Set I died due to a mysterious illness. However, daemon binding became an integral part of the empire during this time. This subsequently led to the founding of the four orders of the binders.
+During the 2 years reign of emperor Set I, the art of demon binding was created. Fiends of all sorts were contracted with and subjugated, becoming nothing more than tools of magic for some, and objects of worship for others.

 ==== The Expansion (7977 - 8977) ====
-Under Empress Cleopatra, the Empire of the Veil saw massive expansion, a skilled warrior and daemon binder. She built a powerful navy and army and set out to conquer other islands, reaching almost to the island of Lojem but was stopped short. While the empress died before she got to see the fruits of her labor, this did bring about a golden age for the empire. During her reign Empress Cleopatra also developed the sandstrider techniques, magic that allowed her warriors and herself to tap into the land’s energy for increased strength, agility, and stamina. Some of the techniques could even mold the ground or summon sand to defend allies and blind enemies. Cleopatra was one of the only people also known for binding three Daemons to herself, Beelzebub, Mammon, and Asmodeus. She was nearly unstoppable, only the greatest enemy, time, finally ended her life. Her descendents continued the conquest up until 8977.

 ==== The Dark Sun (9123) ====
-Records tell of a black sun that swallowed the light, a beast was birthed from it and laid waste to the empire, destroying everything in its path. A beast of fire, light, and stone; it was too powerful, only by the combined strength of the brothers were they able to seal it away for a time. However they were unable to save the island itself, the damage from the beast caused the island to sink, some people were able to flee to nearby islands to survive. With the death of their homes the brothers argued over the next course of action. This argument lasted for forty days and forty nights, until eventually the family decided it would be best to part ways. And so the Valtalus tribe separated, one stayed with the ancestral home until Ageron was raised from the waters. The other would travel all the way to Centralia and settle in what would become Prall.
