Timeline
First Era
The first era was a time when only three gods existed - Elethaor, Verenha and Mahacos - who existed as complementary energies in an infinite void.
In time, Elethaor came to hold a grand vision for the nothingness: to take this lifeless, empty void and fill it with energy. Tendrils of weird energy began to creep into the void at Elethaor's will, ever shifting and assembling themselves into the fabric of the universe.
While Verenha was fascinated by the weird energy, Mahacos feared it. He sought to marshal the chaos, preventing this act of creation from becoming an act of great destruction.
Second Era
The second era was characterised by the creation of many new gods, each designed to further the original three deities' visions for the universe.
- Muana is created by Elethaor and Verenha, to help weave the Weird Energy.
- Tantus is born of Mahacos, to aid in marshalling the chaos.
- Tantus begins to breathe life, sentience and emotion into the fabric of Elethaor's creation, contrary to their allotted purpose.
- Mahacos creates Nuul, to shepherd the souls created by Tantus who had become lost in the chaos.
- Nuul creates the first discrete plane of existence, a refuge for lost souls.
- Lyberan is created by Mahacos, as a champion of freedom.
- Lyberan returns large swathes of Elethaor's chaos to the void, in protest against Elethaor keeping their only child, Muana, as a mindless slave cast out amongst the chaos.
- Tantus grants sentience to Muana.
- Muana expresses their new-found will and emotion in a passionate rage, and in so doing accidentally creates the Material Planes.
- Torum is created by Elethaor to bring Lyberan to justice, but Verenha ensures that Torum is truly just and fair, in an attempt to appease Mahacos.
- Verenha and Elethaor create Duevalar, who was tasked with creating a new form of life on the Material Planes, inspired by Tantus' creation.
Third Era
The third era began when the deities born in the second era began to bring forward a new generation of gods.
- Jenefir is born of Nuul's fascination with the emotion exhibited by Tantus' creation.
- Atun is created by Torum in an attempt to quell Lyberan's ongoing rebellion.
- Yeulas and Daiwen are created by Duevalar, to aid in the creation of sentient life on the Material Planes.
- Sylfaen is created by Tantus and Muana, and given dominion over the Feywild, which should represent joy and the energy of life.
- Varia is created by Nuul, to protect the Prime Material Plane from the Shadowfell's dark energy.
- Orytha was created by Muana and Tantus as a symbol of change in the Material Planes, to keep Muana's creation active and alive.
- Varia is corrupted by the Shadowfell's dark energy.

- A final major migration of Yeula, who would become known as Gwerians land in Nurfel, to the east.
- Those remaining in Shuul will become known as the Suyerin.
- A new prime deity, Salqua, is created by Duevalar and Lyberan, to help preserve the wilderness in the material planes from the rapid expansion of the Yeula.
- Duevalar raises the mountains of Auriin to save the Dueva from the Underdark's influence.
- The last prime deity, Lys, is born of Tantus and Verenha, designed to master the volatile elemental chaos. Lys would go on to develop the art of Arcana.
Fifth Era

- Two of Gordiern's six dukes, Aschanes and Horsus, revolt against him, causing a schism in the Taspian Empire.
- Gordiern ascends Mount Emrys to forge a pact with the dragon Ruanil.
- Ruanil and his children lay waste to much of Aschanes and Horsus's land. Myrdin is driven mad after witnessing such devastation.
- The dragon Beithir stands up to Ruanil once more, thus beginning the War of Dragons.
- A clan of Suyerin people flee Shuul, sailing up the Ezheras Gulf and settling in the Vyndingeld Pass, where they will become the Bunrwo people.
- The Taspian Empire collapses. While the dragons continue their war over a desolated Shuul, most of the Suyerin people have fled to the mainland, or died.
