Time Paradox
Location: Sunset Valley for the most part, extending partly to Bridgeport. Later on, Hekatonschoinos, Appaloosa Plains, and briefly Twinbrook.

Time Period: Encompassing at least 400 days

What happens when a time-space rift brings in people from ancient cultures? What happens when this same rift radically alters the said characters? What happens when a neighborhood is filled with individual enmities?

CAS Characters
This includes all CAS sims that is a member of a household even minor contribution to the plot, and all sims are organized by order in which the household is introduced.

Recurring First Time Warp CAS

 * Kleisthenes Alkmaionides: The main character in the Prologue, he is one of the first to witness this time rift. He has the skills that will help him out greatly in both social and financial matters. Now separated from his enemies back in Athenai, will he root in this new neighborhood?
 * Andromeda Alkmaionida: The eldest of the Alkmaionids, Andromeda suffered quite a blow from Kleisthenes' fall from power and her experiences with the time warp was unsettling, making Andromeda a coward. However, Andromeda is quite skilled in cooking, and isn't impaired socially or mentally in any matter.
 * Chryseis Alkmaionida: The third, Chryseis is the most positive of the bunch: Chryseis not only has the intellect, but Chryseis also has an aspiration to find romance, viewing the time warp as a new beginning. Will Chryseis be able to act upon that positive character and yield positive result?
 * Eurydike Alkmaionida
 * Helene Alkmaionida: The niece of Kleisthenes, Helene is most influenced by Chryseis, and certainly believes that two positive opinions are better than one. Helene also finds secondary school somewhat intriguing as well...


 * Philetairos Attalides
 * Eumenes Attalides: Philetairos' brother, Eumenes wholeheartedly supports Philetairos' agenda. Even though Eumenes is a supporting character without much independence, Eumenes certainly has luck, and he wishes to be an athelete and wishes to get the fame equivalent to that of a Olympics winner. However, in the second time warp he is truer to his historical self, and henceforth bookish and friendly (to the Greek city states and the Romaioi, that is). Of course, there is a needed suspension of belief, but that is more towards Philetairos, who is probably a eunuch, fat, and historically 2 generations ahead of Eumenes.
 * Stratonike Attalida
 * Parthenope Attalida: Philetairos' partner, Parthenope wishes to have an huge stock of wine nectar to fuel the party loving atmosphere prevalent in the Attalid house. Strangely enough, Parthenope is also blessed with tech skills, but surprisingly didn't lose her sanity.
 * Polyxena Attalida: Parthenope's sister, Polyxena's as if her traits came from Artemis and Aphrodites, being a lady of nature while having an interest in finding romance. Polyxena is not handicapped in technology, and Polyxena certainly is eager to use the affinity for the outdoors in her career aspirations.
 * Theophania Attalida: Stratonike's Simbot, Theophania is the first of the kind in the story, although by no means is Theophania an close counterpart to Frankenstein's monster: In fact, Theophania was in good terms with Stratonike, accompanying Stratonike in a trip to China with the purpose of being more proficient in Martial Arts.


 * Demetria Mykenaia
 * Thessalonike Thalamaia
 * Achaia Oropia
 * Kallisto Syrakosia


 * Hypatia Pydnaia
 * Lilian Syrakosia: Kallisto's ancestor-turned-daughter acquired via time travel. Although the original plan was to discard the character (as non-adults cannot have their names changed in the Hall before Generations with testingcheatsenabled), Lilian was kept alongside Salina to be supporting characters in the Scholars' Alliance. Although Lilian's contribution to the plot in the First Time Warp is minimal, Lilian gets a significantly greater role in the Second Time Warp.
 * Salina Thalamaia: Thessalonike's ancestor-turned-daughter, much like Lilian.

Characters first appearing in the second time warp

 * Lysistrata Amphipolita
 * Stephanophoros Syrakosios: Kallisto's fourth Simbot. His traits are widespread, ranging from Nurturing to Photographer's Eye, but he wishes to be a firefighter.


 * Marcvs Porcivs Cato: The Mishellenic Orator, Cato certainly isn't pleased with what he views as a town overrun by Hellenic overlords. ROMA VICTRIX! Cato is hopeful that at least Pompeius will side with him, as he disagrees with both Caesar and Flaminivs in their view on suggested attitudes towards the Hellenes.
 * Gnaevs Pompeivs Magnvs: Another Barbaros. Pompeivs decides to go into the field of business, seeing how Crassvs had won his riches in the unscrupulous business. Pompeivs also makes amends with Caesar, seeing as Sunset Valley isn't the seat of SPQR. Pompeivs wants to do to the Hellenic overlords that Cato mentions what he did to Arche Seleukeia, although he decides to keep low until the time is right... Although he has another agenda with the famously pro-Roman Attalids.
 * Ivlivs Caesar: The third Barbaros. Caesar is certainly less hostile to the Greeks, although by the nature of being a Romaios Barbaros Caesar is certainly less than well-meaning.
 * Titvs Qvinctivs Flaminivs: The Philhellenic Barbaros. The most open to Hellenes, Flaminivs disagrees with Cato's idea of making enemies with the Hellenes in hopes of taking them down and seizing dominance. However, Flaminivs certainly isn't too happy with Hellenic superpowers and vows to take them down.


 * Antigone Syrakosia: Kallisto's clone. Although raised in such nearly over-competitive atmosphere, Antigone certainly finds it enjoyable.


 * Immanuel Ames
 * Liam Awlaki: The artist of the Mathetai group. He's a musician and an artist, rather reminiscent of both Achaia and Demetria.
 * Shirley Anley: One of the Mathetai. Shirley shares the friendliness and charisma that was present in Demetria, although Shirley is much less skilled in music and more interested in politics. Is also clumsy on top of that.
 * Tiffany Dennis; One of the Mathetai. Although skilled with the wrenches, Tiffany is by no means close to any of the big techies in natural talents or overall skills. However, Tiffany does have a bookish streak to help overcome that weakness, although that doesn't really cover her cowardice.
 * Kallistrata Pellaia


 * Demetrios Pydnaios: The adopted son of Hyperia Pydnaia.
 * Eunike Pydnaia: Demetrios' imaginary friend turned real.
 * Epaphroditos Pydnaios: Hypatia's first simbot.
 * Chester Syrakosios: Kallisto's 6th simbot.
 * Carol Alkmaionida: Eurydike's first simbot
 * Chrysanthema Pellaia Kinnamonona
 * Pyrrha Edessaia
 * Esomena Protogena
 * Tessa Swanson: The first kataskopos (spy) of the Church
 * Nicole Swanson

 * Gwibin Kang: the matriarch of the Kang family, wife of Taejong.
 * Yuri Kang: The eldest daughter of the Kang family, environmental and inventive.
 * Sung Hoon Kang: The second son of the Kang family.

