| The **Classic Age** starts with the appearance of [[people:Feuledalyre]] among the humans. The humans knew of the elves and dwarves, but both races had very little to do with them. Feuledalyre served as an ambassador from the elves to hundreds of human civilizations. Literature, theater, and the arts flourished in the rebuilt city-states. Unlike many of the other races the humans rebuilt within the first century and once again trade began to flow between civilizations that rose from the ashes. Before he left the guidance of humans to other elves he passed on the knowledge of magic. | The **Classic Age** starts with the appearance of [[people:Feuledalyre]] among the humans.

| - | After several more centuries of expansion the first seeds of religion began to take root. Much of the history of the previous millennia was lost with the destruction of the great civilizations ([[atlas:Mesinite]], [[atlas:Yu-an]], [[altas:Grippa]], and [[atlas:Khall]]). The oral history of the first humans was changed by the survivors. The servitors of the gods appeared among the humans and taught their own beginnings. | + | After several more centuries of expansion the first seeds of religion began to take root.

| Human magic was that of great rituals involving incantations, formula, and trappings. The magi had blessed their creations with a unique ability to understand complex ideas by first breaking them into a series of simple understandings. Although all humans were capable to practicing and learning magic in reality magic was only learned by the great scholars, who in time would horde this knowledge as a sign of their own superiority. | Human magic was that of great rituals involving incantations, formula, and trappings.

| - | With the ability to harness the magic of the world the elder races welcomed the humans to a new level of understanding. Only the [[creature:dwarf|dwarves]] still refused to meet with the youngest race. It is believed that the strongest dwarves clan leaders put a death bounty on any dwarf caught trading with the humans. Even speaking to a human was a sign of moral weakness. | + | With the ability to harness the magic of the world the elder races welcomed the humans to a new level of understanding.

| - | Again the elves knew of the comet's arrival decades before it was seen in the sky. This time the comet's appearance was a deeper shade of read that any recorded history indicated. | + | The second appearance of the comet called the [[lore:Eye of the Magi]] was a deeper shade of read than previously. This is also the first known record of the second tail. Unlike the violence and cataclysmic destruction caused by the first appearance, most of humanity suffered from malaise. Entire cities starved to death as humans lost the will to live and eat. Those who managed to survive migrated hundreds of miles from the cradle of human civilization. |

| + | The five sanctuaries overseen by the elves soon became thousands of smaller human tribes scattered across the world. The elder races did not foresee that this was the start of human domination of Miranda. | ||
