Second Age

The Second Age was a period of time in the history of the universe.
Following the Elemental War that closed out the First Age, the first years of the Second Age were years of reconstruction and development. 
== Timeline ==
=== The First Years ===
* 1 PE (Post-Expulsion). The last primordials are expelled from the universe. Primordials will return in the distant future, but for now, their threat to mortalkind has been erased. With this event, the pax divina of the second age is inaugurated.
* 3 PE. The first Divine Council takes place. The Divines and their lieutenants gather in order to discuss the future of the world, and common accords to ensure stability and peace. For example, the First Decree enunciates that, should any Divine slay another Divine, then the other Divines would rally against the traitor, ensuring that no single Divine became too powerful.
* 4 PE. Following the establishment of the Divine Council, the construction of the Eternal Palace in the holy isle of Vaer begins.
=== The Expansion Period ===
* 23 PE. Mzund, firstborn of the Dwarven divine Tzulft, formally establishes the Kingdom of Dwarvenkind. Tzulft is crowned Golden King, but Tzulft prefers the glory of battle and the pleasure of drink to the tedium of governance. Tzulft appoints Mzund to govern in his stead. The realm is initially known as Delft, "home" in Dwarvish, but in the future it will become known as Mzundelft.
* 24 PE. In Nivelor, the arcane studies progress at an excellent pace under the leadership of the Elven goddess and mother of magic, Sinvariol. In this year, she establishes the famed Avaras College, a place of wisdom and learning for any who would enter.
* 57 PE. Sinvariol discovers the method of crystallizing magic into magical artifacts, leading her to create the first Magic Items. Thus, the first artificial magic items are made. Sinvariol formally establishes an order of Artificers to further study this development.
=== The Intermediate Period ===
=== The Latter Period ===
* ca. 1,300 PE. Somewhere around this date, the Nameless One is born. Little is known of this character, with the exception of their incredible power and abilities.
* 1,695 PE. The construction of the Great Pyramid of Khalanset is begun in the Kingdom of Ahnkhaset. 
* 2,195 PE. The great pyramid of Khalanset is finally finished. Built as the future grave of the God-Pharaoh, its construction lasted for exactly 500 years, as planned by the legendary architect, Re-Osahar.
=== The Godfall begins ===
* 2,332 PE. The Godfall begins after decades of preparation. The Divine Council, caught unawares, is dealt a series of deadly defeats. For full details, visit the Third Age.
