EUCLIDEAN PREHISTORY
Neolithic Tribes of Humans, Beastthings, and other hybrid horrors migrate across the globe, fight petty wars, and plant the sees for future civilizations. -
2000 BCE
THE CROSSING OF THE WHITES
Erdevan historians generally attribute the first human migrations over the White Mountains to somewhere between 2000-2500 years ago, although the veracity of these claims is nebulous at best. -
Period: 1999 BCE to 1000 BCE
THE DRACONIC ERA
The period in which Eredeva was ruled (read as dominated by apex predator) by the race of Dragons, large, scaled, and utterly alien monsters that could fly through the sky and breathe fire. Humans had achieved Bronze Age parity, although the other races were lagging somewhat. -
1500 BCE
THE COLONIZATION OF ILLABON
Supposedly between 1600 and 1500 years before the founding of the Empire, the Altari crossed the Great Sea, from their homeland of Old Altaria, landing on and colonizing the island that would become Illabon. -
1000 BCE
THE LANDING
According to Altari records, the first Altari Shiplords landed on the shores of Eredeva on a date often calculated as 1000 BE, although the so-called "Skeptics" reject this well-rounded date, preferring to argue that the Altari probably landed anywhere in a five-year range. -
Period: 999 BCE to 900 BCE
THE GREAT WAR
Otherwise known as "The War of Dragons and Elves" (although I will try to avoid using elf because it makes no sense in the universe and is a generic term) the Great War saw the Altari Empire send vast hosts across the Great Sea, with ships landing on Eredeva's shores, both as conquerors and as colonizers. Although the Dragons were much more powerful individually, the Altari, unlike the Dragons or all Humans up to this point, possessed powerful magic that allowed them to destroy the dragon race.
