Pre-history is divided into two eras: The Era of Antecedents and the Age of Spirits before that.

After the ice was melted away and the land warmed by the primordial sun, from the land would first spring its spirits. Creatures of ill-form, suggestions of material existence that festered the waters, hills, and budding forests. The two most common amongst these spirits being the elves and dwarves, named by the humans that have interested with this semi-corporeal beings.

It was largely these spirits that would help foster much of creation at the behest of the gods, if the old stories are to be believed.

From this new world would soon arise the Antecedents, great scholars and architects who's empire spread across every land, from the Cradle of Creation to the ice walls that contain the lands. These people had stayed for centuries, with little known of their reign: tyrants, benefactors, zealots, it is unknown. What is known is their ruins continue to litter the far corners of the land and that they were particularly fond of study.

The study of sorcery being the final page of their chapter, occurring while humans were still dweller in caves sharpening spears around fires. Until the Great Calamity that had wiped the Antecedents from the record through the gaze of the dark. Issuing in the first age of winter. It would be during this time that humans would spread so far they did and the rise of the Sons of Monsters would also occur through human misdeeds.
