First Era

The First Era is a term used to describe the first 300 or so years of the Colormen's history.
It was during this era when the The Colormen were formed. Matthew Erdagovern, the first Man In Blue, described the first 60 years or so of this period as "a splendid time; knowledge was plentiful and available to all." The Great Hall of the Colormen was established during this time period, as were the Colormen Archives.
The First Era ended in approximately the mid 1600s, when The Prism was shattered and public opinion of the Colormen had changed. This lead immediately into the dark era.
The Colormen archives hold more records of the First Era than the Dark Era. However, at some point during the Dark Era The Red Warriors for unknown reasons decided to destroy the archives. Had it not been for the Man In Gold of the time, they would have succeeded. Although the archives survived, it is estimated that as many as 20,000 texts may have been lost in that attack, "possibly more" says the current Man In Gold.
