Age of Monsters

This era is called the Age of Monsters because of the sharp incline of monster attacks – dragons in particular – and the Titan Army. Disease, widespread rebellions, and mega-monster migration contributed largely to a decline in population. The period was marked by large-scale wars between the Sheban and Fantasian Empires in the Great West and rise and fall of evil Titans in the Far East.

Emperor Terbulcus Reigns Over Niburu – Tobus Terbulcus was the successor to great uncle Samar Sidbaras to the Niburan throne. Having no sons of his own, Sidbaras named Terbulcus as his personal heir. This turned out to be Sidbaras’ undoing as Terbulcus hired an assassin to slay his uncle. Once on the throne, Terbulcus issued sweeping commands for the magical community to be rounded up and executed. This ignited animosity between Sadru (non-magical people) and sorcerers. This quickly boiled over to a war between the two groups.

Papermaking – The invention of paper revolutionized the spread of information by reducing its cost and ease of delivery to the masses. Paper was first made by shredding an assortment of leaves and pressing them together in a sheet. The original sheets were green but red, yellow, and orange was also common until this method was refined for standard white paper.

The Birth of Tara – Tara, the namesake for St. Tara’s Academy of Magic and Science, is born. (Reference: The Child)

Earliest Aphrcropolis Built – The earliest Aphrcopolis, worship center for the Aphrodesian faith, was constructed in Padelle (Pahd-ehl). Historians agree it was constructed by the last of Aphrodite’s Twelve Disciples. This was backed by first hand accounts from Lilly, Bastet, and Tara Hogan. The Aphcropolis was a large palace-like structure created to honor Aphrodite. It served as their main base of operations during the Western War until its destruction in 4110 FY.

Tara Hogan Becomes a Saint – Tara Hogan, a disciple of Aphrodite, earns her sainthood when she works to send aid to both sides of the warring Sadrus and Warlocks. (Reference: The Saint and the Sadru)

The Council of Twelve – The foundation of the Council of Twelve was established by remainders of the Egyptian and Olympian pantheons. The Council put themselves in charge of maintaining balance on Earth and Fabella by tightly governing matters of the state.

St. Tara’s Academy Established – The Sentinels found St. Tara’s Academy of Magical Arts and Sciences on the grounds of Old Hercules in Fantasia.

The Goblin Rebellion – Goblins rebelled in Avalon after the King attempted to ruin their trade business to align themselves with merfolk and dwarves. This rebellion followed a number of smaller clashes over the goblins’ precious trade and manufacture industry. This history of rebellion helped greatly in the goblins ability to maintain control over their assets.

Dragon Riders – Dragons were first domesticated and ridden by air forces in a variety of nations. The connection a rider shared with their dragon was often deep. So much so that when a dragon passed, their rider would usually die as well.
