Timeline of Aeros

This is one of those posts that’s for me, recording things about my world no one needs to know. Sorry about that. Gameable content coming soon.

0 A.S.: The Iron Treaty is signed. The Godswars are over.

0-729 A.S.: The cosmos is organized and stabilized. Ragnarok is created as a demonic prison, Inferno as the panopticon of Ragnarok, the dead souls congregate in Hades, and Olympus and Valhalla are the homes of the “good” gods and their virtuous chosen.

729 A.S.: Meanwhile, as the mortals are left to their own devices, the giants assert supremacy on Aeros, creating the Osterhaargen Empire.

1243 A.S.: In Kaz, the Dracophaerus Pact is signed. The humans ally with the dragons, and the Giant-Dragon-Human wars begin.

1346 A.S.: The giants, in fear of rekindling a war so great as the Godswars, meet with leaders of the Dracophaerus Conclave to arrange a treaty. The Ordning is created, codifying the terms of the treaty between the giants, dragons and humans. (Over time, Ordning has become synonymous with giant law.) This includes non-hostility between human nations and giant nations by default, the stipulation that dragons and humans cannot reunite against the giants again, and the constraint of giant-only lands to specific regions.

1347 A.S.: After the threat of the giants dissipates, the Age of Kings begins. Humans, elves and dwarves begin constructing empires and arcana that will last millenia, including a massive cross-dimensional biomachine called the Doors that connected the world in cheap and easy portals.

2026 A.S.: Doorfall. The Age of Kings comes to a close as the Doors shut down, reason unknown. The world stops being connected, and spends the last of its greatest magics fighting off the creatures that tried to hijack the Doors to enter our reality. The Age of Kings is over, the world is no longer united, and empires have fallen with the Doors.

2029 A.D/3 A.D.: The Free North is the first nation to fully reconstruct from Doorfall. This empire is hailed as the “greatest triumph of the Age of Heroes”.

4220 A.S./2194 A.D.: About the present day.
