In this lecture, we will discuss the Renzaman as they transition from the Early Age of Chaos to the Middle.  In particular, we will talk about their cultural dominance of the region through the allegory of the Four Concubines of Alferr.  I will note, this is an allegory for the Renzaman; not for us.  Don't look for the moral lesson.

In this lecture, we start with an introduction of the Lower 1,000 Kingdoms.  We will briefly describe the five major cultures of the region: the Northeastern Renzaman; the Southeastern Toredon; the Southern Calixta; the Western Anaiho; and the itinerant Marzajo.   We will also look a bit deeper at the Glassholm and their internal struggles.

In this bonus lecture, I will tell you about one of the greatest heroes in the Age of Chaos: Twatha.  She led a life that betrayed the cultural norms of Galacite Culture, but through skill and a fierce lack of giving a damn, she rose to incredible significance.

In this lecture, we will finish our discussion of the Mid-Thousand Kingdoms as I tell you about a second war of races in the area around Star Lake.  We will discuss the fact that this is actually the Fifth Great Race War of Star Lake, and why I didn't tell you about the others.   We will also look closer at the cultures of the Najett and Sabike.

In today's lecture, we will discuss the origins of the Atsessa in the Sabike city of Yakkan.  Specifically, we will discuss the pernicious myths surrounding a possible founder of the Atsessa: Aja Met Sess.   I hope to dispel some of the rumors about her promiscuity while also reinforcing some of the rumors about her deceitfulness.  Is she a hero or a villain?  I leave it to you students to decide.

In this bonus lecture held during the Week of the Gods, I will tell you about three traditions of the Week that trace their origins back to the Middle Age of Chaos.  I assure you, all three traditions have nothing to do with the Gods as we know them now.

In this lecture, we start our discussion of the lower third of Algalon, the islands we call the Thousand Kindgoms.  During the Middle Age of Chaos, they were not islands but a single piece of land and in this lecture, we will tour those lands.  I will also introduce you to the cultures of the Mid-Thousand Kingdoms, the humans who lived around Star Lake.
