* 2304-2307 – Debate over Ouere-born Unathi. The largest pan-Moghes assembly so far ruled in favor of counting those born on Ouere as “native Unathi”, since the land was “blessed by Precursors”. However, this ruling will only be valid for some for 60 seasons (roughly 32 solar years).

This page deals with the events constituting the framework of Unathi historiography.

Sources

Although history and archaeology on Moghes are yet to be consolidated into proper scientific disciplines, many of the Unathi clans have been recording their history for millennia. Apart from rich oral tradition, textile art is used to keep track of the events, a practice known to the outsiders as “skein-weaving”: the term itself being a corrupted Sinta’Unathi word “sskhien”, meaning “tapestry” or “gobelin”. The intricate web of Sinta glyphs covering the skein are carefully handcrafted by Martiarchs, telling stories of great heroes and rulers, toil and sacrifice, religion and day-to-day life. The skein is a great treasure to any clan, and even in times most dire the clansmen will attempt to preserve their legacy at any cost. As of recent, however, there have been attempts at a more systematic research by many individual clans and other entities. At first it was fueled by the artifact rush – improvements in technology and method, allowed by foreign investment, have led to a renewed scramble for Precursor ruins, once hidden under radioactive sands but now excavated and looted. Later, major guilds have utilized their influence over the kaahnepos to crack down on prowlers and take over the excavation parties themselves.

Historiography

Most Worshipful Company of Restorers is a secretive, almost cult-like guild which devotes its efforts towards repairing and preserving ancient artifacts. Quartering in Si'gek Nels'thar of the North Pole, it is headed by Joge Korrliss Thrlass. Over the years the guild had accumulated considerable knowledge of ancient history, with the inner circle of the organization making sure that only chosen few stay in possession of invaluable lore. While there have been several attempts to create a comprehensive guide to the history of Moghes (including one undertaken by Skrell), Restorers were among the first natives to use a coherent linear timeline in their works, based on both tradition and actual data. It is usually rendered using traditional Unathi calendar. [Note: the Unathi year roughly equals 400 solar days, and consists of two seasons.] The timeline is divided into six unequal periods:

  • The Era of Spirits: from times immemorial to ~90,000 BCE (168,500 seasons ago).
  • Old Heroic Era: 90 – 80,000 BCE (168,500 to 150,000 seasons ago).
  • The Era of Struggle 90 – 40,000 BCE (150,000 to 77,200 seasons ago).
  • Heroic Era: 40 – 10,000 BCE (77,200 to 22,500 seasons ago).
  • The Era of Tradition: 10,000 – 1000 AD (22,500 to 6,000 seasons ago).
  • Modern Age: 1000 AD – 2309 AD (6,000 seasons ago – current time).

There’s been debate over what constitutes a “significant event” in Unathi history. Small scale events which dominated inter-clan warfare and realm building hardly left a mark on the ever-changing face of the planet, while the history itself was seen as something cyclic rather than linear, at least by the majority of Sinta and Yeosa population. Again, clan skeins proved invaluable in figuring out exact founding dates for major polar settlements.
