The invention of the wheel by humans in the Erikun Tribe of Kathara effectively began the Age of Civilization. The Rise of Punt was notable in this era because Punt was the ancient precursor to the Sheba Union, one of the most powerful countries in the world throughout history. Punt started out in Kathara as a city led by the harpies, but goblins took over in the Second Dynasty. Major innovations in this age included grooming habits, monuments, early writing, and magic staffs.

The Age of Dynasties was also the Age of War. Conflicts between budding empires and people which had been brewing for centuries eventually boiled over and wars erupted all over the world. The most notable war on record was the Sea Peoples Rebellion, which took place between the kingdoms of Punt and the underwater kingdom of Niflhel. Ancient Punt at this time was controlled by the harpies and Titans, so this conflict was literally one which pitted the sky against the sea. The greatest battle of this war was the Battle on Embasin Cove. Other notable conflicts included the Kernies invasion of Cambia in Astar, Trismacus the Conqueror’s Twelve challenges, and the Puntian Civil War. The Republic of Fantasia was also established in this era which led to the first hospitals, schools, and theater auditoriums in Fabella. Fantasia was also the first kingdom to develop the alphabet and volleyball.

The Age of Marvels saw the reign of witches and wizards known as “The Olympians” gain power over the west. It began with the Battle on Mount Olympus. The birth of Aphrodite and the events surrounding her life were regarded as extremely pivotal moments in history.  Other notable events in this time period included the rise of the Niburan Republic, the beginning of the Silverbow Dynasty in Nysa, the invention of coinage, the 365-day calendar, and the rise of Unitisia.

This era is called the Age of Monsters because of the sharp incline of monster attacks – dragons in particular – and the Titan Army. Disease, widespread rebellions, and mega-monster migration contributed largely to a decline in population. The period was marked by large-scale wars between the Sheban and Fantasian Empires in the Great West and rise and fall of evil Titans in the Far East.

Emperor Terbulcus Reigns Over Niburu – Tobus Terbulcus was the successor to great uncle Samar Sidbaras to the Niburan throne. Having no sons of his own, Sidbaras named Terbulcus as his personal heir. This turned out to be Sidbaras’ undoing as Terbulcus hired an assassin to slay his uncle. Once on the throne, Terbulcus issued sweeping commands for the magical community to be rounded up and executed. This ignited animosity between Sadru (non-magical people) and sorcerers. This quickly boiled over to a war between the two groups.

Papermaking – The invention of paper revolutionized the spread of information by reducing its cost and ease of delivery to the masses. Paper was first made by shredding an assortment of leaves and pressing them together in a sheet. The original sheets were green but red, yellow, and orange was also common until this method was refined for standard white paper.

The Birth of Tara – Tara, the namesake for St. Tara’s Academy of Magic and Science, is born. (Reference: The Child)

Earliest Aphrcropolis Built – The earliest Aphrcopolis, worship center for the Aphrodesian faith, was constructed in Padelle (Pahd-ehl). Historians agree it was constructed by the last of Aphrodite’s Twelve Disciples. This was backed by first hand accounts from Lilly, Bastet, and Tara Hogan. The Aphcropolis was a large palace-like structure created to honor Aphrodite. It served as their main base of operations during the Western War until its destruction in 4110 FY.

This history of rebellion helped greatly in the goblins ability to maintain control over their assets.

Dragon Riders – Dragons were first domesticated and ridden by air forces in a variety of nations. The connection a rider shared with their dragon was often deep. So much so that when a dragon passed, their rider would usually die as well.

The Expansion Age was an era when people started to spread out. The push to explore and expand boundaries extended to nations all over the world as many wars began largely in response to invasions from neighboring countries. This era marked several important discoveries. Notable concepts included magical physics, biological effects of shapeshifting, and the printing press.

The Age of Revolution was a major turning point for the history of Fabella. Notable revolts in this period are the First and Second Halfling Uprising, and the Sheban Civil War. This period was marked by revolutionary concepts such as Blind Trials, the Neverland Treaty, and Democracy. 

Tobacco – The tobacco leaf was introduced to Fabella. Tobacco leafs were not indigenous to Fabella. Their introduction started a period of covert trade between Earth and Fabella. Tobacco became somewhat of a delicacy as a result of its rarity, largely becoming attributed to people with high wealth and privilege.

The Invention of the Steam Engine – The invention of the steam engine would ultimately lead to a period of fashion in the Machine Age where steam-powered accessories and weapons were in heavy use. This fashion became known around cultural circles as “Steampunk.”

Halfling Revolution – The Halfling Revolution was the result of years of toil and hardship for dwarves, trolls, and especially entics. This was the first time in history they banded together to demand equal rights. They lost the war and a long period of slavery continued.

Avalon – Avalon, first unified as a country during the Age of Monsters, became the first major superpower in Fabella. Avalon’s extension across the Eastern Hemisphere of Fabella put them in heavy conflict with The Republic of Fantasia and the Sheba Union. At its height, Avalon was the largest country in the world during this period and dominated trade throughout the globe due in part to their many colonies spread across six continents.

Afterlife Consultants – Afterlife consultants started to conduct screenings on the dead. The job of an afterlife consultant was to tell loved ones if their departed family members were in heaven or hell. They would also be called upon to provide guidance received from ones ancestors.

This profession was a huge scam. Consultants would accept monetary bribes from clients wanting to boast about their ancestor’s status in heaven. Those who wouldn’t pay out were constantly told their ancestors were in hell, and this greatly affected employment opportunities.

Libra 6th | September 28th

The Bombing of Hercules: When Bastet and Thoth were rumored to be in Hercules, Emperor Chronos ordered that the city be bombed. The bombing of Hercules reduced the city to rubble. Over 1500 were reported dead. The event coincided with an assassination attempt on Emperor Chronos by Silas Kilgrave.

The Technology Age was the height of life in Fabella. It took place from 5970 FY | 1970 AD – 6011 FY | 2011 AD. Major acheivements in technology during this period included artificial limbs, genies being made public, and magical detection meters. The most notable war in this period was Continental War III between the Sentinels and Titans. 

The devastating detonation of nuclear bombs across Fabella ushered in the Age of Apocalypse. In the wake of this incredible world changing event, survivors struggled to keep their lives and families together. As economies tanked and a global epidemic began wiping out all those who were left, it became clear that was not an option. By 6016 FY | 2016 AD proof that magic spread disease was discovered causing all use of sorcery to be outlawed. Huge numbers of refugees migrated to Earth to rebuild their lives following years of hardship as governments collapsed and Fabella descended into anarchy. Other notable events included the rise of Tharsis, fall of Elpis, Martial Law in Avalon, Stephanie started time traveling and — of course — the end of Fabella.

Sagittarius 30th | December 21st

Decimation Day or Death Day was the day that the detonation of nuclear bombs by a secret paramilitary group all over Fabella plunged the world into anarchy. This began the largest economic collapse in history, leading to the fall of governments and countries across the world.

In an effort to contain the radiation poisoning resulting from the nuclear bombs and other attacks following Decimation Day, magicians tried to cast shields over affected communities. This had an unintended consequence though, as the spells cast to put up these shields were the direct cause of a global epidemic known as “The Saga Virus.”

A proven link between magic and the spread of bacteria causing diseases like the Saga Virus was finally verified. This followed hundreds of years where speculation on the nature and cost of magic ran rampant. Governments across the world had always denied a link between magic and infectious diseases. It wasn’t until 6016 after billions of Fabellans were wiped out by the Saga Virus that remaining leaders were forced to acknowledge the truth. They had no choice but to ban the practice of magic.
