Age of Men

The Age of Men marks the time when Humans started to become a much more significant population on Thalmir. There are currently four Ages that marks the Age of Men.

Pre-First Age
While the Humans settled along the coastline and the islands, they were considered to be of little concern or worth by many. Many humans during this time had to fight or die against not only nature but many other races that were already living in the area including the Elves.

First Age (4550 BHE- 4350 BHE) Age of Unity
Spanning for only 200 years, the First Age of Men was marked by the first establishment of a Human Kingdom on the Thalmir grounds. The First human kingdom, The Eranor Kingdom, was formed to protect and unite the humans in order to protect their race from facing utter ruin from various other races. This did lead to a lot of mistrust especially against the Elves despite the fact that they did ally with one another during the First Demon War.

This was also the age in which the Humans met the Dwarves for the first time as they expanded Eastward.

Second Age (4350 BHE - 102 BHE) Age of Order
Most effectively the longest age, the Second Age marked the division of the Humans and the unity of many various races creating multiple kingdoms and nations. As time passed, one nation united many of the nations forming the Eranor Empire bringing peace and prosperity to many.

The Second War
Coming down from the north, many goblins, orcs, and giants flooded the land and lay the place to ruins. This herald the introduction to the new race onto the mainland and began the consistent conflict along the border of the Eranor Empire. Eventually as time passed, the empire began to weaken eventually leading to the fall of the Eranor Empire.

The Third Age (101 BHE - 800 BHE) Age of Justification
This marks the rise of the Heldrath Empire up to the start of the fall of the Empire. The Third Age was considered to be the Age of Justification as the Kingdom of Helon and the Drathos Kingdom united forming the Heldrath Empire. They believed it was their rights to rule over all of Thalmir as they were to succeed in place of the Eranor Empire (which they overthrew). This led to many years of continual harsh fighting and the eventual creation of the new empire.

The Fourth Age ( BHE - 800 BHE) Age of Justification
This marks the rise of the Heldrath Empire up to the start of the fall of the Empire. The Third Age was considered to be the Age of Justification as the Kingdom of Helon and the Drathos Kingdom united forming theHeldrath Empire. They believed it was their rights to rule over all of Thalmir as they were to succeed in place of the Eranor Empire (which they overthrew). This led to many years of continual harsh fighting and the eventual creation of the new empire.
