Lordequinox: Well a lot happened in this chapter.

Akuma-Heika: Yeah, but Tal'Darim can only be made by Protoss who dedicated themselves to the life of piracy, war , raiding and pillaging. All of the souls in Wales's heart is Templar. Khae'las means, One who Unites, I'm just making up words dude and I thought it sounded awesome. Also the Pale Raven fics are just an idea of a good friend of mine, there aren't any at the moment but I am wishing one.

FanciedFanFic: Your welcome sir!

Red qim: You had a lot of reviews. I don't know which is to answer but thanks!

SCB Blackwing: He is the Khala, he is immortal but at the start of the story he was 17.

Mpopl2: I just made up the Great War from bits of hints given by Qrow in episode 4.5. Thanks for the very detailed explanations though sir, very much appreciated.

Senju Sowdowwen: Um…I don't speak whatever that language is. I hope my words wasn't racist.

Akshka: You ask again and I'll answer again…Yes I will make more.

CrazedGammaMan1721: Okay.

Lord Ghost Striker: Hehe I'm not proud of it…*sigh* what am I doing with my life.

AN: So where does the Timeline start.

*Drumrolls*

Before the Great Waggghhh! (Emperor bless you if you know this reference)

I decided for a VERY LONG TIME before canon, I wanted to cement the position of Protoss in Remnant, their role in the world and its history, it would be also easier to convince the people that they are indeed OLD if the canon-characters those who lived long to tell the tales.

And I also bits of one shots in some times how things were made. So I sincerely hope you enjoy this massive Time-skip in the form of a timeline.

Chapter 8: Gleaming Hope

I stood in front of the wall where an image of Amon and Salem was carved. My inner circle of advisors stood behind also in disbelief at the sight of the proofs about dark one being known in this world.

"This is an utmost concern…" Preserver Li'Hua said with grim voice

"The most understatement subject I have heard since the fall of Auir." Lesandros said.

"Couldn't agree more. What can you tell us more of this…prophecy? Hierarch." Hozar asked

"I've never been religiously concerned when I knew Remnant but I know enough." I merely said not taking my sight off the markings in the wall.

"The pictogram's represents two Xel'Naga's. That much is obvious, but I know not of the other." Tolun said in his observation.

"The other is called Oum…the polar opposite Amon…They're brothers. But that's story for another time."

"…I see…How do we approach this problem Hierarch?"

"…" I kept silent for a moment before letting out a sigh. I turned to them.

"In maximum effort and efficiency." They snapped in attention at that.

Before the Fall - BTF
After Rebirth - AR
After the Great War - AG

Early BTF - The Queen of Blades is confirmed KIA, done personally by Raider Commander Jim Raynor. The joint forces of Raynors Raiders and Dominion Expedition Fleet vanished after the destruction of Char resulting the Zerg master-less and fractured. Protoss fleets led by Executor Selendis took this chance of purifying Zerg infested worlds, avoiding Terran-controlled ones as an act of goodwill and thanks to Raynors work. Zeratul continued his search for answers of the prophecy of the creators.

"You did the right thing jimmy." - Tychus Findlay to Jim Raynor.

Early-Mid BTF - Half of the Dominion military joined by Raynors Raiders participated in the coup d'état to bring down Arcturus Mengsk. Overwhelmed and outnumbered by rebel forces, loyalist surrendered with Arcturus in chains. Jim Raynor 'took care' of the Emperor and Arcturus was never heard again. Valerian Mengsk ascended the throne and reformed the Dominion along with Admiral Matt Horner. Protoss was questionably concerned of why Zerg retaliations' begun surfacing, organized and controlled spite the death of their last ruler.

"Hell, it's about time you son of a bitch." - Jim Raynor to Arcturus Mengsk

Jim Raynor was never heard of again.

