The Various Ages

The Various Ages is an umbrella term describing the many ages which the Centre has gone through.

In general, the Ages last on average about 500 years, but there is much variation. The Ages are all being recorded and kept standardised by the Celian Church which invented them in the first place to be able to categorise their history easier.

The Ages are, of course, not just arbitrary time periods, no, each Age has a year assigned to it to show around when it started and around when it ended.

The current year is: 4030 s.a.

The letters s.a. stand for "Sapienntia Annis" which loosely translates to "Years of Wisdom" in Old Ordian.

The Various Ages are:


 * Age of Disaster: ? - 10
 * Age of Wisdom: 10 - 1600
 * First Age of Learning: 1600 - 1900
 * Age of Exploration: 1900 - 2500
 * Age of Decline: 2500 - 2900
 * Age of Conquest: 2900 - 3120
 * Age of Dominion: 3120 - 3250
 * Age of Collapse: 3250 - 3600
 * Second Age of Learning: 3600 - 4000
 * 3782 was when the last Elven ships arrived.

The first age is the Age of Disaster. Not much is known of that age for all records of that time period have been lost. The religions of the Centre tell of a great calamity that occurred then, their definitions of what that calamity was differ but the common themes are a great loss of life and viscious neverending thunderstorms.

The second age is the Age of Wisdom, where it is said that a great amount of knowledge was recovered after the "Disaster", again many religious scriptures disagree on what really happened or what caused it but most tell of a return of a great god or something akin to that.

The third is the First Age of Learning
