    Mount Stalagos Erupts
    Geological / environmental event

    Mount Stalagos erupted, covering a large swath of the land in a volcanic ash, containing heavy amounts of carbon dioxide for upwards of 25 minutes, which probably led to death from asphyxiation.

No mention or record of natural volcanic activity has been recorded from the mountain since the region was first re-settled. The remains of over 3,500 people have been found at Mons Fluvius and Darió so far, although the total death toll from the eruption remains unknown.

Ancient Era

-3225 A.E. ...-521 A.E.

Ancient history is the aggregate of past events from the beginning of writing and recorded human history and extending as far as late antiquity. The phrase may be used either to refer to the period of time or the academic discipline. The academic study of ancient history can be either scientific (archaeology, with the examination of physical evidence) or humanistic (the study of history through texts, poetry, and linguistics).   The span of recorded history is roughly 4,000 years, with the oldest coherent texts from about -3600 Dryadalis. Ancient history covers all continents inhabited by humans and dwarves. It covers the first humans arriving on Adlak, the first human and dwarven cities begin to form, and the first wars are waged. In this time the gods are also forced to walk the world by the Trio of the Dead, as well as the invasion of the first demons known as blathspawn. This era covers the begining of the bronze age.
