## Dawn Age

The Dawn Age covers the time period where the only thing that existed was the infinite sea of power known as the Prime, up until the awakening of the Primordials, who shortly thereafter began the Age of Genesis.

* The Primordials, after ages of existing purely within the Prime, come together to decide on what can be done to enliven their existence. Ra puts forth the idea of creating something new. Apep vehemently opposes the idea, stating that the Prime is perfect as is. The others, however, support Ra's idea, bringing the Dawn Age to an end and initiating the Age of Genesis.

## Age of Genesis

The Age of Genesis is the time period when the Primordials, after having awakened within the Prime, began the process of hollowing out a portion of it, creating the Void. The rest of the Age of Genesis involved the Primordials filling the Void with Creation, and using the powers of the newly developed Divine Dominions to set about its laws.

**AG ??**

* Ouranos declares himself as ruler of all Creation. When his brothers Ra and Apophis both protest, with Apophis being cast to the edges of Creation and Ra being made to kneel before Ouranos. With his dominance established, the Age of Thunder begins, as the Age of Genesis comes to an end.

## Age of Thunder

The Age of Thunder refers to the period of time following the Age of Genesis, when Ouranos dominated all of his fellow Primordials by brute force, becoming absolute ruler of Creation.

No modern mortals existed during the Age of Thunder. Instead, ancient, primeval races rose and fell, some raised up by the children of the Sky Father, others clawing their way to power of their own accord.

The Age of Thunder ended when Ouranos was betrayed by Gaia and his Titan sons, his Avatar destroyed, and him being castrated both physically and spiritually, curbing his dominant spirit and rendering him docile and depressed.

**AT 1**

**AT 10,914**

**AT 100,000**

* Kronos, with the help of his mother Gaia and his brothers Hyperion, Koios, Krios, and Iapetus, defeats and castrates his father Ouranos, usurping his throne and casting a spell to prevent him from ever being able to manifest a physical form again. This begins the Golden Age.

## Golden Age

The Golden Age is the time period following the downfall of Ouranos after he was overthrown by his son Kronos. Kronos lacked the power of his father, but still maintained control of the Primordials via the Stormshroud Throne, though it began to weaken over time due to the absence of Ouranos.

Kronos was not a very attentive ruler, and rapidly devolved into decadence, allowing vast swathes of territory to devolve into anarchy and even secede outright from his dominion. Kronos's inattention resulted in the rise of numerous new divine civilizations, enabling the growth of many new pantheons. The Golden Age also saw the birth of the first mortals.

The Golden Age ended when Kronos was overthrown by his children in the stupendous war known as the Titanomachy, which inspired a series of additional rebellions across Creation, where younger Primals overthrew the generations who came before them. This brought the rule of the elder generations to an end, and with it, the end of the Golden Age.

## The Silver Age

The Silver Age is the time period following the Golden Age, wherein the younger generations of Primals constructed most of the pantheons that have survived to the modern day. During the Silver Age, the various pantheons largely kept to themselves, ruling over their realms without interference from one another. The Silver Age ended when the Beznadi, lead by Svarog, swept across Creation with an army of Abyssal monsters, only to have their leader defeated at Olympus, initiating the Bronze Age.

## The Bronze Age

The Bronze Age was a period marked by war and turmoil, with the various godly pantheons spending much of their time battling each other for dominance. Some pantheons were completely destroyed, others subjugated to the will of others, but almost none escaped the conflict of this era completely. The Bronze Age's final years consisted of the Angelic Conquests, which successfully subjugated all other pantheons in the name of Ynoch's Dream.

The Age is brought to an end after 1,760 years by the civil war among Ynoch's Seraphim sons known as the War of the Fall, which saw the universe plunged into the terrifying Great Maelstrom.

	+ Azazel, eager for glory, continually deviates from the battle plans drawn up by Raphael. Though they still manage to achieve several victories, eventually, Azazel charges the enemy battle lines after being baited by the sight of them crumbling. This results in crippling losses to the Sixth Legion, with over three quarters of them massacred, and Raphael diverting the order of battle in order to come to his brother's aid.
		- The El'sherah manage to regain morale and several positions as the Third and Sixth Legions retreat, prolonging the conquest of their domains.
		- Azazel and his devastated Legion retreat home in disgrace, as the Seventh Legion under Abaddon and Eighth Legion under Gadreel are sent to reinforce Raphael and the Third.

Gabriel is forced to suppress the revolt, and receives aid from Azrael and his Ninth Legion, with Azrael carrying out several assassinations on key Atua leaders before they surrender once more, and are imprisoned.

Though the First Legion take the lion's share of the glory, Asmodeus and his legion perform so competently that Michael recommends to Ynoch that he be given his own command immediately.

Upon hearing such, Azazel dubbed them the Ironborn.

Outraged, Azazel uses his influence among their brothers to gather them all for a conclave within the Deva's realm of Shangri La, to discuss their actions and possibly censure them.

Most of the Fallen legions erupt into civil war as they are forced to purge themselves of Ynochian loyalists, which are either wholly destroyed or forced to flee into the Maelstrom.
* As the Maelstrom begins, the Seraph Raziel declares himself the Lord Regent of Eden.
	+ Shortly thereafter, his brother Gabriel, and Uriel after him, both arrive at Eden. Gabriel declares his support for Raziel's regency and pledges to follow his rule. Uriel refuses, heading off with his forces into the Maelstrom in search of Lucifer.

## The Iron Age

The Iron Age is the period of time the cosmos is presently in, wherein the Ynochim hold ascendancy over the other pantheons, all of which are bound tightly to their Divine Law. If and when the Iron Age ends, it will be when the shackles of the Ynochim are cast off, and the gods rise again in rebellion against their angelic overlords.