Mid BTF - In almost the speed of light, simultaneous attacks appeared at multiple regions of Terran space. In over a night, 80% percent of the Dominions military have either destroyed or controlled. Reports indicate that Zerg and Terrans alike were the one of cause, led by Hybrids. Protoss received the attacks as the Terrans. Purification fleets were ordered back to defend Protoss-controlled planets.

"I come and bring salvation…" -Amon

Mid-Late BTF - Communications linking Terran worlds has gone dark, the last of the Terran fleets has been destroyed. All remaining Terran military assets, military and mercenary alike combined forces in Korhal to make a last stand against the Hybrid forces, Tychus was the last to stand inside his Thor. Hybrid invasion has begun in Shakuras and the Golden Armada stood valiant defending both surface and space.

"Let our light shine so bright that the stars will never forget." -Artanis leading his armies against Amon.

Late BTF - The Terrans had fallen and the Protoss makes their own last stand in Shakuras. Despite all of that, they were eventually overpowered, Zeratul and a Stalker was the last to stand. But the defense was long enough for High Templars to safely store important archives to a secret vault.

"Falter not my brother…we may fall today but our light will never cease." Zeratul said to the Stalker standing beside him as Hybrids flock in front of them

"You speak of the prophecy."

"Yes…The High Templars stored the data-matrix in the vault for a reason. He will need those in the future."

"This he is you speak of…The Khae'las, One who unites."

"Yes…Let us fight on my comrade."

"My life for Auir." With that, Zeratul charged with his blade still flaring as ever.

Amon's success of conquering the sector became what was known as The Fall. Amon turned his ambitions to Earth. In unexpected development, Amon vanished from unknown reasons.

Early 0001 AR - The Khala, Khae'las or Hierarch Callan Wales finds himself in an unknown world that he would later know as Remnant. Discovering his powers and obligation, he started building the foundation of the civilization called Protoss. The Citadel became the first building of the Protoss, multiple times bigger and taller than the regular colony Nexus. Preserver Li'Hua also was one of the first to be reborn in the world. Later, Wales would have his inner circle formed and a formal War Council would be enough to decide what's best for the Protoss. The Council consists of Wales himself, The Last Preserver Li'hua, Executor Lesandros, Phase-smith To'lun and High Judicator Hozar. Together they started rebuilding, trying to reclaim a small speck of glory the Protoss once had.

Early-Mid 0001 AR - The Protoss encounter with the Grimm immediately gave Wales reason to form Purification tactics. "Give the Grimm no quarter". Led by Executor Lesandros along with Praetors in his command, legions of Protoss set outside the Psionic Matrix to subjugate or hunt down as many Grimm as they can find in the nearby lands. As the purification goes by, so was the expansion, under provision of Judicator Hozar. He would turn the colony into a city that Wales had envisioned. With good things, so did the Protoss encountered the bad ones. Pictograms and ruins of ancient fallen civilizations suggest of prophecies and beliefs that connects with the Protoss own beliefs. Every stomach hurled when they found out a proof of Amon's existence, or at least his intervention to this world.

Mid 0001 AR - The proof of Amon's existence in the world of Remnant snapped Wales to maximize the efforts of rebuilding the Protoss. Converting more and more Nexus's to fully fledge cloning facilities for souls to use. Thanks to Wales's foreknowledge of the World of Remnant, four squads of Avenger's were sent to different places around world knowing what they would expect. Wales specifically ordered not to make contact with known world until his jurisdiction says otherwise so the Avenger's were only sent to acquire information regarding the current status quo of the world, along with Observers with orders to scan and record every piece of detail about the land. The first Carrier has been built and sooner or later, many more would be built to serve the Protoss and a fleet would be finally formed. To compensate for the lack of Vespene Gas, Red/Fire Dust was made as an alternate catalyst for Protoss Psi War-Machines.

Mid-Late 0001 AR - Wales himself was surprised when his Avenger's reported that they found nothing of this 'Great War' as he would call but they do however found the discrimination of Faunus disgusting and tension between Vacuo, Vale and Atlas, Mistral treatment of the alleged race concerning. Concerned, Li'hua inquired of Wales's knowledge of the Great War that was to happen.

