TerraEarth Created- 0 T.D.
TerraEarth was created by the half-god boxxleman who presides over it. In his wisdom and benevolence he declared a certain group of people Administrators, Moderators and so forth to govern the planet. He also created the four elementals who watch over the passing of the planet.
He was assisted in this creation by his half-brother, RPGLunatic.

The Age of Dwarves-1 T.D.
Dwarves were arguably the first race on TerraEarth, at least in recorded history. They were fond of mountain caves and rugged facilities. They continue to exist even to this day, thought their dominion of the planet has long since ended. They were responsible for Grecliff, Talon Point and the Diamond Mine.

The Age of Elves-45 T.D.
The first record of Elves is from 45 T.D., at the city that remains one of their strongholds, Evegrow. Ruled by a Maiden and individual cities goverened by Mayors, the population is most notable for its gift with fine metals, and its contribution to the protection of the planet. Elves still abound even today. A slight decline has begun in their population, but not enough to cause alarm.

Rise of the Moon Tribe- 57 T.D.
A group of Druids and Shaman known as the Moon Tribe had religious dominance over the earth. Their ruins and campsites can be found pretty much everywhere on TerraEarth. During this time, they built many notable dungeons including Angkor Wat, and the caves in the Larai Cliff. It is rumored that they are also behind the power source of the Sky Garden.

Schism of the Moon Tribe, Rise of Astarica- 98 T.D.
The Schism of the Moon Tribe led to the rise of the "Sun Tribe" or Astaricans, who spoke the language Seleni, while the Moon Tribe stayed put and continued to speak Lunawi.

Fall of the Moon Tribe- 121 T.D.
The short-lived period of the Moon Tribe ended when a mysterious comet appeared in the heavens and clouded the judgment of the leaders. The eerie glow of the comet turned those who did not die instantly into the demons that wander the earth even today.

Slave Trade Begins- 144 T.D.
Centered in Freejia, the buying and selling of human lives became a major economic boon for the East Continent dwellers, as well as one of the most horrible documented crimes against humanity. Due to legal complications, as well as being a time before the Union of Kingdoms Treaty, administrative power of this barbaric act was limited.

Union of Kingdoms Treaty First Presented- 255 T.D.
The first attempt at bridging the social and economic gaps between the kingdoms of TerraEarth was the Union of Kingdoms Treaty. However, it was rejected due to severe complications that could not be overcome. In specific, it denounced slavery and demanded the uniformity of currency, something with the gold loving Dao could not accept.

The one thing that was agreed upon was the dependence of the three major continents, North, South and East to be united under one banner. These kingdoms agreed to help defend the crown of the current administrator.

Territory Incident- 327 T.D.
The Disputed Territory far to the south of the South Continent had trouble of its own. The kingdom was ruled by a hereditary regal bloodline, and local warlords were tired of it. They slaughtered countless lives in an attempt to erase all sign of the royal bloodline. The small village of Kineti was the first one to be hit.

Due to an extremely effective spy network, relief from boxxleman's army arrived within 24 hours, deploying from South Cape. boxxleman himself saved Rainichan and took her to South Cape at this time.

Aoiga served on the front lines as a Bladesman and eventually took control of the unit that won the decisive victory at the Tarrago Castle in the city of Paninske, which has long-since been torn down.

To those who came into TerraEarth's government after their continent was destroyed by the war, this "incident" is known as the War of Expansion. Some conspiracy theorists believe that it was all a hoax perpetrated by the government in order to bring all the kingdoms under one crown.

Union of Kingdoms Treaty Ratified- 332 T.D.
Almost 100 years after it was first presented, the treaty was finally ratified. Slavery was abolished and the planetary currency was made the Gem. This was also when eFlare took control of the Tower of Babel, becoming the first human to be made an administrator.

During this time, eFlare suggested making TerraEarth open to visitors from all worlds and all dimensions. boxxleman created many temples and portals which allowed visitors from many worlds to arrive.

Strangely, though, some of these outsiders have often referred to it as a "game", something which many residents find confusing, but dismiss as lingual complications.

The Dark Gaia Crisis- 345 T.D.
The heroes of TerraEarth had an encounter that changed the face of TerraEarth forever. The dark comet returned and the planet began to change. If it were not for the heroic actions of many of TerraEarth's finest, the world would have been destroyed by Dark Gaia.

+1.

Glad we've got an uber-veteran like you around to clarify these details.
