Wow, Eruheran pointed out that I've been doing a lot of world building but I haven't been posting any of it.
So, I'm going to start with the complete history.
I've already posted the perfect age so I'm gonna not post it. It can be found somewhere else in this subforum. -rummages around in papers- not quite sure where.
___________________
THE FIRST AGE
In the beginning first age, there were no countries. There are thousands of small tribes upon the earth, some that speak similar languages, and they begin to settle close to each-other. Tribes are nomadic, constantly searching for new homes and food.
Not much is written down for this first age, but evidence of a great war, discovery of Maize, and small tribal unions being formed are strong. In the end of the first age there are about 40 leagues of tribes, constantly warring amongst themselves wanting better land. Magic is a new discovery being 'played' with by smart wizlings. Also newly invented are simple stone weapons. The first age was about 500 years. (note--the continents are developing separately, but similarly.)
THE SECOND AGE
The Second age began with the invention of stone tools and weapons. Tribes still warred with each other, and still fought for land. They continued to farm, and other crops such as potatoes and corn and other vegetables were discovered. Wizlings continued to research and 'play' with magic, further discovering it's limits. The first wizards come into existence. About halfway through the second age, scholars invented a way to write and communicate in ways other than words. They also developed a year, beginning with spring and ending with winter. In history recordings they begin it with zero. (Continents are still developing separately, but those close together have discovered each other. Thus, the world is divided into east and west--only in the east has this system of writing and history records been developed.) Most dates are an estimate.
