Age of Creation

Pre-historic

Followed by the Age of Titans

* Shortly after the forming of the multiverse, the dawn titans were born into the chaos of the elemental plane. Powerful, near-omnipotent beings, they tore at their realms in endless churning war with each other. As the prime material universe settled into its current state after billions of years, beings similar in stature to the dawn titans awoke in the cold depths of space. These beings sealed themselves into crystaline spheres, shunting out the chaotic energies of the plogston, and walling off their sphere of influence to form the separate material planes. Beings such as Ao, Azathoth, and Ein Sof went to work, creating, destroying, and elevating others as the demiurge of their universes. Many others simply let their spheres evolve naturally. Ord was the later. The omnipotent overgod of Ordspace called itself Eos and was content to bear witness to the development of his sphere.
* Life is created and develops on the primordial worlds over the course of billions of years. Various extinction events take place as Eos takes on a passive observer role.
* Intelligent life slowly emerges in two primary groups, avians-decendants survivors of a previous global extinction event, and the ape-descended.
* The ape-descended humanoids diversify into two major groups, archaic humans, and archaic goblins.
* Abyssal influence among these early peoples worries the Seraphim, Eos' personal attendant angels.
* Coming of the Titans. Titans and giants, refugees from the war with the true-gods arrive on Ord seeking a safe haven. Eos grants them safe harbour, knowing nothing of the war between titans and true-gods, or even of the existence of others outside his sphere.
* Eos elevates a number of Titans into the Empyrean Titans.
* The Empyreans and Celestials urge Eos to take a more active role in the world. At Eos' insistence, celestials divide into two groups, one to oversee the world and act as guides for the Empyreans and one to guard it from abyssal influence.
* The lower celestials are affected by the horrors of the Abyss and begin to take advantage of demonic methods of using souls as power. In their fight against the demons, new powers are developed and over time they become the first Devils.
* The hominids continue to develop their society in secret from the Titans and overseen by the Seraphim. Some of them learn rudementary magic.
* Titans continue to shape the world. The naturally developed plants, beasts, and humanoids are purposefully altered by the Empyrean titans, much to the dismay of Eos.
* The titans and their giant kin create great planar rifts to bring in more creatures which begin to pour in from distant realms. Dragons, having found their way to Ord through these portals refuse to ally themselves with the Empyreans and scatter across the world. The reckless dimensional rifts cause widespread damage to Ord's landscape. Empyreans fight back inter-dimensional creatures but suffer tragic losses.
* Overgod Eos reinforces the crystalline sphere and closes the dimensional rifts, sealing the sphere once again. Eos vexed by the titans and their apparent disregard for its world and creatures. He orders the Empyreans to enforce some order over their kin, creating the Ordning, a heirarchy of giant authority and command. Over time this causes a rift between the Empyreans and Eos.
* The giants declare themselves the rulers of the world and attempt to elevate the Empyreans as the new gods of the realm. The Empyrean Empire is founded and the Age of Titans begins.
