====== A Brief Timeline of Kyor ======

The world of Kyor has a rich history, layer on layer of events accumulated over thousands of lifetimes. It is generally broken into  ages, many of which have been long forgotten or only remembered in mythology.

===== Age of the Dead Daeva =====

In the before times, the [[daeva#the_dead_daeva|Dead Daeva]] were overthrown by the [[daeva#the_old_daeva|Old Daeva]] who took Kyor for their own. This time is often described poetically as "when the old gods were new."


===== Age of the Ancients =====

The ancient cultures that laid the cornerstone of magical power thrive including early [[Albion]], The [[Two-Headed Kingdom]], and the [[atanis|The Assembly of Atanis]]. 


===== The Void is Pierced =====

During this age, all of Kyor was victimized by the [[Masters]] from the void. The continent of [[Radavan]] felt the attack most acutely, but at this time there was a great upheaval and temporary alliances between the peoples of Kyor. 


===== Age of Conflict =====

During this age, conflicts swept the continents of Kyor as the threats of the [[Masters]] were either destroyed, banished, or trapped by the combined might of all the ancient cultures. As the power of the ancients faded, nation-states such as the [[Verdant Empire]] rose and fell. 

===== Age of Empire =====

During this age, the Elven Conclave of [[Albion]] ruled supreme across the waves of Kyor. Their swift twin-hulled ships and massive battle-barges conquered the world and consumed all the resources it could. The elven caste system is codified during this period.

===== Age of Young Kingdoms =====

As the Empire of Albion weakened, younger kingdoms began to thrive taking control back. Other groups of elves splintered from the Conclave, and smaller city-states began to flex their muscles as well. It is during this time that the modern cultures such as the Dwarven Guild system is created.

===== Age of Exploration =====

With the Empire in full decline, other kingdoms begin to travel the world. The continent of [[Radavan]] is settled, and the [[orcs|Green Elves]] create a city-state for themselves on [[Auria]].

===== The Modern Age =====

All the lands of Kyor have a different feel. Some like [[Radavan]] are empty frontiers with points of civilization punctuating forgotten ruins and dark dungeons. Others like [[Albion]] are over-populated hives of hedonistic excess left as a people slowly rots on its own decadence. There are young, hungry barbarian kingdoms and proud city-states with their own ancient codes of honor. 

The years of the Modern Age are counted from the events of the [[Sundered Conclave]] which broke the total domination of the [[albion|Elven Empire]]. 

Notable events of the Modern Age include:
  * [[corvax|The Rise and Fall of Corvax]]
  * [[battle of the barons|The Battle of the Barons]]
