Introduction.
Preceding till approx. -10,000 - Incarceration of Moshran - The Age of Legends
According to legends and myths, the God of Battle was incarcerated by the elder Gods within a temple deep below ground surface level beneath the ancient city of Nabranoo.
-8,000 - The Age of Isolation
The races and tribes live in widespread territories, islands, or continents, and have no contact amongst eachother. The ruins of the ancient cities, found within the partially barren wastelands, are said to be cursed and are avoided. Metal is still completely unknown, and most of the races dwell in wooden/straw houses, caves, or tents. Most of the humanoid world population consists of nomads.
-5,200 - Scriptures
Written elvish documents were found around -900 and are dated back to an origin of time of around -5,200. These scriptures are considered to be the first scriptures, inscribed upon leathery parchment-thus being transportable and flexible. The first discovered scripture is apparently an ancient poem or song; a written warning in verse form:
Many a wanderer's path that leads into darkness
By the shadows of Nabranoo.
Many a stony ridge has bound the bundle
By the shadows of Nabranoo.
Ruin is witness of sacrilegious deed,
To avoid the darkness is council one doth need,
Many a wanderer's heart, seduced in the darkness
By the shadows of Nabranoo.
There is no historic documentation yet. All discovered scriptures or tablets from before -5,200 are exclusively clay and stone tablets, cave wall paintings and frescoes; all of which are surely too unpractical for scribing longer texts. They serve solely for organizatory purposes. Additionally, there is no real record of years; apparently it had been deemed unnecessary.
The first historic event that can be dated exactly by the means of reconstruction through records, are the beginnings of the orcish wars. These records were made by elvish hands and copies of these documents can be found in the archives of Salkamar.
