Ancient Arcadia

Ancient Arcadia is how Arcadia appeared during the Age of Heroes.
Much of this land is yet undiscovered, but will be discovered as campaigns travel these ancient lands.
The landmass shares its name with that of the world. It is thought to be an act of arrogance because the landmass is considered to be the first created by the gods.
==History==
===Age of Mist===
History in Ancient Arcadia began in The First City in the Age of Mist. This city was created by the gods after they had finished building the Arcadian Landmass. In this city Humanity and other species were said to have been deployed into the world for the first time. The people of the first city began existence with Bronze-Age Technology.
It is said the gods would freely visit Ancient Arcadia during this era.
Much of the history of the Age of Mist is lost. What little of it that was recorded didn't survive, what only stories from this era survived.
Like with the rest of the world, it is said the Age of Mist ended with the War of Creation. During this time The First City was destroyed and became Heatstroke.
===Age of Heroes===
The gods take a backseat in the heavens, with much of this era of Arcadia directed by the Champions or Heroes of the age. Influential and Powerful people shaped the world and other peoples to their whim. City States rose up around the landmass, influenced heavily by the heroes who live there.
The city-state of Abalar rose up as a religious city due to the self-appointed King-Priests and Queen-Priests. The city-state of Vodan, in the middle of verdant grass-lands expanded in a more military style, taking control of the rich lands from those who would take it from them.
===Age of Might===
Those powerful city-states that survived to the end of the Age of Heroes, without their champions anymore, rose up to consolidate their power with moral men. This lead to armies being raised and empires being started. There are an unknown number of empires that rose and fell in this era, but the one remembered is the Vodan Empire that survived to the end of the age and the Breaking of Arcadia.
It is said the Breaking of Arcadia was caused by the events in the Arcadian Isles. A mix between the arrogance of humanity, the corruption of the temples. The land was severely reshaped by the Breaking at the end of the age.
===Age of Iron===
