There are several periods that have been chosen as rpg 'setting' periods. They have particular qualities and favor certain historical elements.
50 AI Setting
This is the time of sky migrations and pre-Yophenthean Empires.
950 AI Setting
The late Yophenthean Empire reached across the regions of the Pallathantic Sea. The setting is either within the empire or in a neighboring region, such as Thrace or Hœrnect.
1283 AI Setting
This historic period occurs after the collapse of most or all of the Yophenthean Successor States, including the Deavingeal Dynasty in southwestern Pytharnia. The Asbards have conquered the southern Rhaunve Valley and Medibgóëse colonists have settled in Gonfaloy. The Ambrasian Reformation, ca 1110 to 1140, has established the cult of the ancient sun god, Amrulon, as the state religion of the high Rhaunve River Valley and the Imzaha religion of the south Weshif desert is borne by missionaries into neighboring lands. The most powerful state in the Pallathantic is the Omandraline Empire of Sky, ruled by the genius Sorcerer-King, Omandral—but how long this prodigy of spellcraft and strategy can last is another matter. This period of history is before the first Thracian Empire, before the Golden Age of Sky, before the Chaos Rulers, and before the Isbajutha. Humans and dwarves have not discovered and developed titancraft. Religious cults of the late Yophenthean Empire linger on, such as the cult of Errignomon. While chaos gods are generally shunned, as they have been progressively since the time of Salmakhamer, they are not universally loathed and prohibited like they will be after the Isbajutha. Thus some leaders turn the eye the other way and small chaos cults are practiced in large cities, in the countryside, and in the wilds.
The 1283 AI setting is very roughly similar to the early and mid medieval period on earth, with the collapse of the last vestiges of the Roman Empire, the establishment of local authorities, and the spread of Islam.
Age of Steel and Dragons (1855 AI Setting)
This is the Age of Steel and Dragons. Civilization is swiftly succumbing to the powers of Chaos.
2747 AI Setting
This is the 'modern' year setting. Titancraft is well developed and with numerous powerful states and empires. Humans are the predominant humanlike.
