The current epoch of Auseka is the one dominated by humans. After the losses of elves, dwarves and other races during the Epoch of Destruction, mankind was one of the younger races to emerge among the survivors and quickly spread. From first settlements to the Empire of Vericum, just over two thousand years have passed.

Time is measured in Before Vericum (BV) and Aera Vericum (AV) by most scholars, and other calendars are translated to this counting for convenience.


Mankind Emerging

(TODO: first human settlements, humans stop being savages and start to be among the civilized races)

The First King

The first human civilization appeared in the south-west of Auseka, roughly 2,000 years ago. What little we know of it is from elves and from the inscriptions in the ruins they left behind. The period is named after King Akari, the first ruler of a human realm that is known by name.

The Magic Kingdom

A second fixed point of human history is the appearance of the Mage Kings of Kursa, in the Kingdom of Kursa in today's Grasalia, roughly the area between Osberg and Vopnafjor. From around 1,500 to 1,000 years ago, strong magic gave the humans of the north a powerful ally against the cold and winds. Many ancient ruins are left from those days, though most are invisible to the unknowing eye as they have been rebuilt and repurposed as temples for various religions over the past thousands of years. They are said to be located on especially magical places.

Founding of the Empire

Today is the year 67 AV and the new age of humans began with the founding of the Empire of Vericum, followed by peace treaties with its neighbours over the next few years, followed by peace all around within a decade.
