The Hrungnir begin their attacks against the fortress of the Echidna’s.

(2670 B.R ‘Before Ragnarok’


Pax appears before the Echidna’s, ascended to demi-godhood. He tells them of their new obligation to protect the Master Emerald, and that a great king would come forth to defeat the evil that slumbered beneath the ocean and deliver the world from death and destruction in its darkest hour. This king would be the messiah and would put many things right that had once gone wrong.
This began the Echidna concept of guardianship. Pax reached out and touched his grandson and that Echidna was marked by spurs that grew out of his knuckles. Each guardian has been marked this way ever since.

(2698 B.R ‘Before Ragnarok’

Placing the Master Emerald where Pax told them to, directly in the heart of the stronghold, the Echidna’s were amazed to discover that the power of the Emerald protected their land by levitating it up out of the earth.

(2121 B.R ‘Before Ragnarok’

With the mysterious old man with white hair and one eye, the kingdom founded by Uther flourishes and his descendants rule guided by a unique chivalric code.

(2039 B.R ‘Before Ragnarok’

The Red Plague flares up and becomes a major epidemic, sweeping through the unprepared humans of Midgard. This prompts a huge migration, humans spread out into Jotunheim and the western coast of the eastern continent. This spreads the plague until nearly half the world becomes an infected zone.

(2003 B.R ‘Before Ragnarok’

The Red Plague continues to weep through the world until a group of knights, noblemen from the court of the king, led by the mysterious white haired old man with one eye who by now men refer to as, Merlin, head out on a quest to find the cure.
After five months they discover it. The cure can be distilled from a drop of blood from a Star Spawn. The Red Plague was a relic, left over from the biological weapons Argus used to decimate the Echidnas. Only the blood of his spawn holds the key to surviving it.
Eventually they find one... the last one left alive on Earth Second, General Dagon. Chasing him across the land, they finally corner him on a cliff. During the battle one of the knights slices off one of Dagon’s fingers before the Star Spawn escapes. From this, Merlin was able to siphon off the immunity the Star Spawn have from the lethal viruses of their master.
On this same journey, Merlin meets the woman who becomes his wife and together they begin a family

(1986 B.R ‘Before Ragnarok’

The cure is made wide spread and the Plague began to dissipate. However, the Orcs begin to flex their military might in the aftermath and in order to buffer them the king proclaims the creation of two more duchies, the duchy of Falcon and the duchy of Soleanna. Penned in on all four sides, the Orcs are unable to do anything more beyond small raids. In this time, the wall of Chun-Nan is built in Logres.

(1340 B.R ‘Before Ragnarok’

Out of desperation she found and used the Necronomicon. The present King of Logres, Arthur, also desperate to keep his kingdom from flying apart, helped her unleash its power to remain dominant and they were altered, becoming the Black Knight and the Black Queen.


(1332 B.R ‘Before Ragnarok’

For eight years the court of Unseelie ruled the kingdom, with The Black Knight and Black Queen unleashing horrors untold. Eventually however, the Black Knight betrays the queen, siphoning off her power to create an alternative version of Caliburn.- Deathcaliburn, a sword of great and intense evil.
Merlin retrieved the battered and defeated form of his granddaughter and then, with the power of Light Gaia, created another sword… Arondight, the blade of the Lance Lord.

The Last pure knight of the realm, Lamorak, took this new blade and used it with its sister sword Caliburn to kill the Black Knight and imprison his corrupted soul inside Deathcaliburn. Both Caliburn and Aronsight are lost during the final confrontation. This marks the end of the second age.
