	~~In the years following The Cleansing~~, ~~only Lathlenn was untouched by the Cleansing Mist~~, ~~protected as it was by Soluna's Barrier~~.		These are very brief time points for each continent, hitting on major events but with less detail than a full retelling would have. Many events took place between these major ones, small advancements and changing borders, too many to list here right now.

	~~With~~ the ~~Blessed Races~~ on the ~~other continents removed~~ the ~~lands began~~ to ~~reclaim those settlements~~ and empires.		=== Lathlenn ===
			Lathlenn was unaffected by the Cleansing, protected by Soluna's Barrier. The human population was very small at the beginning of '''12000 BC''' and struggled against the natural dangers of the world. Huddled as they were at the base of Mount Camborn, slowly they developed tools and settlements. The massive mountain provided all they needed for the time being, it's forested foothills and abundant wildlife provided foods and skins, the mountain itself provided the wonder for exploring. By '''11000 BC''' the first of the human nations would be formed at Mount Camborn, the Yrrimite settlement grew to encompass other settlements and soon became a nation. Humans slowly began to drift out of their home, spreading out through Lathlenn, first westward, then north, south and finally eastward. By '''6823 BC''', humans had officially spread to every corner of Lathlenn and the modern era had begun. The founding of the nation of Ezzin on the far south-eastern coast would give rise to the first Empire of Lathlenn, it's reign lasted just over 1000 years and led to an age of advancement, but also high brutality. The fall of the Ezzin Emporer Hazzik II fractured the continent once again, and many were the city states and petty warlords eager to claim some form of legacy for themselves. Borders changed frequently and by '''1900 BC''' Lathlenn had seen the rise and fall of dozens of kingdoms and city states as well as 3 additional empires, though none could match the longevity of the Ezzin, nor leave so much still in use infrastructure such as the First Way.

	~~In '''6823 BC''' Humankind had finally spread to all corners of Lathlenn and a number of kingdoms and empires rose and fell over the course of those 1000s of years.~~

	In '''1545 BC''' the first ~~human ships left~~ the ~~shores~~ of ~~Lathlenn~~ and ~~began plying~~ the ~~seas~~ around ~~the continent~~ and ~~it didn't take long for these ships~~ to ~~find~~ the mist wall~~, a seemingly impenetrable wall that never dissipated or even reacted~~ to ~~light. Many sailors~~ and ~~explorers sailed into~~ the ~~Mist only to be never seen again~~.		In '''1545 BC''', where Braedon would be, an intrepid coastal fisherman would launch the first ship, a massive vessel by the standards of the time. Designed to withstand the brutal waves and high winds of the sea, Grev Woodstock would launch his 2 mast schooner and return 2 weeks later reporting that he had encountered a wall of mist but dared not sail any closer. All around Lathlenn, ships using Grev's design and various improvements would launch, many not to return after piercing the mist wall. Travel around the edge of the continent was faster than ever giving rise to new communication and the spread of technology.

	~~In '''31 BC''', a small part of the Eastern Peninsula of Sulawei is found poking out from the Mist causing a large stir in various courts of Lathlenn~~

	In '''26 BC''', ~~Perl is founded~~ on ~~this new piece~~ of ~~land by Damien Perl~~ and ~~with some gold and silver deposits in~~ the ~~land below~~, ~~a prosperous city grows~~.		'''910 BC''' was the first year of the 'Modern Era' of Lathlenn, firstly the nation of Orilon formed in the ruins of old Ezzin followed shortly after by the central nation of Camborn (born of the two dozen or so city states that occupied the area), named for the home of humanity. These two nations would go on to forge diplomatic certainty for all other nations, using Queen Philia of Orilon's diplomatic ability and the raw militaristic might of the newly formed Camborn nation. Slowly over the next 900 years, did the nations of Lathlenn as we know them formalise.

	=== The Cataclysm ===
			It was in the year '''537 BC''' that Ferghill, formalised the practice and teaching of magic. Prior to Ferghills treatises on the subject, magic was mainly the realm of sorcerers and in some countries completely outlawed but from his tower in south western Lathlenn, Ferghill would codify the laws of magic use, research and practice that would lead to the rise of mages being in every court in the land. In '''510 BC''' an accident at Ferghill's tower led to his demise and a massive tear in the land itself around it. One of his surviving students would take what could be scavanged of his writings and with it form the great nation of Ferghellin, the home of magic in Lathlenn and the arbiter of all mages across the continent.


			In '''31 BC''', a small part of the Eastern Peninsula of Sulawei is found poking out from the Mist causing a large stir in various courts of Lathlenn, there was a race to collect information and attempt to claim this land for one of the major nations but in '''26 BC''', Perl is founded on this new piece of land by Damien Perl, an independent trader aided by the Ordarian priest Marrik Slaghurst and with some gold and silver deposits discovered below the settlement, a prosperous and powerful naval city grows.

			=== Sulawei ===
			With the silence of the Cleansing falling upon the world, not much happened for the first few thousand years in Sulawei.

