Imperial Timeline
Pre 1st Age
Pre Circa 4,000,000,000 BA: (Before Awakening)
The Creator god is Nohesis also know as "The Creator", or "The Wheel of time". It is not know how Nohesis came to be but Nohesis is the first real power that shows anywhere in the known universes. Nohesis is the true power of all creation. Nohesis awoke in its existence lying in a fetal position, gestating in a Pool of Magical energy, as he came to be he stood from the Pool of magic energy, and found himself standing with his head and torso in the Cosmos a Material plane where the laws of Physics allowed for the creation of ecological material life and his Legs Submerges in a endless Pool of Churning Arcanic powers, now knows as the Astreal sea. It was at this moment Nohesis saw its purpose, it then began the creation of exsistance within material plane.
Nohesis Creates a great landmass that he set afloat the Astreal sea, this will become to be known as Terrahime or the Material Anchor. In the earliest days, Terrahime was a mess, at first Nohesis struggled with balance. Nohesis realized life could not be without balance, at first Terrahime was two dark so Nohesis attempts to crate a source of light but failed in his first attempts at a light source he then discarded this failed project in to the Cosmos. This failed project will become one of the first planets, now refered to as Luna.
Nohesis then created the great light called Luminus a burning ball of fire to light and warm Terrahime. this worked but life needs balance so Nohesis flicks Luminus and sets in a cycle or revolution around Terrahime dipping into the the astreal sea for an equal time as it was aloft. Though this cycle eventually wained and the seasonal balance became off, causing issues in the balance of life, so Nohesis created Noctus a slightly ambient lit object the would set in the rotation with Luminus allowing the seasons to set in a perpetual balance, the only problem is that Luminus and Noctus will pass behind the failed "Luna", this causes a eclipse twice a day, once during the day and once at night.
Nohesis Watched his creation and tweaked the balances of it until it was a perfect balance of ecological life, during this time Nohesis tested different life on Terrahime. Tarrahime goes through many different Biologies, Terrahime seeing times of little to no daylight or night, times of ice, intense heat, extremly high or almost empty oceans, until Nohesis finds a perfect balance
Now that Terrahime was well balanced with Life, Death, Destruction, Rebirth, Order and Chaos, Nohesis became board with this, He then wanted to create sentient life. but he knew that if he did this, life would need higher powers to help keep the balance and even with Nohesises power they would need help
Nohesis poured much of his power in to weaving the creation of his Greater Gods, these beings created from portions of Nohesises direct power, he created the Greater goods each with its own focus of power in the balance. Now that Nohesis has his Gods and a balance he and then start to weave all kinds of life. Nohesis starts to Create the Planets and set them afloat in the Cosmos. Nohesis allowed his God to create lessor forms of life in the Material plane. over the mellenia Nohesis and his gods created Many Forms of life but not that of sentient life.
Circa 500,000,000 BA: When Nohesis started the creation of the Sentient races, Nohesis pulls power of life he poured into the Greater God Animus to create the Drcarians, a savage and keen hunter species, a Species of dragon like humonoids, that embodies pure primal instinct and Destruction, and then he made the Suemra, the Suemra are a similar race but the balance to the Drucarians, the Suemra had a deep understanding of the balance that is required in the universe. They also had a very firm grasp on the Arcane and both an understanding of the material and Astral planes.
Circa 350,000,000 BA: After the Suemra and the Drucarians, Nohesis created some other races on Terrahime, like Humans, Orcs, Goblins and Elves. Most of these races where scattered in tribes a crossed Terrahime, not ever having the true leadership or Intelligence to unite. The Elves being innate wielders of the Arcane with a connection to the Astral sea and the most civilized of the Sentient races, where taken in by the Suemra and taught about the Astral Sea and the *Arcane powers, and the importance in Arcanium crystal is to its manipulations, even how to travel great distances, even traverse to other realms using special Portals connecting different places within the Astral sea and the Cosmos, they created many of these Portals all a crossed the material realm, They called these gates Astral Gates.
Circa 250,000,000 BA: It was at this point Nohesis has grown comfortable with his creations both the Greater gods and the Sentient races. He then granted the Greater Gods The ability to create sentient life on there own and with it many other races where created Like The Tecknokiians, Xenarian, Krox, Arborians, Fairyfolk, Centaur and all the Animalkin and Insectkin races, sometime after this Nohesis left what he created and delved deep into the Cosmos and left the balance to his greater gods, but it was not long until the balance began to wane and Nohesis's gods began to show there powers to the creatures of the universe.
Circa 1,000,000 BA: The Dracarians and the Suemra ruled over most of Terra and the realms and fought one another to a bitter end where history is vague, but they fought until both sides where all but destroyed. Then the Dracarians somehow manage to hunt and exterminate all the Suemra despite the Suemra advanced understanding of the Arcane magics.
