Presumed arrival of the Demon X(A/N)th, plus or minus ten thousand
years or multiple thereof, causing magic to slowly infuse the region from
the trace leakage of his essence.
|
|
- 2200
|
Around this time, a colony of human folk arrives from Mundania. It grows for a while until Magicians and Sorceresses
manifest. One of the early Soceresses is the Sea Hag, mostly unknown to others because of her frequent change of
bodies. She survives until 1077, when she is banished to Brain Coral storage. The Hag apparently forgot her history,
remembering only that she is thousands of years old.
|
|
- 2100
|
About this time, Xanth is cut off from Mundania, becoming a true island.
|
|
- 1900
|
The human colony fails, with the humans becoming assorted magic species through interbreeding or change by magic.
Harpies, merfolk, naga, sphinxes, ogres, goblins, elves, fauns, nymphs, fairies, and other crossbreeds and variants may
derive from this; they tend to be closemouthed about it, evidently preferring not to admit the debasement of their lineage
by human stock. Thus this colony is unknown to history, except by the mute evidence of the surviving species.

The isthmus is restored and limited contact with Mundania is resumed.
