Third Era

The BeginningAfter the chaotic ending of the Second Era, a new era began.

The first few centuries are marked by the struggle for survival among the various tribes and minor kings attempting to fight off armies of the undead. Battlemages succeeded in containing and harnessing the powers of the elements through what they believe is their just path given to them by their gods in the way of the Val'Maer.

They used this power to defeat the dark forces of the land in northeastern Aldria, but at a terrible price. In the excitement, the battlemages turned on eachother and wrought havoc on the region of Aldria, leaving great craters in their wake. The few accomplishments and technology the people of the Continent had under their belt were destroyed, and the battlemages were nowhere to be seen. A group of humans living in Aldria were forever altered, and their descendants are now known as the Greyfolk.

Recovering

A few decades later, at the turn of the fourth century of the Third Era, battlemages have become a distant memory and the undead an old wive's tale. Favorable climates and the races of the Continent isolated themselves in an attempt to rebuild.

Most of the humans went to Ostendia and the lands surrounding it. Those affected by the terrible consequences of the battlemages, the Greyfolk, stayed in Aldria. The Horndall retreated to their homeland of Utesbken, and the Felkata traveled to the southern areas of Masselon, Le'Tarn, and the Scaly Isles.

While the chaotic nature of the Continent has been decreasing, it is still, for the most part, a lawless and unsettled land, ripe for colonization and the creation of new settlements.