Late 0001 AR - The rebuilding efforts finally met its result. A great golden city was built and in the center was the Citadel. In honor of their first home, the City of Auir was born and it currently housed over a million Protoss. Improvements on the city continue despite the completion.

"The past is gone…For now, we are free. In my honor as your Hierarch, I will lead and bring glory to the Firstborn. This is just the start, we will rebuild our cities and reclaim our light that lit the galaxy. Let us reject our old divisions and forge a new society. And together we will shape our destiny amongst the stars." - Official State of the Nation by Hierarch Wales, In honor of Artanis, last Hierarch of the Old World.

Wales envisioned another city in the southern coast.

Early 0002 AR - Wales had Tolun organize supplies of Red Dust to the citadel and primitive magnetic coil guns aimed to the sky. Despite the confusion, they nonetheless followed the orders of the Hierarch. Red Dusts were catapulted into the air and Zealots armed with Photon Rifles simply aimed and shot at the minerals resulting beautiful fireworks displayed above the Citadel for the people to see.

"Happy New Year, my friend." - Wales to Tolun.

Early-Mid 0002 AR - Atlas reports unconfirmed sightings of crescent-shaped aircraft in Atlas airspace. This report concerned Wales to go to Tolun and have the Phase-smith improve the cloaking systems of the Void Seeker. The council sends more Avenger's and Observers to observe the outside world.

"…The Terrans are nobler than this." -An Avenger assigned in Mistral.

Late 0002 AR - Rumors scatter amongst the villages of ghost killing Grimms with blue flaming blades. Survivors who saw this with their own eyes thanked the unknown and begun telling stories.

0003 AR - The coastal city of Shakuras was found, in honor of the second homeworld of the Protoss. Unlike Auir which her foundations were paved in gold, Shakuras was instead paved with grayish purple metal and roads but still under the jurisdiction of the Hierarch. It is called home to a million Protoss who followed the minor-teachings of the Nerazim. The Protoss first fleet is commissioned and their first mission is to safely guard the small continent.

Late 0003 AR - The first newborn Protoss would be birthed. "A warrior for the Firstborns!" Celebrations were large in Auir, Shakuras and outlying bases across the continent.

0004 AR - The Purification of the Protoss Homeland is successful, 90% of the Grimm in northern Sanus is burnt while some were imprisoned in Void Prisons for research purposes. The Protoss would find themselves in an era of peace and prosperity as they continued going on with their lives in this new world.

Mid 0004 AR - Despite the Protoss being undeniably advanced. Wales found that the Templar needed a 'Military Modernization'.

"Tolun, do you know of missiles?"

"A primitive form of projectile armament, used by Terran ships in air and space combat."

"Good…I sent you my proposal about the Void Missile and Black Hole Grenade. Please read it and do it."

"But Hierarch, this form of arm would be-"

"Lesandros! For sure you have encountered Nevermores right?

"Yes, vile flying beasts tried pick one of my Zealots and even fling its annoying feathers."

"Yeah, yeah but I see our Zealot lacks versatile weaponry to deal in all situations."

"What do you propose Hierarch?"

"I had Tolun here, upgrade the Psi-blade bracers with more…uses."

"Yes, the Hierarch insisted I utilize Phase-disruptors in installment to our Warriors blades. Also small warp-matrix device that would give our Zealots the ability to teleport in short distances."

"I see…Giving them the capability for range-combat and a pseudo-nerazim-blink indeed increases our combat efficiency."

"Then we have nothing to worry about, I trust our warriors are trained well enough for ranged weapons."

"Of course Hierarch."

"Also, how goes the Khaydarin Cruiser? "

This military modernization changed many things in the Protoss military but not its philosophy and combat doctrine. Zealots who can only charge and kill its enemy with overwhelming sword skill can now shoot Phase-disruptors from there Bracers and blink in short distances with the help of a small warp device.

