Innovation Era

The Innovation Era began with the end of the Pemblish Civil War and the establishment of the Commonwealth of Pem in 400 BGE. It ended with the Great Exposition in Pembleton, 0 GE. This era saw increasing trade between the nations of the Known World and huge technological advancements among its nations. The Innovation Era also saw the Second Tall Kingdom War and the fall of the monarchy of the Tall Kingdom (Great Kingdom), as well as the subsequent establishment of the Northern Alliance.

Following the Great Exposition of the Works of the World in Pembleton, it was decided that a new international dating system would be created. Dates prior to the exposition would be referred to as "Before [the] Great Exposition" (BGE), working numerically backwards. Therefore, all subsequent dates after the exposition would be referred to as [the] Great Era (GE), to reflect the "newfound political, economic, cultural and technological co-operation...exemplified by [the] Great Exposition". 
As a result of this agreement and following years of criticism at the Pem-centric deliniation of the Emergent and Innovation Eras, many leading academics have adopted the term Great Era to describe post-Great Exposition historical chronology.
