====== Timeline of Third Era ====== ===== Before ===== The [[Magewars|Mage Wars]] marked the end of the [[Second Era]]. ===== Third Era ===== ==== 1st Periods ==== Since most civilizations were destroyed during the [[Magewars|Mage Wars]], this is a time of barbarism. Books and other forms of written records are lost. The island of [[Derimir]] is spared most of the ravages of the war, because of its guardians and lack of cities, so the locals live in their small communities. === Period of Moose === [[Noma]] is founded and becomes the only real town south of Skydome. The remaining settlements are but small villages, with the elven village of Helsin-gé being the second prominent feature. ==== 2nd Periods ==== Slowly some people start to rebuild civilisation. === Period of Beaver: 3rd Year === [[R'lyeh]] is founded and quickly gains prominence among the islands.\\ The [[Arcane Academy]] is founded on Derimir, being globally one of the first new magic academies that anyone dared to build after the Magewars. All of the early academies are built in remote places like that, as most people are suspicious of mages.\\ ==== 3rd Periods ==== === Period of Beaver === [[Skydome]] is rebuilt after being destroyed in the Magewars, but the dragons have turned isolationist. The eight tribes of dragons feel that many of the ills that happened to dragonkind in the Magewars could have been avoided if they had not interfered in the global powerplays. ==== 4th Periods ==== === Period of Wolf === First mention of [[Krao]].\\ Strong pirate raids start to affect life on Derimir. === Period of Destruction === Great evil forces descend on the island of Derimir and the surrounding islands. The last guardians are all killed by the evil forces.\\ 1st Year: [[R’lyeh]] is placed in a timelock.\\ 2nd Year: Razing of Noma leaves the town a shell of its former self, it has not regained its prominence since.\\ 3rd Year: The Arcane Academy on Derimir evacuates, closing the planar link to Derimir and opening it on Fegee, a small atoll in middle of nowhere.\\ 5th Year: The razing of the wood-elven village of Helsin-gé (in what is now known as the [[Greywoods]]) and Castle [[Danara]] cause the previously thriving elven population to become scattered.\\ ==== 5th Periods ==== === Period of Deer=== First mention of the [[storm|Storm Goddess]]. === Period of Beaver === The City of [[Cerea]] is founded and quickly gains prominence in the area because of the destruction and due to the lack of other powers. Cerea becomes the largest pirate base in the whole ocean. The city is founded on the ruins of a previous fishing village that existed in that place.\\ The island of [[Derimir]] starts to be called Cerea quite quickly. ==== 6th Periods ==== === Period of Lion === First mention of [[Ra]]\\ Following the death of the original pirates, the city of Cerea becomes a trade port.\\ === Period of Moose === The few houses at the crossroads start to be called [[Vesper]], when the Vesper Inn is opened.\\ ==== 7th Periods ==== === Period of Beaver: 11th Year === [[Naye Bay]] is founded. === Period of Bear: 6th Year === The town of [[Dyoa]] is founded in middle of the northern wilderness. === Period of Moose === 5th Year: The [[Arcane Academy]] returns to Cerea.\\ 11th Year: [[Bushburrow]] restablishes links to the rest of the island, having isolated themselves in the catalysmic events at end of 4th period. === Period of Wolf === Increasing tensions between many parties are incited by unlife. === Period of Destruction: === The [[Unlife Wars]]. ===== Aftermath ===== After the Unlife wars ended the counting of periods started again with the [[Fourth era]].
