Tarion 11th - Urime 7th (-65,000 and Earlier)- Years of Lost Time
Nearly all records of this era were lost alongside the Elven and Dwarf kingdoms, and the slaughter of the dragon kind.
Narie 1st- Urime 21st (-53,000- -52,877,SR)- The Decent & The False War
The vile goddess Maerlithe tricks the dark elves into attacking their fellow elves, sparking a massive war amongst the elven kingdoms. Deceived by the dark elves, the moon elves turn on the sun elves for starting the conflict and the wood elves turned on the moon elves for the assassination of King Ilvern; therefore the dark elves and moon elves allied against the sun elves and the wood elves.
During the year of -44,900SR, the dark elves turned on their moon elf allies after the allied forces had decimated a massive sun elven army. In light of this betrayal it is discovered that the dark elves were responsible for the death of King Ilvern, the wood elves and sun elves grudgingly strike an alliance with the moon elves against the dark elves. For the next twenty-three years, the massive dark elven civilization was battered and thwarted repeatedly by the collective might of the three weaker elven kingdoms, and eventually the dark elven kingdom collapsed; forcing them to flee to the underground to avoid the wrath of the other elven kingdoms.
Unknown(-15,000,SR)- The Appearance
The Elves discover dozens of small primitive tribes of humans all over the world, and haven’t been able since this discovery to figure out where they came from.
Narvinye 1st (1,SR)- The Year of Civilization
The first ever human calendar and records of history are made. Vampirism appears in the world of Erumara.
Isilya 19th (5-25,SR)- The Years of Guidance
The Elves, Dragons, and Dwarves reveal their presence to the primitive tribes of humans, and carefully learn the various dialects of their languages to communicate with them. The Elder Races slowly teach the young species a fraction of their knowledge to gentle push the new race towards its own development culturally, industrially, mentally, and socially.
Ringare 1st - Edan 8th (300- 934,SR)- The Rise of the Dragonriders
The magae of the first human empire of Evellia on the continent of Erumara become incredibly arrogant and use their mastery of magic, which was first taught to them by the elves, to successfully enslave a large portion of the dragon population. With their powerful new steeds the Evellians eradicate the dragons they could not control before they could unite against humanity for enslaving their brethren. The elves and dwarves wept for the dragons that faced unnecessary slavery and death, but didn’t interfere because they believed that humanity would see the error of their ways and make amends for their mistake. Instead the Evellians turned on their tutors, friends, and protectors when the last free dragon fell. With heavy hearts the dwarves and elves battled their protégées, and soon found themselves fighting a force that outnumbered them a hundred to one. Around 923SR, the Elven Kingdoms were overrun by the larger human population forcing the elves to hide deep in the forests. Twenty-three years after the fall of the elven kingdoms, the dwarves were almost entirely eradicated except for a single secret city; a city that rumour has it is located somewhere deep inside Mount Adbyrron. When the Evellian’s had finally conquered the whole world, they were faced with a massive civil war.
Edan 8th - Ringare 2nd (953- 983,SR)- The End of Unity
When the kingdom of Evellia was at its peak, civil war broke out on all five continents. One by one rebel groups captured portions of each continent and started kingdoms of their own, and Evellia crumbled. Unbeknownst to humanity their serpentine pets were using the distraction of the wars to quietly and slowly break their bonds.
Anarya 19th -Tarion 23rd (993- 1033,SR)- The Harrowing Fall of the Dragonriders
Ten years after the end of the civil wars, the captive dragons that had survived the conflict suddenly cast aside their bonds and unleashed their wrath against crippled humanity. In a year the Vorshtaran Plains were reduced to ash, in seven all of Venusia was turned to dust. Kingdoms were burned to the ground over the following years, and what remained of humanity hid from the furious creatures. Much of the world was destroyed for the domain of humanity was vast at that time, except for the domains of the elves and dwarves. By 1007, the dragons believed that humanity had been humbled enough and retreated to pass into a long sleep under the direction of the last black dragon. Though some dragons refused to leave any humans alive, and stayed awake for years to continue harassing human villages and kingdoms; until they were eventually hunted down and slain by Dragonslayers.
