Return to World

Siablan’s timeline can be divided into three chapters.

The Ancient Era

“Totriek Raiia” can be divided into six sections by historians.

• Dawn of Razarath - “The Beginning” - 150 MYA-145MYA
  • Razarath as the sole Crysalla, up until the creation of the Presalla.

• Age of the Presalla - “Golden Age” - 145 MYA -110 MYA
  • The true Golden Age of Siablan; the reign of the Presalla kingdoms, with both widespread domestication of plants and animals and magical and technological advancements up to the invention of steam power.

• Cardinal Dawn - “Rise of the Gods” 110 MYA - 105 MYA
  • The creation of the four Gods, plagued by various natural disasters.

• New Power - “Rise of the Deities” 105 MYA-???
  • The Gods’ creation of the first Deities, a time of tumultuous war.

• The Dark Age - ???
  • The time of Razarath’s wrath until their defeat. Named for the Sun’s disappearance. Mass extinction event.
  • *It is unknown when the Dark Age began and how long it truly lasted. It ends with the beginning of the Modern Era. 

modern ERA

“Modern Day” is a bit of a misnomer. The Modern Era begins with the creation of the Crysalla, to the arrival of the Gannea, up to the resurrection of Razarath.

The first modern Crysalla were created communally by the four Gods roughly 100 million years ago. They were intended to replace the dying Presalla and powerful Deities as the majority of subjects for the Gods after the end of the Dark Age. While Crysalla society hasn’t proved to be as technologically advanced as the Presalla before them; they have advanced mathematics, irrigation, agriculture, city planning, and an increased understanding of the natural world. This time period is considered technologically equivalent with Classical Antiquity of Earth. Aesthetics of modern Crysalla garments, however, may vary radically across the globe, as does the architecture, especially in the huge disparity of larger to smaller civilizations.

So…There’s roughly 100 million years to cover and create your characters in. Let’s dive in!

The Modern Era “Tetticki Raiia”  is divided into six major sections by Sialla historians.

• Era 1 - The New Age - 100 MYA
  • This era is the aftermath of the Dark Age. It begins with the creation of the modern Crysalla.

• Era 2 - The Grey Age - 75 MYA
  • This era follows the end of the First War, when West successfully claimed dominion of the Kirros Mountains. Crysalla from all over Siablan feared what was to come; and they were right to. This era is a bloody one.

• Era 3 - The Age of Peace - 61 MYA
  • This era follows what would become an uncharacteristic peace between the four Gods. With West, South, and North left to lick their wounds, life goes on…and the eastern hemisphere continues to drive societal advancement as the others rebuild.

• Era 4 - The Black Age - 40 MYA
  • Named for when an unfortunate excavation in the Northern Hemisphere for Dark Age fossils uncovered a viral, deadly, and highly contagious disease known as the Raossa Errekrium (Dark Pestilence) that had been frozen in permafrost preserved corpses and spread rapidly through trade. Coupled with the outbreak of new wars; the global economy and state of Siablan suffered considerably.

• Era 5 - The Arrival - 25 MYA
  • The Arrival takes its name because it marks the migration of the Gannea to Siablan. The Gannea had come from Gallaeri fleeing the aftermath of the Gaellan Civil War on Gaella; Alannah Dreafyrnin’s former followers who had fled through a Rift in space/time led by Harlequin Rassea. The mechanics of Rift travel had yet to be understood, and the Gallaeri were mutated by the process. All who had come through the rift had lost their wings. It is debated amongst Gannea if they emerged from the Rift with claws, fangs, markings, and an omnivorous diet, or if they had evolved these features as an adaptation to life on Siablan.
• Era 6 - Current Era
  • The current era extends indefinitely. It is the era of the modern Siablan map. It is the primary intended era for play. It features the complete incorporation of Gannea into Sialla society, but before the resurrection of Razarath and ensuing events of Chapter 3.

The Gaellan Galactic Empire Arc takes place after the events on planet Gaella. This chapter begins with the resurrection of Razarath by the dark Gannea sorceress, Nyx, and continues under the watchful eye of Rin, the new God of the universe, and Eregal Callasteia Revellan Dreafyrnin's reincarnation after devouring the first aspect of Vyrone.
