Jericha Era Spine
Jericha's old history files agree on a useful era spine even when a few ancient boundaries and mechanisms drift. The safe public order is Dragon Age, Golden Age, Knowledge Age, Drakkuskan War, Centrum Age, and the current Void Era, also called the Second Centrum Era by some speakers. The modern anchors are 2010–2012 M.B. for the Drakkuskan War, 2025 M.B. for the Centrum's formal creation, 2093–2094 M.B. for the Undying Pact and Phoenix Circuit, 2098 M.B. for the Centrum's fall, and 2099 M.B. for the public beginning of the Void Era.
Dragons, Crystals, and First Rule
Dragon history is the deep foundation beneath later politics.
0–100s M.B. · Dragon Age
The oldest public history remembers Jericha as a dragon-shaped world beginning with creation at 0 M.B. Emrys, his five children, and crystal-bound power defined the first order until the cascading revolutions remembered as Dragonfall in the 100s M.B. Dragon crystals, dragonborn memory, and Emrys fear remain beneath many later ruins and faiths.
Trade, Gold, and the First Great Expansion
Trade makes gold valuable; gold makes longer trade and settlement possible.
Post-Dragonfall · Golden Age
After the dragon order broke, the Queefdom, Kremgrad, and the first Rifleton settlement—the site now called Old Rifleton—were among the early establishments that grew beyond local community rule. Gold became worth searching for as both exchange and alchemical material. The Amber Kingdom and trade hubs linking the continents became major players: Porre and Point Pringle connected the food trade, while Kremgrad and the first Rifleton anchored routes for weapons, armor, and related craft goods.
Awakened Power Becomes Work and Study
Circulating magic awakens common power; education turns it into professions and classes.
c. 1000 M.B. onward · Knowledge Age
The Golden Age's trade brought an influx of magic and magic items into ordinary communities. More commoners experienced the triggers that awakened their inborn Witchborn Powers, learned to understand them, studied additional Aspects, and developed jobs and adventuring classes around what they could harness. Universities, town schools, guild training, monasteries, and village teachers organized that change; VQU and Kremgrad became its oldest prestige institutions.
Emrys Returns to History
The war turns old dragon theology into lived history.
2010–2012 M.B. · Drakkuskan War
The Drakkuskan War is the bridge between myth and modern politics. Xhorrika Mjokmek mobilized VQU's Drakkuskan House to join Emrill's cultists, a dragonborn army, and aligned adventurers in the effort to release Emrys and seize control. FTC, Titian's Journal, Thundergun V, VQU student routes, and the child-crystal sequence record how the war spread from institutional conspiracy into open conflict before Emrys was resealed in 2012 M.B.
The Superseded Power-Origin Theory
Preserve a corroborated time bargain separately; exclude its obsolete Power-origin claim.
Power Paradox
An old timeline attributes the origin of Hexelves and Witchborn Power to a failed 2012 time bargain involving Albert, Titian, and Gertie. That origin mechanism is superseded and must be overlooked: Witchborn Power is an inborn Jerichan condition that predates the Drakkuskan War. The characters' temporal bargain may still be preserved as its own event where newer sources support it, but it cannot be used to explain the beginning of Power, Witchborn, or the Knowledge Age.
Order, Plenty, and Easy Magic
The Centrum Age is remembered as order, even when its foundations were already cracking.
2025–2098 M.B. · Centrum Age
After war and the Fangapor crises, Nora, Magala, Titian, Albert, X Grymmeye, and Uthred formally create the Centrum in 2025 M.B. Their extraordinary magic supplies food, safe water, shelter, and protection to participating towns at relatively little personal effort. Those services earn the goodwill that lets the Centrum retain control and make regional decisions; portals, Void reservoirs, resurrection control, territorial stewardship, and magical abundance become the public face of the age.
The Decline Beneath the Utopia
Late Centrum prosperity hides the machinery of collapse.
2079–2092 M.B. · Silent Spiral
The Silent Spiral is the late-Centrum downturn: M.A.I. work, Krane's labs, hidden void research, Black Ward resurgence, Uthred's disappearance or withdrawal, and Albert's secret armies. This is where public abundance and private extraction stop matching each other.
Orlandus, the Tidal Wave, and the Battle at VQU
The fall is a chain, not one isolated battle.
2097–2098 M.B. · Fall
The Centrum falls through a short cluster of events: Albert's 2097 murder of Orlandus, the 2098 Tidal Wave Incident, Magala's discovery or final reveal of Albert's deception, the Battle at VQU, Nora's defeat of Albert, and the disbanding of the old order. In the immediate vacuum, Lawful divisions continue working and step into emergency management wherever the collapse demands it.
The Current Age of Scarcity and Rebuilding
Current Jericha is rebuilding inside scarcity, not after it.
2099 M.B.–present · Void Era
After the Centrum collapses, Jericha enters the Void Era. Some call it the Second Centrum Era once New VQU, QUEST, and Centrum 2.0 begin rebuilding. Magic scarcity, gold pressure, relic extraction, Boost, Road Warriors, Castro/Voidling threats, Lawful expansion, and anti-forged fear all belong to this age.
Keep the Spine, Audit the Dates
Use old history as backbone, not as a locked calendar.
Reconciliation
The old timeline files are valuable, but they are not equal to live canon. Use era order, public consequences, and relationship logic now; audit exact MB dates, spell mechanics, who knew what when, and rewritten character details against story notes and workbook data before making hard claims.
