History of Eliqueth

The Resurgence

Eliqueth was formed by the Grand Deities and The Unfavoured who combined their power to create a self-sustaining world, with a sun that provides light and life and two moons that illuminate the dark nights that follow the sunny days. As their creations grew and civilizations were formed, new deities formed alongside them, guiding their searches for love, or wealth or even faith.

This creation was borne from the destruction of a previous world, destroyed by the gods after it's people tried to overthrow their creators. The gods acknowledged that they were too heavy handed in their guidance and suffered the loss of the minor deities that were created by the previous world as their existence is tied to the faith of their creations, not to the universe itself like the Grand Deities and The Unfavoured. A pact was created between these creators for their new world; to let it blossom or burn on it's own. They could provide divine favour to their faithful, support champions to represent them, and visit the world under a mortal guise with no more power than what they can provide to their faithful, but they cannot remain for more than 3 days, they cannot access the full extent of their power, they can only visit once a season and they cannot reveal themselves unless absolutely necessary.

The Veiled Ages (VA)

The period of time from the start of the first people and when time started being recorded is unclear, but it is estimated to be about 500 years. Very little remains of this time and there are many researchers who have dedicated their life to discovering how life was during this time, what magics were available and utilized, when did the gods leave?

Once Istos, the god of order and balance, formed through the world's need for ordinance and stability, he worked with the leading scholars in Sylvara, the city that is now the capital of Thydle on Norlaria, to create a calendar and they started to record major events. This system spread to the rest of the world and most civilizations begun recoding their history.

Chronicled Times (CT)

Once the calendar had spread to the remaining civilizations, almost all cities had some form of recorded history by the year 50 CT. Kingdoms shifted and changed over time, rose and fell.

We are currently around 943 CT.
