The planet Zyem

History of Zyem

This is the general history of the planet Zyem, seen primarily through the eyes of the Kadanë, one of its inhabitants. For the history of a specific people, see the article on that ethnic group. Some of the early dates are only approximate.

Dates are given in our reckoning (c.e. for Common Era) and in the reckoning of the Kadanë, who date events from the founding of the Empire (p.e. for Post-Empire, or a.e. for Ante-Empire). The other peoples of Zyem have their own calendars, with starting dates significant to their histories.
