- c. BW 2,000,000 - The war is settled. As a result of the victorious side sealing the defeated side away, one fixed star and four planets are created, "Protectors of the Seal" are made on the four planets, and one kind of sentient life form is allocated to each.
- c. BW 300,000 - The entire race of victors is wiped out. Except on the fourth planet, Rykros, the beings of the other three planets, with the passing of each successive generation, begin to forget the mission of those made Protectors.
