The Era of Man

This is the age in which man rose up to become one of the most powerful races in all the realms

## ***The Great Rebirth***

After the aftermath of the great war with the Dragons, the mortal races began to rebuild themselves. Humans, having fully claimed Aetheros, began to build large individual kingdoms. With the 'proto-humans' being controlled by the 'pure-blooded' race or Veteribus. Though, a large section of protos left for the western continent to create their own tribes, to be free of rules. These men became the Théronmench.

## ***The Age of Ash***

As the Veteribus grew larger and larger, so did their rival kingdoms. They began to form alliances and unions. Their kings made agreements and pacts to work together for the common good. Though they were powerful, they were weak in number. Many of the other kingdoms had several times the amount of manpower. The Veteribus needed an edge, and so,
they turned to science to gain the answer.

After years of experimenting, the Veteribus discovered gunpowder (though some claim it was a deity that gifted them it). Using this new technology, they were able to create massive weapons of war. Able to destroy a fortress wall in a single evening, leveling towns in
a fortnight. No one dared question the Veteribus kings. As time went on, the 'proto-human' kingdoms began to fall or become ruled by the Veteribus.

## ***The Fourth Age of Man***

The humans
then deviated into two core races of men; The Théronmench, the best men of the west, and the Veteribus,
the educated class of the west. Several smaller races exist throughout the world. Each lived on separate parts of the world. The Théronmench ruled on the
Super Continent of (\_\_\_\_\_\_) while the Veteribus Controlled the other continents.
The Plebeians lived throughout the world, becoming physical slaves of the
Théron, while the Veteri refused to allow them into the cities or major
settlements.

## ***The Age of Machines***

As the Veteribus grew in power, so did their knowledge. They begin to tamper with machines and technology they had never dreamed of. Using Aether to create
self-turning gears to create power, they created all types of machines to do
work for them. Massive Colossal earth movers, to household robots to clean. Eventually creating the race of Automata, a self-contained race to help assist with work inside their strongholds.

## ***The Great War***

There Théronmench tribes began to grow too large. Overpopulation was becoming a huge issue. Tribes begin to war with one another for land and resources. Some tried to consolidate, living in smaller areas underground and in mountainous towers. While other chose mass sacrifices, to appease the gods and keep the numbers down. Yet one tribe, choose to sail east.

In the east, the tribe found plenty of resources. Large acres of forest to harvest from and plains to hunt in. However, they also found another dominate race. The Veteribus, with powerful beasts of metal. The first Veteribus city wasn't ready, it was ransacked. Mass amounts of Théronmench raiders stormed the streets, taking whatever they could. However, it didn't last long. The Veteribus reinforcements arrived.

With their powerful new weapons known as the Gehraak, the Veteribus demolished the Théron. Destroying the raiding force and pushing them outside their city. The Théron had never dealt with something so powerful, so they retreated but the Veteribus followed. They headed for their homeland, to try to seek refuge with another tribe. However, the Veteribus had decided for total war. They destroyed everything that crossed their path. Destroying both tribes. Though only a single tribe attacked, the Veteribus where on a massive campaign, to completely eliminate the Théronmench. After several long years, their goal would be completed, the Théron, no longer walked the face of Aetheros.

The new world was very hard on the Veteri, new obstacles they never dealt with. New plants and animals they had never encountered, and with it, new diseases. The Veteribus had vaccinations and natural immunity to the sicknesses from their homeland, but they had never come across these many of the new diseases. As they tried to settle their new territory, they began to fall ill. Many returned home, but that brought the disease into their enclosed kingdoms. Slowly destroying the Veteribus from the inside.

## ***The Fifth Age of Man***

Several hundred years after the fall of the Veteribus society had fallen, the ~~Plebeians~~ finally went into the ruins and discovered that they had fallen long ago. This allowed them to slowly band together with different groups of Peasants throughout the different cities. Due to their growing numbers, they began to expand all across the Eastern Hemisphere and expand all over. The Ictherians begin to notices how powerful their race had become and started attacking different caravans and cities. However due to their advanced Veteribus tech, the Ictherians where no match. The Ictherians begin to unite and grew more powerful. However, doing this forced the Plebeians to join forces and become a united republic. Joining forces, they crushed the
Ictherians and forced them to return and live out in the wilds.
