Across all eras

1680 — 1890

Historiographic chronicles written from inside the world, by narrators who disagree with one another. They are the source of the encyclopaedia and of what the continent believes it knows.

2 pieces
I

Age of Ash

1780 — 1815

The mountain splits over Ivandir and Hell comes up. The seven Seals break one a year, east to west — and whoever got warning is whoever rules today.

4 pieces
II

Black Crusades

1815 — 1837

Refounding. Every kingdom builds the institution that will carry its own wound — and none of them was designed to heal it.

3 pieces
III

Age of the Forge

1837 — 1860

Sanctified rail, blessed telegraph, mass-produced ammunition. War industrialises — and finds its own ceiling.

3 pieces
IV

Age of Empire

1860 — 1880

Pomp, electricity and armed missions. Eight bills are presented, and all eight answers are repression.

4 pieces
V

Age of Stagnation

1880 — 1890 +

The world discovers that the war will not end. Not soon, not late. It will continue.
