 ====Crystal Era====
-It all began with a stone, or so the legend says. In ages past, the sentient jewel, enormous and beautiful, banished the Darkness. It's many-colored light filled the world with life and brought forth mighty gods. Bathed in that light, the world entered an age of bliss.

-The **Crystal Era** encompasses the period of time from when the "darkness was driven back" to the arrival of the fist sentient beings, the gods.  Even the gods, when they were awake and talking to people, weren't particularly clear or consistent as to how long the Crystal Age lasted.  Infernal beings from the Darkness are equally unhelpful.

 From the standpoint of the players, with their real-world background, the era can be thought to cover the span from which planetary formation was complete and rocks were no longer regularly falling from the sky, to the point that sentient life emerged.

 The other event is when history stops referring to the Jewel as a physical presence with a physical location, and starts treating it as a metaphysical concept.  This happened shortly after the Red Moon was placed in the sky.  Purists who still believe in an actual Primal Jewel spend a lot of time arguing that it is either the Shining Moon, or buried at the heart of the world.

 ====Degenerate Era====
-Also known as the **Age of Chaos**, and the **Despondent Era**.  Seven centuries where global civilization largely collapsed, people behaved badly, and the moral and ethical strictures of old unraveled.  Eventually, following the examples of the elves nations were reforged, civilization rekindled, and the world became a much better place in which to dwell.

 Around 1100 IE, Emperor [[Eso]] of Asteria, fed up with his nobility, and frankly a lazy man himself, began the process of giving more and more power to the bureaucracy.  In the current time bureaucratic position is largely purchased outright, usually with the proceeds of one's current position.
-Shogun Emperor [[Yamachi]]'s grandfather was a strong ruler, and Yamato prospered.  His father, not so much.  That said, Yamachi would stand a good chance of stabilizing his nation and his reign if it weren't for all the damned (literally) [[youkai]] running about seeding chaos.

 The [[Empire of the Fang]] appears stable from the outside, though outside observers aren't exactly encouraged in the interior.  The exciting jungle pestilences that only bother mammals don't help any either.