ogoth 2nd - Isilya 7th (1034- 2040,SR)- The Years of Restoration
Humanity humbly requests the aid of the elves and dwarves to rebuild the crumbling world, grudgingly they agree. For the next thousand years the elves, dwarves and humans work side by side to restore the world of Erumara as best they can. For a thousand years humanity looked at the elves and dwarves with awe, respect, and envy; because when the dragons destroyed much of the world, humanities understanding of magic and other lore was lost, and the elves and dwarves were reluctant to share as freely as before. By the last ten years, Humanity outnumbered their long-lived sister civilizations and dominated the most land, and started to lose their respect for their sister civilizations.
Hisime 7th- Menelya 18th (2378- 2400,SR)- Vestiar‘s Ascension
Vestiar was once a mortal human magae, who had mastered what little magic the human race had slowly recovered over the Years of Restoration without any knowledge granted to them by the elves. Intrigued by his prowess, an elven magae whose name has been lost to time trained young Vestiar; carefully teaching the boy safer magics at first and then slowly started to teach him older elven secrets. Vestiar learned it all effortlessly and displayed an almost elf like personality. On his twenty-second birthday, Delfien the Elven god of magic appeared to Vestiar and offered the honourable and intelligent man godhood. Eager to teach humanity the proper use of the art, and to guide his people to a more peaceful way of life, Vestiar accepted and became the God of the Elements, Magic, and Magae of all racial descents. He is the second oldest human deity in the world today; behind Almeth’Lo and Ssthis’thor are both the eldest.
Unknown-Unknown (2350-2500,SR)- The Years of Divine Ascension
Over the course of these relatively peaceful centuries the human pantheon of gods and goddess came to power. It is unclear where they all came from since some reached divinity through the Elven, Dwarven, and Drow divine powers. While others reached divinity by locating the lost essence of ancient gods and goddesses. A few even simply just appeared in the world of Erumara and no one knows their origin.
Hisime 1st- Isilya 25th (2555- 2673,SR)- The Dominance War Nearly all of the new human kingdoms suddenly turned on their Elven and Dwarven allies. Over the next hundred and eighteen years, the new Elven and Dwarven Kingdoms were destroyed and the remnants of both civilizations went deep into hiding. To this day only the Elves have ever resurfaced after such a betrayal. Once the Elves and Dwarves were defeat the human kingdoms fell in chaotic warfare with each in an attempt to rule the known world.
Narvinye 3rd – Narvinye 25th (2703-2705,SR)- The Gift of Knowledge
The Master of Scholars, Amyralden dismayed by the wanton destruction caused by humanity declares that he and his mortal servants will no longer stand idly by while cultures and knowledge is destroyed once again. Amyralden soon appeared in Avatar form on the previously uninhabited island of Palipo, and with his faithful constructed a monolithic library-cathedral that was to be dedicated to the collection of all knowledge known to every race. Amyralden used a large portion of his divine soul to permanently enchant the structure so that it would forever withstand the passage of time and war. It became a prosperous location for refugees and for the faithful of Amyralden. The priesthood of Amyralden in later years constructed a large monastery nearby so they could better aid the refugees and to make room for their growing clergy.
Narvinye 1st (3600SR)- The Return
The Elves begin to interact with humanity once again, but keep their communities, population, magic, lore, art, and weapons in complete secrecy to prevent the humans from eradicating them. To this day the Elves still shelter themselves from humanity still not trusting them.
Edan 3rd - Isilya 4th (4,354- 4,355,SR)- The Blood War
The secret vampire covens form a coalition in order to launch a war against the mortal kingdoms in order to create their own. Despite their vast numbers the vampires were sorely beaten and hunted to near extinction by the mortal races.
Narvinye 12th- Tarion 25th (4,677- 4999,SR)- The Serpent-Chain War
The Serpent Queen Maerlithe, seeking to rule all of the Drow orders her priestesses to rally all of her devote Everdark cities together to eradicate the Everdark cities devote to the Chain-Lord Nevraeis. The war ended in a draw when it was realized that neither side was gaining any ground. The war ended with tens of thousands dead on both sides.
