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.
