Creation Era

 

Year 0

The world of Aethyr is created, along with the elements and every creature that populates it nowadays.

Dragons, created by the Celestials, naturally group up per their element and biome, always under the guidance of the wisest or strongest.

The Celestials keep watch over their creations, nudging them indirectly in the right direction and helping them all thrive in harmony. They contact mortals through the Divine, a dragon whose abilities allow them to listen to the Celestials and their advice.

The Celestial religion is founded and the first Chantry is risen in honor of the Gods.

​​

​

Year 381

Non-elemental magic is discovered, with most reactions being positive, as it allows creatures to heal or change their environment for the better with less resources and without the need of Elements.

The first Sorcerers and Mages are born.

​​

​

Year 500

Arrival of the Entity

Little is known about it and its motives, besides being as powerful as the Celestials themselves if not more, and aiming to wipe out the entire world of any life.

The Corruption begins to appear wherever the Entity touches ground, causing everything to enter a deadly frenzy which spreads much like a plague.

It affects dragons the most, or overall, the creatures that are most connected to the energies of Aether/Nether, regardless of alignment.

The Celestials seem unable to put a stop to the Entity or its corruption, but they attempt to nonetheless: they create the first Celestial Scion, a being of both alignments, who gathers together all of dragon-kind and every other sentient race in order to fight back and prevent it from taking over the world and plunging it into further chaos.

The Gods take refuge within the core of the world, fearing becoming corrupted.

​

The First War

After 5 months of terrible chaos caused by the Corruption spreading through out the world, an all-out war for survival finally breaks, as dragonkind finally coordinates under the Celestial Scion's leadership, spearheading the defensive efforts alongside all other races.

During the war, a new, neutral faction is created: the Celestial Order. These dragons have pledged complete and total loyalty to a single goal: to protect the Celestial Scion and aid them however needed, as well as protect the world from all that would threaten it, following the Celestials' teachings.

​

Year 650

Pushback, end of the First War

The Entity is finally pushed back after a 150-year war, and banished from the physical realm just before the Celestials lose most of their power, between this year and until 700 is when they grant their last blessings to mortal-kind, before entering a dormant state for the foreseeable future.

​

The First Dragon Houses

Without the Celestials' direct guidance and after the massive losses that nearly brought dragonkind to extinction, their society takes a turn for the decadent as tribes fight for territories now free to claim after the losses suffered, despite the Elders' best efforts to mediate.

The Elder Keepers step up and take leadership after training the new generation of Keepers and creating the Keeper Order, taking it upon their paws to improve the state of dragon society as these new Keepers extend the reach of the Elders and help bring peace to the lands.

The rest of races in Aethyr recover from the war at their own pace.

The Heartlands, a small continent now under the protection of the Elders, becomes neutral grounds for all elements.

The City of Tears is founded.

​

First Era

​

Year 1000

After the death of the first Celestial Scion in 800 from natural causes, there is an uneasy peace. The fear of corruption remains, and dragons begins to look at each other with distrust. The differences between alignments now clearer than ever.

Dark-aligned beings start suffering the consequences of the Entity’s appearance and slowly become the scapegoat for anything that goes wrong in the World, despite the Elder’s best efforts to emphasize how the Corruption never stemmed from them, but how it affected them more than any.

Small-scale conflicts ensue between the Dragon tribes, mostly due to territory disputes, the Keepers unable to maintain the peace for long.

​

Year 1242

Civil War ensues when the leading Storm tribe blames the leading Umbra onee for their heavy casualties sustained during The First War, and calls them out for treason, slandering which the Umbra dragons would not tolerate. The other elements took each a side, while Gale and Gravity remained neutral.

Despite the Elder's hard work to put a stop to it, this conflict continued for 133 years.

​

Year 1500

In 1475 a peace treaty is finally brokered thanks to the Elder Council.

The looming threat of corruption is slowly being forgotten as daily issues keep everybody occupied.

After such an ordeal, civil war threatens other tribal territories too, as they tolerate different alignments less and less…

The Elder Keepers take a step further and force these tribes to stand down, as new borders are drawn, territory disputes settled, and new forms of government shaped, thus the Kingdoms and Houses are born.

Thanks to this new system, all parties seem relatively satisfied and so, they focus on their own growth and rebuild rather than bickering.

​

Second Era

​

Year 2000

As the world feels to be forgotten by the Celestials, theories begin circulating about the unworthiness of dragon kind due to their dormant state.
 

Corruption begins to reappear on the fringes of the realm, fuelling such rumors and unrest.
Kingdoms preemptively resume mandatory service.
 

The Seer prophesized the return of the Celestial Scions in 2000.
 

Rumours spread of the imminent Second War, as the Entity might return.
Some believe the Celestial Scions to be the cause for its awakening, while the majority believes in them being their salvation, just like last time.
