The Age of Echoes
The current historical age, defined by its Genesis Cataclysm: the Transmutation of the Aspects. It is an era not of grand cosmological creation, but of discovery, interpretation, and the rediscovery of lost truths from the great epochs that came before.
The Arcane Epoch
An age of great works and greater hubris, defined by its Genesis Cataclysm: the First Ignition of the Arcane Fonts. This era saw the rise of complex, structured magic, the formation of the Verdant Boughs, and the tragic fall of the Gladewardens.
The Primal Epoch
The first and longest of the great cosmological ages, defined by its Genesis Cataclysm: the Emergence of the Void Tree. It was an immeasurable expanse of time during which the first Primordial spirits emerged and the fundamental laws of Light and Shadow were established. Its early eons were marked by violent, chaotic Essence Storms, a reality that necessitated the formation of the Gahldrin to engineer a habitable cosmos.
The Spectral Epoch
A brief, violent, and transformative age defined by its Genesis Cataclysm: the First Incarnation of a mortal soul. This act initiated the Veilbound Cycle, which led to the rise of the Essendir and the subsequent cosmic backlash that birthed the Phasgoth.
The Wellspring Epoch
A geological age of conflict and creation, defined by its Genesis Cataclysm: the Sundering of the Wells. This violent act of sabotage unleashed Wellspring Magic upon the cosmos, giving birth to the Wellborn and defining an era of managing the perpetual crisis of the Wellspring Leakage.
