Historical Timeline
The Age of Settlement
The Third Age – the Age of Settlement – was when the original Khelims wandered the land. It was an Age of courage, exploration, consolidation, and culturalization and also when the Asken folk arrived in Braided Shore.
When the Exploration Era of the Third Age came to a peaceful close, settlements and homesteads had grown, eventually becoming prosperous towns and cities. The largest of those settlements became small kingdoms around Braided Shore.
The Third Age straddles the line between the mythical Ages of the Eldens and the Varhims, and the nascent historiography of the Halzhaan Age. As such, stories of the Age of Settlement have a curious air of both fairy tales and facts.
The Age of Settlement is commonly divided into three Eras: the Exploration Era, the Consolidation Era, and the Culturization Era. The Age came to an end after the tumultuous time of the Cobalt Eclipse and the Lords’ War.
