Wolfrider Timeline

[Anna]

This timeline begins, with Year 0 being the year that the High Ones landed on the World of Two Moons, and were forced to flee the palace.

As with wolfpacks, when a tribe becomes too large for a territory to support, the tribe will split, with one group seeking new, unclaimed territory. Such splits have happened many times in the history of the Wolfriders, and Westering Holt's timeline follows that of one of the first splits: Rahnee She-Wolf's oldest child.

We do this to avoid contradicting established ElfQuest Canon. Our Wolfriders know nothing of Cutter Kinseeker, the Sun Villagers, or the Gliders. They never encounter any of the tribes or peoples referred to in the the various comics, graphic novels, or anthologies. Our history is our own, and as we make it, and the history established by the creators of ElfQuest is preserved and protected.

Over the long millenia, there have been many more splits in the tribe, but as we have not followed those leaders, we have not included them here. This timeline will be expanded as needed.
