The Atlantis Era
100,000 BC - Elves discover Atlantis and are welcomed with open arms by the Harmonic. They begin retraining in the art of science as well as the more recent art of magic.
90,000 BC - Atlantean Elven experiments with insects and animals leads to the creation of the Felinar and Mantis races. Meanwhile Demons do some experimenting of their own leading to the creation of such races as the Lizard Men, Trolls, and some of the true monsters.
80,030 BC - A set of twins are born; Doomslayer and Dreamslayer. Both eventually become Battle Mages but Doomslayer chooses to serve Order while Dreamslayer turns to Chaos.
80,000 BC - Height of the Atlantean empire. Doomslayer has many adventures involving saving Atlantis.
79,990 BC - Eventually after the loss of the Atlantean Mage King during an invasion by demons, Doomslayer becomes king. One of his greatest foes are the Lizard Men, who use their shape changing abilities to resemble human beings and infiltrate human civilizations with the intent of conquering them. Doomslayer manages to uncover most of the Lizard Men's plots and has many of them killed.
79,980 BC - Lizard Men sorcerers discover the Necronomicon, the ancient mystical tome penned by the Elder God Kali. Founding the first Cult of Kali, they begin experimenting with the spells contained within, looking for a method to cause their enemies to return from the dead. They are successful in resurrecting them as the first vampires and unleash them against their greatest enemy, Doomslayer of Atlantis. However Doomslayer proves more powerful than they realised and with Gaea's aid is able to destroy most of the undead. The surviving vampires flee to continental Eurasia. Doomslayer then hunts down and slays all of the Cult except for one. He flees and eventually settles in Eurasia, taking the Necronomicon with him. Over the next few millennia the tome passes through a number of different hands.
79,920 BC - Death of Doomslayer from natural causes. With no apparent successor available a ruling council is elected instead, the first form of democracy.
71,000 BC - Atlantis begins to slide into decadence and suffers from a number of invasions from the nation of Lizard Men as well as a rapidly cooling climate. Foreseeing that the approaching ice would eventually reach Atlantis, the ruling council has huge glass like domes erected over the city and fortify its foundations.
70,000 BC - Final invasion of Atlantis by the Lizard Men. To stop the onslaught, the council opens the magma pits which were the city's main means of heating. The Lizard invaders are all destroyed, but the magma release triggers a seismological cataclysm which causes a series of earthquakes throughout the continent. Atlantis sinks into the ocean. The Atlantean Harmonic relocate to Lemuria. A number of surviving Atlantean Elves who had been trapped on the outside relocate to northern Europe, but not before taking their revenge by releasing a bioweapon on the Lizard Men which would rob them of their shapechanging ability. In light of the rapidly approaching ice age these Atlanteans found their new homeland harsh and severe, and have to revert to barbarism in order to survive.
