== Intium Era ==
Elves - Isolated to Aldoria after cataclysmic event.
The Elves are one of the oldest known historically dated races. A lot of knowledge was lost from before the time of human calendering but ancient elven ruins can still be found in places around our known world indicating a terrible event had taken place.
The two most notable locations:
In the cold North of Ostorfalt to the south of Maug' Dod lies Artin. Well preserved ruins can be seen defying time itself frozen in eternity. Research into this site could never move forward due to harsh conditions and hostile territory.
In the center of Astaria, in southern Drimhowel lies Fengolor, a well excavated research destination. Universities are still there looking over the ruins and making discoveries.
Except found during the early excavation of Fengolor.

"Our fears, that had once only lived in shadows, now walk amongst men. It has descended, shrouded now are we in its chasmal malevolence. I fear it will surely consume us all."
Humans - Historical Calendar Begins-
Evidence suggests that Northern Valendor was ripped in two as a result of a great expelling of magic which is now referred to as "The Great Pulse." This will bring about changes in the world as humans delve into the exploration of magic.
0-190 - Human civilization spreads across the world bringing with it minor wars, innovation in all areas but especially magical learning, tapping into the arcane and divine. Mention of great libraries housing vast knowledge can be found in old restored records. These studies led to the foundation of the magic systems we use today.
190-220 - The Vampire Wars - Vampirism spread across the continent and the war between the Humans and the Vampires began. 10 years of bloody battles ensued. Culminating into a stalemate at the Gates of Faust for 20 years. Eventually treaties were signed and they entered a pseudo cold war.
== Fantasy Era ==
1500-1600 - As the world shrunk many races came out of isolation and a big boom in trade and relations began. Cities were being built practically overnight. Border wars and skirmishes were commonplace.
1600-1855 - World War - In the advent of rapid expansion and the sudden encroachment on land coupled with cultural tensions resulted in the largest most prolonged war our world had ever seen.
1850 - A hidden ancient dark cult looking to take advantage of the world's upheaval revealed themselves harnessing ancient powerful magics set upon the land. They decimated whole armies, raised cities, infiltrated governments. It only took 5 years to set the world ablaze. The world's races banded together, or what was left of them, and fought back.
1855 - After the defeat of the evil cult at the Battle of Moontide Pass the C.A.F was formed. The Ancestra Treaty was signed and divisions were formed.
1865 - Ascension Academy is founded. "United we stand as one". Built to foster and train those from different backgrounds to work together in understanding. Fighting back against the evil injustices in this world.
= Additional Information =
The Great Pulse is described as the the arrival of magic, though this might not be entirely accurate.
While it is claimed the World War was between Humans and Non-Humans, the involvement of the Darkness and the period following after Humans unleashed it is not touched on in the text.
The Cataclysm that pushed the Elves to Aldoria is most likely the Darkness emerging long long ago.
The Vampire Wars seem to have been Humans trying to purge Vampires rather than something the Vampires themselves instigated.
