The Creation

0 - 1 Billion years

The time spanning the creation, formation of the World. As old tales speak of the creation:

At first there was nothing
no sand nor sea
no earth nor heaven above
The sun never knew her dwelling
The Moon not her realm
The stars not their place
There was only the yawning chasm.

As legend say, there were only three planes that existed in this time line. The great chasm, the ice realm of the dead known as NIFFLEHEIM or as we know it today as HEL to the north and to the south was the land of fire, MUSPELHEIM.

NIFFLEHEIM provided the chasm with twelve rivers that flowed and froze, MUSPELHEIM provided hot clouds that turned the water to mist and in the end formed YMIR the great frost giant and his Frost Maidens.

1 Billion Years - 2 Billion Years

As Legend tells, Odin and his two brothers kill Ymir and created the earth from his body, the sea from his blood and the sky from his skull. It was also around this time when the realms and spaces were determined:

Asgard, Realm of the Gods,
Midgard, Realm of the men
Jotunheim, Realm of the Giants
and Niffleheim, Realm of the Dead.

To keep them separated, the YGGDRASIL was said to have been created. Asgard at top, beneath the first root is NIFFLEHEIM, realm of Hel to which no one, not even Gods had authority in. The next root would be were JOTUNHEIM is and the third Root would be the realm of men.

The Root that goes up to Asgard holds the sacred well whose white water is so holy, none may drink them. The guards were Urda, Verdandi and Skuld. These three were also in charge of giving the men their fates.

The enemies of men and world were determined, The Giants and of course, Nidhoggr who gnaws persistently at the roots of Yggdrasil in NIFFLEHEIM who, when he succeeds, will mark the coming of RAGNAROK, the great war.

Odin's Temple in Asgard, the great GLADSHIEM is also created to which the other great Gods would dwell, FRIGGA, Odin's Wife, THOR the God of War and Lightning, BALDUR the beloved, FREYA the beautiful, TYR the God of Single Combat and HEIMDALL the guardian of the way to Asgard and countless others. Beside the great fort is the realm of Heroes, VALHALLA.

On Midgard descended the other Gods, LOKI the treacherous who escaped from his punishment with the help of his wife Sigyn (who took his place) and FENRIR, the Great Wolf. In Midgard also dwell the ALFAR, the ancient elves and the DWARVES, the master craftsmen who live underground.

And thus Humans prospered and evolved.

The Before Time

2,00,000,000 - 2,001,000,000

The Aesir (this is what the humans called the Gods) bestows the humans the knowledge of runes and with the help of Dwarves, civil living is slowly created. The first classes of warriors are created, but they were only three, the Swordsmen, Archers and Magicians. It was the ALFAR who would take the lead in the study of a primitive magic system which would later be known as The Arcana.

Development was very slow and add the fact that Development had tbe consistently halted due to the Aesir-Vanir war. To Put simply, the Vanir were gods who were not created by Divine energy (or Damned for that matter as Hel would only create monsters, not Gods) and therefore did not earn their right to be called Aesirs. The Vanir, determined to gain a rightful place in Asgard had declared war on the Aesir and with the help of the Giants of Jotunheim, they waged a war that would last for a million years.

This great war would be marked with the development of other job classes, the wielders of the Arcana who tapped into the same divine energies that Odin and the other Aesirs commanded gave rise to the clerics (though there was still no Church to speak of), and Loki, determined to be the only antagonist had given rise to what would later be assassins (again, there would be no Guild yet though). These primitive job classes weren't too different with their present incarnations except for the matter of less skills to speak of.

The Aesir-Vanir war saw the great destruction of many things. Especially when the Vanir would create the Cauldron of Nibelung from which Wyrms (not Dragons) could be born immediately. It is said that it was in the Aesir-Vanir war where the Valkyries were proven to be fallen. Each Valkyrie was given a single, certain Regalia from Odin and if this Regalia would be broken by any means possible, the Valkyrie could fall.

Vanirs have also seen Valkyries with powerful negative emotions, vengeance for example, could fall from grace with one easy push and the Vanir used this to their advantage.

This stalemate was eventually broken by the humans. The Aesir saw power in humans and granted those whom they saw fit to weild some of their weapons. These great heroes eventually tipped the tides of war and finally ended it.

After the great favor shown by the Aesir to the Humans, the Humans soon created religion.

2,001,000,000 - 2,002,367,026

After the war ended, the humans, elves, dwarves created primitives of what we would know today as Academies. Peacetime did not require warriors but more of supplies and some dwarves who weren't stubborn enough eventually taught men the ways of the forge, giving rise to the mercantile class (which would actually be the class of many kings to come). The great lands are traveled by great heroes such as Siegfried, Sigurd and many others and many a lands were established.

The magical energies circling the Aesir Vanir war would also transform sprites into LAPINES and gave rise to the SAPHAS. The world of Jotunheim, affected by the war would create the lesser giants known as MANUKS. Orcs also found their cognitive capacity to exist as their own race if not a primitive one (to take note, they HAVE been existing alongside humans but were more monstrous and walked on all fours with very beastly figures, they were created by Hel who had wanted to create her own version of Humans and failed).

The great kingdoms are established, Glast Heim for the humans, Geffenia for the humans and Alfars (elves), Juperos, Spelndide, Manuk and El Discastes. Orc tribes have also come to existence.

Great Demons came to rise as well, the first Dark lord came to existence alongside Baphomet, their existence would be hidden from the world until discovered.

Humans would forever have their own wars however and Glast Heim would create the members of the Chivalry, Legion, and the Church.

Peace would continue to wax and wane.

2,002,367,026 - 2,002,367,126

In this hundred years to come saw the expansion of Glast Heim with Yuno, Lutie, Al De Baran joining their ranks. Geffenia would acquire the land which would eventually be Rachel.

Beelzebub comes into existence and creates the Al-Beelzebub family as one of the more prominent royalties.

In the South, the great adventurers find the deserts and would eventually create Old Morroc. The God Loki creates the organization of Assassins but the tenets would still be in shambles and assassins would live in different families, each family is ruled by their most powerful assassin and would comprise the council that would include all the other families lead by their strongest assassin.

Juperos continues to further technology with the creation of a perfected outdoor plumbing system.

Dwarven Whitesmith Darren creates the ARBITERS, powerful weapons and set armors created to fight the greatest of monsters, among them was the Dragonslayer, Ogretooth, Inverse Scale and the Balmung.

2,002,367,126 - 2,002,368, 500

In these years came what would be the peaceful thousand year. The petty wars would end but the Aesir would also become more and more detached to Midgard and its Kingdoms. Here comes the existence of the more prominent demons.

The advancement of classes to their transcendants and 3rd class jobs were established thanks to the magic and knowledge of the Lapines and Saphas albeit a little primitive if compared to today's trans and 3rd classes.

By the end of this timeline would be the Rending.

The After Time ("After the Before Time" to be exact)
