Timeline

Eras
The various historical periods throughout the existence of Aura are differentiated into various 'eras', each of arbitrary length according to the conclusions of significant religious and political occurrences such as the end of the Auran Wars or the conquering and unification of societies into a single governmental sovereignty.

The five past eras as well as the current can be separated into prehistoric and modern eras according to when civilizations began to record and document significant events. Exact dates of events that occurred before the Nova Era cannot be fully known as such information does not exist due partly to a lack of record keeping by the then extant societies and mostly due to the partial absence of established chronological systems (calendars, periods, etc.). The Great Codex has documented events that historians, scions, and scholars have deemed factual; thus, such eras are prehistoric and the occurrence of events during this era can only be approximated with various degrees of uncertainty. Events occurring in the beginning of the Nova Era, however, often have exact dates or years due to the prevalence of record keeping and the development of a universal chronological system. Thus, such eras are modern.

Prehistoric eras

 * Eldritch Era – The Eldritch Era begins with The Shimmering. Later on the two celestial entities Czera and Rhyne find each other. The Eldritch Period ends in an cataclysmic event called The Freeze.


 * Czeric Era – The Czeric Era begins with the rise of the celestial entities Czera and Rhyne. The early creation of Aura begins during this period. The One is born. And ends with the Auran War.

Modern Eras

 * Nova Era – The Nova Era begins with The One's control over Aura. During this time, Verra is born and The One walked amongst the mortals. Civilizations were founded and The One left Verra to develop other worlds. The Nova Era ends with formation of the Barodian Empire, Kingdom of Betony, Jade Empire, and the Ptolemy Dynasty.
 * Imperial Era – The Imperial Era marks the beginning of a great advancement of mortal sciences and the decline of arcane sciences. The Hunger is born in the center of Aura and slowly consumes and corrupts worlds. The Imperial Era ends with The Exodus and the disappearance of The One.
 * Velian Era – The Velian Era began with the arrival of Verrans onto the world of Reverie. Political connections were strained and even non-existent as communities stuck to their traditions. The former High Scion of The Temple of The One, Marcus Velius Sorio, declared that The One was no more as he'd stop receiving visions. Numerous religions are born. The Velian Era ends with the mysterious relighting of the portals between Reverie and Verra hundreds of years after The Exodus.
 * Reborn Era – The Reborn Era is the current era and is marked with the beginning of the recolonization efforts of the descendants of Verra's ancestors.
