Age of Stone

Date Unknown - The Dwarven race is created. Their creation myths state that the Dwarves were born in the deep caverns from the Earth Mother’s womb. The world is still forming when the Dwarves are created, and they spread throughout the world through underground tunnels.​

Date Unknown - The Dwarves master the Earthen Tongue, the Earth Mother’s primordial and divine language, which is written in runic. They use the magic of the Earthen Tongue to build fortresses and cities deep within the earth. ​

Date Unknown - The spoken form of the Earthern Tongue is eventually forgotten. The common Dwarven language is derived from the Earthen Tongue.​

Date Unknown - The Dwarven population of Enarion grows and begins to spread across the surface of the continent.​

Date Unknown - As each Hold grows more isolated and independent, unity between the Holds of Enarion suffers and rivalries emerge.​

Date Unknown - Upon the death of the last Underking, the royal clan is split as each of his sons takes control of their own hold and enters into a bloody feud.​

Date Unknown - The grudges between the branches of the fractured royal clan grow stronger with each generation.​

Date Unknown - Younger clans take advantage of the lack of central authority to stake out their own claims and found new mountain holds, leading to an era of expansion.

Age of Myth

0 A.L. - The first Elven expedition to Enarion makes landfall along the southern coast and begins Elven colonization of the continent. The leader of this expedition, Aenlorethier, is crowned king by the Elder Council of the First Elven Kingdom.​

1 A.L. - Young Dwarven mountain holds in the south of Enarion make contact with the Elves. Relations between the Elven settlers and Dwarven holds are initially cordial, with the surface of the southern lands still wilderness and open for Elven settlement. The Great Holds of the north are too preoccupied with their feuds to pay the Elves any mind.​

0 A.L. - 300 A.L. - The Elves are masters of magic and deal with the local spirits regularly. Their magic, technology, and deals made with spirits enable them to quickly erect many cities and temples across southern Enarion. After a few generations, most of the south is ruled by Elves. The western grasslands remain unsettled.​

410 A.L. - With little territory left for settlement in their traditional homeland, the Elves turn their attention towards conquering the local Dwarven mountain holds. The Dwarven holds of the south petition the Great Holds for support against Elven encroachment, but are ignored as the Great Holds have no resources to spare from their feuds.​

471 A.L. - The final Dwarven hold in the south falls to the Elves, who now rule all of south-eastern Enarion.​

500 A.L. - 700 A.L. - The Elven Kingdom turns its attention towards settling the wild western grasslands, beginning a period of peace and colonization that lasts several centuries.​

703 A.L. - A human fleet lands on Ynslee, a large island off the coast of western Enarion. These Humans lack knowledge of magic and how to use the runes, and live at this time as a semi-nomadic tribe.​

706 A.L. - The Elves take pity on the sorry state of the Human colony and offer to teach the Humans various forms of magic and technology in return for their servitude and vassalage. The Humans agree to the deal.​

708 A.L. - The alliance between Elves and Humans sends ripples through Dwarven society. The Great Holds fear the two races will seek to expand into their lands and agree to put an end to the Great Feud in favor of an agreement of mutual defense.​

710 A.L. - 760 A.L. - The Human population grows quickly with the aid of the Elves, and they found several more settlements along the coasts of Enarion with the approval of their overlords. During this period, several other smaller expeditions of Humans journey to Enarion and join the Human population.​

Age of Chaos

767 A.L. - 788 A.L. - War breaks out between the Humans and Elves. After a lengthy period of fighting, the Elven King is killed in battle and the two races make peace. The Elven Kingdom agrees to recognize the independence of the Humans.​

770 - 790 A.L. - The Dwarves begin to fracture once again and resume their grudges and feuds after seeing the alliance between Men and Elves fail. But the feuding never returns to the level of the Great Feud.​

790 - 800 A.L. - The death of the Elven King sends the Elven Kingdom into a succession crisis. Every King had been directly descended from Aenlorethier until this point and the final King died with no heirs. The Elder Council cannot not agree on an heir as various nobles all try to claim the throne. The Elven Kingdom descends into squabbling and infighting and breaks apart into many petty states.​

800 A.L. - 1000 A.L. - The following two centuries are marked by continued Human territorial expansion as they conquer the isolated western lands from the remnant Elven kingdoms. Further Human expeditions arrive in the west and carve out their own kingdoms from both Elven and Human lands. The Elves remain fractured into many petty kingdoms and war amongst each other, as do the Dwarves.​

Age of Wonders

1000 A.L. - 1100 A.L. - Warring between the various Human, Elven, and Dwarven kingdoms tapers off. The modern kingdoms as of the Calamity and their borders solidify and relations begin to normalize between the races.​

1100 A.L. - 1300 A.L. - The next two centuries are marked by peace and prosperity. Wars between major kingdoms are infrequent, the population grows significantly, and magical artifacts and wonders become commonplace.​

1333 A.L. - The Calamity reaches Enarion’s shores. It encroaches on the continent from all sides, making its way across the landscape over the course of a few months and converging on Azure Keep. Areas affected by the Calamity experience all sorts of disasters, both magical and mundane. Most of the population perishes in the Calamity. The few who survive flee from the storm and congregate at Azure Keep. As the Calamity closes in on the castle, the few remaining mages decide to activate the experimental linths of Azure Keep and keep them open long enough for some refugees to escape through the portals.

Age of Silence

Date Unknown - Several generations and an unknown amount of time passes. Most knowledge of the Old World is lost during the escape and subsequent exile inside the portal realms.​

Date Unknown - Spirits, monsters, and the forces of nature reclaim the continent.