Quick summary of factional changes and important events
Introduction of the Alkmaionids: initation of the story and the first timeline, starts with the isolationism.

Introduction of the Attalids, transition from isolationism of the Alkmaionids to the exoticism of the Attalids. Introduces a key character Stratonike, who is the main character in the Attalid chapter.

Introduction of the Beauty 4, transition from exoticism to populism of Demetria, as well as the skill progressivism that was started by Stratonike. Also introduces a key character Kallisto.

Introduction of Hypatia, subjugation of Beauty 4 and factionally speaking creating the Scholars' Alliance, as well as the first multifamilial movement unlike the Attalids and the Alkmaionids, who did not care for other factions in general. Also centralization of power starts with Hypatia.

Second Timeline begins, reintroduction of the Alkmaionids as well as a key character Lysistrata.

Christopher Steel and Demetria-Hypatia feud: the first big schism of the central power (which would end up being almost a standardized thing) and the formation of the Union of the Insane. Introduces the Romaioi Barbaroi faction, nominally inimical to the Greek Union of the Insane.

Skill Race: the de facto establishment of skill gain as the main element of the central family.

Romance Heresy: the lesser schism and temporary departure of Stratonike and Lysistrata, impetus for the creation of Kallisto's church. Also introduces Kallistrata.

Reorganization: Kallistrata is added to the central power, codification of Kallisto's way of life, and the increasing stigma against romance.

Bridgeport expedition: Kallisto dispatches 3 clones to Bridgeport, later on important when Kallisto becomes more militaristic.

Mercantilism: Kallistrata's encouragement to produce leads to sudden growth in the Church's treasury. Church now becomes a great local power, now expanding its reach beyond Sunset Valley.

Hekatonschoinos: The Church is split although of same affiliation, and Hekatonschoinos appears to serve as the capital world of the newborn Church.

Militarism: Kallisto becomes ever more aggressive, especially at sight of romance. Especially so when Antigone leaves to create a heretical movement. Also the Church becomes a financial giant on top of that: the church growing ever so powerful and thus more intrusive.

First Time Warp: Prologue
The fleeing Alkmaionids suddenly find themselves in Sunset Valley: being given this new beginning, they decide to buy a house "El" Urban Sprawl and expand upon it greatly. From there the Alkmaionidai started the acquisition of much needed skills that would assist greatly in their careers. In a constant toil involving writing, gardening, fishing, cooking, and so on, it was only a matter of time before the Alkmaionidai became proficient in the skills, and soon found themselves easing into careers, with Andromeda reaching level 10 in the Cooking career. Despite their successes in employment, the Alkmaionidai were largely secluded from the neighborhood, their interactions with the outsiders mostly limited to interactions at work, asides from a party that Kleisthenes throws in hopes of gaining acceptance, only to be insulted once by his close friend Cycl0n3 Sw0rd. Despite some efforts into getting their presence known, the Alkmaionidai were largely unknown to the general public.

The Arrival of the Attalidai
Then the story takes a new group of dynamic characters, the Attalidai. Unlike the Alkmaionidai, who were of the refugee origins and henceforth initially resistant to drawing attention, the Attalidai being largely Party Animals were more than eager to draw attention to themselves, usually throwing about 2 to 3 parties a week. This also coincided with Parthenope's goal of obtaining enough wine Nectar, which was initiated by a visit to Champs Les Sims and obtaining the said book. Even before the trip to France, Parthenope got pregnant and gave birth to twin daughters Olympias and Thetis, who grew up to be fine, Olympias being a pragmatic logician and disciplinarian while Thetis being a brave artistic bookworm. However, the true core of the story belongs to Stratonike, who despite being at the shadows and generally avoiding the hectic party atmosphere common in the first floor, concentrated her efforts into mastering the art of invention. But when it came to Simbots, Stratonike needed a Pink Diamond, and this led to the Attalid trip to China, leading to the start of the Martial Arts tradition among the Attalids, the instigator not being Stratonike but rather Eumenes (although Stratonike quickly becomes the pioneer). Having worked hard enough, Stratonike is rewarded with the pink diamond, which Stratonike gives it a heart-cut aided by having hunted other gems via the Collection Helper reward, which would have a vital ramification on a second trip to China.

Having obtained the pink diamond (and bunch of random seeds, gems, and ores), Stratonike gathers enough material with the assistance of Polyxena who helps with the cultivation of Life fruits. Stratonike then successfully creates the first Simbot in the story universe, and bestows upon the Simbot the name Theophania, with whom Stratonike engaged in a close relationship. After some time of more parties and Philetairos' promotion to Chef de Cuisine, Stratonike and Theophania takes a mother-and-brainchild trip to China, where Stratonike is struck by meteor while in training. Just as hopes were ebbing away from Theophania, by a stroke of luck did the Grim Reaper find a death flower seed from Stratonike's hodgepodge, reviving Stratonike. Initially, Stratonike believed this to be the work of a life fruit seed, but after surfing some web and taking inventory, it was found out that it was a death flower seed. Being equipped with that vital information, Stratonike acquires more seeds, which Polyxena took and cultivated death flowers with all while being promoted to the position of Mad Scientist.

