Antediluvian Dreams Peoples and Nations

The Hyperborean World: Before the Hyperborean world began some 100,000 years ago, the Human species had already begun to appear in pre-Africa and pre-Asia in its modern form, and was just beginning to move into eastern Europe. But one group of Humans settled in a far northern land, the great polar continent of Hyperborea. Here, isolated and fostered by the warming climate and a lack of competing predators, the pre-Hyperboreans began to evolve the trappings of a high culture, until finally they established a series of civilizations.

The Lemurian World: By the beginning of the Lemurian world, mankind was largely spread throughout the world, and existed in varying degrees of advancement and savagery. The world had changed greatly, but even before the fall of Hyperborea it had begun to cool appreciably. With the new face of the world in place, Hyperborea fell into a relic state, while the equator-girdling empire of Lemuria arose to dominate that continent, and established colonies throughout the rest of the world.

The Muan World: As the world fell into a new cold period, Lemuria was split asunder and fractured into lands of petty kingdoms and relic empires, while the land of Mu arose into dominance. Seeds of civilization were spread by this spiritual people throughout the world, and eventually these would germinate into more recent cultures. In the far north, the ancient Hyperboreans began their slide into true savagery as their lands became cold wastes, their glorious past all but forgotten. Page pending
The Kronan World: With the world change into the Kronan age, Mu remained intact, but her people had lost much of their past knowledge. Less spiritual and more a slave to ancient rite and tradition whose origins were largely lost, their influence all but vanished from the world. However, one of their ancient colonies arose to dominance through fire and sword. Krona was a land of mighty power, and whereas Mu had planted the seeds of civilization, Krona made those seeds grow.

The Typhaean World: The Typhaean world saw the nearly complete extermination of both the Muan people and the Hyperboreans as their lands sank beneath the sea. Krona itself became greatly weakened, and one of her most ancient colonies, Typhaea, struck out from the proto-Mediterranean region and conquered the motherland, and all those in between.

The Rutan World: Ancient Typhaea fractured into many nations, and the continent that once held Krona again rose to dominance as Ruta became established there. However, unlike in the past there was no single dominating culture or nation now. The speech and manners of man began to greatly diverge, and wars began to become common place as many great nations vied for power. Page pending
The Aulitean World: The mighty empire of Aulitea arose from the ruins of Ruta, her emperors demanding from the world what the Kings of Ruta had always asked for. This was the true Antediluvian world, where the last flowering of civilization would occur in an ice age splendor before the sudden melting and ensuing Earth change would herald in the modern historical era.
