Foundation Age

The Foundation Age is one of the five periods of history defined in human scholastic tradition, such as that of The Esteemed University for the Pursuit of Multidisciplinary Knowledge, Scholarly Excellence, and Advanced Intellectual Endeavors in Cliffgarden. The Foundation Age is defined as the time between the adoption of writing on the continents of Osthas and Oranil to the rise of the great empires who leveraged alliances with powerful Planars to achieve unprecedented power and stability, which typically occupies the years from 2746 BG to 774 BG.
