Natural History

Like Earth, Kaimere has a rich and fascinating geologic history dating back billions of years, but as Kaimere has its own unique properties, many details are much different than to that of Earth.

## The First Dynasty

### Harvests

* The First Harvesting Period (global) 360-355mya
* First Permian Harvest (Global?) 265mya-???

### Planetary Conditions

Kaimere during the first dynasty was a global swamp, a hothouse, with only the poles having temperate climates

### Developments

* First Earth life on Kaimere
* First Soil on Kaimere
* First Mass extinction on Kaimere
* Origin of Heterotherms
* Origin of Fabodonts
* Origin of Dignathia
* Origin of Carbosuchia
* Origin of Ambuloichthyia
* Origin of Torosteonia
* Origin of Caudomasta
* Origin of Sea Scorpiones
* Aeroplankton retreats to the troposphere

### Extinction

Due to a clash in tectonics plates during Earth's Late Permian, the planet of Kaimere became less humid and more arid, made further catastrophe for indigenous life by a meteor impact resulting in Kaimere's second Mass Extinction.

## The Permian Dynasty

### Planetary Conditions

Significantly more arid and cooler than the First Dynasty

### Developments

* Arvel breaks off of Kaishel moving towards Ni'Khar
* Permian Continent breaks off of Kairul, splits in half, with one now connected to the polar continent
* Introduction and radiation of therapsids
* Introduction and radiation of conifers and ferns

## Second Jurassic Dynasty

### Developments

Jurassic Islands split from Arvel and drift towards Kairul

## Second Early Cretaceous Dynasty

### Harvests

Campanian Harvest, North America, Date Unknown

### Planetary Conditions

Equatorial rainforests and Titanosaurs as dominant megafauna

### Extinction

A devastating arid period sparked by unknown circumstances.

## The Tyrant Dynasty

### Harvests

* East Asian Harvest 68mya
* The Oligocene Harvest, North America and Europe 31mya

## Post Dynastic Extinction

### Harvests

#### Warring Clades Period: 14-11mya

**Description:** As the name would suggest, the Warring Clades period was a three million year span of time after the Dynastic Extinction in which many groups of animals, both newly harvested and long established battled for ecological control of the Known World, this instability triggered the portal to enact more harvests which ironically only lead to more disaster, but things eventually cooled down and some balance in the Known World was established around 11mya.

* North American harvest 14.2mya
* South American harvest 13.7mya
* Central Asian harvest 12.3mya
* South African harvest 10.3mya
* North America 8mya
* The Great Sloth Harvest (South America) 6.1-5.9mya

#### Anchored Period: 5.5-1.5mya

**Description:** This was a 4 million year span of time in which the Portal stopped harvesting organisms from Earth, as a result, many groups of animal and plant were able to properly establish themselves in Kaimere's ecosystem, with a state of ecological stability not seen since the Tyrant Dynasty.

* Harvest of Sahul (Southeast Asian harvest) 1.5-1.45 mya
* Northern Eurasian Harvest 805-770kya
* Pleistocene North African harvest 255-248kya
* End Pleistocene North American Harvest (interrupted harvest) 11-10kya
