World History

The term can be used to refer to things in the past or future, or that are purely conceptual. Increasingly, timelines combine text and graphic as infographics.

Age of Creation

... 249 BC

Describe the uncounted years of mythic time, beginning with the creation of Caelum and ending with the emergence of mortal races upon its face. It was a time when the deities of Caelum played a much more active role than they do today. It was during the Age of Creation that the great battle started.

    Darkness
    Era beginning/end

    Fall!   You are alone. There is only darkness for you, and death for your people. Your ancient life is just the beginning, you will collapse under the death of the universe and I will sail beyond your worlds. I will sail until every light has been extinguished, you are strong. But I am beyond your strength, I am the end, I have come for you. On the end of a collapse star.   Within your new home, shall darkness prevail or shall light expire, a pale and grim fate, for one being was created within, or persists till the end of space and time, born from the end of a universe will you continue to prevail or let all light expire.

    The Birth of New Light
    Celestial / Cosmic

    “Sometimes life is scary and dark. That is why we must find the light.”     Long ago, people lived in peace, bathed in the warmth of light. Everyone loved the light. Then people began to fight over it. They wanted to keep it for themselves. And darkness was born in their hearts. The darkness spread, swallowing the light and many people's hearts. It covered everything, and the world disappeared. But small fragments of light survived... in the hearts of worlds. With these fragments of light, they rebuilt the lost world. It's the world we live in now. But the true light sleeps deep within the darkness. That's why the worlds are still scattered, divided from each other. But someday, a door to the innermost darkness will open. And the true light will return.   Birthed by the wish of a dying star, gathered in all that lets darkness overfill you. This higher being was the only light to ever exist while the worlds pulled into darkness.

    Birth of New Gods
    Founding

    These gods, born from the clash and the selected appraisal of the New Gods, forged them under the galaxies they clashed to be created. Either those of rules or rulership to those within the cosmos and the maintenance of the divine principle. From order, truth, justice, law and order that puts gods, mortal pharaohs, and ordinary individuals into their rightful places.   It is said that within everyone there is a spark of wild that lurks within every single soul, a space that thrills on the element that they call to or to the very beings that existed within the universe. They are made of strength from the cosmos or the bodies of gods that died before, reincarnated into a whole new being that will serve a different purpose.   These gods created the principle of the pantheon, ripped apart from different worlds and different homes, they all came to exist under this new one, learning the new abilities they have all been blessed with.

Creating levels and areas of where mortals came to be with the Age that brought the races to the world. Where would they end up, would they make deals, was all this in revenge for what happened all those millennia ago.   These creations, not inherently evil but born through raw emotion, they would utilise the mortal souls and believed to gain power from many different sources as a way to break out of the prison that he had grow to adapt and build.   They were considered not friendly to Material Plane and were seen to have harmed or corrupted the area outside. They were forced to utilise the mortal souls in order to adapt and change, they existed within the Underworld within the Plane that circled the Abyss within, the darkest known depths of the plane where no light or darkness existed.   Due to the Raw emotion that was made to create them, they were known to be prone to extreme violence, cruelty and malice - they delight in war, the suffering of others brings them equal joy and they desire nothing short of the destruction of all things, valuing nothing save brutal strength, which is the only means to truly control them. However, there were some events where this didn’t quite happen and cracks showed throughout the surface.

    Followers of Faith
    Religious event

    Religion is an important part of life in the world of Caelum. When gods walk the world, clerics channel divine power, evil cults perform dark sacrifices in subterranean lairs, and shining paladins stand like beacons against the darkness, it's hard to be ambivalent about the deities and deny their existence.   With the birth of creations of humanity, there were many races and places that gods could come to being and with each worship the god grew stronger. Many individuals have a favourite among the gods, one whose ideals and teachings they make their own. A few people dedicate themselves entirely to a single god, usually serving as the priest or champion of that god’s ideals

    Rise of Devils
    Disaster / Destruction

    Daimore, having been banished to the realm of the underworld sort to create and develop his land. Creating levels and areas of where mortal came to be with the Age that brought the races to the world.   These creatures resided within the Nine Hells of the Underworld, but it is aking to 12 rings due to the first devil creations. It embodies evil and law above all else, a race that was created to be made with intelligence and craftiness.   This makes Devils natural bullies, slavers and taskmasters who seek conquest and oppression but do so in a methodical pattern - they will make deals with others (as long as the deals are in their own favor) and obey the orders of those stronger than themselves, at least until they can find a means to gain power themselves (again, within the "rules" of lawful evil).

It infected magical portals, planar gates, their was no escape for the world, it was even said to have created the first death of the universe but something changed.   The Spellplague affected the landscape, making the ground rumble and heave up and down like the surface of the sea. Curtains of purple flame swept the landscape, reshaping the land by cutting crevasses or lifting and sculpting the plain into hills and ridges. Shards of earth wrenched themselves free and became earthmotes and many different places within the planes began to be affected from the Sea of Shadow to the Plane of Sky, with perhaps the creations of new ones.
