Aeons / Eras
Overview
Aeons can vary in exact lengths of time, from 5 to 25 thousand years in length, and are ended by significant, universal events.
Current Aeon; Third.
Description Aeons represent monumental spans of time in the Aina Continuum, each marked by significant, universal events that reshape the world and its inhabitants. The concept of Aeons reflects the belief in an ever-evolving world, with each Aeon bringing about profound changes, advancements, and sometimes cataclysmic events. The length of an Aeon varies, but each ushers in a new era of history, culture, and understanding for the people of the Aina Continuum.
The First Aeon was a time of creation and birth, a period during which the world and its numerous planes came into existence. This Aeon was marked by the emergence of the gods, the formation of the material planes, and the appearance of the first sentient beings. The end of the First Aeon was brought about by a monumental event that led to the reorganization of the cosmic hierarchy and the establishment of new divine orders.
The Second Aeon was characterized by the growth of civilizations, the development of complex societies, and the expansion of magical knowledge. During this time, the inhabitants of the Aina Continuum began to harness the power of the elements and learn the secrets of the universe. This Aeon came to a close with a massive conflict that ravaged the world and forever altered the balance of power among the gods and mortals.
The current Third Aeon is an age of recovery and rediscovery, as the people of the Aina Continuum strive to rebuild their world and uncover the lost knowledge of previous Aeons. This period has seen the rise of new empires, the exploration of uncharted lands, and the reawakening of ancient powers. It is a time of hope and uncertainty, as the inhabitants of the Aina Continuum look to the future while grappling with the legacy of the past.
The concept of Millennia further refines the structure of time within each Aeon, dividing these vast epochs into more manageable periods of one thousand years. Millennia are organized into groups of five, with each millennium named after one of the elements: Zer (Earth), Mar (Water), Malo (Fire), Ger (Air), and Thia (Light). This division reflects the fundamental importance of the elements in the Aina Continuum and their role in shaping the world's history.
The Zer (Earth) Millennia are periods of stability and growth, with the focus on the development of infrastructure, agriculture, and physical resources. The people of the Aina Continuum during this time often experience prosperity and expansion, as they harness the power of the earth to build cities, roads, and monuments that stand as testaments to their achievements.
The Mar (Water) Millennia are characterized by the ebb and flow of emotions, as well as the nurturing of creativity and the arts. The inhabitants of the Aina Continuum during these periods often turn their attention to poetry, music, and the exploration of the depths of the mind and soul. The Mar Millennia are also times of spiritual awakening, with the people seeking to understand the mysteries of the universe and their place within it.
The Malo (Fire) Millennia represent periods of transformation and upheaval, with the world of the Aina Continuum being reshaped by great conflagrations, both literal and metaphorical. These millennia are marked by revolutions, wars, and the rise and fall of empires, as the people struggle to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of their world. However, the Malo Millennia are also times of incredible innovation, as new ideas and technologies are forged in the crucible of conflict.
The Ger (Air) Millennia are times of enlightenment and the pursuit of knowledge, as the inhabitants of the Aina Continuum turn their gaze towards the skies and the secrets they hold. During these periods, the
