==Timeline==
Era 	Event
Ancient Past 	Humans appear on The Free Isles, alongside other races such as the Alm, a subterranean race.
Ancient Past 	In the caverns beneath the Meteor Island of The Shrouded Isles, an unknown individual draws a sigil, calling for 'anybody' to come. As a result of this sigil, a meteorite falls from, with Kyl'il eventually emerging from that meteor. Other meteors with other Spiritfolk also presumably descend around this time, including Xin and all other Spiritfolk. This era represents a mass exodus from the Spiritfolk homeland. As a result of this event, the dinosaurs go extinct.
Ancient Past 	The Zeth eventually appear, presumably following the Spiritfolk as their natural predators, eventually making their home in the nation of Ysrid.
Ancient Past 	With Spiritfolk arriving in the mortal plane, they are revered as gods, some worshipping them, others hiding, and others wishing to fight back. Devils are summoned to the mortal realm and offer humans their blood. The union of man and demon gives rise to the first Tieflings, who are capable of killing Spiritfolk permanently with Godslayer magic.
Ancient Past 	The Alm engage in some ancient war against a god buried beneath the earth. Similarly to the humans, the Alm make a deal of some form with these infernal beings in exchange for power of some sort. They eventually manifest the power of the hymns, ritualistic dances that invoke some form of magic for either combat, travel, or otherwise. The first dancer uses this power to slay the god, ending the war and giving rise to the lineage of dancers that serve as the leaders of the Alm.
Ancient Past 	As a countermeasure to prevent the Alm from becoming too powerful, the infernal beings allow the anger and suffering of the Alm slayed in the war before the arrival of the dancer to fester into a monster. The Harrow is created, starting as a mear shadow whispering into the minds of young Alm and turning them against their kin, though growing in power as the Alm do. As a result of the Harrow's existence, the Alm are forced to leave their home underground and wander the Free Isles forever, the Alm following them in an eternal hunt.
Ancient Past 	An overabundance of demonic influence in the mortal plane causes immence stagnation and mundanity by the orderly nature of the demons, resulting in mass suffering and disease. One such place is that of Tannhauser. As a result, Angels are summoned down from the Heavens to enforce "justice and retribution", as well as bring magic to the world. Some of the angels involved include The First and The Third.
Ancient Past 	The first angels to arrive on the mortal plane eventually spawn the first line of Aasimar, alongside travelling the world in a massive ship made of alabaster to accomplish their goals. They are eventually banished, deemed to be troublemakers.
Ancient Past 	Other nations such as Freearch, Renalan, Onorhant, Altreia, The Alaran Empire, and Kuravia rise at some unknown point in time.
Uncertain Far Past 	The ancestors of the Meathians sail the seas as pirates, pillaging other civilizations via their armada of ships. One day, near the edges of the world, they encounter something so horrifying that it drives them mad. Attempting to hide from it, they sail nonstop until they arrive on Meathe, hoping to forever be forgotten. They additionally "pluck" an object from the world in exchange for something of immense value. They use that object to grant a selected person powers, henceforce referred to as their "Guardian". The powers of the guardian are passed down through their lineage, eventually giving rise to Aesling.
Uncertain Far Past 	Castle Crowhenge descends from above, bringing with it the chaos and terrors of The Heavens. The monsters of the castle will continue to be a problem for the nearby Freearch for thousands of years.
Uncertain Far Past 	A bandit named Hector travels through the Freearchi snow, where he meets a prince and necromancer named Aiden, becoming his personal knight. The two get married. Some time later, Hector makes a blood pact to kill the king of Castle Crowhenge, hoping to save humanity. Among his party is a tiefling, who betrays the group, forcing Hector to slay him and take the throne of Castle Crowhenge himself. Hector becomes the Ashen Knight.
Uncertain Far Past 	The Prison of Lights is contructed approximately 4000 years BM on the island of Azhel, intended to be a place where rogue Spiritfolk are detained. It is traditionally managed by one spiritfolk warden, being Orien, and one human warden.The Nine Shrines Gods establish their base in The Shrouded Isles.
Uncertain Far Past 	An event takes place approximately 3000 years ago, causing Kyl'il to undergo her most recent incarnation. A war breaks out between humans and Spiritfolk on the isles, possibly being the cause of this forced reincarnation.
