History & Time

Almost entirely forgotten in history, there existed five ages that the world has passed through.

First, there was the Dawn Age. Time before calendars, when the gods walked among their creations, teaching them how to produce art and live peaceably.

Second, there was the God War Age. A time of war ignited by the gods (Death, Decay, Disease) who attempted to convince the other divine that their creations were too weak, just like they themselves were. At a certain point, however, this ended with the creation of the Divine Wall, which sealed Death, Decay, and Disease inside it, bound for eternity to be observed by six other divine beings—Craft, Growth, Health, Life, Memory, and Purity—known as the Watchers. The other eighteen deities were sealed behind the wall and were never to cross the land again.

Then there was the Divine Wall Age, a period of progress characterized by the divine coming first, and science later taking center stage. Then the world became a technological wonder, with people barely scraping by amid the haves and have-nots. Then the cultists of bound gods attacked the world in a surprise effort to set their captive patrons free.

This began the Second God War, or the Shattered War, as historians recently termed it. The fourth age is called the Shattered War Age, when technology was doing everything, to the point that it almost freed the Bound. That was until the Watchers shook the Divine Wall, sending shockwaves through it and into the ley line network that encircled the planet, which sent a ripple that broke down the continent of Elythria into two. It had 2 effects: It ended the Shattered War and reminded people that the gods were real.

Fifth age: the current age is the Shattered Land Age, only 37 years after the war ended; the older generation remembers those days. But to the newer generation of adults, it is something earlier generations talked about as an acknowledgment that gods are real, and that technology might not be all it’s cracked up to be.
