Sylinia Historical Periods
Sylinia has a long and complicated history. Most races use the timescale originally set out by the Three Moon University and updated by the Dawn College.
Millenniums of the Gods
Before Time - Year 1 Shelar Period
Sometimes referred to as Before Time, The Millenia of the Gods is a pre-documented historical period. According to myth and legends, this was when the Gods still walked upon Sylinia, before they Ascended, never again returning in corporeal form.
As this era is before written historical record begins, any dates are approximate and have been identified through archeological means.
There is much debate in academic communities about exactly how long Sylinia has been inhabited. The only thing that is agreed upon is that the earliest civilizations dawned some time during this period.
