Timeline -5000 to 24

Taerius' weakness
After the eleven abandoned Taerius wanted to continue his legacy and take revenge of those who had destroyed the world, the Highborne. He started to gather a following, an army with the same idealogs as himself and began to abandon his druidism for shadow magic and possible even necromancy. In the year -3000, Taerius began an eredication of the remaining Highborne of the continent, mass killings occurred sometimes without resistance. The skulls can still be seen in the Leafwalker Vault.

Meanwhile, Nadalas Lodal and Galan Olasnas traveled South into the newly created deserts and started to gather a following of their own. They got word of what Taerius was doing, and started preperation to head North. They were however held back by the Ravenwatch for some time. Not until the year -2000 when the Ravenwatch finally agreed to unite against Taerius they managed to come North.

The year turned -2000. But he soon saw armies coming from the South, his old ' friends' had come. Taerius decided to befriend a black dragon named Gorgomund who agreed to assist him.

A long war of 500 years took place where there was no winning, but the dragon Gorgomund grew too large and strong. He turned even against Taerius and fought and killed anyone on sight. The tyranny of this enemy stopped the war and the two old friends, Gortonul and Taerius united once more. They marched north to Mount Hyal where they fought him along with Lordalan Nolof, which managed to kill the beast. After this Taerius and Gortonul broke contact and Taerius returned to Darkshore and appears to have turned at that point. Taerius found out that years ago he accidentally acquired a son Vandos from a girl named Motura. But he did not begin with paying him a visit, he first slaughtered and murdered the entire Leafwalker family, he then killed off Motura. His son unaware of his mother's death was going to be next. But before he could do so, Taerius died mysteriously in his sons hands.

He was Before his father died he spoke of a Library, which he intented to seek out.

Vandos, remembering his father's last words about a ' library' decided to seek it out. And appears to had found it, afterwards however Vandos traveled to Moonglade and became a druid. He trained there for a long time, and did not come back for several hundreds of years.
