On Skazka, years are counted using an event known as Starfall as a point of reference. This was a global event across all peoples and lands. Starfall is deemed to have occurred at year 1.
Age of the Sun
The period of time prior to Starfall is commonly referred to as the Age of Sun. Written records from this time are rare, and are almost exclusively Elven or Dwarven. The further back in time we go the more embellished both spoken and written accounts become. As such, history from the Age of Sun is often considered to be 'mythical' and stated dates should be taken as approximations only.
Age of Ice
This era began with Starfall, a planetwide catastrophic event which instigated a mini ice age, and lasted for 700 years when a falling star crashed somewhere in the northern wastes of Kelos.
Age of Shadow
The third and current era began with the onset of military conflict that later became known as the Shadow war. It is a time of great upheaval and change. Although this war has ended, the forces which orchestrated the conflict still meddle in worldly affairs.
