An Account of the History of Eyliarenn (Chronicle of Ynarn)

This exhaustive work's full title is An Account of the History and the Whole Island of Eyliarenn from Earliest Times until After the Final War, from the Remembrances of Several Learned Minds, though commonly referred to the Chronicle of Ynarn. The Account is a general and particular history of Eyliarenn in six volumes, covering the period from the earliest interactions of the Ellinirl and Riaroen peoples with the Old Ones through to the first decades after the close of the Final War, the durinal point from which the Floramy Calendar is derived.


The Account is divided into six volumes. The first covers the prehistory of the Errinirl referencing the early creation myths from their nomadic period, through their establishment of agriculture, cities and writing, and the influence and friendship of the Old Ones, the earliest sentient race established on Eyliarenn.


The second volume covers the Errinirl's relationship with the other races who later established themselves on the Continent; the native-born Riaroen and the émigré Kin-folk and Cincoel. The third volume considers the coming of the Great Ones, their initial negotiations with the Errinirl and the latter's land concessions, the establishment of their colony and their contact with the Kin-folk and the Riaroen, and their eventual adopting of some kinfolk communities for special benefits and advances.


The Fourth volume covers the period from when the Old Ones began to leave Eyliarenn (considering in particular the evidnce of the influence by the Great Ones on their decision to leave) through to the event that is believed to mark the beginning of the Final War, the murder of Sasys Paitop, the first Great One to perish on Eyliarenn soil.


The Fifth volume (originally the final volume), of the Account covers the period from the initial investigation of the death of Sasys Paitop and the dissention among the Great Ones, through the breaking of the factions and the beginning of the fighting, and the civil war that culminated in the near annihilation of the Great Ones at their own hands, and the Truce of the Three that brought the Final War to close.


The Sixth volume was an afterthought, prepared by Ynarn's associates and students, under his guidance and carefully articulated in his written voice, covers the near century-long period that followed the Final War known alternatively as the Long Winter, the Hundred-Year Winter and the Darkness. The volume finishes with an essay, dictated by Ynarn himself but referencing more than twenty of his teachers and contemporaries, on what should be learnt from the experience of the fourteen hundred or so years of historical events considered though the six volumes of the "Account".
