View source for Shireroth Standardized History Initiative Team

The
Shireroth Standardized History Initiative Team is responsible for
codifying the [[Fictional History]] of [[Shireroth]]. SSHIT was founded
and is still run by [[Erik Mortis]] and [[Shyriath|Shyriath Bukolos]].

The Tarjeisson Trust is currently sponsoring an ongoing effort to correct this body of work to fit within the chronology of the Norton Calendar.

== Current Projects ==
=== Ages of Shireroth ===
The centerpiece of SSHIT's work is the massive compilation ''The Ages of Shireroth'', which has been built up into a multi-volume work over the course of SSHIT's labors. ''The Ages of Shireroth'' is essentially a distillation of the Fictional History, an overarching document meant to summarize events and provide a framework within which to create other fictional material. It is the meant to be the official" work of history.
The project was developed in concurrence with ''The Ages of Shireroth'' is the [[Timeline of Shirerithian History]], formerly based on the now heretical [[ASC]] calendar. This lists brief summaries of important fictional events by year, for both ''The Ages of Shireroth'' and other works, and is also "official" in the sense of being part of the framework for other works.

*[[Ages of Shireroth: Volume Two]]: ''Beyond Old Shireroth: Yardistan During the Khaz Modanian Age''<br>
*[[Ages of Shireroth: Volume Three]]: ''Building of a Nation''<br>

===Other works===
[[Tales From the Khaz Modan]] is a series of stories by Shyriath Bukolos, only one of which has actually been produced, dealing with various events in the old [[Empire of Khaz Modan]] that preceded the formation of Shireroth.

Erik Mortis' work on the [[Hariolus War]] and [[Talru Sorto]] covers the pre-Khaz Modanian period, going right up to the edge of the prehistory of the Benacian continent. However, Shyriath stupidly failed to get a copy of the works before the [[EzBoard Attack]], and keeps forgetting to contact him and ask him if he still has everything, so that SSHIT is unable to make the work public again at this time.

SSHIT Director Shyriath Bukolos also allowed the creation of a task force consisting of [[Bill Trihus]] to research the real-life history of [[Kildare]], with the likely intent of fictionalizing it and incorporating it into the official history works, though this never came to fruition.

== Purview ==
SSHIT works to create a fictional history for Shireroth itself and its
predecessor states, from prehistory until at least the end of the
[[Second Era]]. It is unclear at this point if SSHIT will eventually
extend its mandate into the [[Third Era]], which represents the
timespan in which Shireroth has actually existed; it has been suggested
that real-life events could not be fictionalized in a manner that both
makes sense and managed not to horribly offend someone. On the other
hand, describing the pre-Shirerithian history of Kildare (which
Shyriath has always intended to do) will almost necessitate Third Era
work, unless Kildari fictional history is dramatically altered.
Although SSHIT focuses primarily on Shirerithian history, it is eager
to make connections with the fictional histories of other micronations
where this proves convenient and workable.
