As the stories of their masters twisted over time through word of mouth, the truth of the Hours slowly became obscured. Without magic of their own to support their stories of the House, the descendants of the First Men came to believe the Hours to be mere superstition and forgot the true nature of their dreams. To them, the material world was all there was, and this was how it had always been. Not until the last of the First Men had died or Ascended did the Hours begin to respond to widespread prayers once more.
During this time, the Great Serpent would take on a his second Name. A young woman, originally Originally counted among the flock of the Butterfly Hatching, grew weary of her miserable mortal existence a human occultist slaughtered the General she wed and chose his entire army to Ascendfuel her final Mark. Shedding both her identity as well as her and humanitywith one disemboweling blow, she the new Serpent became [[The Anaconda]]. Fascinated by the idea that a human would willingly gravitate to a serpentine form, the Great Serpent snatched the ascending mortal out from under the Butterfly Hatching's domain. In return for the ascended serpent, the Great Serpent gave the older power a novel boon- FNORD.
While this was going on, in [[The First History]] [[The Kingdom of Albion]] rose to prominence. [[King Arthur]] the Great, through his great deeds and wise judgement, became a legendary figure, a paragon of virtue whose legend became known in every History. Under his leadership Albion would become a mighty empire, unifying the British Isles, then Scotland, and from there occupying most of the known world.
