Revision as of 16:04, 10 July 2013
Following the end of the Mage Wars and the founding of the Unity Earth Sphere Alliance, a new calender was adopted. The calender evolved slowly over the first thousand years and as the Golden Age drew to a close, a system of 'Ages' was established, with an Age lasting approximately 1000 years.
All dates are given according to the A.Y. System
Contents
Golden Age
The Golden Age is the first Age of the Alliance. The term was coined by Uther, who announced upon ending the Mage Wars that "A new golden age has begun!", though history would prove his statement somewhat inaccurate. The Golden Age is also the First Age as it was the first Age to follow the Mage Wars. Though not formalized until nearly 1000 years later, Uther's Golden Age would set the standard for the A.Y. System and the system of Ages.
Year 0 of the Age of Mages: Uther, the First Pendragon, leads the Slayer Dragons and an army of Paladins to end the Mage Wars and establish a new era in the World of Life in which those with magic shall not rule over those without. The Mage Wars end and the Golden Age begins.
Year 1 of the Golden Age: construction begins of the city of Arindell.
Year 2 of the Golden Age: the Battle of the Sanguine Gulch is the last official battle of the Mage Wars.
Year 10 of the Golden Age: Laytami Gudersnipe completes his assessment and cataloguing of land-holdings and resources captured during the Mage Wars, and officially establishes the Gudersnipe Foundation.

Year 58 of the Golden Age: the power vacuum created by the death of Uther brings the government near collapse. Aden Searlin, second Pendragon of Slayer Dragons, does not command nearly the same respect and admiration as Uther.

Imperfect, and a stop-gap at best, this proposal succeeds in maintaining the peace until a more permanent council can be established.
