The union of disjointed clergy in Nivlan occurred approximately some few hundred years before Genesis. This founding established the covenant that would go on to form the Eon Holy Church. With the Exploration Age, Eonism became further entrenched in Nivlan and spread north to Arnan.

The Genesis of History
Era beginning/endWith the construction of Hyn's Library, the sages of the primeval world combined their knowledge and began the first era of recorded histories.

Elarus
Dwarven Age
1 AG 5200 AG
The dwarves were the first to take advantage of open trade between races. In an act of pride, their peoples smote the dragons from the high peaks and dark caves that they would make their kingdoms. While the magic-impotent dwarves sat on high thrones, the sages of Elarus honed their craft on the arcane knowledge that would diverge into techmaturgy and thaumaturgy.

Death of Dannuzag, Emperor of Dragons
Life, DeathOften cited as the dwarves' greatest hunt, the dragon lord of a nameless domain fell to the spears and axes of dwarven heroes that would become legends. This enabled easier development of land in the Dorthas region of Arnan, and coaxed lesser dragons away from Balderdash.
Progression Age
5201 AG 5700 AG
At the dawn of the aptly named age, science and philosophy began to see practical applications in everyday life. Steam machines, coal power, alchemy, and many dwarven secrets of the crafts became public knowledge and use. Some arcane technologies were employed, and northern society took advantage of a land rich with resources.

Invention of Airships
Technological achievementSteam power and clever engineering made small vessels previously meant for the water a luxury of the air for the especially wealthy. Airships were later used for trade, although their maintenance and operations cost a premium over their mundane counterparts.
Exploration Age
5701 AG 6300 AG
With the expansion of the north came the need for more land and resources to fuel the studies in Elarus. Airships became popular among the prosperous, the eastern continent was discovered and colonized, and the warriors of Dorthas quelled the ancient north.

Outlaw of Thaumaturgical Practice
Diplomatic actionThe arcane and chaotic nature of modern thaumaturgy caused it to be deemed unsafe and even called heretical by the Church. There came a day when the Church's ordersmen began the purging of stubborn magic users in secret.
Techmaturgy Age
6301 AG and beyond
The diminishing use of raw thaumaturgy in favour of stable techmaturgies lead to a furtive culling of magic users across Toran. However, driven researchers began to build techmaturgical apparatuses that could stably harness thaumaturgical evocations. Thus begins an age of state-funded arcane development.
