Really long ago: creation of Kel Del the land mass via two warring deities - Moon and Sun. Both perished, but Moon (Koki) has begun creating himself a physical form, while Sun cannot. Originally, Jahkl live alongside 'Alpha' Cether, as they have a common ancestor. 

Their evolution diverged, but they come back together to 'share' cities. Religious conflict. Jahkl population moves on to find somewhere else to set up camp haha. 

The Jahkl that stay behind are eventually killed, or exiled.Jahkl chill in Kel Del. They begin making a city surrounding a big oasis, just in front of a mountain range.

 They have other towns near to a coast for trade.Jahkl get a sense for the Sun's presence and power. Begin worshiping it, unaware that the deity is 'dead' beneath their feetTwo sects: Sun and Moon.

 They believe Sun has given them magic power, (as deities do, where they come from) and although they cant see the deity, they worship it to a real extreme kind of degree.Jahkl start getting sick.

 Meut and Cirio storyline comes into playMagic ban.Around this time, secretive members of the moon sect split of to eventually become the vihkaMeut is trapped beneath city, Cirio become a good king.about 1500 years pass, jahkl as a species on keldel become warped.

Alpha cether have also had a branch split off - the Beta cether, who value technology and have a great relationship with Thule.

Beta Cether have kind of spread a lot in a short period of time, they create these little 'super cities' where they harvest resources and pack up and move on.

They settle on the cooler part of Kel Del (the south)set up camp there, build relations with Vihka especiallyMeut still chillen underground, accumulating magic/power and transforming into a Sun deity reincarnation