New Terran inspired military hardware's were created and forged. One is the Khaydarin Cruisers, based from the Nerazim's Void Rays, they are 400 meter long airships capable firing destructible Psionic Shockwaves with its crystal and armed with less-powerful but still effective Thermal Lance's.

The Hierarch had an interesting likeness for the Thermal Lance, Executor Lesandros inquired him of this and Wales simply answered "When you see an army of bugs, there's no better cure for sore eyes." And Lesandros couldn't help it but agree.

0022 AR - As years came by, so did the population. The total number of reborn Protoss numbered 4 million, all divided into 7 cities with Auir and Shakuras being the major population centers. Newborns, born in a biological stand point or 'when a mommy and daddy love each other', numbered only in a hundred thousand. The Hierarch now sees this as an opportunity to nurture the young ones and create a new society and curriculum for it to grow.

At the birth of a Protoss, the two Parents would foster the child or children for twenty years, teaching them the ways of the Protoss and giving the child the same training the two parents had endured or needed for his/her future. After achieving youth or early maturity, the youth would enter the Templar Academy where he/her would train and improve the teachings of his/her parents.

The Templar Academy staff consisted of High Templars and highly experienced warriors with Preserver Li'Hua being the Grandmaster of the academy. The academy would provide the youth adequate training to perfect their ways of the blade that they learned from their parents then train them of the paths provided. When the youth passed the first course and graduates as a Zealot-in-training, which is the path of the blade, they are given a choice to choose a particular path or improve their skills in the Blade.

Path of the Blade - The first and deemed most important path for each Protoss to finish in the academy before proceeding to the next path they would choose. This path included reviewing and improvement of the apprentice's knowledge and awareness of their math and science, views, ethics, history, laws and Protoss culture. This path will also give them enough training in handling Protoss war machine and engineering.

Path of the Warrior - This would lead them to be adept Zealots after training and earn a role in the military.

Path of the Wise - They will be taught next personally by Judicators, teaching them the arts of manipulation, negotiation, judgment and inspiring wisdom.

Path of the Night Walker - This path will teach the young ones the arts of the Nerazim, infiltration, assassination and disguise.

Path of the Dreamer - The longest path, as the young one would be personally fostered by a Phase-smith. Mostly in the arts of engineering and science.

Graduates would then be inducted to their own duties and a given role to their civilization.

Wales had the current Protoss society grow into what was like the Templar in the first days though without the caste system, the Conclave ruling and its divisions. The culture of the Nerazim was preserved and respected in honor of the sacrifice of Zeratul but not practiced anymore though their skills and abilities in Void is learned and practiced by some Templar and trained Avengers. The Protoss stand unbreakably united as one. The "New Year" day became Unity Day, a reason to celebrate every year.

Early-Mid 0072 AR - First contact with the Humans was unavoidable after the Protoss's almost seventy years of isolation. A group of settlers tried to start a new life in the unexplored regions of the Northern Sanus. To the surprise of the settlers, expecting a land unharmed and untouched by human hands, they were instead awed by the sight of a city shining in the horizon. Observers saw the settlers from the sea and the Council was in debate, they seek the Hierarch for a final decision. The settlers were forced to turn back to the island of Patch and the Protoss was introduced to Vale.

Mid 0072 AR - Months after first contact, the Vale Council decided to send a delegate to Shakuras in the name of peace and invitation to the Island of Patch. The delegates were beyond shock of the sight of golden airships and beautiful lads and ladies but they TRIED to hide it. Protoss are Psionic though.

Mid-Late 072 AR - One week later, the Councilors of Vale along with media crews from Atlas and ambassadors from Vacuo, Mistral, Atlas and the people of Patch greeted the Protoss. They could only gape at the golden fleet in the sky and gape more when meeting them in person as they look human in every way except for their glowing irises, singing-like voice and pony-tails.

