Timeline

The following is a timeline of folk evolution on Narus, starting at the First Awakening and ending in the current year, of the Montiac Era. The pre-Montiac Awakening Era describes the period prior to the formation of the Lepus Montiac Empire. During this time, historians outside of Calast were rare. Because of this present-day Montiac historians have estimated the order of much of the roughly 700-year Awakening Era, and year markers are not used.

Most species were released from multiple Habitats during multiple Awakenings. For simplicity, only a species first release is listed

## Awakening Era

* Nearly twenty five thousand years after Humanity leaves Narus, The First Awakening begins: Mainly occurring in Calast, upwards of 150 Habitats open. Lepus, Canisians, Nibayr, and Scrofans are released in the thousands. A small number of Habitats opened outside Calast primarily in Orientum and Meridian. Habitats in Orientum released the Leucans and Capran, while the latter Habitats released the Chasa and Nilotici in North Meridian
* Second Awakening begins: Habitats in the far north of Calast, Orientum, and Nix open, releasing the Ursidae and Corvans. All three Habitats on the Agorix isles also open, releasing the Anur and the Pardali. The final Habitats in Calast open, releasing the Petra and Chamael
