RELIGION ACROSS PYRESPACE
Yondalla and Her Saints: The Hin – and, by extension, all those they conquer – practice a monotheistic faith, worshiping a single bountiful earth-mother-deity, Yondalla, alongside an astonishing number of her Saints; the Church also recognizes the power of Asmodeus, King of Hell and Master of Devils, who is commanded by Yondalla to punish the wicked.
Technically, Asmodeus and his Seven Devil Princes – Dispater, the Iron King; Mammon, the Spirit in Gold; Belial, the Pale Kiss; Geryon, the Serpent; Moloch, the Ashen Bull; Baalzebul, Lord of the Flies; and Mephistopheles, the Merchant of Souls – are all Saints of the Church.
The Ordo Repentia Infernalis serves as the “secret” inquisitorial arm of the Church: dedicated to the tracking & execution of heretics, especially (but not limited to) worshippers of Dagon.
Many of the other Saints recognized by the Church of Yondalla are, in point of fact, actually deities once worshiped by various (now conquered) human cultures, deemed inoffensive enough to be folded into Mother Church as “blessed of Yondalla, beautified in her holy light”.
Direct worship of these Saints is illegal (a form of idolatry), but observation of a Saint’s holy day — in accordance with Church Law — is encouraged. In some of the more culturally relaxed parts of Cyrrolaelee, for example, prayers to Saint Fharlanghn are as common as prayers to Yondalla.
Other Saints, such as St. Davian, are near-mythologized historical figures.
—
Corellon and Lolth: To be clear, “worship” is a strong word.
That said, the elves of Perianth venerate quite deeply the honored, immortal founders of their august race, seeking the guidance and blessing – in equal measure – of their Emperor and Empress in all things.
The Western Courts identify Corellon as a sun-deity (the Phoenix Emperor) and Lolth as a moon-goddess (the Beautiful Eclipse), while the Eastern Courts refer to Corellon as a lunar deity (the Moonlit Dragon) and Lolth as a sun-goddess (the Crimson Empress).
No matter the court, Corellon is regarded as master over the wild Seelie, while Lolth is understood to be mistress over the demonic Unseelie.
—
Dagon: The single unifying, founding principleof the Ordo Repentia Infernalis is to seek-out the extermination of Dagon, the Shadow in the Sea, false god who sleeps beneath the waves, and of all who bow in fealty to him.
Of his horrid church, little enough needs be known: wicked dreams born of his thrashing nightmares in the black Abyss at the bottom of the world corrupt men to heresy, blasphemy, cannibalism, witchcraft, transmutation into horrid monstrosities of the deep, and human sacrifice.
The Court of Dagon
Although the vast, dark Shadow in the Sea is commonly understood to act, moment to moment, as the simplest and most ravenous of oceanic beasts – an unthinking, thrashing monster of pure bloodthirsty instinct and hatred – the Church of Yondalla identifies seven wicked spirits that serve him: dancing about his throne, attending to his every whim.
Shax, Demon Lord of Envy & Murder
Xoveron, Demon Lord Gluttony & Ruin
Areshkagal, Demon Lord of Greed & Riddles
Nocticula, Demon Lord of Lust & Beauty
Socothbenoth, Demon Lord of Pride & Perversity
Jubliex, Demon Lord of Sloth & Filth
Orcus, Demon Lord of Wrath & the Dead
The Inquisition makes special effort to watch the gargoyles under their care and in their service, as the race was known – in ancient days – to serve the demon Xoveron; many clergy members require that gargoyles under their command remain upon a strict diet, so as not to temp the spirit of gluttony.
—
Vasalissa the Beautiful: So little of “original” gnomish culture survives to the modern era – in the wake of countless cataclysms – that no unifying “faith” can be said to unite the diaspora of what was once the Circle of Gold.
That said, gnomes and warforged light candles and whisper quiet prayers to Vasalissa the Beautiful: a clever, tenacious protagonist who appears again and again across the deep storytelling tradition of the gnomish people: a sprawling, multilayered weave of tales that stretch back to the time of their world’s pre-history, the memorization of which borders on the spiritual.
Common tales in the canon – upon which every TRUE storyteller is expected to add his or her own unique twists – often deal with the trials, misadventures, and misfortunes of Vasalissa and a few other stock characters:
Mother Kindness (also called ‘Grandmother Kindness’)
The Child Dreamer
Greedy Glitterpot & Lumpy Fathead
The Hungry Baby
Elder Tree
The Honest Youth (sometimes ‘The Two Honest Youths’)
The Farmer’s Wife
Mocho & Pocho (one of whom is always hungry, and the other of which is always sleepy)
Cleverest Jack (sometimes with his twin brother, Mister Hubris)
The River Serpent
The First-Forged, and his three children: Stone, Wood, and Tin
Mean-Old-Two-Heads, the Giant
The Silent Wolf
Curiously, the natives of Fenris tell fantastic tales, in their own languages, nearly identical to the ancient legends of Vasalissa and her many adventures.
