The Timeline

The ages are vaguely defined time periods of the world. The end of one age and the beginning of another can differ based on region.

The Founding of Mycenia
Prehistory. There is no record of what occurred during the Founding. The prevailing creation myth is that the world sprouted from the eternal conflict between the forces of Chaos and Order, the site of a great battle where the Titan of Order, Aetherion the Observer, defeated Il'ggath and their spawn. His work done, Aetherion left, leaving the care of Mycenia in the hands of his prime creations: the Primordial Watchers.

Aetherion created three Primordial Watchers, each one filling a specific role within Mycenia. Thymsira, the Dragon Queen, was tasked with watching over the material plane. Baal, the God of Death, was tasked with shepherding the souls of mortals come to pass, and Maela, the Goddess of Life, was tasked with the care of all living things.

Thymsira feared the day Il'ggath would return, and sought to create a mighty bulwark against those who would seek to ruin Mycenia. Under the Dragon Queen's watchful eye, the First Draconic Empire was created, marking the beginning of the Age of Heroes.

Age of Heroes
The period of time that marked the rise and fall of the First Draconic Empire. During this time, the tyranny of the Dragons was ended by legendary heroes leading vast armies against their scaled overlords.

The First Draconic Empire
Originally formed as a bulwark against the eventual return of the Il'ggath, the early days of the First Draconic Empire were stable and prosperous. Under Thymsira's guidance, the mortal civilizations of early Mycenia reached unprecedented levels of scale and sophistication. To aid in the administration and rulership over the mortal races, Thymsira took Maela and Baal as her consorts, giving birth to the first generation of dragons. With the God of Death, Thymsira sired the chromatic dragons: primal creatures corrupted by the fickle and unpredictable nature of their sire. With the Goddess of Life, Thymsira sired the metallic dragons: elegant and graceful beings whom were elevated by the purity of their souls.
