The Age of Swords was an era in the history of Eo prior to The Convocation. This age was characterized by the conflicts and expansion of human kingdoms in a struggle for survival and domination of the world which lasted from approximately 1000 B.C to ??? B.C.
History
Dragon Civil War
For countless millennia dragons had dominated the world of Eo, However they considered themselves to be merely protectors hence why they hunted the tyrannical Shapers to extinction. As time went on some of the dragons were consumed by pride and decided to betray their kin in order to rule the world. What followed was a deadly civil war which significantly weakened the reptilians and resulted in the creation of a diabolical sub species called Devourers, these were the defeated traitor dragons who were tortured and had the Allfire taken out of their veins by the Guardians as punishment for their treachery.
Rise of Humanity
Dwarves depart the Grimwarg Mountains in search of mineral resources. They reach the Windwall where they stumble upon barbarian Humans living in caves. They are impressed by their intelligence and decide to culturally and technologically uplift the primitives. In the years that followed humans, thanks to their high birth rate, rapidly expanded to all corners of the world and established their own kingdoms. These petty kingdoms were often at war, be it with one another and or other races such as the Elves.
Birth of an Empire
Amidst all the turmoil and chaos which the world found itself in a mage of exceptional power whom the history would remember as Chlreus the Blessed One was born. He proved himself to be the greatest warlord of the Age of Swords and conquered each and every kingdom he sat his eyes on. Eventually he became the first god-emperor of the Hybernian Empire and solidified his dominion by hunting the dragons to extinction, although history would later reveal that a handful survived the onslaught.
