Historical Eras

It is important to note that many of these eras overlap.

The Age of Slavery (??? – 14 BE)
The 21 homeworlds are enslaved by the Elder Gods.

The Age of Exodus (14 BE – current)
The Treaty Races are free from the rulership of the Elder Gods.

The Gods War (14 BE – 47 AF)
The Gods walk Abria and fight the Elder Gods. Vast armies are destroyed. Billions die on both sides. Thousands of fledgling Gods die during this period.

The Period of Ascension (14 BE -53 AF)
Mortals spontaneously ascend to Godhood. Estimates are that more than 5,000 Gods ascended and died during this era.
After 53 AF, mortals no longer ascended spontaneously. New Gods could still arise from the children of the Gods (known as Godlings) or from a mortal who consumed the essence of a God (generally by killing that God).

The Time of One Thousand Kings (67 – 228 AF)
Literally hundreds of nations rose and fall. Most of their names were lost to history.

The Magical Revolution (73 – 492 AF)
During this age, magical theory was advanced greatly. The modern wizards first appeared, and would eventually become the most common form of arcane spellcaster.
Many of the new spells developed during this time were what would become ‘common’ spells. Rare spells were those lost before this era (and later rediscovered), or those developed later when sharing of magical knowledge was less commonplace.

The Orc-Dwarf War (142 – 274 AF)
Long brutal war between dwarves and orcs over territory. Near the end of the war, the dwarves largely withdrew to Khaldain. Most of the tribal orcs would move southward, eventually passing beyond the Greyshadow Mountains.

The Darian Civil War (587 – 602 AF)
The war that split the nation of Darian into two separate nations. Many claim the war is still going on to this day, as Damroth and the Ipashian Empire have never actually been at peace.

The Dragon War (777 – 859 AF)
Armies of dragons destroy millions of humanoids. Many go into hiding, or withdraw into the largest of fortified cities.
Although dragon attacks were not constant, there was at least one attack every year, and in the worst periods one per week.
Prior to this era, dragons largely ignored humanoids, seeing them as beneath notice.

The Dwaven Civil War (859-902 AF)
The unpopular and largely incompetent Gavin Magnus Axewright IV’s decision not to join the Dragon War led to three of the twelve dwarven clans leaving Khaldain to go to join the war. Seeing that this decision made him immensely unpopular, he turned the returning heroes into traitors and denied them access to their former homes in Khaldain.
The Dwarven Civil War was exceptionally bloody. The returning clans were outnumbered nearly 30 to 1, but they were experienced veterans of the Dragon War and well armed with magical weaponry. Many in the nine clans choose to exile themselves rather than face their blameless brothers in bloody conflict, and so abandoned key locations to the three clans.
Those who chose exile rather than following a dishonorable king would eventually join the three clans by marriage or would die without issue.
Although brief in dwarven terms, this war would forever split the dwarven race in two.
