History

Year zero was the year that the Dynast Saule effectively revived literacy and the archival documenting of history, language, mathematics, etc. This beginning of recorded time is referred to as The Dawn of Saulus. Before this period in history the planet and its remaining life forms were still recovering in a period known as the Aeon of Dusk, which is named such because of the indefinite amount of time it took place in, and the dark age it was characterized by.

The campaign begins in the year 30. By now some established populaces have weaved themselves into the fabric of Vosm and see steady progress in terms of civilization. However, most of Vosm is still uninhabited by civilization. Instead, these places are untouched by the progress of their socieites or lack-thereof and remain relatively preserved since the Apocalypse. What may lurk or be buried in these places is forgotten knowledge.