The Anabasis of Beauty 4
When the Attalid parties became an virtual institution of the Sunset Valley, the Beauty 4 came to town, led by Demetria who was by nature attracted to the Attalid love of parties. Alongside Demetria was Thessalonike, Achaia and Kallisto, most of them not as eager as Demetria to come into a town recently populated by a group of rich party animals, but none as opposed to that idea initially as Kallisto. However, after some self-development and party-hosting of their own, Kallisto took notice of Stratonike and Theophania, and took resolve into completing her lifetime wish. It took several weeks and several deaging secret maneuvers first discovered by the Attalids (the makeover age reset) to turn the four into superpowers in their own right, with Demetria cruising through the Music career and selecting the Rockstar path, Thessalonike successfully mastering both the Martial Arts skill and the Athletic skills required for her lifetime wish while at the same time successfully becoming the only Legend of Sports ever in the neighborhood. Achaia on the other hand also fared pretty well, mastering Cooking, Sculpting and most importantly Writing, her main source of income. Kallisto however became the second of the Renaissance Sims (Stratonike being the first, and Achaia being the third), blitzing through handiness and invention, while also mastering Martial Arts for the same reason as Stratonike did. Having succeeded in all of that, Kallisto also fulfills her lifetime wish, creating Briseis, Eurylochos, and Selene (while building one more, named Hieron) in that order, only to send them away as Kallisto deemed them to be in need of self-identities and political representation, allowing them to occupy the old Crumplebottom residence after Crumplebottom died of old age quite some time ago. Despite their monumental successes, they would succeed even more under an upstart...

Hypatia
Then, out of nowhere, Hyperia came in and occupied an house. Hypatia was an unusual sim to begin with, using that to first master Cooking, Painting, Handiness, Fishing and Gardening with which to establish herself with. Having mastered numerous skills, it was only a matter of time before Hypatia took notice of the Beauty 4 and took measures to subjugate them. Succeeding in that colossal task, Hypatia became the number one in Sunset Valley in terms of skills while making close friends with all the Beauty 4, especially with Kallisto while keeping them content (having renamed the group Scholars' Alliance at that point) by providing them with autonomy.

Scholars' Alliance was an important step forward, especially when considering the current Meris Sophiston, as it was the first to indirectly institutionalize the doctrine of learning for learning's sake, while as Stratonike did it for the Simbot, and the Beauty 4 originally did not have a clear aim at all with the skills, since the career concern was only secondary at best, and the fact that the Beauty 4 originally did not have any plans for power itself.

This union of the old and new gains more momentum when Stratonike joins them, ensuring Scholars' Alliance's position as a household of elite sims, and all seems to go well... until another time warp occurs.

The Second Time Warp
The second time warp would bring back to life the expired Alkmaionidai, all passing away to old age. However, this came at the cost of all their skills, and it took time to reconstruct their once firm yet inconspicuous position on the neighborhood. The Alkmaionidai also takes in a newcomer, Lysistrata Amphipolita into their care, and Lysistrata becomes an excellent logician and practioner of medical care. Lysistrata kept good ties with all of the Alkmaionidai, and this allowed Lysistrata to keep touch with them when she and Eurydike would eventually move away.

Return of the Scholars' Alliance and the beginning of localized feuds
The Scholars return, although Hyperia's latest gains in skills were lost. This set the stage for the second period in the Scholars' Alliance, a time of tension, as Hyperia was no longer invincible per se. This newcoming superpower certainly alarmed the Altos, and even mean-spirited Nick couldn't afford to make enemies on two fronts, and with suggestions from Vita, decides to scout them first while doing the unthinkable: ending the enmity between the Landgraabs just in case his mean-spiritedness would get the better of him, while keeping a good name with them by inducing Holly to befriend Kallisto. (some say that this led to Holly's eventual insanity) While all the Altos' diplomatic maneuvering was taking place, Christopher Steel became an epicenter for a potential disaster, kissing and captivating Achaia, Jamie, Ayesha and Hyperia. However, despite it being the catalyst to the first schism, it was not the only reason for it: Achaia also had a slightly negative view of Thessalonike, a clear decline considering their strong bond intially even under Hyperia, caused by Thessalonike's tendency to cheat several times, cheating on Leighton Sekemoto and another sim.

This led to a conflict in interest in the Scholars' Alliance: Demetria, who was first fed up with Hyperia leading the household to a direction of less party and more study (ever since the 2nd Warp, the Scholars' Alliance had hosted no parties, and parties were much rarer even in the 1st timeline), supported Achaia's claim to Christopher, causing a rift between Demetria and Hyperia. In response, Kallisto and Stratonike peel away from the now-dysfunctional group, establishing the Union of the Insane, inviting Lysistrata and Eurydike, who were also insane. Eventually, Hyperia was fed up with this, and with the invitation of Kallisto for whatever reason, who ended up taking refuge at the Union of the Insane's domains. This opened up an friendly skills race between Kallisto and Hyperia, which was then joined by Stratonike momentarily.

While all of those were happening, enmities started to form: The Bunch family got on the wrong side of Nick Alto, and Achaia herself got herself in an clash with Vita Alto. Christopher Steel would suffer many calamities, losing Ayesha to drowning (although he will beat a dead horse, incurring a communal backlash against him), while becoming enemies with Layton Sekemoto. The Landgraabs also got new enemies, Geoffrey conflicting with Andromeda.

The Coming of the Romaioi Barbaroi and the effective dissolution of the Beauty 4
What has turned into a potential chaos was not abated by the coming of the Romaioi. The Barbaroi wishes to establish superiority, which didn't turn out so well as of this point. However, the Barbaroi did succeed in making enemies (and friends), Pompeivs making enemies with Kleisthenes. Barbaroi kept themselves at the periphery, even though Cato was all too eager to make enemies with the Hellenic overlords (ironic at hindsight since Cato ended up being good friends with one of the Hellenic overlords Hypatia), although Cato did not meet with any member of the Union of the Insane.

Meanwhile, Thessalonike's newfound tendency to go cheating in romantic relationships soon gave her an reputation, and with it came opposition from Achaia, eventually resulting in termination of their friendships. This led to a huge problem to Demetria, as Demetria wished to hold what remained, although Demetria eventually became neutral to Hyperia. Demetria was devastated: The very union that Demetria oversaw seemingly ready to crumble: Kallisto deserted a long time ago, and now the growing rift between Thessalonike and Achaia would only worsen things for Demetria, who attempted to cope with this with more parties. However, despite some seething unfriendliness, the old power would hold on, although at quite an attenuated power and liveliness.

