Mythic Era

1 3300

The mythical era is the time period where many of the tribes pin the start of their first civilizations. It is from this time period that the oldest beliefs, customs and rituals originate.   The Era is marked by small tribal societies of hunter gatherers with a semi-nomadic lifestyle that centralizes around the idea of times of growth and famine. Most tribes are no more than 20 people and have limited interaction with other tribes due to the incredibly harsh terrain that works as natural borders to their roaming. They also have limited to no contact with civilizations outside of the islands due to the rough and reef-filled seas that surround the island, as well as the violent coastal storms.   Religion and magic mix in this age. Seen as scions of the worlds power, individuals who could channel the magics of the realms and the spirits shaped the world around them, creating the basis for Tatsukojima in both the spiritual and real sense. And though there was no formal training outside of the wise people of the various tribes, there were shared rituals and wisdoms among them. This indicates that somehow they were communicating across vast distances.

The Dragons Ascent

4003 4313

This era was marked by a slow decline in Federation as trade between clans broke down. This is due largely in part to plagues and resulting disruption of trade. This led to decreased quality of life for many of the  individual clans. This in turn lead to raiding and a slow erosion of the pacts between the clans.     While illness had always been a factor, the trade routes and closer quarters living of the clans exacerbated a particularly nasty disease. This caused untold death and shook the people's belief in their way of life, causing a shift that opened the doors to a new way of life.    Religiously the increase in turbulence caused many to began to try to find new spirits to pledge to. This lead to an increase in turning to summoning stronger and stronger spirits in attempts to fend off the illness. It was only when two dragons appeared on the island and subsequently allied with the scaled clan that things changed.
