History of Elendar

The history of Elendar can be divided into three known ages. The current age dates from the end of the Dragon Wars, which marked the end of rule by dragon-kings and a new era of democratic rule (with the exception of Farrágh) on the continent.

The Three Ages

Age of Mist - The beginnings of the world when gods walked the earth, giants were the rulers of the world and the humanoids lived in fear of them.

Age of Dragons - When the giants were overtaken by dragons and dragons ruled the world with humanoids as their slaves. Lasted for tens of thousands of years.

Age of Arosians - Arosians is the name for medium-size humanoids. Also known as the New Era. An age of democratic rule and warfare between the goblinoids and orcs, but not much between Arosians themselves.
