Little is documented before the events of the First Great Turbulence, but it's believed that most people's lived in relative peace and civilisations bloomed and developed. Resources were plentiful, and arcane innovation soared. Most, if not all of the main deities in The Second Calm are thought to have had significantly less power during this era, either being more localised, or having a more niched area of influence, before their power blossomed during The First Great Turbulence.
