History of Oryth
Estimated History
... 0
Before the Era of Ascension there was no official record of history. Events were instead passed down by stories, artistic renditions, and the musings of calligraphers. The Scholars have done their best to chronicle these events based on the research they could gather, but all events are subject to discrepency, illegitimacy, and bias. Therefore, they should be looked upon as myths and legends rather than written truth.

The Year of the Scholars
The Scholars of Oryth
Era beginning/endThe Scholars of Oryth, or simply "The Scholars" as they are known today, formed a world-wide organization with the sole purpose to chronicle the events of The Ascended and their rise to godhood. After the chronicling was completed, they continued chronicling all significant events that happened in Oryth. One member from each nation is selected to become one of The Scholars in order to create as unbias of a chronicling of history as possible. To be selected for such a prestigious role is one of the top and most recognized honors throughout the lands. They decide when a new era starts or begins and whether someone's name is significant enough to go down in history.
