Timeline

This is the timeline for the different eras through which the world has passed.

Creation
In the beginning was only the Creator. He made the land, and he made the Four gods - Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. He also made the immortal Demons to shape the world with his remaining power.

The Four each went their own ways, and each made a race. Water made the Mira, Fire the Orcs , Earth the Dwarves , and Air the Humans.

Between them feuds arose however - Fire fought with Water, and Earth with Air. The peaceful pairs of gods instead grouped together, and made a further four races. Trolls, of Water and Earth; Ogres , of Earth and Fire; Drow , of Fire and Air; and Elves , of Fire and Water.

Other creatures were made by the Demons, but none ever reached the heights of the Eight races.

The Dark Ages
The world was not designed as a whole - the Eight fought for survival against the world around them, and against each other. As they spread further, they only encountered more terrors. many fought and died, and the old were rare.

The Heroic Age
From the shadows of the Dark Ages, rose those wanting peace. They drafted together against the darkness, a great number of fearless adventurers. Many perished, but for every one that fell two more were inspired to take their place. Gradually, the darkness was pushed back, until it was only glimpsed at the edges of civilization, and even then only rarely.

The Golden Age
After the Heroic Age followed a thousand years of peace. Monsters and Demons faded into legend, and the four began to be forgotten. Central City was founded, a beacon for peace and hope, and with it came a new era.

The Recession
'That is not dead which can eternal lie.....'