—
Cult of the Dragon Moons: As far as the Chirch of Yondalla is concerned, this organization is merely a group of deluded Dagon-worshipers seduced into a bizarre heresy obsessed with returning-to-life the ancient “dragons” that are said to have once ruled Pyrespace.
This bizarre faith is known – and possibly native – to every world in the system, but is most prevalent in the jungles of Verdura and across the dunes of Ashen.
—
Moradin:The dwarves do not speak often of their religion, but keep it close to heart: burning, eternally, in a fortress of stone buried beneath their breast.

PYRESPACE TIMELINE
This timeline is based on the Yondallan calendar, which dates events to before and after the defeat of the giant Gol’Kaa by St. Davian (‘Ano Davia’ or the Year of Davian) and the subsequent rise of the Hin as the dominant form of life on Quelya.
Although years, months and even days are difficult to translate between planetary bodies, this single system is still the most frequently used: the current official time and date are tracked at the Great Clockhouse of Lagas, maintained by the Church of Yondalla, and backed-up in the nation-city of Beshaba.
The average occupant of the system does NOT know most of these dates nor the majority of the information presented here, with perhaps the exception of bolded items; these more-detailed notes are included simply for player reference, especially for the benefit of characters with an education in system-wide history.

???? – the mysterious Precursors reign undisputed over the entirety of Pyrespace, preforming such impossible miracles as seeding humans across the system, uplifting the Crown of Sapphire to serve as a miniature star, crafting the Hole in the Infinite (a wormhole in orbit around the Crown of Sapphire), crafting the Celestial Pearl (for reasons unknown), establishing a number of now-fallen megastructures (cities, temples, and more esoteric objects) on every known world, and – according to several ancient records – the establishment of a now-vanished interplanetary “web-way”.

Hey WoW RPers, this is for you! I realized how often I need to crack open my visual guide to help people with timeline answers, so I figured I would upload the full thing as images. It was released during MoP so it ends there, but we’re in about Year 32 as of my posting this (assuming WoD took a year).
Hope this helps!
Wrath only taking a year feels so strange to me, but most of the timeline does anyway. So, nonetheless, this is super useful! Thanks @shithowdy! Post link
Bitty starting college at 18 and being in the class of 2017 (meaning he’ll graduate when he’s 22) means HE WAS 15 AT THE TIME OF SOUTHERN JUNIOR REGIONALS 2010. Which means it was either spring of his freshman year or fall of his sophomore year of high school.
The closet incident was in 7th grade. Which means Bitty kept skating- FOR YEARS- after it happened. It wasn’t what made him give up figure skating like we’ve all been head-canoning for so long. He was locked in the closet and he kept skating anyway. Yeah Bitty!!
(Also, can someone verify for me that the move IS the reason he quit? I know everyone agrees on that but I thought we agreed on the move and quitting happening soonish after the closet incident and WOW.)
And also- Bitty went from figure skating championships at age 15 to being CAPTAIN of the hockey team his junior and senior years. He would have been about 16.5 when the season started his junior year. What. HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE. Yes, he seems to imply that being captain might not have been a big deal because it was a “small town” team but we know his tape was incredible enough to get a full athletic scholarship to a Division I school (we know it’s Division I because they play Yale).
If he didn’t start playing hockey until after he quit figure skating (which seems super likely but please confirm if you can) even if he quit right after the Southern Junior Regionals championship then that means he reached Division I levels in 3 years. Here we were all thinking he started playing in 8th grade after the closet incident but… appparently not??? Turns out he’s an even more incredible skater/learner/athlete than we all realized (ya hear that, Coach??). @ngoziu , what are you even doing to us? Does Bitty have super powers?? Is he actually a secret future member of the superhero comic you’ve been sketching out recently? Was Superhero Bitty your plan all along???
My mind, it is blown. And this fic I was working on needs to be, like, completely re-written because I’m determined to make it as canon-compliant as possible.
Please let me know if there’s more to this that I’m missing!! And cite your sources, please! I feel like Tango now. I have…. so many questions.
So I did this thing in September of 2018 and it somehow broke 1,000 notes(!!!) and I’ve seen some posts recently about timelines and Bitty’s background so I thought I’d share what I managed to put together.

Tonight, we will begin with a simple exercise. Simply close your eyes and imagine a peaceful scene filled with everything and everyone that you can imagine that is of Love. These things we speak of are all around you. Do you have eyes to see?
