====== History ======

A history of humanity, especially the [[Atharian Republic]].

==== Age of Serpents ====

Pre-history, when the serpentfolk, also known as the [[Eldar]], ruled the world. It is said to have lasted over ten thousand years, though the lack of any actual writings makes that difficult to confirm.

==== Age of Elves ====

From the arrival of the [[Elves]] to the [[Devastation]]. Again, the lack of writing at this time, and therefore any historical records, makes this a guess. The Elves claim this date for their arrival, but they are considered an unreliable source.

== 5,000 BD ==

The [[Elves]] arrive, repel the [[Eldar]] and enslave humanity themselves.

== 3,000 BD ==

Kingdom of [[Asokk]] makes a deal with the elves for a sort of independence.

== 500 BD ==

[[./Velnitia/Athar]] becomes a prominent slave centre, controlled by the Elves. A //Stone Grove// is planted here.

==== Age of Humans ====

With both the Eldar and the Elves defeated, it is time for humanity to forge their own destiny in the world.

=== The Dark Time ===

The first centuries after the Devastation are known as the Dark Time. There is only vague information from this period, but it is when most human nations started to form.

=== The Dawn Time ====
