Pre-Tulkon Era

The Pre-Tulkon Era, sometimes known as the Post-Infinite War Period, was a period in history that lasted from approximately 500 BT to 0 BT. IT began with the end of the Infinite War and the resettlement of the world by the Four Earthly Peoples, and ended with the birth of the Tulkon.

The PTE is best known as a period of cultural development. The Four Earthly Peoples were only just beginning to expand, and after 10,000 years of isolation, were still unready to interact with each other on a large scale. Neighboring cultures had some connections, mostly limited to trade and war, and developed mostly in isolation.

Notable events from the period include the development of many of the core ethnic groups of the Four Earthly Peoples, the formation of the Iloisa Empire and its wars with the neighboring A'Roafan Elves and Mul Dwarves, the expansion of the Orcs across the Southern Garden Continent and the founding of Savatism, the great Elf migration to the west and the founding of Däeism, and the foundational technological advancements of the Dwarves.

The PTE ended with Bytu, a human from Iloisa, becoming the Tulkon. Bytu was granted incredible magical, spiritual, and intellectual abilities that he used to bridge the gaps between the world's various peoples throughout his lifetime. Bytu's travels resulted in a less isolated and more interconnected world, setting the stage for the Tulkon Era.
