Ages and Eras
Idur's history is categorized and tracked through a system of Ages. The current timeline ranges from -5000 BR (efore The Rift) - 1372 AR (after The Rift). The current ages and eras are in order as follows: The Nothing, First Age, Dark Era, and Second Age.
The First Age is divided into two sections, Pre-war and Thousand Year War. The Weaver's first iteration of civilization, constructed alongside their children, the Leviathans, and primordial spirits known as Aione, inhabited Idur on the supercontinent Talminari. Teeming with life and jumpstarted by Torei with the power of adaptation, the world grew quickly and undaunted.
The Pre-war period is the 4000 years of peace. During this time The Weaver and Leviathans were present on Idur, influencing the people and helping them develop the world. As the mortals became more and more sufficient on their own, the time came for The Weaver and Leviathans to retreat from the mortal plane, with the Leviathans each leaving behind a deity in their place. These deities would become known as the Elder Dragons, who eventually would spawn the dragons and draconic race on Idur. However, this retreat of the Titans of Creation would lead to the darkest conflict in Idur's history.
The Thousand Year War is the conflict fought between the mortals of Idur, and the Demon King Thastridoz' army from Kalderas, or Everdark.
The Dark Era is what current scholars use to refer to the time between The Rift and civilization resurfacing. Unfortunately not much is known about this period as it has been mostly lost, with sparingly few accounts of the events that transpired there. Legends and folk stories have been spun up of wondrous magicks, fantastical beasts, but also of hellfire and the final days of violence following the war. Relics from this period are extremely rare, and are said to hold incredible properties due to being touched by The Weaver during the world's reconstruction.
The Second Age is the current era of history for Idur. A relatively peaceful start, the first 900 years are spent settling the new continents, Loreheim, Mistveil, and Qizdraen. With some colonization and expansion sparking potential conflict around year 1026.
