The history of {{SotA}} is still evolving, and the backstory has not all yet been revealed. The [[New Britannian Calendar]] dates starts with “[[Cataclysm|The Fall]]”, a lunar calamity that destroyed much of the Old World. {{SotA}} begins 400 years after this, and is maintained by years “Post Cataclysm” or “PC”. Events from before the cataclysm are dated with the “Britannian Calendar” or “BC”, however history from this time is uncertain and vague.

{{Spoiler}}
==The Age of Shardfall==
0 P.C. - The two Moons collided, shattering the larger to form [[Daedalus]]. Shards of the smaller fell, devastating the land and its people. Notions of magic and science were tilted on their heads. The [[Shard Fall]]s appeared, as did new magicks and strange new creatures.

c. 1 P.C. - To escape the devastation, mankind was forced to live underground for some unknown amount of time.<ref>[https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=33837 Cave Fables]</ref>

==The Obsidian Empire==
c. 100-200 P.C. - An orphan is born in a small village on the River Meino, near Rhun. He demonstrates a talent for conjuring and shaping magic, and used it to aid farmers and travelers in the village. Eventually, he steals the book known as Lamentation of the Fall and crosses the Vaughban Mountains into the Grunvald Plains, eventually finding the first of the Shard Falls. Eventually, he masters this new magick and calls himself the [[Obsidian Eye]]. Others with the gift for magic came to apprentice to him, forming the [[Obsidian Cabal]].

The fortress of Desolis becomes the headquarters of the Obsidian Cabal. The Obsidian Eye uses the Destiny Pool to foretell the [[Dire Prophecy]].<ref>[[Blade_of_the_Avatar/Sword_of_Midras|''The Sword of Midras'']], [[Blade_of_the_Avatar/Blade_of_Midras/Prologue|Prologue: ''The Destiny Pool'']]</ref>

Inspired by the prophecy, the Cabal formed a large army and became leaders of the [[Obsidian Empire]]. The [[Army of Obsidian Triumph]] conquered the warlords and city-states of Novia, bringing most of the continent under singular rule.

c. 200 P.C. - [[Aren Bennis]], a captain in the Obsidian army, found an [[Avatar Blade]] beneath the conquered city of [[Midras]]. Using it, he turned from [[Milos Karpasic|General Karpasic]]'s army and defects to the [[Council of Might]], who oppose the Obsidian efforts. He travels to [[Opalis]], where he meets the [[Titan]]s and asked to protect the city's greatest treasure: knowledge accumulated over many centuries. They are able to trick the Obsidian army into attacking the neigh impregnable [[Citadel of Opalis]], as they escape with the valuable books while disguised as refugees.

The Titans use the knowledge of Opalis to construct the [[Oracle]] in the Grand Confirmatory in [[Central Brittany]]. Sometime later, they have each established their place in other cities: [[Sequanna]] lives within the city of [[Ardoris]]. [[Granus]] becomes king of [[Norgard]] and has two sons [[Ferig]] and [[Demig]], who are involved in a war with the [[Kobold]]s. [[Boreus]] travelled to [[Xenos]] to instill knowledge.

c 400 P.C. - Recent rumors have that the Titans have gone missing from their home cities, but where they have gone or when they left is subject to some debate.
