Verden Global History

Life has evolved to millions of complex species across the planet, much of the world's geography is yet to resemble current Verden

Many of the Spirits that are referred to as Elders in the current day see their birth during this time, such as the Rooted Monarch and Brass Wraith. Less famous but no less formidable Spirits born during this time include the Fire Thief, Root-serpent and the members of the Pantheon of Olympus.

The Giants conclude the construction of the giant structure known as Verdeskronnen, using it as a base of operations and residence.

Giants vanish from the world, the cause is unknown but the effects are keenly felt as their structures become empty and their designs for Verden remain forever unfinished.

In the wake of the vanishing Giants, the peoples of the world including Hellions, Spirits and the recently sentient Crafted Races band together and wage a desperate war of survival against those afflicted with the Mechanized Plague, resulting in centuries of tough struggle against the mechanical menace.

The conclusion of the War on Steel. This titanic conflict resulted in grievous losses for both sides, but victory was achieved on the Mechanized Plague by causing the central intelligence in control of all the infected, known as the Monomind, to divide into many and competing entities, brining a level of infighting to the Mechanized that ensured they would not destroy all life on Verden.

The Islands of Albion, Amazonia and Yamato had no known connection, given the vast gulfs in distance between them. Yet at some point all vanished without a trace, independent testimonies of sailors were initally chalked up as tall tales, but the pattern of all three being enveloped by colorful storms has lead fringe circles of scholars to link these events in conspiracies among the supernatural. Many people today see the Missing Islands as the ravings of madmen or the talking points of eccentrics and conmen.
