Time Line of Malthoria

The 1st Age
The first age, often referred to as the age of the ancients, ran for 2546 years and was for many an age of discovery. Many of the city's were built between the early and later years of this period and lands and borders were founded. It is within this time period that the gods made themselves known to the mortals of Astron and magic flowed freely throughout Malthoria. Many of the magic users of the time discovered their powers early on and used them for the benefit of others, however few used the power for their own gain. For Malthoria, much like many other regions in Astron, the first age is marked by the presence of the wandering ones and therefore with the disappearance of these creatures, the 1st Age came to an end. It is often believed by the scholars of Malthoria, that most of the power that granted magic uses of the time their power, was sucked out of its source when a powerful wizard was entrapped by a group of magic users for his unruly deeds, however as most of the 1st age is undocumented and what was left from that era has been lost or destroyed over time, these believes are grounded in legend.

The 2nd Age
The second age began in dark times and continued that way for 1382 years. Without magic, many were lost as to what to do. The gods had seemingly abandoned their followers and many turned to the dark forces of the demons and devils of the world for guidance. War broke out between Winsford and Cordax Cross and both cites suffered terrible loss. Iken locked its docks and the ancient city on the south of Ebis disappeared. However it was not bad for everyone. In the north of Ebis, Siloth was built by the refugees and tribes of the island.

The 3rd Age
The beginning of the third age, it is often said, was marked by a great harvest. The crops were unnaturally golden that year and it soon became clear why. Many of the temples were visited by there respective deities, and a few mortals were even born with magical ability, although not as powerful as as those of the first age, and certainly not as often. However that does not mean the current age does not have its problems. There is a reason the gods have returned and they know that these good times are not to last.
