The Ninth Age of Humanity

The Second Age of Kings is the ninth known age of humanity, or the habens, by the reckoning of the scribes. Some say it is the tenth age, including the pre-ancient time of the Honai, the first humans who left Mirabillis even before the First Builders arrived.

These ancients left behind their wild children, who were the hunter-gather primitives enslaved by the Elar K’ras’thk Dominion, or First Builders. The progeny of the once-enslaved race are today called honai or habens by the other races, referring to themselves as humankind.

The most prolific of the races in terms of expansion and conquest, their numbers are second only to the Ghorsht, or orckind. The reckoning of the scribes and the keeping of the great archives by humans and elves traces nearly thirty-thousand years of history for the known realms.

Those who reckon by the Herald who travels through the sky each year, and count the ages by the appearance of the Prince with the Herald every thousand years enumerate the ages of humankind by this thousand-year term and begun their keeping of time after the Day of Providence, when the elves and their gods along with the new human deities and humanity rose up and cast the First Builders down. By that timekeeping - called Cunning Reckoning the present age is the twenty-first.
