Continuity/Basic Backstory

The basic backstory of Asheron's Call involves the following events:

1. The discovery of portal magic.
2. The Olthoi invasion of Auberean, and Asheron's involvement in that event.
3. Asheron's casting of the Sundering.
4. The events that summoned Isparians and other creatures to Dereth.
5. The Olthoi's enslavement of Isparians, the Isparian rebellion, and the events leading up to Portal Year 10.

This story has been told many times, and there is often inconsistency with these tales.