Circa 1,000,000 BA: After the end of the Sumra, The other races still existed as scattered tribes worshiping varies different higher entities to include excepting a slave life as a worshiper of the few remaining mighty Dracarians Tribes, this would come to be called the Age of the Destruction
Circa 500,000 BA: At this point with the fall of the Seumra, Exitar one of the other greater Gods mass the Orcs and Goblins in the first of the Great Green Tides and gives Primal Magics to the Dracarians and both races turning their eye toward the human Tribes on Terra. This caused the human tribes and slaves to start to unit and form nations to protect one another from the rising threats. But mankind still lacked the True Leadership they needed.
Circa 350,000 BA: The elves Fled the material realm into there Astral gates, the Sumra taught them to use. Then an elite elven team remained to destroyed all the remaining Arcane gates. This is referred to as the "The Severing" By the Elven Race.
Circa 250,000 BA: It was during this time called the Age of Adaptation, when the Sub species of humans where created because of the Natural adaptability that was built into the human race, Like Dwarves because they delved deep into the mountains and caves becoming shorter over generations and the Halflings grow smaller to cast less of a foot print on the surface of Terra while the Ogers grow strong a resilient to stand up to the treats on Terra. Also over these years is when many of the other Sentient races of the cosmos make there way to Terra, most likely using the abandon astral gate the elves and the seumra left behind.
Circa 10,000 BA: Ordinatus one of the Greater Gods Nohesis Created, saw the humans struggles against the Exitars creations, even with adaptations they never truly won only survived. Ordinatus felt bad for them so she stepped in which was not part of the balance of the realm of Terra, Ordinatus choose one man to become the Emperor of Mankind a demigod of divine wrath, marking the End of the Age of destruction and the Start of the Pre First Age Empire
Circa 5000 BA: Centuries go on and the humans continued to grow under the rule of the God Emperor who's true name has been lost to time. The humans fought against the powers of Exitar and pushed them back. The Emperor lead men to their first real victory against the Balance and that of the primal powers, though they where never able to exterminate the entire threat of Exitars creations, Exitar always took a liking to them and provided some sort of aid.
Circa 1500 BA: The creation of the Emperor maddened Havocus another Greater God and Ordinatus's Counterpart, because if Hvocs's sister could manipulate Things that much and Exitar will not punish her for she did to his favorite of there fathers creations, then he can do so as well. Havocus starts his move for power, Havocus claims the Astral sea as his own by tricking Magirial Greater God of the Arcane into giving the guardianship of the Astral realm. He turns the once calm Silver sea that was the arcane balance and churns it into a roiling Purple sea of Madness and chaos. Corrupting many that should attempt to pull from the once safe Astral sea.
Circa 1350 BA: The first Magi Order is formed and The way of Balance.
Circa 1100-953 BA: The Magi Order forms a new way the Way of Discipline, during this time the Magi ranks grow to a number they have never seen as the Magi is the only means to arcane teaching in the forming territories. but this leads to some magi seeing the throttling of power that is required to maintain a balance and discipline, some wanted more and some Broke From the Magi order and formed new ways ones that are more unbridled and destructive.
Year 953-551 BA: By this point there are 3 new Ways The way of Ruin, The Way of Rage and the Way of death. each with its own powers and allies, This is the official start of the Magi wars where All the orders fought until most all the Magi where dead. This war effected the Empire greatly as it caused many of the newly formed imperial territories to side with on another
Circa 551-326 BA: Following the Magi Wars Emperor crusaded in the name of Order, to for the territories anew, this is when many of the known Imperial territories where established and the Emperor then Unified them under the Imperial Law.
Year 326 BA: By this time the Forming Empire has seen many of the abominations, aberrations and vile spawns and beasts that unbridaled magics can produce. Because of this Order Justicus, the Null Maidens and The Witch Hunters are formed to root out Witchcraft and use of magic powers within the Empire, starting what is now called the Arcane Purge, during this time even the Magi where told by the First Emperor that there practice should cease as all Magic that is not divine in nature should be abolished and purged from the realms. The Magi then disappeared. Order Saw the Emperors Struggle to keep the corruptions at bay and what he may do to stop its Corruption, as the Emperor was an instrument of war and divine Wrath, sometimes refusing his own Demi Goddom because he was once was a man and does not understand why it was him chosen to be of such power and still not understand his role in her divine plan.
Year 0: Ordinatus was not pleased with the amount of corruption Havoc has caused, In the winter of this year Ordinatus meet with the Emperor and blessed the Emperor with two children, twins, Deamon his son and Selean his Daughter, later being refered to as the chilldren of Order, being truly bless creatures of Divine creation. Animus blessed this union of god and man and on the day of their birth, Animus Blessed every Human woman that birthed a child that day, with the first of the children of life, the beginning to what is now known as Divineborn. That day is the called The Awakening and is the end of the Pre first age Empire the start of the The First Age (Year 0) as well as securing an eternal boned between Ordinatus, Animus and the demigod Emperor of Man.
The First Age (year 0 – 5,000 AA)
Year 1 AA: After the awakening, the Presence of the divineborn became more apparent as the years went on and at this point the presense of corruption was minimal as the ban on the arcane in the Empire is still in effect and because of that it drove those arcane wielders into the darkest reaches of the world.
