This is the complete timeline for Yggdrasil!

Age of Discovery

Directly following the 100-Year War, the powers of the world agreed to properly regulate the usage of magics. Powerful archmages 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.

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.

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.
