[QUOTE="Evilhalfling, post: 2068613, member: 16991"] the world I am setting up is run exactly on your orginal premise. long lasting human empires last 300-400 years (only rome has beaten this- possibly early eygypt) Short lived empires last 100 and single ruler empires 20-30 and a drak age or decline follows the end of an empire, freqeuntly lasting the same length as the empire lasted. so in my world elves get a multipler of 5, dwarves x4, gnomes x3 halflings x1.5 [COLOR=YellowGreen]-5000 BHR [/COLOR]The Ancient Ones [COLOR=YellowGreen]-2000 [/COLOR] First Dark Age, Dwarf/ Orc Wars [B](1200 yrs from dwarf multiplier)[/B] [B]a bronze age culture, dwarves and orcs created then revolted against their creators creation similar to domestication of dogs, used as beasts of burdan. [/B] [COLOR=YellowGreen]-1000 to -500[/COLOR] BHR Golden age of elves [B] a short empire but remembered in legend elves were the first to use arcane magic and they ruled the world - well they had small scattered colonies where they opressed the primitive races.

Dates before the modern Era are approximate. Each age is named for the highpoint, none after the ancients actually controlled the entire continent. Visitors from other lands speak of the green Age lasting 1000 years (gnome/halfling), and the First and Second Ages of the Dragon Kings (human). Elves are still officially in a dark age - scattered around the world, and having learned most of their technology from humans. Horses were domesticated on another continent and while they were imported in large numbers in 0 -400 HR, they are no heavy war horses as there are on the other continent. Although I admit this was revised as I wrote it up for posting - with tech notes added. [/QUOTE]
