First Era
The First Era of the Shadow World timeline ended with the cataclysmic war between the Lords of Essaence, the royal family of the original humanoid race of Kulthea. The Empress Kadaena was killed by her cousin Utha approximately 113,000 years prior to the present date of the I.C.E. Age world setting. The world itself was nearly destroyed in the violence, and was repopulated later by the Lords of Orhan (Liabo). There was 100,000 years of interregnum between the First and Second Era, analogous to the dark ages between the Ur-Daemon War and the Elven Empire in the Elanthian history.
The surviving followers of the two factions from the First Era began waking up at that time, ultimately leading to the Wars of Dominion and the Third Era. Andraax put himself in suspended animation in his sarcophagus by Ormian about 20,000 years into the Interregnum, when he believed he was the last remaining Essence Lord. The Great Moon of Orhan was inaccessible to the Lords of Essaence.
