The History of Theros

The Over-arching history of the world of Theros

The Titanomachy

Before Time Existed - Beginning of Time

An Age of Chaos, where the Titans ruled over the primordial elements. This age ended with the creation of Kruphix, and therefore time, space and reality itself.

The First Theogony (The Kruphixiad)

Beginning of Time - ???

The beginning of time, reality and fate. The Titans' creations were repurposed to form Theros, and Kruphix observed all. This Age ended with the creation of humanoid life, and with it Destiny.

The Second Theogony (The Heliad)

??? - ???

This Age started with the creation of the humanoid races, with much disagreement about who came first and by which divinity life began. What is agreed is that The Heliad was marked by the birth of Heliod, who ruled over a collection of other gods, from his throne in Nyx.

The Traxiad

??? - ???

This Age represents the time during which the Archons of Trax ruled Theros. It was a time of great advances in Philosophy and Technology, with the Archons having a mastery of both Sorcery and Science, and a supreme self-confidence. However, outside of the Traxian Imperium's borders, The Traxiad saw the propagation of entire kingdoms ruled by Giants, Gorgons and Demons. Dragons and Krakens are also said to have grown to immense size, and legends tell of The Archons of Trax leading Legions of Leonin soldiers to fight off armies of foul monsters. Many races remember this as an age of oppression, with the Traxians claiming to be the only protection the "Lesser Races" had against oblivion, and using this as justification for the enslavement of entire civilisations to their will.

The Third Theogony (The Poleiad)

??? - ???

The Fall of Agnomachos, The Archons, and their Traxian Imperium, left a tempting power vacuum, as well as groups of humanoids with no protection from the hordes of monstrosities roaming the lands of Theros. Into this vacuum arose "The Poleis" - City states ruled by the peoples of Theros.

The Age of Heroes

??? - 0NA

The uncounted centuries since the end of the Akro-Meletian War have been marked by the exploits of great heroes, many of which are recorded in works of epic prose and poetry. Three major narratives remain widely retold and studied: "The Akroan War", "The Callapheia" and "The Theriad".
