:o) Fun Alternia fact. :o) During the Fifth Imperial Era there was a time known as the 'Hundred Sweep Snows' :o) As the name implies, it was a time of endless snowfall. :o) Intriguing, yes? For those not in the know, Alternia doesn't see much snow at all. A good majority of trolls will go their whole lives without seeing it, even before they exiled the adults. :o) Was it a freak weather pattern? An ice age? :o) Even *I'm* not privy to that information. :o) Many trolls perished in the cold- we're not that suited to it, after all. Not to that extreme. :o) But it also gave rise to some of Altern...Read more
ENTRY 08 There was a brief two sweep period in Alternian history where there were no drones at all. Her Imperious Condescension was, according to the text, fresh into her reign and trying to see what she could do to establish her rule more directly.

They wrote that she ceased drone bioproduction and attempted to use high ranking violet admirals in their place; however, due to a combination of personal issues from the violets and many of them not wanting to ...Read more

I've seen some Alternian accounts on here talk about the moratorium on keeping records regarding historical occurrences. My assumption is that this has to do with the failed revolutions of the Signless and later the Summoner, but I'm curious if any other revolutionaries had their own records that were destroyed or kept in secret. I'm also curious as to how different other Alternian Jades have dealt with the the duties of keeping track of particular bloodlines when such a restrictive system is in place. Lowbloods very rarely have reason, or desire, to track down the feats of their forebears, but almost...Read more
