History of the Aethergrande
This is a high-level timeline of major events affecting the Aethergrande.
The Sundered Age
... 3000 PHY
A once glorious paradise was destroyed forever, or so many mythologists conclude. The world beneath was thrown asunder, clothed in miasmic energy and turning into the Nethergrande, while what remains of the landmasses hurled into the air turned into the various islands of Anira. Long did disparate tribes of humans and other races cower under the darkness of this age, until the light of Te-O-Dalina shone forth across all who would behold it.

The Dark Age
575 PHY 302 PHY
After the catastrophic fall of Agaletia, the inactivation of its gates, and the disappearance of the island so core to the empire, Anira fell into chaos. Minor lords established nation-states on their home islands. One king after another attempted to establish himself as Agaletia reborn, only to falter. From this age was born desperation, and in turn innovation, which would ultimately lead into the prime mover of the successor nations: Airships.
