2011 - The ancient Gate
Together with their Avatars, the settlers and devotees of the elements travelled into the heart of the northern continent, to a place that is called "The Ancient Gate". It seems that this maybe the last waypoint on their way to the Fifth Seal. It is said that this place will connect to the Seal that binds Ratio. Unfortunately, nobody was able to solve this secret this year. There was too much to do in too short time - old foes like Aniesha Fey had to be vanquished, the whereabouts of the old hex that lasts on the Tribe of the Edalphi had to be investigated and what is the real motive behind Argus Plans?
And then there was the main question everyone talked about: What is the Ratio and what will happen if the last seal will be opened?
Besides all this, at least the old Curt of Shan Meng Feyn in the form of the 5 Elemental Shrines could be nearly completly reactivated. With the help of this curt, all the decisions will be made next year: Travel on and open the seals? Or stop right here and let this evil be shut away forever?

2010 - The defeat of Doerchgardt
The united armies of the elements, led by the archonts and the newformed Eternal Swords, went south to dismantle Dorchgardts walls and to prepare the way for the Xerikan.
The first tries to storm Doerchgardt were in vain, the same as two years ago. The fighters retreated and the tactics were refined.
This retreat allowed other elements to intervene: the Ouai and Kell Goron tried to control the ways of the settlers, as both had their own plans with the Xerikan.
Also there were a lot of open questions to solve, where was Argus, what horrible story lay behind the reason of tragic An'nai becoming the master of Doerchgardt and how could he be conquered?
While the armies took Doerchgardt, lost it, stormed and conquered it again, manifold adventurers gave encouragement, cleared the way for the Xerikan and solved the mysteries of the Silver Wagon.
All their efforts led to the ultimate achievement: the death of An'nai, the opening of the seal and the release of the avatar of Terra!

2009 - The Race to Siegelstatt
With the pure anger burning in the hearts of the settlers, they stood their ground and did not yield one foot of their lines to the enemy. Still, the Argus men reached the boundaries of Siegelstatt, the one place where all the elemental seals were created. They even reached it before the settlers, but they were not able to make use of this margin. When the Constructors (known as Kan and Rikan) awakened from their aeon long sleep, they started to put the settlers AND the forsaken to a test in 9 places. The Cemetary, the City, the mine, the energy core, the worldstone, the camps, the Bibliotheque, the cult places and in the end, the Xerikans Place.
After the settlers fulfilled the tests to the Kans and Rikans satisfaction, they gained access to the most powerful weapon of the Old Ancestors. And nobody else was able to control it on the battlefield but the nine leaders of the Xerikan.
And by this, Argus, already heavily wounded through an attack from the fire camp, had to retreat and flee from the battlefield. With the battle ending, the leaders of this weapon commanded it to march south to destroy the forsaken seal of Doerchgart. If this plan will work - we will see in 2010.

2008 - Ankor Mortis will burn!
The Warriors and settlefolk following the Elements went into great lenghts and fought hard for their aims. Valorously the devotees of Aqua stood their ground against the dark forces - even after their Avatar died. Fearless, and inmidst of the hardest battles fought, the warriors of Aeris took control over the white portals - without the help of their mistress.
But all seemed to have been in vain, the settlers were only able to control 33 out of 45 elemental banners and nobody was able to crush the doors of the Doerchgardt Fortress in various attempts against this small defensive fortification of the Undead Flesh.
It seemed that the military planning was too ad hoc, the Offensive started too overhasty. And those leaders who called to arms, like the Archon of the South died in the very first battles against the dark forces.
Because of this, now the time has come for the evil Archon An'nai, who will rule with an iron fist over the South and under his seal Terra herself will stay banned from the world.

2007 - The Undead awakes
The settlers were stuck for one year and could not advance to the southern Seal. This prove to be unlucky as their enemies - first of all the Void with the powerful Nophobos and the devious Viinshar - went to the southern seal and opened it secretly to free the Undead. To increase the mischief, they initiated an intrigue which caught the settlers who arrived one year later: Archon and Nyame of the South rose against each other in front of the settlers' eyes - driven by fear and desperation. Just in time, the avatars stopped them and gave 3 days time to the settlers to find out what was so dramatically wrong in this Seal. Even though the Undead grinded one camp after the other (first earth, then the followers of Ignis and finally the mighty orcs) the heros and knights of Mythodea managed to re-conquer the banners of power to strengthen the Archon's position. At the same time, the scholars and magicians were able to uncover the intrigue of the Void to seal the power of the Nyame.

2006 - The way to the south
The three Anti-Elements are now fighting united under the rulership of the Sharun'Ar and bring chaos and war to Mythodea. Only the West - where still both, Archon and Nyame are alive-is calm. On their search for the fourth Seal, the settlers reached the end of the continent. And even worse, the avatar of Magic disappeared. The four other Elements have great plans on how to move further - but each of these plans would harm one of the other Elements...
The settlers and the fighters of Magic managed to free Magica from claws of the void just before the Avatars kill each other. So, the Avatar of the Fire was able to burn the troups of the Black Ice around - by using the white flame and by sacrificing himself.
Water crowned two new Archons with an age-old artefact and earth found a way to move to the south and to the next Seal. Mythodea seems to be invigorated - its enemies are weakened, all three Seals are being ruled by Nyames and Archons, and even the incalculable Sharun'Ar is defeated. The way to the south is open!

2005 - The fight for the Western Seal
Together with their new ally, the Void, the Black Ice succeeded in occupying large parts of Mythodea including the whole western area. So, the players had to fight on occupied ground for the predominance at the Western Seal. The only ones to help them were some Naldar, the people of the Air. Finally, the players succeeded in opening the Seal and a Celt from the Fire camp and an Orc became Nyame and Archon. The Elements seemed to have reconciled for a while in the face of the imminent danger. But despite the unity of his enemies, the Sharun'Ar freed the Pestilence, subjugated it and destroyed his own Imperator by an artful intrigue. Since this day, he rules the Black Ice by himself.

2004 - Contact with the Black Ice
Guided by Paolo Armatio, the settlers went north to the Second Seal. There, they collided with the Black Ice which had been freed by the opening of the First Seal last year. This dark army was adduced by the Imperator and his right hand - the Sharun'Ar. The Avatars had been knocked off right in the beginning by their enemies and so it was the players' task to re-strengthen the avatars and the Elements by solving various quests (mini- and camp plots). Neutral parties played a rather inferior role. At the end, a drow proved to be the best aspirant for the title of the Nyame - which led to rather icy relations with the new Archon of the North (from the fire camp). The Black Ice was not able to win the fight for the Northern Seal - but it managed to subjugate the Void - the Antielement once buried beneath the second Seal. After the still unexplained death of the Archon in spring 2005 the drow owns most of the power.

2003 - The first Seal is opened
This was the first Lrp convention at Mythodea. A Seal was to be opened (with all the quests that belong to this task: Collect banners of power, become Archon, stand the tests of the Nyame). Important parties occurred for the first time (Paolo Armatio, the Ouai, the Avatars). Some things were indicated (the Forsaken Elements, the Ancient Rulers etc). The event ended with a player vs player battle for the title of the Archon. After this, the country was safe for over one year - until the Archon disappeared in winter 2004 and the area was being attacked massively by troups of the Black Ice. They were said to be coming from the West...
