    Confusionesque Philosopher

    Promotes a Caste system that is based upon personal ability and interest. Ideas for Castes are formed: Warrior, Labor, Learning, Trade. (Currently a loose collection of God-King like pseudo rulers made up of whoever makes the greatest argument.)

    Rise of Vorinism

    Convinces and deals with current rulers to create a system for government that encourages an equality in the afterlife depending upon ones' ability in life. Creates the Priest Caste. (Creates a Caste System Based Upon Occupation and Ability but does not Value one Caste above another) (Might have some skeletons in the closet regarding the elimination of the previous rulers)
  • 400 BCE

    Tyranny of Vorinism

    Vorin Priests Consolidate power and usurp the status quo to establish their own rule. (Places Priest Caste Above Other Castes)
  • 1 BCE

    The Caste Revolution

    All of the Castes band together and overthrow the Vorin Priesthood. Priests are no longer able to own anything and are little better than slaves. A return to the original caste system with certain laws in place to stop an attempt at elevating one caste above another.

    A Second Chance for the Priest Caste

    Priest Caste is given a second chance and are uplifted from "slavery." Note: They are still forbidden from owning anything they are simply forgiven for past offences and are no longer severely ostracized.

    Enter the Foreigners / Enter the Consul

    The first official meeting with foreign officials occurs. It goes horrifically. Because of a lack of a central voice talks devolve into a shouting match. It is decided to create a new Caste that will be responsible for the management of people. (Creates a Governing Caste.)

    Rulership Laws

    Laws are instituted that limit what the Consul (Tested Ruler) is allowed to do. Also a rotating Consul elected from the other Castes (Not Priest) is established every 5 years. Every Caste elects their own Consul without input from the other Castes (Priests offer advice but nothing else). Ex. Labor Consul > Warrior Consul > etc.