The people of Vale honored their presence with a festival of their culture and a performance. Then later, the Council would face their counterparts, a judicator across the table and discussed their future. Cultures and histories were shared.

"Is this the…nemesis you are referring, master?" -Salem

Late 0072 AR - The four Kingdoms would then recognize the Protoss's territories of responsibility, the entire Northern Sanus were under Protoss jurisdiction with a 10 kilometer gap between coast and neutral waters. An Atlas citizen asked a Protoss the subject of why rejecting the joint research of technologies offered by Atlas. The Protoss answered "Power comes in every form, Human wielding overwhelming power breeds greed and arrogance." referring to the Humans he know very well while the other Protoss answered "For we learned what is good enough for our existence." To the Atlas populace, they saw this as arrogance. The unwillingness to cooperate and form strong relations with the four kingdoms was negatively received by the people, specifically Atlas and Mistral. Another Atlesian asked the Protoss why isolate from the bigger community and the Protoss merely said "The world outside our own is indeed beautiful but my people prefer existence over risk and comfort." Another asked the Protoss how they would feel if they switched sides being rejected. The Protoss answered with a shocking but true one "Do not ask me, ask the Faunus for they know what truly is to be rejected." Overnight, the respect of every Faunus was earned by the Protoss

0098 AR - The Protoss would find their peace and prosperity shattered as the Great War emerged but Wales's foreknowledge gave them more than enough time to prepare for what was to come. The combined navies of Atlas and Mistral attacked the kingdom of Vale, while half of Mistral went east to attack Vacuo. The alliance of Vacuo and Vale grew stronger as day by day, their cooperation improved their defense against the two kingdoms. The Protoss being neutral in the conflict stood guard to their borders; Motherships were in their borders, first to meet any opposition that would dare attack them.

Hierarch Wales sent three fleets with legions of Templars to guard over villages and refugee camps that wanted to avoid the war from bandits, Grimm and sacking invasion forces in all of Sanus. The Councils of both Vale and Vacuo thanked the Protoss for this. The other two however saw this as a breaking sign of their neutrality.

Late 0098 AR - The Protoss would finally have their first taste of battle against a sentient race as an Atlesian Air Fleet would meet the Golden Armada. Primitive laser batteries merely tickled the Plasma Shields of the Void Rays and Carriers. No airship from the fleet to attack the Protoss came home to Atlas's airport ever again.

Late 0100 AR - For almost three years of conflict and strife, the Councilors of the kingdoms has seen that blood has been spilled enough and they have just weaken themselves for the Grimm to finish. The Protoss, due to their fame as bringers of peace and justice to the populace were made as peacekeepers and a Judicator as supervisor for the Kingdoms negotiation in Vytal as they fix their problems. The leaders gathered in the island Vytal and as a military intimidation, Wales insisted the Judicator that they do negotiations on a Mothership. The Leaders from the three Kingdoms had their jaws dropped, Atlas however had a look of grim as they knew the power of such ship. So the Mothership floated in Vytal for days as the leaders set laws and the establishment of the academies to train Hunters, who will symbolize peace and justice as they protect those who can't protect themselves, the ideal individual the Protoss are proud of.

The Kingdom of Atlas offers to each kingdom the Cross-Continental Transmit Towers to establish greater and faster communication with the other Kingdoms. The Kingdoms are overjoyed but the bomb wasn't dropped yet.

The Judicator Hozar, who have supervising the negotiation, dropped a bomb. In a sigh of goodwill by the Hierarch, he offered each kingdom a Warp-Gate/Gateway that would guarantee Kingdom to Kingdom transportation to be lesser concerning. And the Leaders had their jaws dropped and eyes wide as plates.

The Great War

Causes: The differed treatment of Faunus in each Kingdom. Attempted subjugation of Faunus by Mistral and Atlas.

Casualties: 2,000,000+

Conclusion: Compromising decisions between the four kingdoms that would later be known as the Vytal Treaty and the establishment of communication to each kingdom, Warp Gate linking to the kingdoms and the Hunter Academies.