The Skill Race of the Union of the Insane
However, a clear lack of leadership position in the Union of the Insane led to a Skill Race, mostly between Kallisto and Hyperia with some participation by Stratonike. The presumed goal is to be the true number one, and henceforth implied leadership in the household. However, unlike the case with the now largely derelict Scholars' Alliance, such competitions were quite friendly and frictions were rare: In fact, Kallisto and Hyperia remained special friends, although the main members still were a net of close superstar friends. Meanwhile, they began to plan for their eventual true hegemony marked by property ownership, which would eventually lead to a clash with the Romaioi. Despite this direction, most of them were oblivious to the Romaioi, with only Lysistrata and Eurydike having met Pompeivs and Ivlivs respectively and nothing else. In all of this constructive competitive atmosphere, Kallisto acquired a clone and named her Antigone, who would benefit much from her upbringing in a supercompetent atmosphere.

To some, the modus operandi of the Union of the Insane might be seen as cultish, as the Union was well-known for personal development when the core members for the most part have huge arsenal of skills, surpassing that of even the Beauty 4: Stratonike, Hyperia and Kallisto have skillsets that are well above that of Demetria and Achaia, both respectable and well developed, if not unnatural due to their unnaturally long life. In fact, the unnatural operations of the Union was culminated by the acquisition of the Motive Mobile, allowing them to refill their motives as they pleased, allowing them to neutralize the need for sleep, and the Age Freeze potion, rendering the core members virtually immortal.

The Great War That did not Happen
Eventually, Christopher Steel hypocritically considering his tendency to flirt (he had cheated quite a lot, and had romances with at least 4 sims) accuses Hyperia of cheating on him even when Hyperia quit romance quite a while ago. This immediately sparks a publically known feud: with Jamie Jolina, Jamie's lack of celebrity status kept Jamie's meat against Christopher private, but with Hyperia, media was on to Hyperia's radar of things. Of course, Hyperia being publically humiliated asks Stratonike for assistance, when conveniently Lysistrata came to Hyperia's aid as Lysistrata was that centerpiece of the Medical community that Jamie was a part of. Lysistrata would go subvert the entire medical community against Christopher as a retribution for hurting an ally. Essentially, it was the World War I in a neighborhood scale without guns. Of course, Jamie was all too happy to have a powerful set of allies against her enemy, and would go on turning her friends to wage a psychological war against Christopher. Achaia would be shocked: Achaia now happened to be the girlfriend of the public enemy, and ended up envying Demetria, who had a relatively happy end so far being an fiancee of Abraham Finkel. With Jolina firmly allied to the Union of the Insane, the core members pour out what would be called the Great Bowls of Wrath, starting from Lysistrata's communal assault on Christopher's reputation to Stratonike's barrage of hurt. While all this events that would have come to pass didn't occur when Hyperia ended this with the Clear Slate, Ivlivs however used the growing commotion and slipping past the radars of Kallisto and Hyperia made great friends with all the remaining members of the Beauty 4. In fact, Ivlivs would set himself to be quite a social guy, and one of the very few non-Greeks to have a sizeable network of friends.

The Insane Ones' Hegemony and the beginnings of Bridgeport Invasion
Kallisto however was not satisfied with the Union's practical hegemony over Sunset Valley, and eyed a new town to invade. Kallisto chose the lively city of Bridgeport, proceeding with the plan by doing another unprecedented action: creating 3 true clones with identical traits, looks, and initial skills and dispatching the 3 to Bridgeport to establish a forward base of operation. Kallisto's imperial goals was no short of establishing a great empire no less than that of Alexandros for herself, and the others simply didn't care as they were quite occupied in overseeing their domains.

Even though Kallisto clones, due to their looks, had all the fame of the original Kallisto, but they initially were able to operate outside the radar of the established celebrities, since they were either too occupied with their party life or had feuds of their own (i.e. Vampiric war) The Kallisto clones would receive fundings from Kallisto, allowing them to buy a respectable house and enough initial funds to take over several real estates, from which they withheld initially to keep their presence and objectives covert as possible.

Romance Heresy
Unfortunately, the Union of the Insane itself followed the footstep of the Scholars' Alliance, not so surprising as many of its members came from the old power. While the core members strictly observed the rules and did not commit the heretic act (later codified by Kallisto) of seeking out romantic interests and giving any inch of impetus to quarrel, there was no infighting. However, the observation of such practices started to unravel when a defect Kallisto clone named Kallistrata moved right next door, who observed the beginning of the unraveling, where Stratonike and Eurydike verbally fought each other (although Eurydike was the one who preferred insulting, a rare case because later on it would be Stratonike who would have the rude tongue) and terminated their friendship without being hostile, while the growing conflict between Kallisto and Stephanophoros was less visible. However, the catalyst came into play when Hyperia revoked her vow to abstain from romance by involving herself romantically with Sam Sekemoto (keep in mind, Hyperia's rendered immortal with the lifetime reward like all other core members of the Union of the Insane), followed by Stratonike who was involved with Artie Page, Lysistrata following suit with Leighton Sekemoto (who is a young adult by the virtue of vampirism), while Eurydike, although not directly dating, fell for Pompeius. Kallisto could only find horror in this as largely a neutral in the infighting between the core members and was the only one to have good ties with all other members, conflict centering on Hyperia and Stratonike/Lysistrata, although Stratonike and Lysistrata themselves weren't truly allies: rather, Stratonike pretty much alienated every other core member save for Kallisto. Lysistrata and Stratonike left on their separate ways, Stratonike returning to the Attalid household while Lysistrata moved in with Jamie Jolina, while Stephanophoros himself leaving to join his sister-in-kind Lilian in the old Scholars' Alliance. Kallistrata did not come alone: next was the construction of two bars, one suspiciously foreign one named Banzai Lounge, other the Play Chambers, the latter owned and built by Kallistrata.

Scholars' Alliance had its own issues, nonwithstanding the outright hostility between Achaia and Vita Alto as well as Thessalonike. Demetria doubled her problems, gaining the most number of hostile relations while expanding her popularity, although her fiancee Abraham Finkel moved in. Thessalonike had no additional troubles, and actually kept her newest romance quite stable without cheating on him, at least not just yet. Dave Ramsey would join the suit, moving in with Thessalonike, while Demetria would find some solace in her marriage with Abraham.

