World History
The history of the world has been studied by many a historian and been a major focus of many religions. While recent history is well documented, most of history is a diffuse array of lacklustre sources and disputed events. Recent history is commonly split up into distinct eras, defined by major events both economic and cultural.

Ancient history
Because no recorded history before 0 exists, one can only speculate as to what the world may have looked like before. However, writings in the Book of Mist indicate a divine civilisation existing prior, and speak of a mysterious event known as The Cataclysm. The source of magic is supposedly rooted in this ancient divine civilisation. The ancient world may have looked completely different to our currently known world. The word "world" in Gameltunge means "Fleeting, fluctuating". This may also explain the illogical tectonic structure of our world that has puzzled geologists for ages.
The Cataclysm
- ~0 - 100 BG: A cataclysmic event causes the worlds to fluctuate and change. Humans emerged and inhabited the world as if they had lived there thousands of years already.
