The Second Era
The Second Era began when Marcus Redian conquered the known world in the 830th year of the First Era. Marcus declared himself emperor of all Arkhalea and founded the Empire of Redian. The dynasty started by Marcus continued for almost three millenniums as Redian remained the global superpower. In the year 2856 of the Second Era, Hrogim Redian IX was assassinated and left the Empire of Redian without an heir. After almost a century and a half of steady decline, the nation made a breakthrough that would change the world.

The Third Era
In 2991 of the Second Era, the best and brightest of the Redian Empire began the Magic-Industrial Revolution. The Magic-Industrial Revolution ushered in a new age, and historians have defined this as the beginning of the Third Era. Redian grew from rock bottom to a superpower once more - their lost territory was recaptured and less than a century into the Third Era Redian controlled the entire world again. In the year 365, construction began on The Red Spire to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Sarkhis Dynasty. The entire industrial capacity of Redian was repurposed. Generations lived and died during the construction of the massive tower which would reach past the clouds and into the heavens. The arrogance of man was at an all-time high when the Red Spire was finally completed, and the anger of the gods was at its breaking point. The Third Era ended after exactly 777 years with the events detailed in The Falling.

The Fourth Era
The Fourth Era tells the tale of the world as it is now. (2-3 more sentences of summary here.)
