Fabula Timeline

## Main Timeline

**Nihility**

There was nothing but the God of Life (Zhyta) and Death (Smerta). They were fully opposite and argued all the time.

**Elementary Era *(~500B years Before Our Era)***

It isn't known how much time has passed because there was no specific point to start the countdown nor even the concept of time itself. However, it is known that during the disputes of the Gods, a colossal amount of energy was created. It formed two groups of primary elements, which were opposite to the Gods themselves. Wind (Vitra) and Water (Voda) on one side, Fire (Vogna) and Earth (Zemla) on the other.

Unfortunately, that didn't solve their fight because the forces were equal. The elements collided and diverged like the flocks of birds. Then, even more energy poured from one side and the other, giving birth to stars and galaxies. Such an extraordinary flow of opposing forces led to the birth of a new, unlike the others, the fifth element — Providence (Provida). It combined forces, energy and elements from both sides.

**The Great Armistice *(~120B years BOE)***

This course of events interested the Gods, so they made a temporary truce.

By joining forces on a new element, they created all known Magic. From which, Smerta created a Form, and Zhyta — Life.

Thus, by giving the elements Form and Life, Elementals were formed. From that day, they could also control their elements. Together with the Gods, they created the fantastic world of Fabula with rivers, sands, volcanoes and caves. Then the Elementals were scattered across the globe to maintain the balance in Fabula.

**Prehistoric Era *(122M years BOE)***

The Fabula itself was not enough for the Gods. They took Form and Life and formed the first living beings. So, with the help of the Air Elemental, flying creatures were made, Water — floating ones, Fire — fiery ones, and Earth — terrestrial ones. And by the power of the Elemental of Providence, magical creatures and the first Humans were formed, some of which mutated into Xeni.

***Resettlement (238K years BOE)***

For years, Humans and Ksenais stuck together in large groups. Together they hid from the rain, collected edible plants, hunted animals, gave birth to children, and protected the den from predators.

After that, Humans and Xeni learned how to process materials and resources. Over time, they learned to make tools and weapons. This led to the formation of new professions and class segregation. In particular, they began to create small groups en masse and travel worldwide due to the last one.

***Our Era***

Humans and Xeni settled throughout the Fabula and formed their villages and even kingdoms. Those who travelled through the caves found iron and gold. These ores were used as currency but later were used to make better tools and weapons. Other travellers found Еlementals and learned Еlemental Мagic from them. Later, the first magical schools were opened.

Graduates of one of the schools, famous twin magicians Temra and Svita, have been enemies since childhood. Like the Gods, they used elemental Magic to decide which of them was stronger, but the powers were equal. Therefore, each of the brothers worked on developing his unique Мagic. This is how Light and Dark Magic were created.

Some cities were trading, and some were fighting among themselves. Empires were born and died. A perfect balance was maintained. However, the Gods eventually got fed up with this and decided to add an Element of Chaos to the Fabula. Zhyta and Smerta created the Endless Island beyond time and space, where the so-called Heroes (players) are born. They are meant to change the perfect balance in the world and entertain the Gods.

The Heroes forms in shape they like, learn basic skills and laws and are transported to the Fabula. God's Favorites receive Grace and can join the so-called Great Judgment (DPC). In this place, meetings are held, at which changes in the world of the Fabula are decided, which would satisfy both the Heroes and the Gods. In addition, Grace helps Heroes build their cities and kingdoms, uniting into large Factions. One day, they maybe become Legends.

From now on, Fabula's past, present and future depend only on the Heroes.
