First Age

Little is known about the First Age. For whatever reasons those that survived the end of the first age with its High Final Dawn that marked the birth of the Second remembered nothing of what had passed before, no doubt part of the very process of surviving the turning of the Ages. In fact, with our own more recent discoveries it seems quite likely that the First Age wasn’t the first age at all.

Many are familiar with Amora’s Night of Levity, enacted to make the past a forgotten thing an thus a history of his Scribes. Arguably Amora had valid reasons for wanting the truth about the past before his Empire to be clouded as it leant strength and stability to the Empire. Something it very, very badly needed at its birth and inception. For the Empire was born after the terror of that Ritual War known as the Chaos War.

With this in mind perhaps it then becomes possible to understand why those that survived the passing for the First Age might themselves have chosen to forget or hide the legacies of the First Age.

Primus, however, does not like secrets, and it is part of the nature of Primus that knowledge is rarely truly lost. Whilst fragmented secrets from the First Age are now being pieced together. Certain major events from the First Age are known to us.

It must be understood that we believe Primus at one time to have been a far far smaller place than it is now. Indications are that originally it extended no further than the borders that make the current empire. The Southern End of the World marked by the Brandin Mountains. The Northern End of the World marked by the Braeken Mountains. The East and West bordered by the Xathrean and Zanthean Oceans. It is unknown as to when Primus grew in a geographical sense but it is possible that such occurred during the First Age.
