History of Nataya

    The Era of Tranquility

    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.

    The First Great Turbulence
    Era beginning/end

    The scant records that exist, suggest that three thousand years after the first civilisations began on Nataya (as far back as any recorded history stretches), there was a global geological event. Continents shifted and separated. Volcanos erupted, creating new islands and wiping out some existing civilisations. This created a period of chaos for many years, as people had to relocate, and some cities were entirely wiped out. Some rifts between planes opened, which both added to the chaos as new beings and beasts came through, and also allowed for exploration to these new planes.   Divine Ascension Though records from the time are few, and often thought to be unreliable, it's believed that most of the major deities that currently exist during The Second Calm, initially had significantly less power during The Era of Tranquility, but something occured during the First Great Turbulence that caused their ascension to the level of major divinity that they occupy today.

    The Second Great Turbulence
    Era beginning/end

    After twelve hundred years of geological stablity and peace, the Second Great Turbulence began. There are more definite records of this one. Some oracles and druids and clerics spoke out in the years leading up to it. There may be some evidence of efforts that helped reduce the amount of turmoil. But there was still a ten year period of geological chaos, where tectonic plates shifted, volcanos erupted, and even rifts between plane developed. This was followed by the Second Calm.

    The Second Calm

    The Second Calm began after the Second Great Turbulence and has lasted nearly twelve hundred years so far. Most adventures in Nataya will take place during 1100-1195 SC. Clerics, oracles, and druids began to warn that the Third Great Turbulence is approaching, around 1100 SC. It is expected to begin at around 1200 SC, given the historical pattern.
