The Timeline

[Captain Snyder]

It is unknown exactly how the universe was created, though most consider that Edes, the original and first god to come into being, is either responsible for creating it, or was a by-product of it being created.

For over a thousand millenniums, Edes spread throughout the universe, creating stars and planets alike. Eventually, Edes created another entity like himself, which embodied the spirits of both life and death. This entity eventually split into three beings, known as Axbus, Koros, and Itas. The god of Arcane, the God of Death, and the Goddess of Life.

The first few lifeforms created by Itas are known as the 'Ancient Ones'. The first Ancient One to be created was Ireus, God of Earth, soon followed by Serena, Goddess of Water. Together, they shaped the earth into what it appears as, today. These two ancients eventually met, and their firstborn was Utix, Goddess of Nature. As she begun to cover the globe with forests and other plants, Kasai was born next. The sisters often fought eachother, leading to many great fires. Osdar was eventually born, and was able to make peace between the two sisters.

With the world now seeded with life, the first humanoid shaped lifeforms begin to take place.

The first civilization to rise to power were known simply as the Veteri. The Veteri had a powerful connection to magic, and as such, it was essential to their culture & society. It is believed that a catastrophic magical event ended up wiping the Veteri off of the face of earth. As centuries passed, and the Earth was able to support larger civilizations again, the common races begun to prop up around the world. This marks the end of the Ancient Era, and the beginning of the Contemporary Era.

The Contemporary Era starts off at Year 0. In Year 0, the common races had established cities across their lands, and the world had been settled or otherwise mostly explored. Our time line begins here.
