During the fourth orc war when the high sages of mankind, elvenkind, dwarfkind and numerous gnomes were forced to refuge in the deeper recesses of the Great Eastern Forest, the elder loremasters started to scribe the recent events for the coming generations to remember, and to learn from their kings' mistakes. They have founded Gamardul Village deep in the heart of the woodlands,
With the help of the Ghazakiin, they have systematically scribed and aligned the different happenings, by their legends, and assumed truth.

History has been divided to Eons, which have been marked with their own attributes and names, creating a narrative based on how the world changed through the ages.

The First eon, Creation, is spoken differently in all cultures. What they all agree in, is that the All-Father, Haniel is responsible for the Making of all in existence.

They speak of a Second eon, in which the War of Gods occurred, and in which mortals were created with purposes different by each religion. The Second Eon ended with the exile of Ghazakiin from the Southern Mountain Range, and a

As the Third eon, also known as Eon of Prophecy came up as subject, all the wise men of the mortal races pulled their own scrolls and examined the translations of the text of which the author was long forgotten. Finally they managed to gather the pieces, even though their translations were flawed, with many a difference in meaning and content.
During the Third eon, the elven kingdom of Zheradan, holding the Source Stone, and their greatest seer, Syletha Sirahn had fallen prey to the mage Seth Thamargul, seeking the stone.
The cataclysm of Zheradan City sinking below ground shook the realm, never to be seen by the eyes of mortals again.

The Fourth eon, they were living and working in, they've perceived the worst of them all and named it the Eon of Rage. With only five hundred years of history behind them since the dwarves found the forgotten tomb and four hundred years since the arrival of humans, the elder sages of elvenkind were sure that the arrival of humans has a divine -or perhaps infernal- meaning to it.

During the Fifth Eon every race found their own ways of living, and connections between them started to form. As humans slowly but surely prospered, so did their treachery and great deeds have the other races ponder what to make of the newcomers. Friend or foe? Perhaps both?

Passed down from generations to generations the tales of the first eon's uncertain time and the next four eons, each covering a thousand years of distance in time, were remembered and the weave of lore continued by the sages of each century.

The Sixth eon is rarely spoken by the sages of the Ghazakiin, and if so, it is spoken in great grief and sorrow of the civil war caused by humans, and the Schism of their sole nation to two, separate nations.
The Midnight Dawn also occurred during the Sixth eon, when the sun rose six hours early, to signify the return of the All-Father, who left in shame of what his creation became.

The present eon being the seventh is written by the heroes... or perhaps, the murderers thereof.
