The civilizations that rose from the Phervian empire started the calendar from year 1 despite the rich history of the split continent. As more information was discovered about the past, it was split into eras of civilization.
First era
Known as the first era of history, while near nothing is known a few ruminant's remain. What is known is the major power was the Primordials. The first gods also come from this era.
Lost in time
Both
Zumil and The first lich are known to come from this time period. As is the
Sanctuary of the first ones and the twin temples of the
Father and
Dina in the lowlands
Forgotten past
The title is given to the time period one-hundred-thousand years before the slave revolts. While very little is known about this time period, bits and pieces have been worked out from what is known.
Seeds of life
Several species originate from this time period, including the Draconic races, Aven Species, Goblinoids, Dryads,
Elves, and several extinct species. Though non of these races seemed to have a distinct civilization at first, the Elves had started building their cities by the end of the era as had the Goblinoids established their tribes.
The
Ancient primal beasts also seem to come from this era, as do the Greatwyrms.
Relics of the past
Several structures still stand from this era, becoming the main source of information for it. These are
Wū Yāo Mén,
Outcast cave, and several other sage hideouts seem to have its roots in this era as well.
The
Azaria braziers were made in this era as was the recipe for the
Divine Elixir.
Scraps of Lore
Though various bits of information are scattered throughout the world bit and pieces of history have been recovered such as the
The Crystalline calendar. It is known for a large section of the time in this period, a race called the Vedalken ruled the majority of Undinia. It is thought that these beings were masters of arcane flesh sculpting and may have created the other races.
A few hundred years before the end of the era a cataclysm wiped the Vadalken as well as most of the history off the map. Due to a letter from
Draco the date of this is known to be in 147 of the Malgorith period and the area was an outpost of Vedal. It also saw the opening of the first temporal circle.
The still death and
The silent fury and drowned forsaken are from this period.
Ancient Era
Starting around one hundred thousand before the slave revolts, with the founding of
Drake Vil to twenty thousand years before, with the arrival of the Phervian, this era saw the rise and fall of the Draconic empire, Originally thought under Drake,
Sardia, and finally
Essyrri. In reality, it was under the joint rule of Draco and Saridia, then Essyrri.
Around 9000 years into this period, Draco sealed away Sardia, with the help of several of his children and
The wanderer. Opening the second temporal circle.
The Elvan Cities also became true city-states in their own right in this Era, as well as it was believed the arrival of the greatwyrms at various points, though it was discovered in the Fey age that all of them were born in the first two thousand years.
The Draconic cities were found in this period and trade with the Tieflings also opened up.
The stolen egg and
Lilsea, The mother of spiders is also set in this era.
Phervian Era
Starting with the Arrival of the Phervian, twenty thousand years before the slave revolts and lasting till year one The Phervian is also known by the title Dark Ages due to the small amount of writing and learning of non-Phervian that took place. This age saw the Elves and Dwarves retreat into their cities and a few sanctuaries pop up to protect those who escaped.
Eva and
Malkav were both born in this era and the
Crown of the White city was made.
Era of Ages
The current Era of Undinia is split into thousand-year intervals called ages. The ages are decided by a group of Sears at
Sepa academy, chosen from around the world. The name is often picked from events seen happening early in the age.
Rebel age
Saw the Slave revolts happen, the creation of the Shifter race, the collapse of the Phervian empire, and the start of the
Mire of lost souls. It was named for the widespread revolts that dominated the first century of the Age.
Devine age
The age was named after the ongoing crusades of the Empire of Akoom, the majority of the age being its expansion.
Blood age
The most ominous name seen, every Sear reportedly screamed it out at the same time and refused to say what they saw. It is assumed to be the rivers of blood caused by the
Demon Prophet in the first half of the second century. This age saw Essyrri try to restore the Draconic empire, the Akoomite's northern crusade and the Demon prophet and collapse of the Empire of Akoom.
Chroma age
Called so due to the increase in Chromatic Draconics, this age saw various groups trying to recover from the Empire's collapse as well as open warfare between Essyrri and
Jindrai
Fey age
Named after
Tatiana was called to be one of the sears to name the Age,
Raelgil Sepa just overrode the system. The first century and a half were dominated by the
Crisis of the Fey age. This also saw the closing of both temporal circles.
