The Age of the Second Star

The Age of the Second Star is the period of history with the most historical information. The new age started with Ere'tsaa's invasion and killed a large part of the Elf and Dwarf populations on Erde, making way for the rise of Humans. It is because of the massive population boom of humans in this time that some people call this period of time 'The Age of Humanity'.

The Age of the First Star ended in the year 1813FS, with the opening of the Second Star, a void rift intended to invite The Ancient Ones.

The First D&D campaign started on Friday 16th March, 2717SS, when Soverion Sin discovered the sword *Rethevan* in the hideout of a goblin warlord.

**Timeline of the Age of the Second Star**

* 1SS: Ere'tsaa begins the soul sacrifices required to open a massive rift to The Void. This appeared as a shining green star in the sky over Erde, leading to celebrations by the Elves as a prophecy to the return of the gods.
* 10SS: Ere'tsaa is defeated, the void rift is closed leaving a bright tear in the sky. The ancient races of Erde are devastated, making way for the 'Age of Humanity'.
* 25SS - 500SS: The 'Ancient States' of Fandalor, Nesfeneu, Kefu, and Ainogar are founded in Erde and northern Kopeni. They will eventually come to control much of the known world, and explore far into the distant realms.
* 812SS: The large cedar forests of Kopeni begin to die, plunging the whole continent into famine. It is said by the tribespeople of the desert that the God-King of Kefu, King Antokh pledged his empire as tribute for eternal life. Kefu is the first of the 'Ancient States' to fall.
* 1217SS: Fandalor begins expanding north of *The Hide*, annexing tribes in modern day Cannalt.

* 2090SS: Ainogar's capital city Vozelsk is captured by *The Regedai,* a steppe tribe migrating south from their homeland across The Frozen Sea. Historians claim this to be the starting point of the 'Great Winter', the cooling of Ortheid by unknown causes.
