Realmz: Age of Wonders

AGE OF WONDERS

The Age of Wonders is a seven to eight millennia-long period of our ancient history, which is now largely shrouded in myths and fables. This Age coincided with the advent of Toristaerenylan (capital: Aerandor), the first known elven kingdom on Anarym and equally mythical, which is thought to have occured c.a. -27000 A.R.. Although the Age of Wonders include the emergence of the likewise mythical human civilizations of Neklaar (capital: Humarynar) and Shandyr (capital: Shandyrath) c.a. -25000 A.R., it is first and foremost known for being the time when Demi-Gods and Gods came to Lhari-Orin to live in the world of mortals - good, lawful, neutral, chaotic and evil alike. Of course, this Age is said to have produced the greatest and most powerful devices, machines and artifacts, in large part due to the creation of the blending of magics and sciences known to this day as technomagics.

Sadly, the presence of good and evil Powers on the world eventually brought about the world-shattering, two thousand year-long War of Light and Darkness. This long, bloody and devastating war ended around -20000 A.R., leaving in its wake the destruction of the neklaaran and shandyrin civilizations. The Gods thus returned to their own planes of residence, leaving Lhari-Orin for mortals only ... and thus bringing to an end the Age of Wonders.
