This is an approximation of when the world of Atia was created.
History of Atia
Atia is a world that was created by an all-powerful being known simply as the Master Maker. After the creation of the world the Master Maker created the Five Disciples and let them conduct their will within the world. The specifics of this time are lost to time, only myths and legends remain contained in a period known as the Age of Myths. It is thought that most of the known races were created in this Age of Myths. Humans, Dwarves, High Elves, Dragonborns, Merfolk, Giants, Orcs, Gnolls all trace their existence back to this time. Later in the Age of Myths newer, hybrid or adapted races emerged, such as halflings, gnomes, dark elves, wood elves, lizardfolk, tieflings, goblins, kobolds and other more exotic and monstrous races. The only difference was that the Five Disciples had stopped interacting with Atia and disappeared from existence. There is no definitive knowledge of where the Five disappeared or why but the fact remained, the original creators were all gone and the world of Atia was left to fend for itself.

Most of the culture, technology and knowledge of the past was lost, only the bitter memory of wars past remained.