Paradox Rising
However, the seemingly innocuous Kallistrata was actually a sign of coming problems, as she was the first of the Kallisto clones warped by the forces of Chaos. Kallisto's eagerness to expand was preyed upon by the powers of Chaos, and Kallisto's such sweeping accomplishments made it easy for Chaos to identify Kallisto, and start affecting the clones, starting with one who became Kallistrata. Although the forces of Chaos was not strong enough to instill malignant thoughts into the clones, whether it be a time-bender clone (i.e. Kallisto-1,2,3 and Kallistrata, the former ones spared for now) or a 3rd-party clone (Antigone), the changes were very visible enough: Kallistrata, although the first and thus the least affected, had a different hairstyle, clothes, and minor changes in the face, while Antigone was pretty much turned into a new character without any likeness to Kallisto.

Despite all this, the town itself was not disturbed by any of this, and the warp problem was largely native to the Union of the Insane, although this could now be a misnomer, since Lysistrata and Stratonike left the group and made the representative power of insane sims in the household significantly weaker. Eurydike however found her loyalty quite rewarding, as Eurydike would reap many benefits from hosting parties, backed up by Hyperia's superior cooking skills while allowing the Union to have a very positive image lost when Lysistrata left, and even more so Stratonike, who rivals even the rockstar Demetria when it came to popularity, although without the backlash associated with such fame (although part of it has to do with the fact that Demetria's opposition largely stemmed from the Attalid females)

Meris Sophiston
The codex established the Meris Sophiston, or the Order of Scholars. To accomodate for the change in operational methodology, Kallisto ordered the complete overhaul of the Union of the Insane housing, tearing down the old Epiteichma house and establishing the Naos-Stratopedon, the Chapel-Barracks (or literally, Temple-Camp), enacting to minimize bedroom quarters to an absolute minimum as standard in any barracks, while maximizing scholarly areas, having plenty of skill-related items and plenty of rooms to place them. Although the building is not yet complete, lacking the observatory, Kallisto established the basic guideline for the establishment of Chapel-Barracks should there be converts to the faith. In top of that, Kallisto took on the religious role of Chaplain, which merely meant chanting catechisms of anti-romance and scholarly attitudes, since the actual worship was actively developing technical skills.

However, their role as celebrities forced even the likes of Kallisto to accept one thing: they could not eschew parties, simply because the neglect to clean up after the scandals caused by false accusactions (of course, which was one of the reason why they lamented this) built up a sizeable backlash as well, most evidently with Kallisto, and Kallisto herself actively hosted parties to keep negative attitudes at bay, despite her Loner trait. After all, evangelism is very difficult in a hostile environment...

Kallisto's concept of redefining parties, away from the original definition of fun for host and socialization to that of public entertainment, was a key factor in additional changes: Kallisto went to establish the Amphitheatron to serve as a center of public entertainment by Meris Sophiston: it would lead to much success: Public opinion was affected very positively to a point where even a succession of scandals, mostly false accusations, did not create a surge of negative opinion regarding Kallisto. While Kallisto redefined the role of Union of the Insane, Kallistrata had the first convert in Thornton Wolff, whose Vampiric vigor provided a synergy to Kallistrata's already respectable teaching skills (having mastered the Skill Professor challenge), leading to a sudden awareness of the new religion in the Vampire ranks.

The birth stage of the religion meant that it was quite turbulent: Kallisto proposed the idea of establishing Initiate households, arguing that the core members' need to host public entertainment may lead the disciples astray, citing Epaphroditos who was a Party Animal as an example. Hypatia saw through Kallisto's ploy, since Kallisto did little to disguise her attempt at bringing back Lysistrata and Stratonike back. However, Hypatia couldn't do a thing to prevent it, since Eurydike and Antigone were apathetic about the issue, and Kallistrata's support for Kallisto's agenda led to Hypatia's defeat regarding the establishment of initiate households. Kallisto had her way, and appointing Epaphroditos as Lochagos to oversee Eunike and Demetrios' development, sent them away to a new Chapel-Barrack, which was unfortunately near a dance club (Kallisto wanted to counteract it by building an observatory near it, although that wasn't completed at the time). Having made room, Lysistrata instantly rejoined, and Stratonike followed suit and took Kallisto's counteroffer.

Success Of Mercantilism: The March of 500k
With the inclusion of Stratonike and Lysistrata, the Union of the Insane suddenly saw a huge explosion in revenue: Tiberium experiments were actually a loss: the experiment involving Tiberium Transfiguration was a fiasco, cutting return on investment by 1/8th. However, they had a sudden surge in income due to several factors: Lysistrata was back as the World Renowned Surgeon, although that wasn't nearly enough: it was mercantilism: Kallistrata started by investing in more nectar making devices: essentially seeking to quadruple output, while the addition of Stratonike sent the sculpting section at full run most of the time. combining all sales, salaries, tiberium, and others, the Union of the Insane suddenly saw a total profit of 500k in just 6 days, allowing them to surpass the wealth level of the Scholars' Alliance in such haste. This mercantilistic success was attributed to the Union policy, and Kallisto ensured that Stratonike and Lysistrata would be taught to fill in the gap that they had. With outstanding products, they suddenly saw themselves as uberrich. The sudden increase in nectar output also attracted the attention of the Attalids, particularly Parthenope, who was eager to establish trade agreements with Kallistrata to get her hands on the rich nectar produced by the Union of the Insane, now deemed far superior to most French products.

Kallisto, of course, had plans with that sudden influx of money: Kallisto planned to build an empire, for the Amphitheatron was just the beginning of Kallisto's grand scheme. Kallisto planned to turn the entire town upside down with new public projects, and thus mark the Golden Age of Sunset Valley by the Greeks, of the Greeks, and of course, for the Greeks (and allies). This was an expansion of Kallisto's previous ambitions, to spread the Union influence beyond Sunset Valley, where the Union would no longer be content with being influential or famous: The Union was already that. No, that wasn't enough. Union of the Insane was to be the new rulers of all Simkind, so aspires Kallisto.

