Ages of Alarra

Age of Mist
The Age of Mist is named for the foggy nature of history. Not much is known of the age of mist, not even it’s true length. The world was born, gods roamed the earth as men, magic was plentiful and supposedly 1000 years came and went without a word of it being recorded. What is known is that a great number of magical artifacts were created (by man or by god),

Age of Heroes
The first great Planar War came out of naivety of the people of Alarra. Demons and Devils had been collapsing onto the Prime Material Plane with promise of power and knowledge, but they only brought death and destruction. The results were devastating to the people of Alarra. Eventually the civilized races of the world banded together, stopping the onslaught. Great heroes were forged in the war, heroes that inspired others, fought for their beliefs, and died in glory. Civilizations started crafting states of law, started working together to build great things. In a time before empires, the dominant forces in the world were bands of heroes that roamed the lands bringing their sense of justice and right wherever they went. Planar Beings would invade but more Heroes would rise up to smite them. The age ended with the first great alliance that formed the Zohan Empire.

Age of Iron
The Zohan Empire grew to encompass the entire world wherever Illumis shed his light the Empire claimed theirs. Zohan built massive cities and with their mastery of ancient magics raised them into the sky. Unlimited magic potential brought new and powerful artifacts. It is said that an Emperor grew too ambitious and ripped the magic from a nameless God for his own, destroying magic. Castles fell to the ground below and left only ruins for the survivors to wander through. Zohan relied on its use of magic to protect them and without such power fell victim to a second Planar Invasion.

Age of Stone
After the destruction of the Zohan Empire Demons, Devils, Shadows, and Primeval Titans took claim to the world. Evil Empires poisoned the land forcing the reappearance of magic and with it the hand of the Gods. Each God poured some of their being into creating barriers at the last strongholds of the world, protecting their creations from certain doom. Humans, the most primitive of all the races but the most numerous now rose to the challenge and smote the Evil that remains. After freeing their lands Human Empires grew into sprawling nations to rival those of other races. This would not stop the meddling of Evil in the plans of men, Tyrants commanded large armies only to be faced by the righteous and good. Men will have to find a way to live in balance.

Age of Men
Men rule the remaining untainted lands that remain. Old Empires have fallen and new ones are rising, the idea of a better world is seeded into the minds of men. Quality of life for all and uncovering secrets that have been hidden by time and war are the primary goal of Kingdoms and Countries. Soon Men will set their eyes on stolen land, taken from their forefathers unfairly. They will meet their foes on the battlefield, this time as equals.
