A Short Timeline of History
Ancient Age:
AA, Starts from before recorded history up until 10,000 AA. Much history from these times is vague, questionable or downright unknown. It is known however that it includes the evolution and creation of all living things when 'The First Beginning' took place. It is a fairly well known story how the Rise of the Legions of Chaos brought the world to a state of near destruction- until the start of the Age of Arcane Enlightenment.
Age of Arcane Enlightenment:
AAE, or the Age of Mordenkainen (AoM) starts after 10,000 AA, the year when it is told in legend that Mordenkainen struck down the Legions of Chaos with his Circle of Eight, thus forging a new world order based on a loosely democratic Mageocracy. This continued until a certain Mage known as Ranenvolk had turned the Great Circle of Sages into a Tyrannically run Dictatorship in a quest to bring the world into his hands. The Legends are the fairy tales of the Modern Age, and beyond. It was around this time when the Elves and the Orcs had gone to full blown war, leaving themselves open to Ranenvolk and his legions. This era lasted a good 5000 years, Ranenvolk's ascent happened approximately 4727 AAE.
The Age of Separation:
AoS, happened at the turn of the age, at approximately 5000 AAE, the War of the Ravaged brought the conflict between the Elves and Orcs to a full blown cataclysm. Thus the Age of Separation occurred. The majority of races who tired of war came to an agreement that they'd travel the Astral plane to find separate worlds for their people, so their Gods could not force them into conflict ever again. Those who remained, the blood thirsty and the zealous, fought to the last man, and it was just about the end of both races on New Terra, or from it was once called, just Terra. The AoS lasted 578 years, marked by the Great Exodus on the final day.
The Age of Scientific Enlightenment, Common Era
ASE, or, CE: It's been about 3417 Years since the Age of Separation, and Terra has gone through a multitude of fast acting and powerful changes. Eyes went away from ancient magicks of old and focused on the application of their energies for new purposes. Now New Terra, as it has been dubbed since the creation of the Pangalactic Federation of Civilized Planets, is a center for traffic between the nearer star systems. Though not the most advanced out of them all, it is in the leading top 5 in the PFCP, and with it's new age ideology their main objective is to continue the peace of their citizens all the while maintaining a stable and fair type of government. It is believed that all life is sacred and should be given a chance.
