Story
Dark Ages is set across Temuair and Medenia, with an official history and a large body of player-created lore, philosophy, art, and literature.
Practical guide
3 steps for this topic- Begin with the official history and world setting for Temuair and Medenia, then follow named people, places, gods, conflicts, and eras into deeper records.
- Label observed game events, official canon, player scholarship, philosophy, fiction, and roleplay as different kinds of evidence.
- Use the Library to read credited Aisling work in its original context without turning interpretation into an undocumented mechanic.
Key details
Keep these with the route- Two bodies of work
- Dark Ages combines an official setting with a large player-authored culture.
- Research rule
- A community text can be historically important without being official canon or a current gameplay rule.
Detailed reference
4 concrete notes- The chronology begins with Hy-brasyl, an age of abundance and harmony in which elements were unbound and death was gentle.
- A sudden violent death drives humanity to investigate nature. Human magic grows from that inquiry, followed by the pursuit of power, elemental control, and consequences that reshape the world.
- Temuair's later history is told through official chronology, religious myth, regional accounts, and Aisling writing. Keep those layers labeled so a player interpretation is not silently treated as canonical fact.
- Use the Library for complete works and author context; use mechanics pages for what a religion, place, or quest currently does in game.
