The Unpredicted Peace

Cultural event

"A new Beginning..."

Despite the fires and rage of the past generations the Second Age began with something no one truly expected: peace.   With years of war and turmoil all too familiar many Fallen Cities and the kingdoms around them adopted a policy of isolationism or “live and let live”.   While minor skirmishes and border scrapes were not unheard of this was a time of remarkable tranquility. Many of the Younger Races lived and died in an era where there was no war, and no widespread oppression.   This is not to say life was easy however, food was scarcer and order less common. But farmers tended their fields and scholars plied their craft without worry of an army arriving at any minute, and the largest worry was local bandits, not insane Elven Kings.   If I were to speculate, how historians record this era of time is probably more akin to what “The Chaos” was actually like, seeing as not many Elven scholars could embellish the chaos of this period due to being so out of favor or dead.