0001 AG - The After Great War Calendar was made. The establishment of the international laws proved effective and accepted by the populace and peace was finally established. Rebuilding efforts became the first priority of every kingdom. The Golden Armada remained in Vytal Island to watch over the world should the new peace be shattered again. Mission to find the realm that was controlled by Salem proved harder and unsuccessful so far. Wales's and his inner circle concern grows larger by the years.

Late 0001 AG - Formal communication links between the kingdoms is established as Scrolls were being introduced to modern society. The final Warp Gate has been built and the test was a success, a citizen from Vale walked through the gate and after 15 seconds, the citizen finds himself in Atlas. The people in awe of the blessing they've been given from Atlas and the Protoss, thanked and celebrated like it's the end of the world and thus the Vytal Festival was born.

0005 AG - The Hunter Academies was a success with its first batch of graduates and the Vytal Festival Tournament was proposed then instantly approved. The ever isolationist Protoss gracefully again rejected the invitation to the tournament reasoning "We remained neutral, this is your peace, not ours but we are honored and grateful." But they nonetheless went to the Vytal Festival and joined the festivities but not the tournament. This was the first time the people from the four kingdoms came up close to the Protoss culture. The culture shock was just first of the many.

0034 AG - Preserver Li'Hua, Headmaster of Templar Academy approached the Headmaster of Beacon, an ancestor of Ozpin, and shares what she and her people suspects regarding Salem and the dark one.

0049 AG - Team Spark is formed in Beacon Academy.

0050 AG - The White Fang is formed.

0063 AG - Blake, Yang, Weiss, Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren, Nora are born.

0064 AG - King Chieftain Belladona of Menagerie requested for a trade treaty with the Protoss to stabilize the state. In a stroke of good luck, the Protoss rejected but gave a gift to the Faunus. Semi-annually, Menagerie would be supplied with Dust crystals, building materials, human tools and food as an act of goodwill between their races. Despite being purist and isolationist, the Protoss shared their sympathy to the Faunus for their mistreatment and view from the Humans. Furthermore, after discovering psionic-potentials from the people of Menagerie, they opened the gates of Templar Academy for the Faunus of Menagerie who can only dream to be a Hunter to develop their Psionic Powers, this resulted for a Warp Gate to be built in Menagerie for easier trade and transportation between continents, the Faunus were overjoyed with this development.

13 year-old cat Faunus Syzsea Belladona was first of the many Faunus who went to Auir to learn from the Protoss in Templar Academy. One of the youngest apprentices in the academy was accepted and is currently in the path of Nightwalker for the next few years.

"Wales…the child you brought to the Templar Academy, she's…mad." Li'Hua said to me, she must be referring Syzsea.

"Like a Tal'Darim right?" I snickered with a smirk which she frowned in response.

"Am I to assume you already saw this eccentric personality of hers?"

"What? She reminds of Alarak, a blood thirsty feisty one who held her bargain in the end."

0066 AG - Ruby is born. Hierarch Wales leaves the Protoss lands to venture around the kingdoms with the Judicator Council to rule in his stead but still remains in contact with the Citadel.

Late 0066 AG - Wales lands in the desserts of Vacuo.

0069 AG - Summer Rose goes missing during her mission for unknown reasons, the government have presumed her to be dead.

0075 AG - White Fang's leader stood down and a new one changed the entire organization. Thanks to Protoss influence, the organization merely splintered to two with the new ones resulting to a more a violent approach. The White Fang council offers their apology to the public of this development. The Vale branch of the White Fang are the only confirmed splinter faction for now. But reports indicate that the Atlas branch had been also converted to violent transgressions beginning a shadow war with the Schnee Dust Company.

Early 0078 AG - Ruby enrolls to Signal Academy under his uncle Qrow's apprenticeship.

0079 AG - Wales travels the southern Sanus lands and reached the gates of Vale.

"So this is Vale…the show gives no justice."
