Era of the first men

200000 BP 5000 BP

After the Deacansi (or Council of the Gods), it was decided than the god Abon Shabai will be the supreme leader of all the gods. He created men and elves and give them wisdom in order of them to survive and prosper. This era lasted until a new race of men the heroes children of gods and mortals with extraordinary cualities appeared

    humans discovered bronce
    Scientific achievement

    Take the bright golden sword with you , and, in order to please Heaven, open with it the container of the fluid of life and offer it to the Inmortals so may them bless you with prosperity and victory over your enemies
    Bahir i Vastam (Book of Wisdom), chant 29 , Seris sacred texts (written ca. 295 BP)
    It is believed that in an space of three millenia mankind developed the use of bronce for creating tools and weapons. This process wasn't simultaneous. For example in the western corner of the continent of Theria it seems they started to use bronce around the year 8900 BP, while in the Kallian Plains and the Peninsula of Morya it use is attested around the year 6200 BP. In contrast, on the other side of the known world, in the continent of Karya the use of bronce is attested in 9000 BP in the far East of the continent, but this wasn't the case in the west part of the continent until six millenia later. The use of bronce revolutionized agriculture and warfare and its discovery coincided with the establishment of the first organized societies on the planet. We do know that the Elves were producing tools and weapons with this metal, but it is unknown if they learned the techniques from the humans or if they have this technology before them.

    Humans occupy the Kallian plains
    Population Migration / Travel

    The Kallian planes (where the great city of Blati is now located), are one of the most fertile lands in the continent of Theria. For thousands of years it had been the home of numerous tribes of elves. Their communities thrived because of the trade between the Realm of the Western Elves ( a predecessor of the actual Kingdom of the Elves) in the South and the Kingdom of the White Elves to the north, in the Albinian Mountains. Around the year 6000 BP groups of humans belonging to a pre- Arkadian culture migrated from the other side of the mountains and started to settle alongside the river founding the first human settlements in the area. Nothing is known about their relation with the Elves. The Book of the Heroes , in chapter 11, tells us the story of king Neseus, grandson of the goddess Dulia (the goddess of Nature) who was mixted raced, beeing his father a human, Agneus, son of the goddess, and his mother, Pruyn, an elf,implying that marriage between both races was accepted, but the book also tells us that king Neseus was in war with the city of Marwayn who still exists in the current era, and it is on the border of the territory of the humans, suggesting that there may also be hostilities between humans and some elven tribes.   This migration ans settlement of the humans broke the territorial unity that the Elves had had in the south-east of the continent, finally dividing the lands control by this race.

Dark Age

4880 BP 2427 BP

This era is not well attested in the world's history, but we do know that it witnessed the formation of most of the nations that were the ancestors of the cultures we know today, for example the Davidovian peoples, ancestor of the Ikarians, Seris, Oronai...etc)

    Birth and formation of the Davidovian peoples
    Population Migration / Travel

    According to mythology the hero Davidion, king of the area of the Great Lake, who fought in the siege of Dorstulon, the city of the ten walls, famous for killing the king Lerimeus of Zophron, had 4 sons: Ikarus, Lodaimos, Kushi and Arsi, each one of them formed his own tribe, in the region previously ruled by his father. After a terrible drought they have to flee, Ikarus fled south and became the ancestor of the Ikarians (and by extension of the Blatians) and the Oronai. Lodaimos travelled also south and became the ancestor of the Kallian peoples. His brother Arsi went north, and his tribe became the Crorai people, and finally Kushi crossed the Suris Straight and became the ancestor of the Seris people.
    Historians of our age can't really say if the myth is true or not, although it may have some historical accuracy. What we do know its that all this nations share a common pantheon on gods (but with different names in each one of those realms), that their languages also have a common ancestry and speakers of these languages can sometimes, not always, understand each other because of the similarity of words and grammar. Some customs may have a common origin, for example we know that all davidovian peoples use bronce objects in their sacrifices as they consider it to be a sacred material reserve only for performing this kind of rituals or the fact that they all make libations to their gods, as it appears that this wasn't a custom of the indigenous peoples of the areas they settle in.     It is believed that the first humans that populated the region of the Kallian plains since around 6000 BP were conquered and assimilated around 2400 BP by the Kallian people, from whose language only a few words and sentences survived, but they are clearly from the davidovian family of languages. The ancestors of the Ikarians and Oronai settled in the area behind the Great Mountains and the west of the Peninsula of Morya, to the north , the Cronai settle in the area close to the Nords while the Seris crossed the straight of Suris and established their realm on the other side, becoming, until the establishment of the Republic of Valia, to be the easternmost of the Davidovian peoples.

    Appearance of the first alphabets
    Cultural event

    According to Elvish and Davidovian mythologies it was the god Abbon Shabai himself, who descended from heavens and tought the elf bard Niekoyinn the art of creating simbols for writting words. According to the Leith Weloiyen or (Wisdom of the Gods), one of the seven sacred books of the Elvish Religion: The god tell the bard:
    "I, Abbon Shabai, supreme ruler of the gods, who is all wisdom and mercy, i teach you know the sacred simbols with which the gods communicate between them, as it is my wish for the humans to read and remember the wisdom and power of the inmortals in order to praise us and acknowledge our power over the universe"
    After this the bard spread the new simbols of the gods to every corner of the world, according to mythology. In a space of centuries, every culture had his own alphabet, believed to be originated from this very same alphabet that the god tought to the bard.
    Historically speaking, the first alphabets seem to be created by the elves communities across the world around this period and this alphabets may have been adopted and change by their human neighbours. During centuries it is believed that the reading and writing were something only priest could do, as it was believed that they have the wisdom of the  gods in them, but, centuries later writing started to be used in a more.. civilian context, mainly for administration purposes for the first kingdoms and empires in the continents of Karia and Teria.

    From city states and petty kings to King of Kings: Creation of the Seris Empire
    Political event

    The sons of Kushi were divided until the noble king Arsakes, blessed be his name, unite us all into a unified state and he and his inmediate descendants ruled us with great wisdom and piety. And prosperity came to this fertile land, for it had pleased the inmortal gods that the sons of pious Kushi were now one body and with one voice they praised the gods, and with one single arm defeated their enemies.
    Talymas of Ankradia, The Book of the Kings, Book 2 chapter 2, (written around 45 BP)
    After crossing the Straight of Suris, the Seris people founded many cities and kingdoms, but they failed to unify their lands. War was common among them, only uniting themselves in case of foreign invasion. This situation lasted for centuries until the year 659 BP when King Arsakes, ruler of the kingdom of Ytarym conquer all the independent seris states and was proclaimed "King of Kings". He was the creator of the administrative and political systems of the new empire. Dividing the conquered land into provinces called satrapies, each one ruled by a member of the royal family or people that the king trusted. Arsaces enforced the centralization of the government, centered in its capital, Sakouramish. His dinasty brought peace and stability to the realm for hundreds or years, and with him one of the great powers of the world was born. After his dead, he was worship as a demi-god, believed to have been sent by the god Abbina (Abbon Shabai for the Blatians).
