3rd Age of the Sun

Kuros’s kingdom, known as Sparta, began to expand, though they made a treaty with Caledor not to encroach upon his land. Edhelnore once again entered an age of peace, undisturbed by man. The Elves explored far and wide though they had no interest in expanding their own land. Melwen became strong in Magic and her brother, in the west, became a great warrior.
Meanwhile, a rival King of Man, Dernius, rose in the East, not far from Edhelnore. He envied Sparta’s power, and was enraged by their refusal to teach him magic. He marched an army to Edhelnore and demanded to be taught the secrets. King Caledor refused and the army attacked the Elven capital. Serius’s men were badly trained, but outnumbered the Argani. King Caledor was killed in the assault, and Melwen became queen. The Argani beseeched the Wood Elves for help, but they refused. Calador’s host from Enedhaur was cut off. Eventually they beseeched their Mannish friends in Sparta for help- their allies turned them down, fighting their own wars against other men, also desirous of magic. Alone, the Argani lost the battle- Emynost was sacked, hundreds of Elves were slain, and Melwen was raped by Dernius. Only the eventual arrival of Calador turned the tide, but by then it was too late- the Dernians had stolen the secrets of magic and many artifacts.
Queen Melwen quickly closed her borders, setting up magical wards to ensure no more men could pass into Edhelnore. All those who sought it found themselves lost. But Men continued to grow in power and, eventually, the secret of magic became common. Many rival kingdoms were established, and even the most common man became proficient in Magic. Eventually steel become useless and the wars were fought with Mana and Essence. The Mage Wars had begun.
The Wars waged for centuries, with small kingdoms falling and others rising, and the landscape being changed and ruined by the magic. Sparta lost territory, and Dernia and the other kingdoms began to grow in strength. Some of the most lethal magic was invented during these days, and the most dangerous artifacts. Eventually, Derniang, ancestor of Derius, unleashed his greatest weapon, and his greatest mistake. He opened a large portal to the Chaos Realm, to bring Chaos upon Sparta and his other foes. However, Derniang could not control the Chaos. The forces of Chaos overran the world. And the Mage Wars and the Third Age ended.
