This bonus lecture was done at the request of the School of Theology. Lord Professor Alisander Harper will lead the lecture and will discuss some of the notable figures of the Church that were alive in the Middle Age of Chaos. Specifically, he will discuss the story of St. Hubert the Fool and St. Taleisin the Wise, both living in the southeast part of the continent; and he will discuss Blessed Thomas the Terrible, a part of the Synod of Tides and not the most well-liked of the pantheon of saints. I apologize in advance for Alisander's harsh demeanor. I swear, he is a friendly enough fellow.

In this lecture, we finish our discussion of the Ithdan Convergence. I admit that it may seem like I'm cutting it short, but there's so much more to cover and I could spend an entire course of advanced study on the region alone. So, we will talk about the formation of the other Galacite families: the Husserts and the Annecites. Then, we will talk about the War that Made Kaning Robledun go to the Bay (official title).

In this lecture, we discuss the final culture of the Ithdan Convergence: the Bahad. They are the southernmost of the cultures and have the most to fear from the Centaurs. But that doesn't mean they don't cause problems for their neighbors. Also: arts and crafts.

In this lecture, we will discuss how the Flood changed the cultures of the Janus, the Bottan, and the Poplaran. In particular we will discuss the famed Battle of Reeds, or what we know of it, and how that exemplifies the need for cultural adaptation.

In this bonus lecture, we will discuss one of the most important non-human figures of the Age of Chaos: the ruler of the Gy'thal Forest, High King Ne'a'lala'en. This lecture focuses primarily on his rise to power, particularly his actions during the settling of the North in 375 P.G. and slow takeover of the whole Githal Peninsula by 400 P.G.

In this lecture, we discuss the three indigenous cultures around the Galatian Plains as it begins the process of becoming the Galatian Bay. We discuss the Janus, those who lived closest to the Ocean; the Bottan, a violent culture who dominated the region; and the Poplaran, who populated the area of higher ground and safety. These cultures will clash and adapt as the years progress.

In this lecture, we will recap Early Age of Chaos and get oriented to the Middle Age of Chaos. To learn about the Middle Age, we will go region by region, culture by culture, rather than simple chronology. It will be easier to learn without mixing and matching what is going on in different places as they do not impact each other.

In this bonus lecture, we will explore the major landmarks or Algalon and speak briefly about the other continents. This is a basic primer of where you are in relation to the events of the Early Age of Chaos. For a map to follow, you can look at this: https://twitter.com/AlgalonH/status/1373277634990333954/photo/1

In this lecture, we will discuss the three tragedies that bring about the end of the early Age of Chaos. In 200 PG, the First Great Flood wreaks havoc in the west; in 250 PG, the Unknown Calamity halves the population of Centaurs and has effects throughout the continent; and in 300 PG, the Second Great Flood destroys the human communities in the Galatian Bay.

This lecture covers the organization and dominance of three races during the early Age of Chaos: the Elves, the Dwarves, and the Glassholm. We discuss the mutual agreement the Elves make to protect their borders from anyone: friend or foe. We discuss the creation of the Iron Kingdom and the reason why we know almost nothing of early Dwarven history. Finally, we discuss the mysterious Glassholm and their journey from the Iron Mountains down to the Land of the Glassholm, on the southern edges of Algalon.

In this lecture, we discuss the facts surrounding the life of St. Simon and how well it matches with the stories told by the Church. We will discuss cave paintings and mass graves to determine what actually happened.
Closing credits to https://www.youtube.com/c/Hildegardvonblingin/ and her rendition of the works of Lady Ga Ga.
In this bonus lecture, I discuss the three primary sources I will use as we discuss the early Age of Chaos. Those three sources are On Human Tribes by A'dana'llan, an elf of Gy'thal or the Forest of Green; The War of Ilvalitania by DvoríkPresage, a human strategist; and the Caves of Dá. I will also discuss the meaning of a "primary" source, as opposed to a "secondary" source.
This lecture is presented as I failed to tell you about these sources before. If you ever feel that I have missed some important fact, please let me know. I will endeavor to do a bonus lecture of some type each month.

In this lecture, we will discuss St. Simon, the first and foremost Saint within the Church of Algalon. Specifically, we will discuss the stories and lessons of St. Simon as told by the Church with the heaving lifting coming from St. Anthony the Modest, Archfather and Speaker of the Congress of the Gods following the Lion Civil War in the 400s YL.

In this Lecture, we finish our discussion about the world in Year 0. Then, we discuss two of the first verifiable individuals who we know were alive in Year 0: the First, a dwarf who led his people into the Iron Mountains; and Kyrrh, a centaury who led a somewhat different life.
As always, email me at algalonhistory@gmail.com or tweet at @AlgaonH on Twitter. Right now, I have posted a timeline of the important events from the Age of Chaos and I hope to put up a larger timeline soon, in addition to some maps to orient you as to some of the locations you may not be able to place.

In today's lecture, we will discuss the importance of using sources to provide context. We will also discuss the system we use to date the Age of Chaos and will finally discuss what the world would probably have been like coming out of the Breaking of the Gods.

In today's lecture, we will discuss the myth of the Breaking of the Gods through the lens of two different cultures: a tribe of riders from the Agrigan Plains, who moved northward and became the Ashenasi; and weavers and sailors from the Silken Counties, who moved northward and ended up in the land of a Thousand Kingdoms, as well as the islands we call the Port of Life.

In this lecture, I will simply recite the origin myths as they are taught by the Synod of the Father. These are the two stories I compared the other cultures' stories to.
