Timeline

This is a brief timeline of the world...

The Old World

 * Time before the discovery of Magic. It was a world of gears and springs. A world powered by steam, wind and fire. It held many secrets which are now lost.

The Golden Times

 * A time of miracles and wonder. Magic was new and young. Mankind blossomed. There was food and luxury for all. Great cities rose across the face of the world. There was no need for war or conquest. For the first time in history, man was truly at peace.

The Fall

 * As people drew mana from the world, it became harder and harder to harness the resource. Everyone could no longer have whatever they wanted. The creations of magic and the fruits of human labor took on meaning again. Mages searched and sought for new and better ways to steal the life blood of the earth. It was in this age that the first human ascended and became a God. Many were unwilling to give up the life they had enjoyed during the golden age. Magic was turned into a weapon by those who wanted to take these fruits for themselves.

The War Without End

 * Some say the War Without End is the same as the Fall, others say they were two different conflicts. As magic grew weaker, many cities began to once again employ conventional military forces. Much of the technology from the Old World was lost and some no longer functioned, so the tools they employed were cruder then in the ages of old. As time passed more cities turned their resources to the manufacture of the tools of war. For over a thousand years, war constantly raged across the world. It was in this age that the Magical Creatures began to appear.

The Great Death

 * As the War Without End raged, the magic of the world grew weaker and weaker until the land could no longer produce enough food to feed the great armies. The Forests withered and died. Grass lands turned to desert. Great rivers dried up. The wind stopped blowing. The sea stopped turning. The days grew hotter and the nights colder. Cities crumbled, nations fell, and only a few obscure villages managed to survive.

The End Days

 * Today. The magic of the world is dying. The great beasts are extinct. Man kind holds on by a hair. With resources so tight and people so desperate, old conflicts have resurfaced and chaos threatens to consume the remains of this dying world.
