  Brief History of Erce

Scholars divide the history of Erce into 3 Epochs:

The Epoch of Immortals, Theras' pre-history, before time

unravelled.

The Epoch of Myth, before the comin of man!ind and the

ma!in of the "reat Seal.

and the Epoch of Mortals, #hen humans became ascendant,

beinnin some $%%% years ao.

These are furthermore divided into &es to reflect the

dominant traits of those periods in time. Most scholars tend to

narro# their scope to the Third Epoch, the Epoch of Mortals,

and define history accordin to the &es of this ae.

Modern history bean #ith the foundin of ydecia over ()%%

years ao #hich ushered in the *ourth &e of the Third Epoch

- The &e of +iht.

This is the time of #hich scholars have a fairly accurate and

#hole picture of events. rior to this, !no#lede is more

scattered, mainly due to the Second Mae#ar #hich destroyed

the ancient #orld and ushered in the &e of ar!ness, #here

!no#lede of any !ind became an increasinly rarecommodity.

onetheless, here follo#s a brief overvie# of the "reat &es of

Erce up to the present as they #ould be !no#n to an common

ydecian historian:

The years are commonly oranied after the a#n &e

/alendar, #hen ydecia cro#ned its first !in and formed the

ominions of +a#. The years before ydecia's foundin are

01   20ld 1ears and those after are 1 2a#n 1ears. 0therpopular calendars include the "reat &es 4ec!onin 2"& and

5earthstone 1ears 251.

The Previous ges

*irst #as the timeless Epoch of Immortals, #here the four

Elder "ods made the #orld and the Elder eople- The

raons, *ey, Titans and roteans. This lasted until the&pparatus of 0mniscience unravelled time and space. In the

end, Enia's Sacrifice stabilised the Ten 6orlds and left the

#orld in a ne# Epoch of impermanence, #here time

mercilessly flo#ed, shared by Elder eople and mortal races

ali!e.

0ver uncharted millenia, The Epoch of Myth sa# the rise of

emons and &nels, the comin of the "ods, the rise of

empires of draons, demons, elves, iants, and straner

creatures yet.

To#ards the end of this Epoch, the #estern lands of Erce sa#

the rise of empires of mortal races of iants, elves and d#arves

and thus also the first recorded history of the mortal races. –

It culminated in the eventual e7ile and banishment of anels

and demons #hen the ods crafted the "reat Seal to !eep the

mortal races of Erce safe from demons, devils and malicious

Elder "ods.

Thus bean the Epoch of Mortals #hen man!ind fled the

desolation of the sundered demon empires in the east.

In this first &e of 5eroes  of the ne# epoch, man!ind

mirated to the #est #here the elves and d#arves had recently

been devastated by the rise of the oblinoid 8eastmen. They

bean forin !indoms for themselves, ivin rise to reat

leends that persist to the modern day.

This &e came to an end #hen the ascendent maical empire

Isandor fractured in the (st   Mae#ar,

The end of this #ar heralded the &e of Maic #hich sa# the

birth of #onders unrivalled by the mortal races before and

after. /iviliation reached pea!s unmatched as reat eras of

peace that lasted centuries settled on the land.

It came to a drastic end #ith the 9nd

  Mae#ar, #hen theemperor &tlor's attempt at supreme odhood shattered the

very landmasses of Erce and disrupted the flo#s of maic for

centuries.

This thre# Erce into an &e of ar!ness  that #ould blan!et

the land for more than a thousand years.

Some ( centuries ao, uided by the e# "ods, civilisation

bean to stir aain. 6hen ydecia cro#ned its first !in, it

ushered in a ne# &e of +iht, #here civilisation bean spreadunder the #ins of the ne# empire and the auspices of its

ivine ominion, eventually spannin all the #est.

provinces and #ith it, a ne# pantheon of +iht and purpose.

The &e of +iht liht ave #ay to the present &e of trife

over ;%% years ao #hen the 3 rd Mae#ar sa# the t#o empires

sundered and the ominion fractured.

The Current ge

*ollo#in the -a#n 1ear   21 calender, #e presently live in

the ();th year after the foundin of mihty ydecia.

/ountin years since the lihtin of the 5earthstone 251, 6e

are in the $(%th 5earthstone 1ear .

In the "reat &es 2"& 4ec!onin, it is the ;;% th year of the ;th

&e of the 3rd Epoch of Erce.

Erce lives in the shado# of the fallout of the 3 rd Mae#ar. The

dominion has been fracturin for centuries and the forces of

/haos creepin closer and closer to the very core of civilised

ands. These are lands fihtin a slo# but losin battle.

0nce mihty Errion has split into more than a doen

schismatic !indoms. ydecia is too divided by s<uabblin

nobility to have real purpose. The eastern marches are reduced

to savae and scantly populated borderlands #hilst the orth

s as unforivin and hostile to civiliation as it has ever been.

  Timelne of Erce

The timeline, particularly of the time before the &e of +iht,

contains information not enerally !no#n to modern scholars.

&side from the ods themselves, probably only a select fe#

#ould have such a detailed !no#lede of the full scope of

Ercen 5istory.

The most sinificant events are underlined and bold. Even

those in the Epoch of Myth are heard of by scholars, althouh

rarely the dates and details.

Some roundin of years is employed. *rom the nearest five in

modern years to the nearest century in ancient times. This is

partly due to the uncertainty of years concernin many events

of previous aes and in part for readability for modern times.
