 While the non-human population of Atharen typically refers to the Third Age as the Age of Tyranny, many within the region of Mornoth, and particularly in Daravin, refer to it as ‘the Age of Man’. Mornoth carried, until this time, much of the world’s foundational history due to its status as the homeland of the Elves. Yet due to the imperious nature of the Ashen Elves, who now called themselves [[Sil'Norai|Sil'norai]], humans had been subjected to thousands of years of chattel slavery. With the conquest of Silor by Valen Dres, the younger races had taken the mantle of supremacy from their old masters and had begun to build their world anew.
-The Unbroken Empire formed, and then expanded greatly. Mithira, Daravin and Sil-Elaine were the first of its provinces, but unlike the Sil'norai who had failed to expand deep into Calanon, the Empire was widely successful in its attempts. Humans thrived in Daravin, building new cities along the province’s rivers and taking hold over the great Elven cities of old. Not long into the Third Age, in the year 3477, Genteven was founded — though it would sit as an inconsequential trade port for nearly six hundred years.

 Lorien unified not long after, forming a formidable Kingdom to the north that the Empire would never be able to topple.

 Corruption built up. A political and sociological breakdown followed, leading to increased tensions between the Empire’s many races, regions and ethnic groups. Many internal and external forces used these divisions to their advantage, and quickly the satin carpet was pulled from beneath the Emperor’s feet. In the midst of all this he had sought the secrets to full, incomparable divinity, and he was unbearably close. He and the Empire's Council, a collection of eighteen other [[Draedan]], had begun to construct a weapon capable of killing the Living Gods, invading their planes and ripping apart their realms. When this secret was discovered by his courtiers and subsequently spread to his vassals, a rage of rebellions rose to take his head before he could crush his enemies beneath his heel. Before, essentially, it was too late.
-But it was too late. Not because Valen had met the Godhood he so desired, but because he had gone far enough to where he refused to ever go back. [[Venadak]] confronted him directly, one of the few times the God ever saw fit to intervene, to compromise Valen's ascent into divinity. A long battle ensued, nineteen Draedan descending upon the Divine Creator. In the midst of the conflict, it is said that the Emperor fired his fledgling weapon built against the Gods, and directly compromised Venadak's ability to stabilize the planes. Raw Magic flooded through the cracks as he reeled, desperately holding their reality together. The world was flooded with Corruption, Adena - Valen's capital - at its epicenter. The reaction from this sequence of events was horrifying and immediate, but also very long-lived. The Empire collapsed faster than any before it, and left an untenable scar upon the land that bled into the veins of every mortal and the sap of every tree.

 The event that forged the Age of Ashes is coined many different things, across cultures and religions. Most ardent of the Path would go on to call it 'the Fall', Elves 'Noveron' - or the Sundering - and later, in the halls of Daravin's Omen, it would be called 'the First Rapture', or 'the Warning'. Most, across the world, call it the Bleeding of Venadak, or in shorter terms, the Bleeding.

 The Age of Ashes was transformational and destructive for Mornoth, more than any other part of the world. There is still a sense of loss, sorrow and anger that lives in nearly all of the region’s inhabitants from that time, the Sil'norai most of all, brought utterly to their knees.

 The current age has been one of relative peace across the continent of Atharen, with few international conflicts in the last three centuries. Mornoth has been slowly rebuilding since the slow regression of the Bleeding’s effects, though with the monumental rise of the Omen in recent centuries many believe it has gone down a frightful and shrouded path.

 The Age of Industry is named for the rise of the Grisic Empire, and the industrialization seen within Grisic and Lorien. With living standards rapidly evolving in those two, quickly developing nations, Atharen has begun to see wide-scale colonization to a historic degree, and with so many nations beginning to or fully recovering from the Bleeding, many are eager to try their hand at unification, expansion, and war.
