The chapter of recovery

Next to the Ancient Kingdoms there was a mysterious continent, harboring underdeveloped human-tribes, that were spared by the guardians. The name was "Kolydia".

During the Epoch of Darkness many refugees came to Kolydia to start a new civilization bringing along all their knowledge. In contrast to the Ancient Kingdoms, it lacked the knowledge of runes, and magic evolved slowly. Instead, machines began to play a pivotal part in everyday life.

New territories were swiftly developed, cities erected and a feudal social system with imperial family and hereditary aristocracy was introduced. The aspirations of this young civilization are called the chapter of recovery by the peoples who know the past.

Epoch of discovery

The human civilization on Kolydia slowly reestablished ties to other peoples, who had long forgotten the human-caused catastrophe of guardians and daemons.

Little by little the humans on Kolydia learned about the runes and the perished magical civilization - the Ancient Kingdoms.

They founded organizations to accumulate all the ancient knowledge. The most powerful of these groups is the "Eye of Wisdom".
Their research process was so slow-paced that skeptics referred to them as woolgatherers of old academics. Improvements in transportation technology caused an explosive development.

Humans could now reach untouched areas and discover uncharted territory. They found puzzling traces, ancient equipment and mysterious barbarian people. As the humans took a step back into the nebula of the past, the veil was lifted. But every new discovery was accompanied be new mysteries.

Mankind, almost crazy in its quest for knowledge, developed ever better machines to visit every corner of the world. Even the other races were infected by mankind's zeal.

The Epoch of discovery - that is the name of today's era.
