Dashed Plot Line
 Rise and Fall / int_10aef86b
comment
Dashed Plot Line: The Trilogy roughly spans a 2,000 year period. Nolyn begins about 500 years after Legends and the end of the Great War. It then jumps ahead another millennia for Farilane and then does one last jump of several more centuries for Esrahaddon (while ultimately ending roughly 900 years before Ririya Revelations).

Foregone Conclusion
 Rise and Fall / int_3bc88a7f
comment
Foregone Conclusion: The First Empire will eventually decline and collapse about 900 years before Royce and Hadrian's era. The dramatic tension lies in how that came about (as Revelations had previously only established the broad strokes).

A Day in the Spotlight: Each book in the Trilogy focuses upon a previously-established Ririya historical character and the impact their lives and actions had on the world of Elan during their respective points of the First Empire's history.

Prequel in the Lost Age: As with Legends, this further explores the backstory of Elan and shows the peak and decline of the First Empire.

Long Game: While Mawyndule's Ancient Conspiracy was always this, he is still learning the ropes at the beginning of Nolyn. He gradually gets better and more skilled at it as the Trilogy progresses.

comment
Ancient Conspiracy: Legends ended with Mawyndule in exile and vowing revenge. By the time of Revelations 3,000 years later, Mawyndule's revenge is entering its endgame. The Trilogy fills in the gap, showing how Mawyndule kicked off his campaign and how the conspiracy gradually evolves into what we'll see come Royce and Hadrian's era.
