Revision as of 06:19, 8 July 2007

The Timeline for the Domains of Divinity campaign setting is listed in chronological order from top to bottom (the earliest events first, the most recent at the bottom). For a more detailed account, please read the history.

Pre-History

Gods Age

Year Event
-- The gods are born, exact details dependent on the religion.
-- There are hints of ancient conflicts between the gods, before the creation of Eirn
-- The gods enter a time of creation and experimentation.
-- Kharm is found to have experimented with the creation of Life.
-- Eons long discussion of what to do about the concept of Life.
-- The Pact is made, and Eirn is created. Gelanie inhabits Eirn. Eirn was possibly created by Gelanie or Kharm depending on Elven and Dwarven philosophy, respectively.

Age of Dawn

Year Event
150-20 mya In a relatively short period of time (by earth geological clock standards) plants, animals, [archosaurs], and finally dinosaurs are created by the gods.
20 mya The Age of Dawn ends as the first sentient creatures, precursors to modern dragons are born.

Age of Dragons

Year Event
20 mya Most of the large dinosaurs are eradicated by the ancient dragons.
18 mya Dragons begin to take on slightly different colorations, to better fit their surroundings.
15 mya The location and diet of dragons changes coloration even further, different personalities begin to emerge, leaning toward different alignments.
10 mya Modern chromatic and metallic are fully formed. The Dragonwar takes place.
~10-1 mya Sometime during this era, the first primitive humanoids emerge. Many races hold that theirs was first, and most beloved by the gods, and some claim to have existed during the Dragonwar, though the dragons themselves deny any possibility of humanoid life during this bloody war.

Age of Elves

The exact dates of events in the Age of Elves is largely unknown, but elven family trees can be used to trace back to certain events with some accuracy. Written and oral histories can pinpoint the length of certain events, but the long elven lifespan means that thousands of years may transpire between events, and elves did not record years until after the coming of humans. Events are presented in chronological and generational order. (Exact dates to be added).

Year Event
-- Wandering elven tribes begin to settle down, learning music.
1 Eilendi, an early Wild Sorcerer sneaks into the lair of Sslithlila (DOD Historical Figure) and witnesses her use of Sorcery, and hones it to an art.
10 Eilendi introduces magic to her tribe, and with this power, begins her quest to unite the elven tribes.
20 As many as 10 elven tribes found Eilendaria, and Eilendi becomes the leader.
20 As some tribes resist the growing influence of Eilendaria, skirmishes occur between elves, and the first elven blood is spilled by kin. It is said that Ethelian wept, causing a night of shooting stars, after the battle.
20 More tribes join with Eilendi, while others form a loose alliance to ward off the growing power of Eilendaria. More battles are fought. The first goblins are discovered by both sides.
10 The city of Eilendaria begins building its first defenses to ward off continued goblin raids. The elves opposed to Eilendi's influence travel west, trying to escape conflict with their bretheren as well as the goblins. They are led by Llarelderad, an experienced huntsman.
100 The Goblin War begins when outlying settlements allied under Eilendi are burned to the ground by raiders from the Whitecrest mountains. During this time, the elves united under Llarelderad settle in the woods along the western shore of what is now Haladan, naming themselves the Lir'Vari - People of the Woods.