			==== Northern Sulawei ====
			In Northern Sulawei, the forests began to reclaim the lands of the Elves, the carefully cultivated gardens, parks and forests of the High Elves would overgrow and take over their confines. Beautiful roads and bridges, a craft honed over 1000s of years of use would crack, break and the vegetation would take over. Over time, the occasional explosion would be heard as a mechanomagical device failed, the sudden sound startling the wildlife that had begun to take over the old cities.

			In '''7671 BC''' a massive explosion wrecked havoc in a hidden laboratory in Elion, the land remained scarred for centuries but untold horrors crept out of the ruins of the lab, the cries and screams of abominations without count would echo throughout the forests and silence the natural wildlife for years.

			In '''2198 BC''' after a ferocious territorial battle in the Eastern Ilphas Jungle between green dragons resulted in an ancient dragon called Calphalax relocating her brood and lair to the ruins of Fenlamin on the shores of Lake Llamiryl.

			Between '''2000 BC''' and '''1000 BC''' a massive migration of Frost Giants into the Frozen Call occurred, these giants having migrated over from the Forgyth Islands.

			In the blighted lands of the Western Ilphas Jungle, called Longwind's Folly, a portal structure erupts from the ground and opens in '''614 BC'''. Stepping out of the massive portal, several hundred haggard Tieflings blink in the harsh light of Altair, unsure of their surroundings they desperately attempt to survive in this harsh, unknown land.

			In '''114 BC''' a large scale battle between new arrivals the Eladrin, who had managed to ally with Tieflings from Eastern Longwind's Folly, and the Green Dragons of Eastern Ilphas Jungle resulting in the dragons having to go into hiding or moving to other jungles and forests in Sulawei. The Eladrin took over the jungle and cultivated it to be a wilder place, no longer under the yoke of the Greens.

In what was considered a blessing, all 4 females of the group became with pup at the same time; however tragedy struck when 3 of the mothers died giving birth leaving Bhioctoria to raise a litter of 21. Despite the hardship of keeping 21 pups fed and sheltered, Bhioctoria refused to give up and worked alongside the men to gather enough food and supplies to keep all 21 alive. When they were able to fend for themselves and help the family, Ord uplifted Bhioctoria as '''Anymine''', the Mac'Tirnen God of Family.

	'''35811 BC''' - As Mac'Tirnen societies grew, and the families and clans associated, so too did strife and it became increasingly common for groups to fall to war especially between those considered "Purebred" (whose features were all similar in the clan and praised) and "Mut" (where features were more varied between individuals). It was in this rising conflict that Ceana, Matriarch of a ~~Purebred~~ clan began her great work of unifying Mac'Tirnen society into one empire, this took many decades and to prove her dedication to unification joined her clan with a Mut clan whose matriarch had passed without successor. After a long campaign that was ultimately successful, the Cean Empire was born and when Ceana was ready to pass with her daughter succeeding her, Ord uplifted Ceana as '''Metensia''', the Mac'Tirnen God of Society.

	'''33899 BC''' - Moire was a clanless woman, a Mut whose clan was wiped out with dozens of desert villages during a tempest of a sandstorm. She wandered the deserts of Kahlens and became a legend, an angel in white robes who would swoop out of the sands to save those in need. Some years passed and during another sandstorm season, Moire came across a dead ~~Purebred~~ with 4 pups. She sheltered and fed the pups to keep them alive. When she carried them to a village she knew of nearby another sandstorm whipped out suddenly, she kept the pups safe with her body and bore the brunt of the fast moving sands and winds. Once the winds wound down and the villagers could leave their homes, they found Moire on deaths door with 4 safe pups in her arms. When she took her final breath, Ord uplifted her as '''Helleboris''', the Mac'Tirnen God of Deserts.

Lili was a young pup of a ~~Purebred~~ clan, the clans ascendancy was assured by a proposed marriage into the royal family. This unfortunately made the family a target for the machinations of political maneuvering and it was one such plan that resulted in the slaughter of Lili's entire clan. Lili survived by covering herself in the blood of a brother and pretending to be dead. This began the years long cat and mouse games as her opponents hunted for her. Lili grew practiced at surviving their attacks and eventually found the perpetrators of her familys downfall and was able to infiltrate and retrieve proof, surviving even a deviously placed acid trap to do so. As Lili presented this information to Empress Sileas, Ord uplifted her as '''Petira''', The Mac'Tirnen God of Survival.

	It wasn't long before Ord turned back to the Corind Archipelago and in '''29549 BC''' among the wild jungles and shifting shores he placed the Tabaxi, the very idea of adventure and carefree attitude made manifest. Ord made sure to scatter the Tabaxi among as many of the islands as possible, to give them room to grow before their adventurous nature might lead to the extinction of the whole race. It didn't take long for the Tabaxi to embrace their nature and look for ways to escape their island confines and with this desire came the invention of boats and then ships allowing the Tabaxi to truly live their ideal adventures.

Humankind was created with no particular ideals, a blank slate on which to inscribe their own paths. For the first several thousand years, humans did not leave the lands around Camborn, only spreading so far as to keep the peak in sight, which they seemed to revere. In '''12678 BC''', a tribe of humans was taken by Azak the Collector, but hesitating, worried that Ord might notice, Azak dropped the human tribe on Shrouded Talgen and quietly retreated back to their cosmic vaults.
