The Creation of Ea

In the beginning in the days before time 
The light was alive with the essence of power 
And from that power were born beings who lived on the edge of eternity 
And they spread their wings and soared through the ancient air 
And the beating of their wings made the winds 
And from the winds came the seas 
And from the seas came the life of the Ea…


Ea Timeline

(Dates prior to 1 YE are primarily speculative and/or legendary).

ca 3 Billion Years BF: Ea and its Solar system form out of planetary accretion disk withiin the Sorn Galaxy.

ca 2 Billion Years BF: First single-celled organisms evolve.

ca 200 Million Years BF: Multi-cellular life develops in Ea’s oceans.

50 Million Years BF: Life flourishes in Ea’s oceans, begins colonisation of the land.

20 Million Years BF: Massive planetoid impact wipes out 99.9999% of life on Ea, knocking planet 55 degrees off its axis.

3 Million Years BF: The Eldren of D’sst-Zroi, fleeing the great wars in their home dimension, settle upon a primaeval world. It will one day be called Ea. They terraform Ea, stabilising the still-devastated planet, altering its axis of rotation, erecting the Kronosphere and seeding the continents with new life. 

2.999 Million Years BF: Birth of Doomstar. At age 15 Doomstar slays his father D’sst-Zroi, and war breaks out among the Eldren. The Subsequent Eldren Wars annihilate life across the southern hemisphere.  
One band of survivors under Thri Coreth abandon technology, and settle on the northern continent, ‘Home’.   The other surviving group is the eventually ‘victorious’ (albeit radiation-sterilised) Xira faction, who settle at Xir in the Isles of Bone, a city which will endure for three million years. 

2 Million Years BF: Flourishing Thri Corethi (known as Sithi, or Sidhe) civilisation spreads slowly across the Northern Continent and associated lands.  At this time the Sithi still live for over 10,000 years.

1 Million Years BF: Divisions amongst the Sithi lead to civil wars and a decline in numbers, coinciding with increasingly harsh Ice Ages.

750,000 BF: Another major meteor strike destroys the remnants of the Sithi-Eldren civilisation, survivors revert to barbarism or wait to die.  Surviving Sithi groups centre on what is now Alfheim and in the Forest of Faerie, Farsorland.  

745,000 BF: Fearing the end of sentient life on Ea, the Eldren of Xir transfer primitive Grugach ‘proto-Eldren’ from their home plane to replenish the decadent Sithi.  They bring mystic beliefs in gods and demons, such as their ‘Creator-god’ Corellon Larethian.  Some Grugach interbreed with the Sithi, creating the Elven race.  Other Sithi retreat from the mortal realm into the land of dreams, becoming the Daoine Sidhe.

200,000 BF: The Xir Eldren develop or import a variety of other sentinent species, notably the Fir Bolg.  The first Dwurfolk awaken on Ea.  According to their beliefs, awakened by the breath of Moradin, ‘Soul-Forger’.

100,000-50,000 BF:  Numerous other races, including humans, appear on Ea.

20,000-15,000 BF: On southern Ea the ancient quasi-human Empire of R’ylNobe is said to have ruled much of the Known World from the City in the Cracks (believed to lie somewhere in the Coast Range). The R’ylNobeans are believed to have been quasi-humans from another dimension, like the later Trogaarans.  They rule largely unopposed over primitive subarctic human and nonhuman tribes, who worship them as gods.

END OF THE PENULTIMATE ICE AGE

Great Forest of Angar. Dwarven colonists accompany them, searching the southern lands for gems
and ore. 

11,000 BF: Splits in the Alfin and Dwurish races.  On the northern continent, some Alfin and Dwurish clans turn to worship of the ancient Demon Lords, precipitating a genocidal war.  War spreads across both continents. Many terrible monsters are released upon the world. The Dark-Alfin seize much magic and power from the now-decadent R’ylNobean civilisation, occupying its last territories in the Coast Range.  Only R’ylNobe itself survives, a shadow of its former glory.

Dark-Alfin sorcerors, using captured Alfin and Dwurish victims, create such things as the orcs and goblins, twisted parodies of creation. In Arthanwin, the Light Elves fortify Sarû, building a mighty fortress to withstand the Dark-Alfin hordes. 

10,100 BF: The Alfin and Dwurish followers of the Demon Lords are defeated by the armies of the
Light, commanded on the northern continent by the elf heroes Corethion and the first Thrin. They flee into the mountains and caverns of the earth. In Arthanwin they retreat beneath the mountains of the Yurons, and the Coast Range. They will become Duergar and Drow.

of what is now the Mosquito River. 

BEGINNING OF THE LAST ICE AGE

8,500 BF: Initially elven colonists flock from the cold reaches of the Northern Continent, but as Arthanwin too becomes ice-encrusted, most are driven south.

Hel-Legions invade Trafalgis, 100,000 strong. In the first battle, Hel appears and defeats the Solar

Hel-Legions' assault on the Sarukar Fortress fails disastrously, with tens of thousands dead.
Imperial forces are forced to retreat to Imgart. Around 75,000 Red Wizard troops have perished,
plus a similar number of Trafalgans.

Notes on North Ea history

The following period is referred to as the Age of Magic, when the art of wizardry developed in the western city-states bordering the Mesta Desert, culminating in the formation of the first human Empire, the Albine Empire, by the Archmage Zandor Albinus, proclaimed in 1020AM /1,395YE , completed ca 1086AM /1461 YE. It also saw the growth of human kingdoms across the Great Continent/Home, small human states in Farsorland, Westland, the Eastern & Western Isles, and the consolidation of Veridor under its own Emperor and Shogun.

The explorer Yurak Farranger finally made contact with the Southern Continent (Old Empire) in 2361 YE, immediately prior to the DemonWar.

The Age of Magic is generally reckoned to have lasted 2000 years and ended with the apocalyptic DemonWar ca 1990AM /2365YE, which destroyed most of the eastern lands of the Northern Continent. Some sages reckon time from 1986AM /2361 YE as New Era (NE), but the southern continent YE system is the most commonly adopted.

The ancient Imarrans never developed much in the way of a detailed mythology, and their approach to religion was decidedly syncretistic, happily adopting the gods and demons of the other tribes, and, later nations, into a sprawling, shambolic mythos entirely lacking in any semblance of internal cohesion. In such circumstances it is hardly surprising that the fierce monotheism of Christianity should sweep aside most of the older gods, and rule unchallenged for more than a millenium, until replaced by the dualism of Hel & Carthea. Now, in the 28th century YE, with the decline of Cartheanism and the weakness and disarray of the Albines' pantheon, some of the ancient cults seem set to rise again...

Syncretism

There is some evidence that the ancient Chakkan totem-gods were known to the peoples of the east - the Imarrans and Doskani - although not widely worshipped. This lends credence to the theory that at one time the Imarrans, Doskani and Chakkans may have been closely related tribes, along with perhaps the Comyri, Colladi and Carthaki, with origins distinct from those of other modern nations. But thousands of years of pre-history undoubtedly muddied the waters of belief considerably.