Time of Imperial Splendor
With the formation of the religious structure of the Church of Alexandros, Chaplain Kallisto was soon working towards reducing squalor and economic importance of town by building public structures. In fact, Kallisto's agenda was to renovate Sunset Valley, making it an academic center worthy of being the seat of the first diocese of Alexandros. The first two projects were the Agora for foreign goods, especially books since the Union was very interested in importing skill books and recipe books, as well as breaking the monopoly previously held by the Attalids over books on advanced Nectar Making, and the Research Lab to supplement the preexisting Landgraab Science Facility, presenting life fruits to the public domain for the first time as well as increasing the availability of death fishes to the public, although exotic fruits were already introduced by the introduction of Oinopolis, now renamed Emporion Nektaros to remove the hinting of comparison to wine. In addition to the resources, the Research Lab is also the first public institution to offer experimentation with Invention, and also houses an observatory on top of that.

Having made those additions, Kallisto felt more accomplished, although Kallisto (and Kallistrata) felt something was missing: despite these additions, the religion was largely contained to the household, with few outside believers asides from the likes of Thornton Wolff, despite Stratonike's experimentation with introducing didactic house parties in which the Union Sims would depart skills to invited sims.

However, The Agora was a failure and a success: The Agora, despite being the most expensive public building and the 2nd most expensive behind the Naos-Strapedon class housings, has not attracted any foreign goods and tomes, disappointing as Kallisto's primary objective for building the Agora was to obtain the foreign tomes. However, the Agora was a success of its own: it was highly effective immigration factor despite the commercial debacle, attracting the likes of the Connor family, who were potential converts to the Church of Alexandros, which was convenient as the Agora also was graced by a big Chapel to the Church of Alexandros.

Despite the failure of Agora to generate income, the Tiberium aspect of Union's income has hit a peak, and along with nectar, sculpting, jobs, and others, the mercantilist policy continued to yield success, to the point where the Union's total wealth is more than twice that of the Scholars' Alliance and more than 4 times that of the Attalids. Kallistrata took inventory and removed fruits that are not of the perfect quality, ever increasing the quality of the nectar produced by the Union, and the quantity was also increased, thanks to Kallistrata's completion of the Master of Nectar Making. All while that was happening, Thessalonike eventually married Dave Ramsey, and Achaia eventually decided to leave, picking love over wealth: as Steel family was the poorest of the bunch with a bit over 10,000 simoleons in possession. Lilian and Salina also chose to part in their separate ways, moving into a house and naming themselves the Relics of the Past household.

With the Union, Stratonike benefited the most from her realignment, mastering Nectar Making and Cooking at brutal speed, putting her once again ahead of Eurydike. Lysistrata eventually made it into the core members cast, and although Lysistrata would remain the least skilled of the bunch, Lysistrata found herself at the better end of the deal, and Lysistrata once again became a major wage earner, reaching almost 20k simoleon per week alongside Hypatia despite Kallisto's order to take a week-long break to sharpen up skills. Kallisto however once again was struck by various scandals, many arising from both her ever-so-persistent image as a psyker and now, the jealously among some who were now envious of the splendor of the Union, despite the unmaterialistic attitude of the Union who didn't give a hoot about money as much as they did on making quality products and making advancements. Kallistrata wanted a disciple, and had the family engaging in many time travels in a vain attempt at a kid, although they did end up with rare normal tomes and money. Kallistrata eventually got fed up, and adopted Chrysanthema.

Inflation and Palace of Pella-Syrakousai
However, the overabundance of rich sims, as well as the general growth in wealth of sims in general, posed a huge problem: the Sunset Valley was a time bomb for a onset of hyperinflation, and this was something that the Union of the Insane was very aware of: although money meant little, the Union feared that this hyperinflation would cause their PR to suffer, as it was they who spread skills, and thus average human capital and average income of the entirety of Sunset Valley in general, which wasn't helped by their mercantilist policy, somewhat similar to Spain's travesty as their massive monetary accumulation led to massive depreciation of currency.

To counter the current oversupply of simoleons, Kallisto considered adding a property tax, but then chose to simply burn the Union's own treasury up with an extraordinarily lavish palace for the masses. Initially, Kallisto was against the idea of such a palace, since Kallisto feared that this would encourage love of luxury and thus heresy. However, the problem of probable hyperinflation which was suppressed only by a low velocity of money was greater, and since Kallisto did not want a disaster should other families spend more and thus increase the velocity of money, decided to agree with Kallistrata's proposal of an extraordinarily lavish palace: Of course, this would have to be of even grander scale than even the Agora: it would have to burn at least 1.5 million simoleons, so said Kallistrata.

Move to Hekatonschoinos
However, the relative monotony of Sunset Valley shook up the Union of the Insane, and according to urban legends, Kallisto with her ever-so-present (or at least, purported to be) psychic powers raised an entire set of landmass in the middle of the ocean: the theory supported by the fact that the landmass is very fragmented and unnatural: the region of Hekatonschoinos is very disconnected and thus multiple bridges are present to keep the entire community around Hekatonschoinos connected. Whatever the truth regarding the origins of Hekatonschoinos, The Union of the Insane migrated there where it would be the capital world of the Church of Alexandros.

Kallisto soon came up with a new direction: capture an Unicorn for study. Kallistrata was thrilled, since rumors had it that Unicorns could bless flora, and thus Kallistrata would benefit from the Unicorn's presense.

There, The membership of Church of Alexandros is as what follows, bold names denoting core members: With that, Kallisto once again pushed forward to build a complete variant of the Palace of Pella-Syrakousai to subjugate the population, and made other moves to keep people happy and eager to adopt the official religion of Hekatonschoinos: the initial population were mostly Greeks and converts, such as Thornton Wolff and the Mathetai. Eventually, however, massive employment opportunities drew foreigners like moth to the flames, and a body of foreign population quickly began to form, scattered throughout Hekatonschoinos. Meanwhile, Kallisto's push for a unicorn led to the adoption of Boukephalos, which developed to be a swift and agile horse befitting his name derived from the homonymous steed of Megas Alexandros.
 * Kallisto Syrakosia: Chaplain of the Hekatonschoinos Chapter of the Union of the Insane, founder of the Church of Alexandros.
 * Kallistrata Pellaia: Chief Librarian, Gardener, Nectar Maker, and Inventor of the Union of the Insane
 * Stratonike Attalida: Treasurer-in-chief of Church of Alexandros.
 * Antigone Syrakosia: Missionary in training of the Hekatonschoinos Chapter of the Union of the Insane.
 * Hypatia Pydnaia: The Chapter Mistress of Church of Alexandros, Head of the Sunset Valley Chapter of the Union of the Insane.
 * Eurydike Alkmaionida: Missionary of the Sunset Valley Chapter of the Union of the Insane.
 * Lysistrata Amphipolita: Librarian of the Sunset Valley Chapter.
 * Thornton Wolff: Residing at Hekatonschoinos, separate from the other Initiates due to trait issues
 * Demetrios Pydnaios: Resident of the Initiate Household at Hekatonschoinos
 * Epaphroditos Pydnaios: Lochagos of the Initiate Household at Hekatonschoinos
 * Eunike Pydnaia: Initiate member, residing at Hekatonschoinos
 * Immanuel Ames and other Mathetai: residing at the Initiate Household at Hekatonschoinos.

