"Herein these
pages lay the paths of the world, and by your eyes alone may you travel the
world, oh Son, from horn to horn, and on down into the depths of time when
mountains and seas stood in each others' footprints, and like a wardrobe each
age held a different cloak." Updates November 2, 2005

"The World Before" section. |
 The
Hyperborean World (100,000 to 60,000 years ago):
After the great corruption,
the world was cast on to its side, the lands torn asunder. It
was the north polar continent, now under constant sun, that became a
tropical paradise and the land that Humans first walked upon.
Here lay the seat of the Age, the center of a mighty civilization
where people became as one with magic, and where they learned to
ascend to a plane higher than the surrounding world. Never again
would Humans reach this level. Last

 The
Lemurian World (60,000 to 45,000 years ago):
With the beginning of this age, the world convulsed and righted
itself, and even as Hyperborea was cast into cold and darkness, the
central equatorial continent, belt of the world, became the new paradisiacal
jungle land. Great beasts shared this land with Humans, and the
cultures that arose here were less than before, but still great and
powerful in their own right. Last

 The
Muvian World (45,000 to 35,000 years ago):
The equatorial continent of Lemuria shattered, and its people were
scattered. But on the largest fragment, a continent in its own
right, there arose the land of Mu. Her people were noble
savages, her religion lost in mysticism. And her legacy opened
the way for future development of magic. Last

 The
Kronan World (35,000 to 21,000 years ago):
The world was torn asunder once more, and as the continents shifted
and sank and rose, moving ever closer to their true and intended
positions, Mu was cast into ruin and from the ashes arose the great
and terrible empire of Krona. This nation subjugated all others,
and those that resisted, even those born from Krona itself, were swift
to be cast down and destroyed.

 The
Typhaean World (21,000 to 16,000 years ago):
The empire of Typhaea, born from the fires of Krona, having tossed
down the last vestiges of that civilization, it was one of the last
colonies to have been created by Krona. It was a case of the
child, coming back to slay its parent, and dwelling forever in the
ruins of its house. Few new monuments did they build, but
instead they lorded over that which was. Page

 The
Rutan World (16,000 to 12,000 years ago):
Ruta, jewel of Age, arose from the utter destruction of Typhaea and
forged a mighty empire. But there were other great empires of
this age as well, and all gave Ruta plenty of competition, enough so
that though they were a dominant nation, they did not rule all. Page

 The
Aulitean World (12,000 to 10,500 years ago):
Aulitea, the last of the mighty empires, whose
power and threat stretched from one end of the globe to the other, and
who became known in much later ages as Atlantis, the Antediluvian
Empire. This was the quintessential ancient civilization, and
everything that followed after has been a pale remembrance, trying to
recapture a glory long since lost beneath the waves. Page
