*Thinking Grabraf of Denui tried making crude rafts from Braffitree branches to get to the fabled land of Noor'land to their north, and failed

*Cocky Tripods domesticate Sabretails, develop small pit mining to search for fancy jewels

*'''Green Death event''' - massive and widespread coal deposits and petrified braffiwood in a single geological strata indicated towards a bacterial disease that wiped out a huge number of Braffitrees and Braffdrasils, causing turmoil in Forest Grabraf populations as their homes collapse

*Some Thinking Grabraf of Denui colonize the wetlands near Denui, making floating homes on rafts

*Red-Throats of Panoram started fishing in their inland sea, develop first caravan-cities on Panoram, expands to Western and Southern deserts of Panoram

*Thinking Grabrafs develop irrigation for their Essarian Tallgrass agriculture, starts the Bootin, Hootin and Tootin pantheon

*Yuu'ush Tribe of Cave Grabrafs start following the gas-induced hallucinative visions of a prophet

*Stitchers develop rafts made from hollow crystals, Braffiwood and thin crystalline sails

*Stitcher Evenness philosophy start gaining more adherents

*Cave Grabrafs take to the underground ocean, learn how to dive for shiny things after gas-prophet receive vision of riches in the water

*Plains Grabrafs made their own script derived from Thinking Grabraf pictograms for their own use and developed the scribe caste, make books and records using leather as medium, ink made of Ruby Grass dye or Ink Solibee ink, and bronze claws as writing implement

*Stitchers discover crystal grafting in agriculture, which made multicolored harvests

*Thinking Grabrafs develop better homes made from rocks and mud-based plaster, and also martial arts in the face of increasing Plains Grabrafs aggression

*'''Horux Winter event''' - global ash deposits in a single geological strata indicate a volcanic winter caused by the devastating eruption of Mt. Horux in Shatturne after massive pressure buildup caused by an AA Node growing in its caldera, and recorded by all sapients; caused famine and genetic bottlenecking of the Cocky Tripods, more grief for the Forest Grabrafs as their forest homes once again crumble under a natural disaster, conflicts between the Plains, Forest and Thinking Grabrafs as mass die-offs of Hurkun and plantlife occurred; Survivors were saved by Emra and its AA Nodes

*Cocky Tripods start making fire pits, fur clothing, and temples to Emra

*Grabraf tribes of Denui selectively bred plants, resulting in new crops: Skreesh Thornberries, Denuian Puffblade, Innbralo Tuber, and Pailbloom Dryfruit

*Cave Grabrafs explore more of the underground sea, develop writing (earliest examples were legends of Zuurash the Bold, Twaado the Swift, and Guutuu the Visionary), along with records of the laws of early priest-kings, and starting glowing lichen agriculture

*Stitchers develop mining to gain natural gems

*Cave Grabrafs start making adobe dwellings, develop a scribe citizen class, make rudimentary torches and fishing using torchlight, records indicate belief in the god Shuluu became widespread

*Plains Grabrafs discover mining, as well as copper, tin, gems, gold, silver and iron

*Cave Grabrafs find copper, zinc, nickel, tin, iron, as well as other metals and gems, rare gems include fossilized Jewols, Quartz, Dolomite, Unaktite, Malachite and Opal

*Cocky Tripods find copper, tin, limestone, slate, iron, and magnetite

*Stitchers find copper, tin, ruby, quartz, aquamarine, and opal

*Red-Throat Tripods discover log rollers and wheels, domesticate the Ferocitail, and start making mobile cart-homes for nomads

*'''Starfall impact event''' on Jobani, recorded by the Grabrafs as "Starfall", "Blessing of the Azurian Lights" by Stitchers, and "The Tears of the Heavens" by Tripods

*Cave Grabrafs start mining opal from the Pool of Knowledge, names them "Mountain-Stars" and consider them holy, miner career become equal to scribes in social esteem, explorers wane in standing as more and more Cave Grabrafs turn into the sedentary lifestyle

*Thinking Grabrafs learn fire from Plains Grabrafs during their joint shelter after Horux Winter, creates a calendar based on agricultural cycles, associates winter with Hootin, late spring/early summer with Tootin, and fall with Bootin