In addition to that, the Southwestern Nome of Hekatonschoinos became densely populated by Asian sims, to the point where the region there was given the alias Asian enclave, populated mostly by East Asian sims of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese origins, and sooner or later, many of the Greeks in Hekatonschoinos often referred to such sims as Klerouchoi, as many of the East Asian sims there were quite ambitious and certainly eager to get themselves involved in one of the most liberally educational organizations known, befitting the name Klerouchoi, since the historical Klerouchoi pointed to soldiers who were given a plot of land in return for military service, and in this case, they were given a place to live, work, and in the church in return for their alliegiance to the Church.

Maverick Antigone
Soon, Antigone grew tired of the initial partyless and artless environment of Hekatonschoinos, and made her way out of Hekatonschoinos. Kallisto initially believed Antigone to return to Sunset Valley, looking at the chapter members and to report any signs of romance (or heresy). Antigone however, had other plans. Antigone wanted animals deemed low by Kallisto, namely cats and dogs, and Antigone knew that Sunset Valley lacked the infrastructures to handle dogs and cats, and thus proceeded towards Appaloosa Plains, acknowledged by the Church as the Mecca of all things animal.

Successful Subjugation
Eventually, the equestrian development of the Hekatonschoinos chapter did them much good: Kallisto sooner or later developed Boukephalos into a great jumper, winning advanced competition without a problem. With most of the notable population having positive view on the Union there, Kallisto and Kallistrata (along with Stratonike) could focus on acquiring an unicorn, which they did through unnatural means, using telepathy to persuade the Unicorn. The Unicorn joined as a friend of all the Chapter sims, and became chose Kallistrata to be the best friend. However, Hekatonschoinos weakened the Church hold on Sunset Valley: although the Sunset Valley chapter still owned most of the businesses there, the Altos and the Landgraabs sooner or later wanted to creep into the business and establish their empire once more. Sunset Valley did not have a equestrian tradiiton due to a lack of land, and as such, the Sunset Valley chapter gave much less emphasis on horses, unlike Hekatonschoinos chapter whose sims were eager to embrace horsemanship.

Kallisto, now that the objective of acquiring the Unicorn was complete, decided to use him to convert the people, especially the Klerouchoi, to the Alexandreian faith, while building the public workshop right next to the Agora and the Horse center named Hippodromon kai Skeuothekai Hippikai to encourage the practice of skills. Sooner or later, the Church deemed WooHooium heretical material, and stocks were built only to be studied, and the Church forbade the residents of Hekatonschoinos to place them near beds, although only the chapter itself had any stocks of Woohooium.

Dissident Churches
Kallisto's philosophy of all work, skills and no love was in direct conflict with Achaia's aims. In addition, Salina Thalamaia, who had been a staunch opponent of Kallisto alongside Agnes Crumplebottom, ended up allying one another and thus came the two new informal powers: first, Achaia's Free Love Movement, which had its followers back in Sunset Valley despite the absence of Kallisto, and the Liberty Party of Restoration by Agnes and Salina, the former movement was formed because of the direct conflict in beliefs, the latter movement simply because of their opposition to the established effective power. In fact, when Kallisto left, the latter movement did not directly oppose the standing members of the Union of the Insane at Sunset Valley: in fact, the Liberty Party was more interested in less "public entertainment" and more interested in equitable division of power. Hypatia, who had a favorable relationship with Agnes, immediately worked a truce between the two factions: the Church will not exert blatant policial force to fit the town to their beliefs, while the Liberty Party on the other hand recognized the Church ownership of most of the land and abandoned their move to force liquidation of Church holdings in Sunset Valley.

Meanwhile, Achaia's Free Love Movement was very obscure: very few were interested in the Free Love Movement, mainly because Achaia's attachment to Christopher Steel had led to the disintegration in Achaia's little influence that Achaia ever had in the first place. Although some interest was generated in the Flirty and Hopeless Romantic sims, a few sims laughed at even the idea of such a movement. In fact, Justine Keaton for one howled in laughter of such an idea: Justine was reported to say "Why doesn't the girl just get laid? Is this some excuse for a mass free love? I got laid, and I don't need to join that to do it."

Al-Husna and Tessa's first assignment
In Sunset Valley, two sims, named Usaim Hamdi and Ayham Bahri, moved in and created a group called the Al-Husna, meaning "The House." The Al-Husna were staunch environmentalists, and they were very socially conservative on top of that. Al-Husna, despite their initial lack of power, found the relative gap created by departure of Kallisto quite convenient. The Al-Husna chose to be aloof, to be minimally noticed to prevent them from being targeted by any major group in power. Eventually, Ayham became a Neurosurgeon, and as such contact with the Union was inevitable, since the only possible candidate for a boss happened to be Lysistrata and forged an amiable relation with Lysistrata, and thus moving towards amity with the Greeks. Meanwhile, the Altos chose not to wage an estate wars with the Union, since they still had the Landgraabs and other powerful families, such as the Roommates and the suddenly rich Jamie Jolina who benefited from her alliance with Lysistrata.

Nikos, a constituent of the 2nd Cultural Exchange, invited the Union members to the party at their abode to curry favors with the powerful group, and Nikos succeeded in befriending Hypatia. Soon, Hypatia believed that declaring hegemony may be a feasible option once again, since they had a great following, such as the Conners Family who migrated solely to see the Union.

