Overview of Guatamela Clan History Through September 1999

10th Century

The Mayan Sun Amulet is created.   The sun amulet allows the Gargoyles who wear one of 4 pendants to avoid turning to stone by day.

1993

The Pyramid for the Guatamela Clan was raided.   All the members of the clan but Zafiro, Obsidiana, Jade, Turquesa, and Oro were killed during the raid.   The Mayan Sun Amulet was removed.   Fortunately, none of the eggs were destroyed.   Oro disappears.

Between January 22 and July 9, 1996

By this time, the Mayan Sun Amulet had found its way to a musuem in NYC.   Zafiro, Obsidiana, Jade, and Turquesa still guard the Pyramid and the forest surrounding the pyramid.   Goliath, Elisa, Angela, and Bronx arrive in Guatamela and meet the clan there.   Cyberbiotics hires Jackal and Hyena to remove the Gargoyle problem from the forest so that Cyberbiotics can do work there.   However, Preston Vogel has a change of heart and decides Cyberbiotics needs to cease its rainforest operations.   Jade and Turquesa take plant samples to transplant to Avalon so to preserve the the plants.   The Manhattan clan takes possession of the Mayan Sun Amulet after Hyena steals it from a museum.

sometime in 1997

Oro leaves the Guatemalan rain forest to journey to America.

April 29-30, 1999

Huitzilopochtli (an Unseelie) and his followers attacked the Guatamela Clan and the pyramid.   The pyramid was leveled, but the eggs weren't damaged. Zafiro wasn't badly injured, but Obsidiana was badly injured so Zafiro removed her pendant to help her recover through stone sleep.   She was near the point of death when the sun came up.

Early June 1999

Zafiro is transported to NYC for medical care. Obsidiana, assumed to be dead, was transported along with Zafiro. Obsidiana finally wakes up from stone sleep, but in desparate need of care.   She spends the next few days being treated by Xanatos.   Oro arrives in NYC and reunites with the rest of his clan.   Assumedly after Obsidiana gets much better, Oro, Zafiro, and Obsidiana head back to Guatamela.   The Mayan Sun Amulet is returned to the Guatamela clan.

Between early June and the 1st week of September 1999
