The 1st Age - The Golden Age of the Dwarves
1 AD 1452 AD
Dorûnde is erected deep in the heart of the Carigon Mountains, beneath the mighty Mount Kreiger. Small, nomadic tribes of humans migrate away from the harsher locales of Terram, and settle across the more habitable regions of Hasdall. The first elves settle in the Jade Forest in Northern Hasdall. The dwarves dominate every facet of modern life, the rest of the land dependent on their success. Their journey's down deeper in to the mountain lead to unforeseen dangers that inevitably force them out of their mecca, and to the surface. The Golden Age culminates with the sealing of Dorûn's Gate, and the dwarves refuge to Mineth Emenolïr on the surface. Humans in Hasdall have begun developing characteristically distinct cultural settlements around the continent.

1453 AD 1798 AD
The dwarves have been forced out of the mountains, a mass exodus across the continent. They scatter and begin creating cities on the foothills and in the shadows of the mountain. A large number of dwarves stayed behind, refusing to leave their natural home. They constructed Mineth Emenolïr as a mountainside fortress-city, overlooking the lands of eastern Hasdall, to the sea. Elves, Wrothmen, and humans in the north establish territorial strongholds. The horse lords of the far south claim their lands and establish sprawling settlements. A large number of half-orcs form many separate, vicious tribes, war over distinct territories of land, and occupy the Warlord's March region of western Hasdall.

Representatives from each of the major settlements, as well as the remaining nobility, held tense negotiations for four days, until it was finally decided to unify the north under a single banner.
