Algalon History Lecture Series

In this lecture, we will continue our discussion of the Mid-1000K, and in particular, I will tell you the creation myth for the close relationship of the Southern Trolls of Troll Island and the Najett.  We will also begin our discussion of the First War of the Races from the start and inclusion of the Najett, Sabike, Elves, Sylphs, and Gnolls - to the first acts of war by the Trolls.Feel free to send me royal mail to AlgalonHistory@gmail.com or send a bird to me at @AlgalonHMusical credits to https://www.youtube.com/c/Hildegardvonblingin/ and her rendition of the works of Lady Ga Ga

In this lecture, we will finish our discussion of the Mid-Thousand Kingdoms as I tell you about a second war of races in the area around Star Lake.  We will discuss the fact that this is actually the Fifth Great Race War of Star Lake, and why I didn't tell you about the others.   We will also look closer at the cultures of the Najett and Sabike.Feel free to send me royal mail to AlgalonHistory@gmail.com or send a bird to me at @AlgalonHMusical credits to https://www.youtube.com/c/Hildegardvonblingin/ and her rendition of the works of Lady Ga Ga.

In this bonus lecture, I will tell you about one of the greatest heroes in the Age of Chaos: Twatha.  She led a life that betrayed the cultural norms of Galacite Culture, but through skill and a fierce lack of giving a damn, she rose to incredible significance.Reach me at AlgalonHistory@gmail.comor @AlgalonH by tweeting bird.Musical Credits:“Somebody That I Used to Know” by GotyeArranged and Performed by Hildegard von Blingin, featuring Friar Funkhttps://www.youtube.com/c/Hildegardvonblingin/"Fear the Dark" by the Iron Maiden, First Composer Steve HarrisArranged and Performed by Algal the Bard https://www.youtube.com/c/AlgaltheBard

In this first Lecture of the Algalon History Lecture Series, we will discuss the two origin myths of the world: how the world came to be and how the mortals who lived upon it came to be abandoned.Music by: Lady Gaga as interpreted by Hildegard von Blingin' https://www.youtube.com/c/Hildegardvonblingin/Music by: The Fietchershttps://www.youtube.com/c/DerekBrandonFiechter

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.“Somebody That I Used to Know” by GotyeArranged and Performed by Hildegard von Blingin, featuring Friar Funkhttps://www.youtube.com/c/Hildegardvonblingin/

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.Credit to Hildegard von Blingin for her interpretation of the works of Lady Ga Ga :https://www.youtube.com/c/Hildegardvonblingin/

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.Credit to Hildegard von Blingin for her interpretation of the works of Lady Ga Ga :https://www.youtube.com/c/Hildegardvonblingin/

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.Credit to Hildegard von Blingin for her interpretation of the works of Lady Ga Ga :https://www.youtube.com/c/Hildegardvonblingin/

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.  Opening credit to https://www.youtube.com/user/stantough interpreting the works of the puppet masters of Sterline, Imagine Dragons.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 Dvorík Presage, 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.Reach me at AlgalonHistory at gmailor @AlgalonH by tweeting bird.“Somebody That I Used to Know” by GotyeArranged and Performed by Hildegard von Blingin, featuring Friar Funkhttps://www.youtube.com/c/Hildegardvonblingin/

In this lecture, we will discuss the Cult of St. Simon, which came about in 50 PG and we will discuss the dearth of evidence regarding the other two major sites of human activity.Feel free to send me royal mail to AlgalonHistory@gmail.com or send a bird to me at @AlgalonHMusical credits to https://www.youtube.com/c/Hildegardvonblingin/ and her rendition of the works of Lady Ga Ga.

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.Feel free to send me royal mail to AlgalonHistory@gmail.com or send a bird to me at @AlgalonHMusical credits to https://www.youtube.com/c/Hildegardvonblingin/ and her rendition of the works of Lady Ga Ga.

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.Feel free to send me royal mail to AlgalonHistory@gmail.com or send a bird to me at @AlgalonHMusical credits to https://www.youtube.com/c/Hildegardvonblingin/ and her rendition of the works of Lady Ga Ga.

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.Feel free to send me royal mail to AlgalonHistory@gmail.com or send a bird to me at @AlgalonHMusical credits to https://www.youtube.com/c/Hildegardvonblingin/ and her rendition of the works of Lady Ga Ga; andhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsyvPw367cQc8ufDH5k1L6g, Marcus Aurelius for his rendition of Radio Active, by Imaginary Dragons.

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.Feel free to send me royal mail to AlgalonHistory@gmail.com or send a bird to me at @AlgalonHMusical credits to https://www.youtube.com/c/Hildegardvonblingin/ and her rendition of the works of Lady Ga Ga

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.  Reach me at AlgalonHistory at gmailor @AlgalonH by tweeting bird.Musical Credits to:https://www.youtube.com/c/Hildegardvonblingin/ and her rendition of the works of Lady Ga Ga; andProfessor of Music Constantine the Bard and their interpretation of Lady Billie Eilish's work. https://www.youtube.com/c/ConstantineBard/about
