This is a work in progress until this banner is removed.

Below is a timeline of history, as most people in Remorra understand it.
NOTE: This is how history has been recorded by human historians in Briarhelm, Fortide.
It is by no means a complete history, and the elves, dwarves, and other races will have their own records of events unknown to the humans.


An age is defined as a period of time usually lasting about 2500 years, and is commonly named for the most significant event that happened during that time.
The defining of an age as 2500 years is based on the time between when elves and humans were created.


Dates for years are written as <Age><Year in that age>. For example, in the table below you will find "Birth, 1". This means the first year in The Age of Birth.
In cases where no year is given, events in the "Major Events" column are listed chronologically.


Because of the naming convention used by historians, the current age has no name.

Age Length Major Events
The Emergence Unknown The gods fully manifest in this plane, having been banished from another realm
The gods choose sides, with each blaming the other for their banishment. Yatt stays neutral.
The Age of Inception Unknown The physical aspect of this plane, and the solar system are created
Reality is infused with arcane and divine energies
Life is formed when Hevla combines divine energies and matter
Flora and fauna spread across the world, including dragons
The Age of the Fey Unknown The Court War begins between the Seelie Court and the Unseelie Court. The war spills into Remorra through many connections to the Feywild in Hycis
Unseelie Court opens a portal and devil kind (including Tieflings) enter Remorra as aid to the Unseelie Court
The Court War ends, but not before Hycis is transformed into an alien landscape
The Age of Might 6000 Giants populate the world, intent on ruling over everything
In an effort to restore the natural order, Dragons declare war on the Giants
Called "Ska'la" in ancient draconic, Dragonborn are created by the dragons as cannon fodder, because Giants greatly outnumber dragons.
The war eventually winds down, with both sides nearly eliminated. Most of the remaining Giants flee to Southern Vescenda.
The Age of Birth 2500 Birth, 1 - Orcs gain sentience. In response Hevla creates Elves, to counter-balance the orcs, who have evolved from beasts according to Zomok's design.
Birth, 1300 - Dwarves and Gnomes emerge from the earth (as recorded by the elves)
The End of Birth (2500) - Humans are created in Lamari (the western regions), Halflings are created in Vescenda (the eastern regions)
The Age of Growth 2500 Growth, 400 - Because of their innate wanderlust, Humans begin to explore the world
Growth, 1600 - Dragonborn are discovered in Redtide
Growth, 2100 - Tieflings are discovered in Malangi
The Forgotten Age 17 This period is completely missing from every known cultural history. In every discernible historical account it is exactly 17 years long. There are many, many theories as to what happened during these years, but nobody knows for sure. See The One-Seven
The Age of Affliction 2500 Affliction, 100 - A colossal plague sweeps across Remorra, diminishing the world population by almost 40%
Affliction, 700 - After nearly 600 years, an unlikely cure is found, in a rather common plant extract
Affliction, 2400 - Remorra seems to have mostly recovered from the devastating plague
