This is the time believed to have been when the world was created
This timeline shows major events that have happened through the world's history
The time before/during the Great Cataclysm
This was the time where the finishing touches of The World were put into place, primarily the Spirit of Nature creating life to inhabit the dimensions.
At this time, it is said the Great Spirits worked together to create a sapient species, combining all their attributes, they created the Dragons, who spread around the world, claiming it as theirs.
After the Arcanite War, the Dragons left the Overworld for the Aether, and the Arcanites fled to the Nether, while the remaining Children of the Storm fell into a hibernation, leaving the Overworld empty of sapient species.
A short time where no sapient species inhabited the Overworld. The Spirit of Nature helped nature recover from the extreme amounts of magic used during the war.
It is said that during the Time of Quiet, the Great Spirits of Heavens and Nature worked together to make a new sapient species. Rather than making a completely new creature, they took an existing one: the pig. The Spirit of Nature changed its body to become humanoid, and the Spirit of the Heavens changed its soul to be that of a sapient being.
The underclass of Humans and other humanoids oppressed by the Pigman race rebel against their masters, and soon a full scale societal war erupts. Compromises attempt to be made, but underlying tensions result in the Pigmen being cast out from the Overworld and into the Nether.
At the end of the Human-Pigmen wars, the surviving pigmen were driven into the Nether, and the remaining humans scattered the world.
The Fallen Age was where society fell from what is now called the Late High Age. After the great war that ended the Late High Age, much information of the magitech used in that time was lost, but the magitech itself remained. Corrupt rulers sought control over these devices, some of which held massive destructive potential.
The Fallen Age was on the road to recovery after the devastating effects of the end of the Late High Age. However, the recovery was cut short by the beginning of the Great Cataclysm, and the general collapse of larger society.
The Great Cataclysm changed the face of the world. No society escaped unscathed, and all major civilizations were wiped out. Few people lived through it, most of those have died since.
