Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tarna Timeline
Day 1 - Uses door, pops our in liontaur district. Gets arrested, brought before Council of Judgement, made Honorless. By evening, he is Over This s**t and finds a hiding spot to shapeshift to katta, spends night at the inn.
Day 2 - Gets together with Sarka, yay! She discourages him from going about as a liontaur, his coloring is too distinctive - liontaurs don't come in black, whereas katta do occasionally. She does use a minor illusion to hide his red ear.
Day 5 - Having seen what he's allowed to see of Tarna, Rio decides he wants to see Shapeir/Raseir, to see where Nashwa is from and be able to tell her how things are. Could use Doors, but doesn't want to - takes a caravan with Sarka. Makes friends, etc.

Caravan - attacked by jackalmen at some point??

Shapeir Timeline
Shapeir clearly not doing as well as Tarna, had more difficulties during Gehenna due to desert location. Even with that long over with, things are rough. The jackalmen have become a serious problem and an actual force to be reckoned with. To make things worse, the Sultan has been sick for years and has become less and less capable of dealing with anything. His sons are too busy squabbling with each other to be much good. The oldest is currently Emir of Raseir, having been placed there as practice. Doesn't seem to be particularly good at it, as he's allowed the Cult of the Dark Ones to start taking root.

Day 1 - Tour around Shapeir, visit moneychanger, etc.
Day 2 - Sarka goes to investigate the wizard school, leaving human-shape Rio to his own devices. He promptly gets pickpocketed, chases and catches thief who happens to be quite pretty. Being Rio, instead of being mad he's amused and wants to take her to dinner...except she has his money. Conjures up a necklace to 'trade' her for it so they can get something to eat. She accepts, is intrigued but also suspicious, unlike Rio who, as usual, is already smitten.
Day 3-5? - In an effort to uncreepily spend more time with thief, Rio offers to pay her for thiefing lessons with more conjured shinies, and she agrees. Cue shenanigans, bonding, etc.
Day 6-15 - Let's go to Raseir! (Without interruption, caravan would take 10 days.) Sarka still busy, Rio caravans over with thief - attacked by jackalmen again, some of caravan killed. Rio manages to spare some by using his aura+summoning shinies - look, I'm useful! - so they're taken captive.
Day 16 - While captured, learn more about thief. From Silmaria, descendant of Devon, some degree of cousin to Princes of Shapeir. Third-born, wayward, became a thief and traveled around. Was in Mordavia when Gehenna hit, got the hell out of dodge and went to --, then Shapeir.
Day 17 - Use combination of tricks to escape jackalmen and get to Raseir.
Day 18 - Raseir, finally! Emir not in residence, has gone to Shapeir to argue with brother/visit father.
Day 21 - Jackalmen lay siege to Raseir. No one in charge. ********. Could Door over to Shapeir but...no, ******** that guy. Rio doors home to Pantheon with Theo with intention of getting help - Sarka is there, having portaled in to visit Nashwa. She encourages him not to involve other gods - this could be a valuable opportunity to gain followers. Knowing only one non-god with real military experience, Rio goes to recruit Vlad to help. We have a sort of shared girlfriend, so uh...hey. Wanna fight a war with anthro jackals? Vlad agrees because he's bored as hell
Day 22 - After sending Sarka+Vlad+Shy back with Theo to buy time for him to come up with a way to actually win rather than just delay losing, Rio goes to visit Zhiji. He needs a big, impressive way to decisively win, but has no real offensive powers, so he needs some kind of intimidating display instead. Having met some of the Pern dragons, he thinks this could work, but can't seem to pull off the shape, needs an alliance with Zhiji to make it work. Zhiji's stipulation is that Rio needs to Fly one of his Pern-dragon daughters to introduce more new blood, as they currently have a worrisomely shallow gene pool. Rio agrees. Also gives Zhiji a saurus, because who doesn't need a tame dinosaur?
Day 24 - Having successfully achieved dragon-shape, Rio returns to Raseir to scare the ever-loving s**t out of some jackalmen and send them packing. Vlad, having been greatly entertained by all this, decides to head to Mordavia where there are apparent Cult and werewolf problems.
Day 25 - Word arrives that the Emir died an untimely death by ghoul while traveling to Shapeir, and Sultan would like to speak to the heroes of Raseir. Rio+Theo+Sarka portal over, Sultan recognizes Theo as his niece...and thoroughly over his remaining useless son by this point, declares her his heir and in the meantime Emir. Son is furious and storms off, will probably be dangerous.
Day 30 - Set on thwarting trouble before it can start, Rio uses a visit from the Baronet of Spielburg to their advantage, arrows him+the remaining Prince. They go skipping back north to Spielburg together.
Day 41 - Sultan dies, Theo succeeds, declares Rio Emir. Shapeir and Raseir firmly in 'gods are real' camp, intend to build a temple when resources allow. Rio begins work on rooting out cultists.

Still not happy with that. Sultan doesn't want to break the family line (not that it's a long one), Theo agrees to rule until she can track down a willing relative?? (In this case, Sultan only had one son, who is now dead.) Eventually finds her paladin brother, who was fortunately not in Silmaria when it sank. He is convinced to take leadership (Rio remains Emir of Raseir), Rio then sets about finding him a nice wife. Nice baker lady, Ishlan.
