The Ages of the Saga
Timeline
The Timeline of V The First is more than a record of years—it is a living chronicle where the tides of history and the pulse of myth flow as one. It begins at the dawn of the 14th century, when famine, war, and faith reshaped a fractured Europe, and Basarab, the iron-willed warlord, rose to forge the first throne of Wallachia. Across the century, the saga follows the line of his blood to Prince Mircea, father of Vlad II and grandfather to Vlad III—Dracula—whose birth would cast a long shadow across legend and memory. Every milestone of kings and battles is set against the thunder of world-shaping events—the Great Famine, the Black Death, the shifting borders of empires—revealing how the fate of a dynasty intertwined with the destiny of an age.
Yet its roots dig deeper, reaching beyond the mortal chronicle to an older order: the grandeur of Imperial Greece, the rise and fall of Rome, and an age all but lost to time, when Revenant Lords ruled the hidden world alongside the proud Lycan clans. That ancient pact was broken by a cataclysmic war that drove the wolves to near extinction, leaving only whispers of prophecy that one day they might return. The timeline thus becomes a bridge between myth and memory, a sweeping arc of centuries in which kingdoms rise, fall, and are haunted still by powers moving unseen beneath the veil of history.

Timeline:
1300 AD
In the Realm of Mankind
The Rise of Basarab
Basarab rebels against the kings of Hungary and becomes the first prince of independent Wallachia. Founder of the House of Basarab, from which Vlad III—Dracula was born.
In the Unseen Realm
The Silver Wolf is born
A prophecy echoes from a forgotten era, the very same prophecy that caused the "great war of the underworld" and the genocide of the lycan race. It speaks of the advent of a Silver Wolf that would bring the demise of the Revenant Overlord that rules the unseen realm.
1313 A.D.
In the World of Men
The Massacre of in the Convent
The year was 1313, when riders of the Papal State descended like a scourge upon the Convent of Sainte Catherine in the shadowed wilds of southern Transylvania. What followed was no battle, but a butchery—an unholy silence after a night of screams, where every voice was extinguished and only a single boy, young Wolfgang, crawled from the blood-soaked ruin of his shattered world.
In the Unseen
The Revenant and the Lycan cub
From those ashes came salvation cloaked in mystery: Lord Darius von Croÿ, a noble with eyes like winter steel and secrets older than the land itself. He gathered Wolrgang, the broken child into his care, becoming mentor, guardian, and the architect of a darker destiny that no oracle could yet foresee.
The All-Mother
Restless Slumber
1314 A.D.
In the Unseen
The All-Mother Stirs
In the spring of 1314, deep within her shadowed cave in the heart of the Forbidden Forest between Wallachia and Transylvania, the All-Mother stirred. She was neither fully awake nor lost in slumber, a vast and ancient presence caught between dream and memory—yet the tremor of her unrest rippled across the earth, and the world itself seemed to shudder at her stirring.
In the World of Men
The Gypsy girl and the Noble boy
In 1314, a nomadic Romani tribe arrived on the outskirts of Rosenberg, Bohemia. Living with them was a beautiful dancer named Taliatha, who had been having sensual dreams about a young redhead. She never imagined that Jaromír, the nobleman she had been dreaming of, was also having the same dreams about her. Their love was forbidden and predestined.
The Great Famine
In the early years of the 14th century, long before plague swept across Europe, the land itself seemed to betray its people. The Great Famine of 1314–1322 descended like a slow, unrelenting curse: relentless rains drowned the fields, harvests rotted where they stood, and bitter winds stole the warmth from summer’s heart. Grain stores dwindled to dust, livestock perished in the mire, and villages withered beneath gray, weeping skies. Hunger turned neighbor against neighbor, and the toll of despair claimed more lives than any sword—leaving behind hollow-eyed survivors who whispered that heaven had turned its face away, and that the earth’s suffering heralded darker trials yet to come.
In the Unseen
The Birth of a Cambion
Emissaries of the four elemental covens converge in the birth of a girl who not only carries the blood of the witches, but her father is an incubus demon, which makes her a cambion, the second to be allowed to live. Her name is Talyssa
1318 A.D.
In the Unseen

The Beast
Wolfgang, almost 18, is becoming a formidable specimen, an apex predator in his prime. He becomes increasingly difficult to control. His emotions and impulses are untamed, and his romantic feelings for his protector are unrequited. Lord Darius disappears, and Lady Bathory re-emerges as the Lady of Var von Croy, who will transform Wolfgang into a coveted nobleman.
In the World of Men
The Great Bovine Pestilence
The Flemish Revolt of 1323–1328 erupted when heavy taxation and pro-French policies by Count Louis of Nevers inflamed widespread unrest among peasants, artisans, and the rising urban classes of Flanders. Rebel forces under leaders like Nicolaas Zannekin seized major towns and even captured the count himself, forcing temporary concessions until France intervened militarily. The uprising ended with the French victory at the Battle of Cassel in 1328, crushing the revolt and stripping Flemish cities of their hard-won autonomy.
1324 A.D.
In the Unseen
The New Lord
Wolfgang becomes a lord, husband, and father, but his true love was not something he could even consider fulfilling.
In the World of Men

The All-Mother
Awaken
In the World of Men
1346 A.D.
In the Unseen
She's Awake
In the spring of 1346, the All-Mother is fully awake and out of her cave in the Forbidden Forest. Asleep for centuries, when awaken before time, the primordial goddess has no memories or knowledge of her true identity, she is all emotion and those emotions have repercussions upon the world. She remains awake for over a decades.
The Black Death
In the mid-14th century, from 1346 to 1353, as Europe struggled to rise from famine’s shadow, a new terror crept ashore with the bite of a flea and the breath of the wind—the Black Death. From distant eastern steppes it rode the trade routes, silent and unseen, until the bells of a thousand towns tolled in mourning. The plague struck swiftly, blackening flesh and choking the breath of rich and poor alike, sparing neither king nor child. Cities became charnel houses, roads lined with abandoned carts of the dead, and the air itself seemed heavy with dread and incense. To many, it felt as though the very wrath of heaven—or something older and darker still—had been loosed upon the world, forever altering the course of history and leaving Europe scarred, diminished, and haunted by its memory.
The Final Rite
1353 AD
The Binding Rite
The Summon and the Sacrifice
By decree of the Revenant Lords, the unseen kind—those gifted to command the raw elements and the secret currents of the world—were summoned to the shadowed brink of the Forbidden Forest. There, beneath a sky heavy with omens, they performed a dread rite to raise a barrier strong enough to bind the All-Mother and seal her seething radiance of ruin within those accursed woods. For many among the Children of the Night, the offering demanded by that ritual was nothing less than life itself—a sacrifice paid in silence, that the world might endure one more dawn.
1400 AD
Janna & Mircea
