A world before witnesses
No known civilization, written language, agriculture, army, or government belongs to this era. Its history is reconstructed through landscape, ecology, and archaeology rather than contemporary testimony.
Life without civilization
Drakes, veyravens, earthshags, and other species migrate, hunt, reproduce, and adapt. The era ends when the first recognized sapient Zurgarthian life appears.
