Ages of Dohmunderiah

There are several different ages in which the historical timeline of Dohmunderiah is separated into. Ages come about when a significant event takes place, and end when events dictate the original starting event as irrelevant or otherwise insignificant in comparison to a new factor, such as the coming or leaving of a deity, the mass extinction of a species or race, severe natural events or disasters, human catastrophes, technological or cultural advancements, and many others.

The age in which the calendar is invented and recording of human history begins is referred to as the Age of Origins. This age is quite short and does not hold many events until the next age, called the Age of Exploration takes place, beginning with a large migration of the human race.. All events regarding the human race of Dohmunderiah that take place before the Age of Origins is categorized in the Pre-Calendaral Age.

## Age of Origins(1-581)

Most attempts at colonizing in early humans ended in clans banding together and waging war against one another over territories lush in wildlife and vegetation. This was consistent across the globe until many began to practice farming and gardening, highly reducing warfare and violence between competing clans. Some groups of early humans flourished much more than others and established early villages and settlements, most notable of which is Chrönicle Dauer, the oldest established city known to us. Other major settlements in the area began to take hold shortly after, such as Amarence and Eva Aurorius. Not long after this, the nation of Henahvir was established under the ruler Krelhetta, who is regarded as the first modern king, although he never held that exact title. Under Krelhetta's reign, the calendar came into use, which established a system of days, months, and years, and would be adopted globally much later in history.

## Age of Exploration (582-643)

Although there were small civilizations throughout Domunderiah long before the Age of Exploration to utilize long-distance ships, such as the Henahvirians, it was the Ancient Kellerians that began intercontinental migrations. After a few years of establishing routes through memory, the Ancient Kellerians began establishing small settlements in lands away from their own. The reason for this migration, while not entirely confirmed, lies within the inevitable occurrence of desertification. The now dry and sandy continent of Kellerian once gave home to large rolling green grasslands, lush swamps and marshes, large freshwater lakes, and forests of immense size and diversity.

Seeing as how all of this took place long, long before and forms of written histories or communications had been developed, it is very unclear as to what drove these explorers to choose the paths to row their ships to. It can be assumed that the travelers caught on to the movements of birds flying north, in attempt to return to their original homes in the break of the budding season. This, or the travelers could have simply made complete guesses, hoping that there would be land elsewhere within these large watery expanses capable of sustaining their livelihoods. Whichever it may be, these adventurers began to shape history as we know it as soon as they pushed their boats off of the old shores of Kellerian.
Logically, Eldaragest was the first of the foreign lands to be inhabited, seeing as it is the closest of the seven other continental lands to the one of Kellerian.  The small continent of Eldaragest offered many resources to the settlers, especially from its vast amount of rivers and open access to the seas around it. However, the small land area of Eldaragest caused the settlers to soon move further east and north, eventually allowing them to discover the continents we know today as Shotamria, Bryuland, and of course, Radorah.

Not long after the mass expansion of the Kellerian people began, the Henahvirians began to take exploration much more seriously, and began populating the islands of the Dionysian Archipelago. At this same time, the Arlemunians came into contact with the Kellerians within Eldaragest, with whom they sailed north to settle in Radorah. Only about two years after this, the Henahvirians also landed in Radorah and expanded even further north into the Hanarikar Lands. After these expansions, many different cultures had began to blend, befriend, and compete with one another, leading into the Age of Societies by year 644.
