Time Line of the Shards World

 

History prior to the 65,000 mark has been worked out by scholars from fragments of knowledge, times may be wildly inaccurate.

 

 

Pre 120,000 years ago

The world is nothing but potential

 

The Time of the Vrynuu

120,000-100,000 years ago

The Vrynuu come and create the ancient servitor races including: The Draken, Wolfen, Ogryn, Unicorns, Rakken, Bloodstone, Forsaken, plus many others

 

The Age of Draken

100,000-75,000 years ago

The Vrynnu leave and the Draken the most powerful of the Servitor races rule, with all others nothing but their slaves.

They are at constant war, battles are what they love, and nothing records this time other than perhaps the memories of those that still live.

 

75,000 years ago - The Shattering

The world is shattered into fragments by Phoenix a specially created bloodlines to stop the continuing war.

 

The Age of the Void

75,000-65,000 years ago

The fragmented worlds slowly depopulate and descend and devolve into darkness, the Draken and bloodlines appear lost forever.

 

From this point on the time line is that as told by Fey from thier spoken histories, believe what you wish.

 

Age of the Alfar

65,000-40,000 years ago

One of the shattered fragments now called Faerie awakens from its dark time. The Alfar tribes rise into the light using technology and magic they create a peaceful prosperous civilisation.

During this age sees the ascent, reign and end of the Alfar, using their very advanced ways of magic and 'arcane science' they build a Utopian culture.

Portal travel to other Shards discovered during this time.

The Tomb/Prison of a Horror is uncovered and whether by accident or deliberate action it is released and a war begins. Vampires are created by the Horrors to destroy the Alfar.

The Brotherhood of Souls is created by the Alfar Tribes to combat the Vampires, and though successful, eventually fall.

Next, Werewolves are created to combat the Vampires and their Horror masters.

This leads to The Sacrifice…

 

40,000 years Ago - The Sacrifice

Millions of Alfar sacrifice themselves to rid the world of the horrors.

The end of their civilization heralds the First Age of Darkness.

 

First Age of Darkness

40,000-35,000 years ago

Vampires and Werewolves run amok. Eventually the Vampires settle in what will become Salem and dominate it, while the Werewolves form the Werewolf Nation. 

Civilsation collapses without the advanced techno-magic of the Alfar.

 

Age of the Immortals

35,000-20,000 years ago

The remaining tribes of Alfar group together on Atlantis, the immortal children of the Alfar build a new Empire. The Empire is fuelled by Netherworld magic, Poseidonis is Emperor of the new Empire of the Monarchs, their empire soon spans the Shard worlds, and then beyond it to colonise other worlds including Earth.

The Creation of the Heart Stones supposedly took place during this time.

Merlin is supposedly born during this time.

 

Age of the Dark Monarchs

18,000-20,000 years ago

Mortanis deposes Poseidonis and acquires the book of Geas. He then turns the Monarchs to the use of Horror tainted magic.

Civil war ensues between the two factions, those who use Nether Magic, and those who use Horror Magic, however no True Monarch will kill another.

Rebels under the lead of Poseidonis create the FORGE, however the FORGE is used incorrectly or is flawed. Atlantis sinks beneath the waves and Faerie is plunged into yet another Dark Age

 

Age of the Elder Races

14,000-18,000 years ago

Other elder races of Faerie come to the fore following the sinking of Atlantis and the waning of the Monarchs power. (Tuatha de Danan, Firbolg, Formorii, Partholanians, Nemedians and others)

 

Second Age of Darkness

11,190 BC - 8689 BC

The Monarch Domnu takes on the mantle of the third Goddess of the trinity. She gives her power to the Formori and tries to recreate the empire.

The Elder Races fight back, driving the True Formorii almost to extinction, so Domnu accepts the worship of other races to bolster her ranks.

 

Age of the Young

8690 BC - 4689 BC

Creation of the Jacks

In turn The Partholanians, The Nemedians the Firbolg and the Tuatha De Danaan fight against the Fomorii; and with the defeat of the Formorii the Elder Races begin to retreat from the world.

The Younger Races of Faerie come to power (Sidhe, Dwarves, Satyrs and others)

The Forest Sidhe leave for Frontier whilst The Water Sidhe leave for Archipelago.

The Seelie and Unseelie Courts are founded

 

The Old Calendar dating system was brought back from place called Earth, much of what is told from here on is written history.

 

The Golden Age

4690 BC - 1813

Seelie and Unseelie courts founded and The Courts come to power.

The Dance takes over life in Faerie and Long periods of peace and balance between the courts emerge.

The courts eventually start exiling those who break the laws, these join with Domnu and form the modern Formori.

 

The Third Age of Darkness

1813 to 1815 (AU0)

Compo breaks the cycle of two courts when he overthrows Queen Morgana and installs Queen Blue. The Seelie Court is destroyed and the Seelie and Unseelie courts merge to form the Court of Night and Day, ruling jointly under Queen Jess and Queen Blue.

The peoples of Faerie approach Finnlay advising they will support him in return for certain boons. Finnlay is proclaimed Ard-Ry of Faerie

The Shards unite and Lokion is defeated when the Forge of Faerie is used.
