2194
- The Fyros are divided into a multitude of nomadic tribes which wander the Great Desert. They settle near the oases but especially near bothayas forests, fascinated by the fires that these trees provoke. The tribes vie for the territories rich in water and fire.
- The Fyros first encounter the Karavan who spread the word of Jena, the mythology of the Great Dragon, and the Prophecy and, aware of the danger to the Bark from the fascination of the Fyros with fire, also teach them how to control it. The relationship remains difficult though.
2195
