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.

Golden Age

The Golden Age is the first Age using the Alliance Calender. The Golden Age is also called the First Age as it was the First Age as it was the First Age to follow the Mage Wars.

Significant Events of the Golden Age

Year 0 of the Age of Mages: Uther, the First Pendragon leads the Slayer Dragons and an army of Paladins to finally 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 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 24 of the Golden Age: Stormwind Keep is established in the new city of Arindell, the Slayer Dragon’s allow for the election of the Ruling Council to oversee matters of state.

Year 27 of the Golden Age: the Ruling Council collapses due to countless layers of bureaucracy and widespread corruption.

Year 32 of the Golden Age: the Ministry of Earth is finally established to replace the Ruling Council

Year 34 of the Golden Age: the Library of Arindell is established.

Year 35 of the Golden Age: construction of Stormwind Keep is completed.

Year 36 of the Golden Age: the Ministry of Earth collapses due to countless layers of bureaucracy and widespread corruption. Uther declares that the Slayer Dragons shall rule the world under the ideals of Truth, Liberty, and Justice.

Year 57 of the Golden Age: Uther, the First Pendragon of the Slayer Dragons dies on the 90th anniversary of the end of the Mage Wars.

Year 58 of the Golden Age: the power vacuum created by the death of Uther brings the government to near collapse. Aden Searlin, second Pendragon of Slayer Dragons, does not command nearly the same respect and admiration as Uther. With but days to save the old alliance, Aden presents the Earth Sphere Unified Nations plan. Imperfect, and a stop-gap at best, this proposal succeeds in maintaining the peace until a more permanent council can be established.

Year 898 of the Golden Age: the Earth Sphere Unified Nations agreement begins a long and painful collapse, an era known as the hundred-years war. This intermediary period saw very little actual fighting, but massive military buildups and posturing. For a long time, it seemed a new beginning to the Mage Wars was all but inevitable.

Year 998 of the Golden Age: under the leadership of Pendragon Scott Sagen, the Unity Earth Sphere Alliance is finally established. With a complex system of checks and balances, the Alliance finally stands a chance at creating a lasting peace. The Golden Age comes to an end. The Second Age begins.

Year 148 of the Second Age: the Library of Arindell is established.

Year 217 of the Second Age: a clandestine organization known simply as the Society of Assassins begins to emerge throughout the Multi-Verse, selling death at a reasonable price. The Society is suspected to have dies to the long-thought-extinct Order of Wizard-Breakers.

Year 345 of the Second Age: the Library of Arindell is established.

Year 388 of the Second Age: The long-lost Planet Earth re-emerges from the Teller Fold, being none the wiser to the 36,000+ years of history that have happened around the rest of the Multi-Verse.

Year 929 of the Second Age: the Library of Arindell is hidden by Pendragon Lafiet.

Year 940 of the Second Age: the Library of Arindell is established by Pendragon Lafiet in the last year of his life.