Year 666 AA: By this time Havoc has sowed lies, deceit, Murder, rage, Madness, Lust, treachery and Plague into the material world on a level life has never seen, many start to fall to the Will of the corruptive powers of the arcane sea. The most commonly worshiped became that of Havocus and this formed some of the First known cults of Havoc, one being the Dark Lords Children. Hovocus then used this worship as power to create the first Demons from within the Astral realm and bound his first Demon Gate to the Material plane Starting the 1250 year Demon wars.
Circa 850 AA: Somewhere around this time is when the 4th and last demon gate would be place on Terra, Deamon would lead the armies with his father against the Demons of Havoc while Selean focused on the faith. It was during the time period that the First angels made manifested and the Faith became common practice within the Empire and much of the older Primal ways where pushed away by the imperial people. Selean became the known as Saint Selean "Angel Caller" and the Emperor order the creation Order Demonius, the sisters of War and the Ebon Knights forming the First Crusades and began to hunt down Demon threats and protect Orders Name. It was at this time as well the Gold Host was created as a Personal army and Protection to the Emperor.
Year 1041-1147: The last Crusade began when Deamon, Selean, their father the Emperor and the Magi of Balance and Discipline makes a Stand for mankind and the realm of Terra. They began to push back the tides of demons that have been pouring out from 4 demon gates, the Emperor had the demons right at their gates, but Havoc was not done, Havoc poured all of his malice and hate into the 4 Titans of Havoc and over the next 5 years called The Great Stand, the Emperor managed to banish all the Titans but did not have the strength to close the rifts entirely. It was then the Elder Phoenix from within the astral dimension dispatched Half the elves he took to the warp long ago during the Severing, back to Tera along with a circle containing some of the most trained elves, The Eldar lords’ leaders of the Eldar/High elves. These elves helped mankind shut the rifts. The day the final rift was shut is known as the Banishing and marks the end of the Demon wars (year 1247 AA).
Year 1148-1247 AA: In the years following the demon war, Mankind saw no sign of any of the corruption just the occasional Green warband, Animalkin/insectkin event or Dracarian raid. The First Emperor turned his toward the Arcane after seeing its need in the closing of the demon gates and how the Divine and Arcane are one of the
same. The Emperor asked both the Magi and the Elves for aid in the pursuit to teach his people of the Arcane arts, the Astral sea, Arcanium and its power, how to use it, and teach people how to keep from the lure of Arcane corruption. The Elves where reluctant but the long forgotten Magi Embraced the Emperor gave him the knowledge. It was in the year 1247 AA the Empire officially ended the Arcane Purge and the Collegiate Arcana was established to properly train the mage but keeping regulations on spell use with the Writ of Sanctioned Arcanum as well as the Mothers of the Arcane were formed to take care of arcane users until there of age to be taught properly.
Year 1248-1425 AA: During these years the Empire Take a turn toward the Magical Arts and with the College exploring the Arcane and new Realms were found within the Astral sea. it is unclear if the college acquired or the Emperor gave the College the Astral Coordinates but with these they learn sail a ship Beyond the ocean into the astral sea and travel to other planes created within the it using a holy shielding to protect itself from the corruption, this comes to be known as Astral Plunges. Though the realms found are only that of the Arcane Like the realms of the Gods like the elemental plains and the Realms of Havoc and Order.
Year 1426 AA: As the arcane is explored by the Empire, an accident happens trying to make a permanent portal to the realm of the Fey, that ended in a massive crossing of this Magical fey realm and the Material Plane resulting in what is known as the Fairy Crossing, this is when the Fey Races made there way to the material plane, races like Faries, Centar and Changlings. This leads to the creation of the Order Fantasticus to learn how to deal with the new Sentience on the material plane and that of the Fey realm and its wonders as the Fey realm felt more like a parallel Realm then a separate Plane like the elemental planes, but more like the Shadow realm is to that of Terra or the Astral sea is to the Cosmos, but this is not confirmed by any archivist of the Empire.
Circa 1625 AA: The first Warp Raid happened. These where the elves left behind in the purple sea during the Severing, once the rifts where closed, the Titans of chaos Landed right on top of the remaining elves and the Elder Phoenix. Surprised and overwhelmed by the titans the Eldar Phoenix and the remaining elves surrendered to the Titans. They were all left to Crusillia not including the Elder Phoenix he went with Hayzildier, he dragged the phoenix deep in the his warped realm for his studies. The rest of the titans moved on deeper into the Astral sea. It was then Crusillia broke them all and turned them into Elvish models of herself lustful and overindulgent. These elves now call themselves the Night Elves or the Darkrye. They come from the purple sea and take what they want, when the want. Mankind attempted to stop them, but they rode Demon steads faster than anything seen before and took fast ships that covered the sea in day not months. Never really massing the Darkrye will be a thorn in the side of humanity forever.

He asked the very same enemy he fought thousands of years ago, he turned to Havoc and asked for help to over through his brother. In return, Deamon would Allow people to freely worship Chaos and the titans, their worship would fuel Chaos enough, so the Titans and their
armies do not need to exist on this realm, but more be summoned into or may manipulate the favored.
