Iron Age of Man

One of the four Ages of Man and the current era of Gaean history, the Iron Age of Man immediately followed the Deluge that ended the Third Age and destroyed Bronze Age Man. It saw the creation of the Human race, the reincarnation of the previous iterations of Man, the recession of the Deluge's waters, and the creation of the Everwar in its modern form. It is the second-longest Age of Man, following the Golden Age, and is marked by the rise and fall of numerous civilizations, most famously the collapse of Atlantis and Ultima Thule, the dramatic expansion in complexity of Monster society, hierarchy, and the diversification of their species. It saw a resurgence in cultures associated with the distinct pantheons of gods as the gods themselves restructured their own hierarchies and established the Lottery of Dominion, the apotheosis of the Aesir and Vanir, the formation of the Church of the Twelve and One. The Age is marked by many, many conflicts waged between Men and Monsters, and amongst themselves. The Divinities have historically been highly active in this Age, both in the form of Aspects and through the granting of Blessings to champions.
