TELREC: Time Line Reconstructionists. Ultimate authority on Novan. Created in the cas 850 and originally called TL Reconstructs, their mission was to establish a strategy to achieve the goals set out in the lost book of the Grechtchlen, called the Diad-nhuld. The Diad-nhuld outlined the destiny of the Novan people, how they were to progress to the next stage of evolution. The Diad-nhuld was a timeline of the future, which supposedly was a blueprint for achieving the birth of the Cuhli-pra. The Diad-nhuld which was lost in the cas twenty-five. The Cuhli-pra was described to be a catalyst for that evolution. To achieve this evolutionary development, the TELREC set about building the most advanced artificial intelligence ever seen. Their creation, Mal, conceived of a solution to achieve the birth of the Cuhli-pra, relying on a theory of chaos based on the system of chronicling.

  The TELREC took their first steps to ultimate governance of Novan after they instituted the chronicling system in 1100, shortly after the creation of Mal. The creation of the cast-net, and the myriad of pleasure channels therein, softened the public’s resistance to their rule. Over the millennia, though there were many attempts to overthrow them, mostly from Rell and the many terrorist groups culminating with the Iganinagi, the public accepted TELREC rule, as the only thing asked of them was the daily chronicle.
