Excerpt from The History of Valthera, by Artemis Asinere, on the topic of Shire and the Aeons
... The one now known simply as Shire, came and took what he so desired, he held nothing back from himself. He took many wives and many concubines until their number amounted to 1090, so was the way of the Shire.
Shire’s seed was potent, after one year’s time his sons and daughters amounted to more than his wives, his seed bore him twins, triplets so on and so forth.
According to their kinds they were gathered, being named after and by the Great Lord Cle’vier Shire.
Among these were the twins of Berkshire who was son of Cle’vier: Leoshire and Feroshire and their relatives.
Feroshire grew in anger and ambition, no longer desiring to dwell under his grandfather’s name ’shire’ he continued until his death known as Fer’os.

The people grew in anger and frustration and with it was stirred rebellion--
Monday update:
I most likely will not be uploading any further chapters. And might actually take it back down to just a few.
So moving forth updates will be either developments, shout outs to respective writers that need support and Lore Reveals.
Today is a holiday here in the States, so drive safe take care of yourself, and definitely don’t "hold my beer and watch this". While funny, I can’t help but suspect that you might die and we don’t want that.
Have a wonderful evening.
I will post lore updates as the week goes on. If there’s anything in particular you would like discussed, ask away!
