The Third Cycle

So much has been lost, it is time to rebuild.

As the dragons began to once again take over the lands it would be the rise of the heroes to put them back in place. And as people felt safe enough to explore again, they were hit by war. Many wars took place and things were constantly changing.

The Third Cycle

 
Pre-Common Era
  The Age of Heroes (and the Second Rise of Immortals). This is the Era where more records are kept and some history may be known by people. Mostly in large cities and scholarly circles, but it is the "ancient history" for this world analogous to our ancient history. The Era ends in great wars that would Lead to the somewhat "peaceful" era of the Common Era.   Now came the time where the Dragon gods and the misplaced gods felt they needed to raise up their heroes. In each culture they found a few heroes, some who join the ranks of immortals. Some of these immortals found ways to escape this universe and others were “eaten” by D’erletztesøhn to feed his needs to come back   Many of the dragons not slain nor in slumber either moved to the Broken Isles and others left the planet to form a forth planet. They tired of the heroes who came to conquer them and Giae was grateful for them leave and so helped grant the necessary magics to create the fourth planet.   The planet that was formed was a big deal in many cultures and led to many myths and other events. As the heroes and immortals rose to great prominence many different societies were formed in different regions and pockets.   This led to   The Age of Exploration. The Age of Exploration is how many of the modern societies began, but it led to   The Age of War. Many wars raged and great kingdoms rose and fell until a Romanesque kingdom began to spread. They allowed other cultures to retain their cultures and all they sought were taxes.   This helped spread the Common Tongue, even though many retained their local dialects. In some regions there sprouted mixed languages, but this allows someone who speaks only Common to have a good chance in conversing with people in almost any region. Almost any.   This mixing of cultures however led to some of the gods taking and collecting different species which they hid inside Hollow Erde.   As The Age of War settled and most cultures were complacent in the taxes, but benefiting off the peace and ability to better study things this led to the Common Era.

Common Era
  The Enlightenment. More than the previous generation this is the most likely known events. It comes after the great wars and leads to the current make-up of the world. Different cultures and societies. Some non-races intermingle with the Human populations, but many of them stick to their own niche. Most of the monsters live on their continents. There are some pockets of places untouched -- such as The Ice Age region which has mostly been untouched since the days of the original ice age.   The period where magic became more concrete as it stands today, it led to the language, coinage and other features one expects in such a setting.   Then the Great Kingdom had turmoil and taxes were raised with a new dictator who sought for world dominion. This led to   The Rebellion. This is where many cultures wanted their independence and as the world war raged they finally brought down the Great Kingdom. All of the regions found their own autonomy and the Great Kingdom lived on in it’s own portion, no longer in control of other cultures. This led to

Current Situation

  Many regions are settled in their ways and with no concern of who is in charge. As long as the economy is going and the monster attacks are abated they are satisfied to let things be. In other regions there are those who are seeking power. Various kingdoms and regions have found their own freedom and has seen to them finding their own way and setting the stage for various coups. It is a time of loose stability.    
  It used to be... A world with humans spreading out exploring everywhere. Then stopped by monsters.   and now it's... a world where the civilized are starting to find their way again.