Meanwhile, Tessa was given her first assignment, and was swiftly deployed to Appaloosa Plains in order to gather information about Antigone's activities. Antigone, despite her free spirit, was not interested in Romance as Kallisto initially believed. And so Tessa's intelligence efforts could not get anything heretical out of Antigone, and Kallisto remained suspicious, although Kallisto did not believe that Antigone would spread full-fledged heresy. However, Kallisto set eyes on the neglected Bridgeport, and wished to establish control of it as soon as possible. Kallisto believed that the native "nobles" there would not give up the power to the Church so easily, and planned on an coup to militarily establish an Church-oriented government there.

While that was happening, Achaia sooner or later found out about the Swansons and how they served as Kallisto's guinea pigs. Having publicized the news, Achaia soon got some support from romantics who all wished that the Swansons would find love as they would have wanted, and be set free from the oppression of the Church. Achaia knew that she alone could not take on Kallisto head on, and planned her move to Appaloosa Plains, where Antigone had her populist movement: Achaia hoped to link up with Antigone and add to Antigone's power base so that Appaloosa Plain would be free from any Church intervention, which would have meant immediate inquisition and any romances would be harshly dealt with, unless marriage was involved. And hence, Achaia and some other hopeless romantics such as Blair got together and immigrated to Appaloosa Plains and get themselves acquainted with Antigone, since Achaia and the others did not know Antigone personally since Antigone was rather kept well in the chapel before the foundation of Hekatonschoinos.

Plato-Patriarchist alliance and the Populist-Romantic alliance
Soon, Achaia achieved the first part of her goal: Achaia got herself aligned with Antigone's full-fledged heresy, and Kallisto cried anathema. However, Kallisto believed that an direct inquisition would do the church more harm than good, and decided to look for a 3rd party that is dissatisfied and eager for the job. Justine Keaton might be willing to take on Achaia, but Kallisto knew that Keaton will consider it only a secondary priority and Kallisto couldn't have that. Meanwhile, Lysistrata gave a transmission to Kallisto about the Al-Husna and her newfound coworker Ayham Bahri. Al-Husna were staunch patriarchists, and Kallisto decided that Al-Husna's discontent with the female-dominated Sunset Valley and the Church could be better directed elsewhere, as Al-Husna was all for arranged marriaged and romance was frowned upon when it conflicts with the familial goals. Hence Kallisto decided that a diplomatic sleight could be used to get Al-Husna to rail against the heretics in Appaloosa Plains.

The Third Timeline
One day, Kallisto decided to time travel to acquite some more valuable tomes for the Church, and accidently entered into what would be the Third timeline with Hekatonschoinos as a landmass intact. The Third Timeline was rather dystopian: Hekatonschoinos was essentially a battleground between the 3 East Asian factions, the Korean Alliance for Prosperity, the Great Japanese League, and the Chinese Greater Good Unity of People, each faction struggling to achieve hegemony of Hekatonschoinos. Each faction was led by a main family and subordinate families, all working for their own faction and preferring to stick to their own kind, and only a minority making any friendship outside of the ethnic barrier. The Combat Butlers and Rich Girls family was still there, serving as the main family for the Japanese faction, which exerted control over the Taxila/India Islet and the Lower Nome, while struggling against the Koreans for the control of the Asklepeion and the Stadion.

The Chinese on the other hand centered around the former Klerouchiai, having a solid grip on its assets, including its large grocery complex and the Science center. They also have claims over the Military islet and the Governance islet, and as such they had upper hand when it came to government. Koreans on the other hand centered around the Cradle of the Faithful, and as such had uncontested access to many of Hekatonschoinos' cultural assets, including the Palaistra, the Palace, and the Nectary (Emporion Nektaros). They also exerted control over the western side of the Commercial island, and struggled against the Japanese to take the southern jut of the said islet, since the souther jut was quite profitable due to it housing not only the formerly Attalid mansion but also the Asklepeion and the Stadion. The former Klerouchiai family, the Kang family, was the head of the Korean faction, although the family was now in its 3rd generation.

However, it wasn't always like that: before the real estate purchases (the indirect source of conflict due to fears of ethnic favoritism) began, the ethnic communities stayed relatively neutral to each other, with foreigners living alongside the 3 groups making friends outside the turfs: Herakleitos, who is a caretaker in the Japanese main house, has many friends outside of the faction of his employers: Herakleitos was especially pleased with the Philhellenic Eun Jin Choi, who later on became a critical character when Kallisto's mainly Greek factions made pushes towards their timeline. However, Kallisto's real push was on the fringe of the East Asian conflict, the Sunset Valley where unmotivated and incompetent families of the factions simply squander resources in partying or loafing around rather than grabbing assets and countering one another, much less shipping funds to their homefront in Hekatonschoinos. In Sunset Valley Kallisto deployed a clone offered by and created from Kallistrata named Arete Hekatonschoinika to establish the frontier and turn it into a recruiting neighborhood for Church operations back at Kallisto's timeline, conveniently connecting back to Kallisto's timeline by building the time machine.

Notes, Footnotes and Trivia

 * The current leaderboard was created from data taken from the World saved in December 17th.
 * Caesar had a zero bladder motive at one time.
 * Leighton Sekemoto was a vampire on both timelines, and hence one of the few to survive at the end of the first timeline.
 * Strangely enough, Thornton Wolff has 7 points in Invention and Charisma respectively, even when Kallistrata only offered up to 5 levels in invention, and none on Charisma.
 * Because Late Night wasn't installed when Olympias and Thetis was there, Olympias and Thetis had different zodiac symbols. It was corrected with Generations via testingcheatsenabled cheat.
 * The Attalids in the first time warp and the second time warp had different zodiac symbols: Even then Olympias and Thetis STILL had different zodiac signs, despite being twins.
 * There are two sims who has a trait change as necessitated by the story: Eumenes Attalides, who gains the bookworm trait as an allusion to him expanding the Library of Pergamon and Thessalonike, who replaces the No Sense of Humor with the Rebellious trait catalyzed by her reputation as a cheater in romantic relationships.
 * None of the female characters in the Attalid or the Alkmaionid family has any relations to any historical figures in the respective families. There was a Stratonike of Pergamon, but that historical figure is not related to the Stratonike here whatsoever. This is repeated throughout related pages, although most people don't really delve into these things.
