Timeline

Time on this server is relative to real life time. Every day in real life is 3 days in-game. This makes a week in-game a little more than 2 days, a month in-game 10 days, and a year in-game 4 months.

**This Timeline shows only some important dates in history. Exact wars and events will have their own dedicated page.**

## Etharius Era (EE)

The Etharius Era is comparable to the Paleogene Period of Earth. Most dates of events occurring during the Etharius Era are approximated, for stating an exact year would be historically inaccurate.

### 1 EE - The first account of humans arriving to Apheria as cave-paintings.

Karsonian Era archaeologists found in a small cave near the shore of Meadow Valley cave paintings of humans arriving to land on ships. The archaeologists dated the aging "paint" as over 45000 years old as of this year. Some historians debate whether or not this approximation is accurate, but even if its not, all historians still refer to the date as 1 EE.

### ~1000 EE - Near mass extinction of the caveman race.

Although called cavemen, they looked vastly different men. They were much shorter than men, almost dwarvish. Their undeveloped feet and leg muscles meant they couldn't run, but they had almost triple the amount of arm and core strength as a modern day man. Upon arrival to Apheria, men suffered from the hostility and wrath of cavemen. Over half a million men were estimated to be slaughtered by cavemen. However, upon the discovery of iron, men gained the upper hand, and massacred the cavemen to near extinction.

### ~4300 EE - The Great Etharius War.

Also known as "The First War Of Ethus" by the elves (in the Etharius Era, elves prospered with humans. The Great Etharius War was a human-only war, and an Ethus in elven-tongue means human-soldier), The Great Etharius War was the most terrible war in the eternity of Apheria's history. Casualty numbers were actually quite low for a Great War, at only approximately 50,000 (1/8 of population). What made the Great Etharius War so brutal was what conditions it was fought in. Disease was common, and the Adiven Infernus' first eruption had occurred in the middle of war, suffocating many and bringing agriculture down. It covered the whole continent of Apheria with smoke. The Adiven Infernus is now no longer a volcano, and in fact, it is non existent. No one knows why, but it seems like the Adiven Infernus just disappeared somewhere at the end of the Etharius Era. Its disappearance is what caused the gap in-between the Adiven Peaks at the Ilician Neck. In the end, there was no clear victor, for in the Great Etharius War involved no alliances.

### ~8500 EE - Crowning of the first king of Apheria.

The First King of Apheria, Regulus I, was crowned in the woods of the Taiga Expanse. It was said that Regulus was offended by the conditions he was crowned in, and so that was why after he started the construction of the Royal City where all the later kings would be crowned. There is now a gold pedestal at the exact spot King Regulus I was crowned. It goes against the King's laws to destroy or steal the pedestal.

### 9783 EE - Elves driven out of Apheria.

Under the orders of King Astafett II, the remaining few thousand population of elves were driven out of Apheria. This was the last time many have ever heard of elves, though some humans that remain in Apheria are half-elves (direct descendants of elves with usable but evolved elf traits) and elf-cons (also known as quarter-elves, they have visible elf-traits but are useless). Unlike what most think, elves do not carry magical power, but they are excellent archers and some are extremely good at herbology.

## Karsonian Era (KE)

The Karsonian Era is comparable to the Neogene Period of Earth. Most dates of events occurring during the Etharius Era are approximated, for stating an exact year would be historically inaccurate, though these approximations are more correct than ones of the Etharius Era.

### 1 KE - The First Great Karsonian War.

The First Great Karsonian War marks the first year of the Karsonian Era. This war was centered around a very scarce, precious resource, called Dorus. Dorus was a combination of platinum and gold, and was, and still is, an extremely durable metal. The elves of the Etharius Era had used up much of this precious alloy, and the men of the Etharius Era had wasted the remaining Dorus in Apheria by thinking it was unusable iron and dumping it into the ocean. The Village Daltones gained an upper hand against their rival-in-war, the Village Osmours. The Village Daltones lived in both the highlands and the lower valleys, meaning they could try to find Dorus by mining while also raiding for Dorus with the high ground. After 13 years, it wasn't a surprise that the Daltones had won by nearly wiping out all of Osmours' soldiers. The King of the time, Gelman III, decided to put all of the Dorus collected into a giant bank. That bank still exists at the trading center and is still in use, but all mined Dorus goes to the King. Although it can be found in some expensive merchandise, people are not allowed to create products with Dorus without authorized use, and the removal of the ore from a product is illegal.

### 68 KE - Woodsmen flee the Eranads and land on Tyrerock.

The descendants of Etharius Era's cavemen were the Woodsmen. The Woodsmen were much taller and similar to men due to interspecies breeding, but they still were lack of combat skill. Like the cavemen, they were of the same genus as men but were different species. Though not driven off Apheria like the elves, the Woodsmen suffered from many diseases and sicknesses that the men brought along when they arrived on Apheria. Due to a negative sequence in their genetics, they were not able to become immune to a disease after contracting it, so many decided to leave mainland Apheria, going off into different places in the world. In 65 KE, the Woodsman Plague started in the Central Eranads, and after having a quarter of their population killed by the plague, Marice of the Woodsman House Lori gathered all Woodsmen of the Eranads (with the influence of his half-brother, Chieftain of the Unified House Black), and convinced them to set sail to the fabled land of Tyrerock, where it was rumored death was non-existent. Finally, in 68 KE, sixteen wooden ships were built, and the Woodsmen set sail to the land of Tyrerock. Some remnants of Woodsmen inhabitation of the Eranads can still be seen.