We will begin tonight’s session with a small group of beings who are here to bring you the good news. You are being asked to anchor the light into Mother Earth and we are collectively raising the vibration of the planet as a whole.
We are waking up from the collective dream just in time to begin another dream; only this time we will create it together. We are all being asked to step up at this time and bring forth this New Reality. We have come together at this time to give one final push to the darkness as it fades away into the distance.
You have come here at this time to lend support to your brothers and sisters who may still be sleeping. Very soon they are going to need your Light to find their way out of the darkness. Do not shy away from them because they have been asleep. You yourself were once sleeping deeply.
Show your brothers and sisters the same compassion you were shown upon awakening to the reality you have been living in. Begin tonight to practice patience and tolerance for you have been given the gift of peace.
You have been shown the way out for you have searched for it. Now is the time to let your unique light shine so brightly that the others may find their way out of the darkness. Non-judgment and non-attachment are the way to accomplish this.
You have been given a unique set of skills and now is the time to put them to use. You are an extremely creative being who has been stifled for far to long now. Just one more try is all Spirit asks of you. You may be surprised by the reaction that occurs in this New Energy Structure.
You may find that your efforts at helping the world are rewarded by the beauty springing forth all around you. You have come to earth at this time to activate the powers which have laid dormant within you for centuries.
You have begun to see what others cannot or will not look at. You march courageously into the dark to illuminate the hearts and mind of beings around the globe. You know not what a single act of kindness does. You see not how far the ripples go out into the universe.
If you were to only help one person on their journey and they help thousands how many people have you helped? The number is infinite and expands out in all directions. Begin to use these talents you have and very shortly you will find that a whole New World has opened up before you.
You once lived in the dark and knew not how to shine your light. You are now a warrior ready to head into battle. You have begun a most auspicious journey. Already your Light is shining around the globe. You have begun to see your efforts pay off as the common vision comes into focus.
You dare to go deep into the darkness for you are the Light. No darkness can reach you for you reside in a space that the darkness cannot reach. Begin tonight to visualize the world you wish to see and bring it into being.
2022 is the year of massive change as more and more wake up from their slumber. Already you may have those reaching out to you wondering what is going on and how you are able to remain at peace during this transition.
You have become a conductor of Light as it flows through your entire cellular structure. You have done the work it takes to clear out the darkness within and begin again. You are a warrior of Light and you are here for a purpose.
Begin again and forget everything you think you know about anything. Begin from a place of childlike wonder and you may find the magic that has seemed to disappear from your reality. It is still there waiting on you to view it once again.
These are the promises that have been made to you and these are the promises we intend to keep. Today is a New Day and the world is waking up…
Tonight, we will discuss peace. This is the peace which will bring new awareness into your being. Go deep within your being and feel the love and joy that is ever present. Clear away the clutter in your mind for a moment and come to full awareness.
This awareness is what you seek. You will not find it elsewhere. You have been searching for the answers as to what is going on when the answers are inside. Go within and seek and you will find that place deep within where Spirit resides.
We are here to show you how to use these tools of forgiveness and compassion. We are all One Being imagining we are separate when nothing could be further from the truth. You imagine a world divided. We see Unity Consciousness blooming.
You imagine that somehow we could fail in this mission. Nothing could be further from the Truth. You have already won. We are waiting here at the finish line cheering you on. Rest deep in the knowing that humanity is waking up at last. Let the peace of this awareness wash over you.
You have been here before in other lifetimes but couldn’t quite get there. Yet I tell you this, you have made it. You are being shown a new way to live. You are being guided and directed unto a New Path. The bridge between worlds is complete. Will you cross over into this New Dimension?
Right before your eyes you will view the changes taking place. Indeed, they have already begun. No longer will you walk in darkness for you are the Light. You shine your weird light so brightly that you have illuminated the hearts and minds of thousands, if not millions across the globe.
You know not what a single act of kindness really does. It’s the ripple on the pond that stretches out into infinity. You are this wave of light ever expanding. Begin tonight to see how peaceful you can get. Bring yourself to stillness and the peace shall arise. Tell yourself, ‘I can go deeper’ and do this each time you go further and further into ABSOLUTE KNOWING.
This is a place beyond thought, beyond the drama and sorrows of this world. This is inside your vessel if you tap into it. It may be obscured by calamity but still it remains. It is the center of your being; your essence that is timeless and eternal.
Imagine a jar filled with water and sand. If you shake it around it will be cloudy and murky. Imagine this is within your vessel and see how still you can be. Will you let the dust of yesterday settle so you may view life clearly? How still can you be? For how long?
Bring yourself to full awareness by settling down. Let the thoughts in your mind settle like grains of sand flowing backwards in time. Then you will see a clear picture of what is occurring here. You will view the most magnificent being that has ever been and ever will be. You will be face to face with yourself; with your true essence.
