Timeline

## Before Great Schism [BGS]

Humanity is currently going through it's own industrial revolution. Coal and oil are becoming popular and desired resources. Aside from their technological prowess, knowledge about the world BGS is very scarce, as much was lost during The Great Schism.

One of the few things retained from BGS, is the name of the world. Orin. The people AGS still remember and use the name for this world.

## The Great Schism

This event was literally world defining. The world screamed as cracks appeared, but from between the cracks, roars could be heard. These roars belonged to the might serpent race, now known as Leviathans. As massive portions of land were swallowed by the Blackmyst that lurked below, the human race was reset. Most, if not all, progress was lost.

Those lands that were not swallowed by the Blackmyst rose up to become the five islands we now know today.

## After Great Schism [AGS]

Aside from the world tearing up and many people disappearing into the Blackmyst, not much happened directly AGS. People had to deal with the new world around them and started rebuilding. The Leviathans that appeared during The Great Schism, seemed to have all but disappeared.
