Rain Silves' Lifetime

In early stage of life
Birth	On the edge of the primeval forests in the Tatola Desert region, Rain is born to a poor village which is often attacked by the forest's primitive creatures.
1~8 years old	Because of her mutated appearance, Rain is subject to discrimination by the clan and suffers violent abuse by her mother. Her younger brother is also born during this period.
Approx. 8 years old	Unable to endure the discrimination and abuse, Rain kills her mother and massacres the villagers, then disappears into the forest with her younger brother. (There is a theory that she is around 12 years old during this event and that in reality, she didn't lend a hand when the village was attacked by forest beasts, instead leaving the village to be annihilated as she fled to the forest with her younger brother, etc. There are various theories.)
8~12 years old	Rain's younger brother dies (presumably by illness). At that time, the Talyxian-Associator named "Zyn" is encountered. She is taught how to live in the forest by him.
The Rise of Leadership & Unification of the North
Approx. 12 years old	Rain leaves the forest where she grew up and gathers the villages in the Tatola area. She also encounters Leeric during this time.
Approx. 16 years old	While Rain was still continuing journey for aid on whole Northern region by her leadership, Shigu lands already had become a small country that have specific ambition from primitive villages.
Approx. 18 years old	She had become to be known as "Savior General Rain", and govern Shigu that was just getting started as Kingdom. Her fort had built on the banks of the river Lon Sodd as her small castle, and her Kingdom had begun to develop from it as a starting point. And Rain was continuing to aid poor villages without a break after that.
Approx. 20 years old	The whole of the North is unified. At that time, Zyn suddenly had left from Rain. Then, Shigu's directionality of reign had begun change gradually from this as turning point.
Approx. 28 years old	Rain leads her army to expand her regional control, soon gaining total control over the Eastern Reono lands. The "Shigu Kingdom" is fully completed by Eastern agudner technical slaves.
Expansion of Territorial Rule
28 Years old ~	After gaining total control over the Reono, A plan was devised to expand her regional control. With the foothold in Reono lands, the war front was divided into two: the invasion of the Western lands, as well as plan to invade Gold Ring. The Western campaign was won. Western Sergals were annihilated, leaving only a small number of survivors to flee for Gold Ring. The war campaign on Gold Ring was a struggle, ultimately collapsing with the failed invasion led by Leeric. After that, Rain attempted constant invasion attempts on Gold ring, all ending in failure. The Shigu Kingdom became impoverished.
Rain's Last Years
Approx. 40 years old	The Shigu Kingdom collapses due to a shortage of resources and the exhaustion of frequent military failures. Rain's son staged a coup at this time, taking Rain captive and escorting her to be imprisoned in Gold Ring. With that, the World War finally came to an end.
Approx. 60 years old	Rain dies, aged and senile.
Legacy After Death	After her death, Rain's legacy is handed down by the people and a new calendar is established with its first year as her birth year. Because the Shigu army pillaged and exploited slavery to develop its technology during wartime, development in the Northern region is mainly focused on military tech. Later reforms in Shigu land become the foundation for the development of a large city as "Shigu Dukedom (or Shigu Public)", second only to Gold Ring.

 

Supplement

It should be noted that Rain's age as mentioned above is in Sergal age, which corresponds to human age as follows: 12 years = 16-18 years, 16 years = 22 years, 28 years = 36 years. Rain also grew larger through her entire life because of her mutation. At age 16 she was the size of some larger Sergals, but by 28 she was considerably larger than most Sergals. After that, her height did not change so much, but her frame and body continued to grow larger. In her last years, she had become so obese that movement was difficult. Additionally, her fur color became decolorized, turning completely white over time.
