=== Dark Majesty === The AC:DM manual's ''Long Ago'' section contain the following summary of the Olthoi Rebellion: :''For many years the humans lived as Olthoi slaves, but a band of rebels led by the commoner Elysa Strathelar and the nobleman Thorsten Cragstone rose up to fight. Aided by Asheron's Magic, they slew the Olthoi queen and won freedom, though the fight cost Thorsten his life.''<ref name=ACDMManualLongAgo>2001/10 [[Dark Majesty]] - [[Asheron's Call Dark Majesty Manual]]: [[Asheron's Call Dark Majesty Manual/Long Ago|Long Ago]]</ref> The AC:DM manual's ''The Tale Thus Far'' section opens with the following statement: :''Eleven years after the Isparians won their freedom from the Olthoi, the skies chilled and the snowline dipped from the peaks of the Lost Wish and Linvak mountain ranges, until the entire island of Dereth was coated in snow.''<ref name=ACDMManualTheTaleThusFar>2001/10 [[Dark Majesty]] - [[Asheron's Call Dark Majesty Manual]]: [[Asheron's Call Dark Majesty Manual/The Tale Thus Far|The Tale Thus Far]]</ref> The AC:DM [[Lore Videos/Asheron's Call|intro video]] is the same video content as the original intro, but this version includes a voice-over from Elysa. Information of note from the video is that Elysa and Thorsten were the first humans Asheron had seen.<ref name=ACDMIntroVideo>2001/10 [[Dark Majesty]] - [[Lore Videos]]: [[Lore Videos/Asheron's Call Dark Majesty|Asheron's Call Dark Majesty]]</ref> The AC:DM CD Lore's ''Ages of the Empyrean'' contains the following information related to the Olthoi Rebellion:<ref name=AgesOfTheEmpyrean>2001/11 [[Dark Majesty]] - [[AC:DM CD Lore]]: [[AC:DM CD Lore/Ages of the Empyrean|Ages of the Empyrean]]</ref> :''The year Isparians were delivered from bondage to the Olthoi was, by Yalaini reckoning, ME 579. In the common calendar, this is called Portal Year (P. Y.) 0.'' :''Humans began arriving in Dereth in ME 564.'' :''The One Queen of Dereth was slain by Thorsten Cragstone and Elysa Strathelar in 579. Borelean Strathelar, Prince of New Aluvia, was born the following year.'' A month after AC:DM was released, the lore piece ''The Eyes of a Child'' was published. It contains the following information related to the Olthoi Rebellion:<ref name=TheEyesOfAChild>2001/12 [[The First Strike]] - [[Microsoft Zone Archive]]: [[Microsoft Zone Archive/Asheron's Lore/The Eyes of a Child|The Eyes of a Child]]</ref> :''Summer had melted into autumn, leaving the days shorter. The boy didn't care, he just wanted to chase the butterflies. Six years old and full of life. Seven years had passed since the Olthoi queen was killed, since Elysa had lost Thorsten, since Borelean had lost his unknown father.'' :''Seven years was not that long after all, and this time of year always came too quickly and too quietly.'' :''"When I knew. . . that I was carrying him, I should have told Thorsten. He should have known that he would have this child. . . but--"''
