Overview
"BM" is the designation most cultures on
Mernac give to the time before
Man or any of the
Races were created.
The term "Before Man" was origionally meant to literally be: Before
Barak and the other
Gods sacrifed a part of themselves to create the
Race of Man. This is still the designation used in written dates and calendars.
The
Birth of Man literally occured at dawn:
on the first day,
of the first month,
of the first season.
(Bella 1st in the Season 0).
Man was created in Season 0.
In written texts, anything that occured before this point, is given the designation "
BM" or
"Before Man".
Anything that has, or that will, occur after this point, is given the designation ""
AM" or
"After Man."
BM - Common Usage
However, the term "Before Man" has now taken on a more figerative meaning when used in conversation or speech. Most consider "
Before Man" to be the time before the
Fathers were cast our of the
Heavens and the
Mothers were forbidden to roam
Mernac in the chronological year 666 AM.
For it was then, that the "Gods Ages" began.
It is well known that each of the Gods have their own "Age" or "God Age," a period of time that they, and the Race they are patron of, somewhat control and influence all of what happens on Mernac.
Each of all the Ages in Mernac's history is overseen by a God except for "Before Man" - that time before the advent of the written word where many tales and knowledge could have been lost.
To Remedy this
The One had
Siberlee Commission
Onas Brushstoke, Kalos, The Fire Dragon, and the leader of the Fae's,
Sara Dragonmist to write
The One Book to record that time and to become a repository of all the knowledge the
Gods.
