Ages of Zagrat

Prime Year and the Age of Stars
Not much is known or chronicled about this period of the world. Only the same legends that all denizens of the world believe to be true. It was during this time that the planes were but one existence. The pure and utter chaotic energies gave birth to the first gods, the prime gods. And with the disturbance from these entities came the divisions of the world. Gods like Bahamut, and Ioun who represented justice and knowledge respectively, fought gods like Tiatmat and Vecna who represented Greed and Secrets respectively. No one knows how long they waged their war, but when it was over the planes were split as we all know it to be today. At the center of all these planes sits the material world of Zagrat. The gods who fought in the war were either dead or banished to their own planes, unable to exist in the material one. This period of death, retreat, and banishment gave opportunity to other beings to rise to godhood, or lesser gods to grow more powerful. The state of the world grew calmer after the war, and mortal lives were allowed to thrive.

Age of Voyage (0 to 1000 PP)
The calendars were marked after the age of stars, the years more commonly known as PP (Post Prime). While many people were finally settling into their lands, there were those who looked to explore the rest of the world. This age of explorers brought upon the mixtures of races and cultures all throughout the world. Their voyaging into unfamiliar lands did not always end well. Such are the dangers of exploration. Close relationships between nearby lands were established. Trade brought the most foreign items from one edge of the world to the other. Secrets were discovered, things from the stars revealed. The mortals flourished. Then the mortals turned on each other.

Age of Iron (1000 to 1299 PP)
Wars tore the lands apart. Wars for all kinds of reasons. There were wars that lasted a few years, others decades, and the last one lasted for centuries. Empires came to rise from all over. The largest one being the C'arouthan empire, remnants of it still exist within the large land. The battles brought the discoveries of powerful weapons and magics that mortals had never seen before. Perhaps some things were awakened that had been asleep for a long time. Once the great war subsided a new age dawned.

Age of Rebirth (1300 PP onward)
It is the 14th century PP, the world of Zagrat currently sits on the age of rebirth, the age of rediscovery as some would like to call it. Some places in the world still recovering from their wars. An age of wonder and curiosity has returned. Who knows what the future holds?
