Fifteen hundred years have passed since the Patternfall War. For more than half of that time, Random has ruled the First City relatively unopposed, and during that time he and his siblings gathered more power, and sired descendants. Sometime in the fourth century post-Patternfall, these descendants started gathering under collective banners, often with the blessing of one Elder or another. Some Elders, such as Florimel and Deirdre, are active participants in their Houses, keeping in constant contact with the membership and acting as leaders more than absent sponsors. Others, such as Corwin and Random, barely see those in their House.

For the first thousand or so years of his reign, Random contended with invasions from Chaosian soldiers who wouldn’t let the war end, family members with a grudge (most notably from the giant Hale, son of Oberon and Harla, and his forces) and would-be conquerors from Shadow. In the last of these conflicts, the war with Hale, Julian was killed. Shortly thereafter, Corwin walked his Table and disappeared. He has not been heard from, or found, since. Within a century, Vialle died giving birth to Random’s third child, whom he named after his brother. After that, Random grew increasingly more withdrawn, disappearing for decades or a century at a time. Three hundred years ago, he walked the Pattern and never returned.
