This is the complete timeline for Yggdrasil!

Age of Discovery

Directly following the 100-Year War, the largest ruling bodies agreed to properly regulate the usage of magics. Powerful archmages around the civilised world banded together to catalogue and keep track of the various powers in the world, forming the Scarlet Academy decades later to safely keep this information. Various other locations would also keep information and many governments would put forth laws regarding types of magics that were allowed to be used. While this is largely a collaborative effort to keep it regulated, not all types of magics were seen equal. Some parts of the world might consider Necromancy a forbidden magic, but others may consider some or all of that type be useful.

Age of Wilderness

The history before the 100-Year War remains largely a mystery, relics scattered throughout the world in hidden ruins or texts long forgotten in old libraries, abandoned or otherwise forgotten. The world populace was not as interconnected as today, information did not travel far as means of migration did not expand yet during this time. In addition to the lack of centralised recordings, many scriptures or other records from this era would also use varying forms of dating systems and so would be making it difficult for researchers to put together a coherent flow of the time.

Elven knowledge

The Sylvan Realm has by far the largest knowledge base in the world. The lifetime of elves allow them to better record or even witness notable events in time. That recorded knowledge is mainly kept in their large cities, such as Yls Dorei, or their knowledge banks in Aerthys. By their protective nature, access to these banks is forbidden and for many non-elven creatures even punishable by law. While some of it is accessible to their own, its access remains limited.
