Market Calendar[edit | edit source]

The Market Calendar was first established in 3E 1165 by the first emperor of Alenthyl, Avangantamos Capewell II. This calendar unites the previously convoluted and confusing arrangement of calendars between all cultures in greater Aevonhold for trade purposes. The calendar establishes four seasons with various holidays (Deep Cold, Bright Dawn, Full Bloom, Harvest Call) and 240 days culminating into the official calendar year.

The Eras[edit | edit source]

Prehistoric Eras[edit | edit source]

  1. The Era of Birth - The beginning of all creation. Many stories of this time are told in Aevonhold. Some closer to the truth than others.

Modern Eras[edit | edit source]

  1. First Era - Era of Prosperity - The First Era lasted 784 years, this era marks the beginning of loosely recorded history.
  2. Second Era - Era of Dominion - The Second Era lasted 2458 years, most of the structure present in the later years of this era would continue on into the Third Era.
  3. Third Era - Era of Promise - The current Era in which Solstice Roleplay takes place.

Era of Birth[edit | edit source]

  • The Arcane exists as a powerful, unintelligent all-encompassing force in an age without time or space.
  • The First Astral Beings are birthed within the Astral Plane, alongside all physical planes, realms and the first mortals.
  • The Astral Beings are created in all different manner of forms, some with physical purchase on the realms themselves and others with no real attachment to anything outside the Astral Plane.
  • When the final moments of creation subside, all physical planes are cast away from each other.
  • The first Astral Beings gain consciousness.
  • As the first Astral Beings awake, they begin to reach across the realms, calling out to the first mortals.
  • As a result, many of the infinite realms are destroyed and those that are not immediately destroyed are then infused with the Arcane.
  • Many mortals begin to worship the first Astral Beings, viewing them as deities and all powerful creators.
  • Various ancient societies come and go during this era, with most if not all evidence of their existence wiped from Aevonhold as time passes.
  • The first mortals establish a connection to the Astral Plane and with it the ability to cast magic, an art learned from tomes copied from the astral constellations in the skies of the Astral Plane.
  • In an attempt to become more powerful, the first Astral Beings exploited the mortals worship, planting in them a parasitic direct connection to their power.
  • Before they can realize their mistake, the connection that has been given to the mortals virtually renders all of the first Astral Beings mortal themselves. They would now need to continue to gain power from their connection to mortals to sustain life.
  • Though the cause is unknown, Aevonhold undergoes a drastic change, as much of the Arcane power infused throughout the realm disappears. This causes mortals to lose a significant amount of Arcane power, resulting in the Arcane Gift becoming quite rare in many bloodlines.
  • The landscape of Aevonhold would change drastically over the many millennia that it survives, oceans rise and fall, the land splits and collides creating various formations as time marches on.
