This category enumerates the major historical ages of the universe.

Overview

Lore about history comes from a variety of sources, and with a variety of accuracy. Generally speaking, the older the history, the rarer and less reliable the information.

Calendars

While there are many calendars across the cultures of the setting, for simplicity and consistency, the dates given in this Wiki are IR, or Integral Reckoning. OIR refers to Old Integral Reckoning, before the Time Storm and NIR refers to New Integral Reckoning, after the Time Storm. No known calendars are able to determine the duration of the Time Storm.

The chronological order of historical ages is as follows:

Lost Age (No known calendar): The age where Titans battled for control of the universe. Unspecified duration.
First Age (OIR 9615 - OIR 6143): The age of the Founders and their domination over the Titans. 3472 years.
Gilded Age (OIR 6143- OIR 1): The idyllic age of The Integrum. 6143 years.
Shattered Age (NIR 1 - NIR 1295): The first cataclysmic age of The Integrum. 1295 years.
Dark Age (NIR 1295 - NIR 2157): The second cataclysmic age of The Integrum. 862 years.
Dawn Age (NIR 2157 - 2307, Present): The current age of the universe. 150 years.

Acrolon Calendars

Dawn Calendar: This refers to each year by its cultural name in Acrolon. For example, "Dawn Year 10" means the tenth year of the Dawn Age, which would be NIR 2167. The ages of this calendar are:
- Shattered Years: 1 through 1295 (same as NIR year designation)
- Dark Years: 1 through 862 (corresponds to NIR 1295-2157)
- Dawn Years: 1 through 145 (corresponds to NIR 2157-present)
