Asmythe History

This is a timeline of major events in Asmythe. Most of these events are unknown to the most of the civilizations of Asmythe.

Prehistory

• The Elder Dragons created the world of Asmythe and seeded it with life.
• The Elder Dragons created the Ilthids to be the guardians and stewards of Asmythe.

First Age

• This age began when the Elder Dragons went into hibernation.
• The Ilthids experimented with creating life, producing many monstrous species.
• The Ilthids split into multiple factions.
• One Ilthid faction created the elves and another created the dwarves to serve them as thralls.
• Other factions created other thrall races, but none were as powerful as the first two.
• This era ends when all Ilthids disappeared from Asmythe and the moon Rolene appeared.

Second Age

• This age began after the disappearance of the Ilthids.
• The elves, dwarves, and other thrall races are suddenly without masters.
• During this time the elves and dwarves each expand, finding their way into the territory of the other, as well as the other thrall races. Each believes they are the true guardians and stewards of Asmythe and come into conflict.
• A truce is reached between the elves and dwarves and each returns to their respective domain, mostly.
• Elves discover Nature (Dream) magic and use it to steward the above-ground lands of Asmythe.
• Dwarves discover Artifact (Arcane) magic and use it to steward the underground lands of Asmythe.
• This age ends when humans and orcs arrive on Asmythe.

Third Age
