## Timeline

### Era of Creation

* The seven Greater Deities are born from the universe itself. They will then create the ethereal plane of existence and coexist peacefully.
* The Greater Deities create the Physical Plane of Existence. They populate it with flora and vegetation and then the fauna. Eventually, they create the humanoid races, though whether this is before or after the War of the Gods is not known. Many believe the humanoid races to have been born from individual gods in their chosen image but this is not regarded as fact.
* The War of the Gods erupts as Nex and Bellum attempt to overthrow their brothers and sisters to take control of the Physical Plane. When the war subsides, Nex and Bellum are defeated and exiled from the Ethereal Plane. The Abyss is created for the two to reside.

### Era of the Ancients

* **4000-2000 E.A.**
	+ The race of dragons land on Albasar and form the nation of Asakotan. They use their armies of dray and wage war against Urudiya, the goblinoid nation led by the orcs.
	+ The elves of the Aldder Forest unite as a single nation, creating Shajara.
	+ The dray revolt against the dragons, starting the Draconic War, which lasts for nearly a century.

* **2000-0000 E.A.**
	+ The humans and littlefolk unite, creating the island nation of Balchrin.
	+ With the dragons defeated and dispersed, having lost a war on two fronts against the dray and Urudiya, the orcs declare war against the dray. This results in the Never Ending War.