Being still requires no effort but it can be difficult to do. That’s the paradox. Simple but not easy. We are here to show you how to go beyond the mind; beyond this illusion that has been created for you. Now you will begin creation in the Real World as it was meant to be.
Mankind was designed to live in balance with nature and to that She is returning. We are going back to basics, back to a time before everything seemed to be a struggle. We are growing up together. Bring your friends along. They will be happy to join you.
When several minds gather together and connect at the heart level miracles occur. Soon you will see evidence of the Massive Change that is taking place as more and more of you wake up. It is not your job to wake the others; they will awaken. It is your job to simply be the light so that when they awaken, they can find their way home as well.
We are all in this TOGETHER walking each other home. We have begun to enliven your politicians and they are aware that they may no longer operate in the dark. Full transparency is the order of the day for so many have awakened and are now shining their unique light on multiple situations.
Very soon we shall see concrete evidence of this New World forming. We are the ones we have been waiting for. The time is now, and the fruit is ripe. Enjoy the show as it unfolds before you. Learn to still the heart and mind and you may find you are now living in a world of pure imagination.

Mar 16: non-trinary is coined synonymously with non-quaternary, but meaning the same as “aquaternary” alluding a tridimensional trinary (a conventional trinary (M./F./N. [N. of neuter/neutral]) that includes nullity
Mar 17: (qua)ternary/binary nongender unspecification is also beyond neither and both
Mar 22: A(qua)ternary pops up with non(qua)ternary
JUNE 4:@exorsexistbullshit defines “gender trinarism” describing it as “the idea that all nonbinary people are just a separate gender from women and men”
11 June: first atrinary flag, using anonbinary flag format
16 August: second atrinary flag, using abinary flag template
2019
Jan 6th:@momma-mogai-sphinx coins the first flag for “anontrinary” and groups atrinary, anontrinary and anonbinary as “specific subcategories for nonbinary gender identities”
Jan 20th: leptary is coined, now nontrinary is a nongender arity and atrinary an agender arity
Mar 27th: gender arities are reorganized and explained individually
Jul 8th: user leptrois (us)/we explain(s) leptarity/leptariety
Do you remember another significant event for trinary? Comment in the notes or reblogging so we know/sending an ask
I went and collected a few seers we know can see the future and a few items that allow people to see the future. All together we had a total of 7 individual ways to look into the future. Out of all of the different ways and positions that we looked, there are 4 outcomes for this planet’s future in 100 years.
A. Dead planet with nothing on it. A few artificial life forms here and there but it’s mostly just barren.
B. Enslaved world under absolute dictatorship. This is where something has conquered the planet and everything is miserable.
C. Everything is fine and the world is just more advanced in technology.
D. Half the world is a wasteland while the remaining half is in a heated battle with some unknown forces that seek to destroy what’s left of the planet.
So yeah. This is our possible futures. Just letting you all know in advance. Sorry to destroy all your future timeline fan fictions.
[[Of course I only find out NOW that Bidesh actually means “foreign land”, not “homeland” like I thought it did. Oops.
I suppose it does make the position of Bangladesh/Bengal’s magical community in the larger context a little more *interesting*…definitely adds to Ayesha’s perpetual foreigner angst.
Speaking of which: in the very first post here I wrote that she left the magical world after O.W.L.s when I really meant N.E.W.T.s. Then when I looked up timelines I saw that if she was 28 now she would have been old enough to attend Hogwarts at the end of the war, which I didn’t want her to do.
I’ve currently got it so that reconstruction plus migration means she enters Hogwarts around age 13 (so second/third year - I don’t understand how you Westerners do school cutoff dates srsly) but if I kept the reference to O.W.L.s then she’s only involved for about 2-3 years, which seems short.
Should I retcon? If so, which way do I retcon - entry date, end date, both? Any other ideas?]]
Click on the events to read my notes explaining my reasoning behind choosing that date/time.
(I haven’t tried looking at these calendars from any other time zone; hopefully they will work. Let me know if the times seem off and I will try to fix that.)
If you want the timeline in long form, keep reading.
When I migrated over to Twitter for #SaveShadowhunters, inertia sort of took over and I never made it back. And then life sort of took over and I was largely absent from social media altogether the last few months. But Tumblr is where I want to be as much as I can for season 3b.
In preparation for tonight’s episode, I figured I would FINALLY get around to updating the timeline for the rest of season 3a. I haven’t gotten around to updating the Google calendar yet and I don’t know if I will. We’ll see.
making this was a little bittersweet because i ultimately didn’t make as much time for art as i wanted to this year, and also drew a lot of things i was unsatisfied with/didnt end up finishing… hoping that next year I can get my mojo and priorities back lmao
