This document defines the eras of the world with an emphasis on what exists now:

Cities, Untamed regions, and Orbital Platforms all coexist as functional, intentional parts of the same civilization.

ERA I — The Mythic Age (Pre‑Recorded / Fragmentary)

Cultural memory:

Gods, heroes, monsters, artifacts.

Historical reality:

• Early post‑industrial → early post‑singularity civilization
• Energy‑field manipulation, advanced materials, cognitive augmentation
• First-generation legacy systems
• Creation of Ascendant‑class individuals and equipment

This is the era where:

• Iconic, oversized weapons and armor originate
• Symbolism is used deliberately to encode authority and fear
• Technology is powerful, centralized, and poorly bounded

Records from this era are:

• incomplete
• contradictory
• heavily mythologized

Most “mythic” artifacts still active in the present trace back to this era.
