Timeline

The First Age (Age of Beasts) - Falgalla
The age of beasts, as it was named by Men (called Falgalla by the Shaea) was the age before Men arrived in Ar'ta was the age when the original the Small Folk of Ar'ta roamed the lands. This was a time of great magic and great wisdom. Not much is known about this age, except what was written in Lanna legend.

The Second Age (The First Age of Men) Faltenne
The First Age of Men, as it was named by Men (called Faltenne by the Shaea) began around 40 years after Eldmannar (Men) arived through the Ice Caves of Norrokken on Ar'ta. The age was a dire and hard time for the Small Folk, many races were slaughtered in great numbers by the High Races, the Lanna, Eldmannar and Shaea near the beggining of the age, ending Falgalla.

The time of magic is ending, and the Shaea and Lanna dwindle and become rarer and rarer.

With the four Dragon masters at his back, he defeated the Marauders time after time, freeing the land of the slavers.
