	The time of antiquity was mostly marked by expansion and exploration of the races.

Humans were at first thought to be the only inhabitants of [[Lesser Galwyndor]] until the [[Veninar]] [[elves]] made contact with them in the year [[EE]] 712. Prior to this, however, humans had shared the continent with [[ogres]], [[trolls]], and [[goblins]], and the humans had centuries of experience in fighting these races. Once the elves made contact, what followed was a massive migration of humans into [[Greater Galwyndor]], where they quickly spread across the continent establishing settlements. Many humans took to raiding and forcing other races out of their lands as they had done with the other races on Lesser Galwyndor. The most prominent example on Greater Galwyndor was when the [[Ganennites]] took what would become [[Torminal]] from the [[dwarfs]] and the [[jrel]]. This behavior angered many of the other races.

	As a response, warfare was waged against humans, and it was discovered that humans had no knowledge of [[magic]]. Seizing a prime opportunity for retribution, many sorcerers traveled to the smaller continent, beginning in the year [[EE]] 860, and quickly subjugated humans there.

Some sorcerors also managed to find allies in the other races, who aided them in their subjugation of humans.

For three hundred and sixty years they ruled without issue; the commonfolk were no match for them and their powerful magic from across the sea despite having experience in battle against the other races. Things changed after a party led [[Blanor the Burl]] successfully sabotaged a tower rookery belonging to the mage [[Saretis]]. The Burl's victory inspired many similar acts, even promoting rivalry among competing spellcasters. Skirmishes and sabotage escalated, culminating in the 1st Great War.

For three hundred and sixty years they ruled without issue; the commonfolk were no match for them and their powerful magic from across the sea. Things changed after a party led [[Blanor the Burl]] successfully sabotaged a tower rookery belonging to the mage [[Saretis]].

	The Burl's victory inspired many similar acts, ~~most of all being attracting the attention of~~ competing spellcasters~~; Blanor the Burl soon found himself with powerful allies~~. These spellcasters took advantage of the Burl's infamy, and manipulated many of the populace with guile to strike up a revolution against rival spellcasters. Before long, the entire continent was at war with one another, until the citizens realized they were fighting the wrong battles, and ~~eventually united against their common enemy, the oppressors.~~		The Burl's victory inspired many similar acts, even promoting rivalry among competing spellcasters. Skirmishes and sabotage escalated, culminating in the 1st Great War.

	~~Most of rest of the 1st Great War was spent engaging in~~ sabotage ~~and subterfuge rather than outright battle~~, ~~since the mages were too powerful to meet~~ in ~~open combat. Ultimately, one man, [[Thorfast~~ the Younger]], managed to amass a large army and led them into battle on the [[Fields of Juralane]], which is in what is now [[Lothlan]]. Others banded along with him and his men as they fought against spellcasters that could not be beaten. By now the spellcasters took a similar approach and bandied together to quash the rebellion.

	The final battle lasted three days and thousands of men lost their lives. Not one spellcaster was killed. It was said that no blade, neither friend nor foe, could slay a spellcaster. This adage rang true, at least until [[Aery 2]] slew the spellcaster [[Gethalyn]].

	: ''"Not one among the legions there that night will fail to recount what happened next, for the melee was bestilled as no act of gods could rival. A single stroke by the young Aery 2 did fell the mighty spellmaster Gethalyn - by his own sword no less, and no sooner did this swift slayer stake Gethalyn through the heart into the earth where came forth a might etherwood tree which swallowed both Gethalyn and his sword alike. The impartial eye of the [[Backwards Moon]] did also bear witness to this spectacle, which silenced the legions, brought forth the end to a Great War and the beginning of a mighty empire." -- [[New History of Aeryloth]]'' (which is by now ancient)

	~~Aery 2 was able to kill the spellcaster by using the spellcaster's own sword. A single stroke ended the First~~ Great War~~; the spellcasters fled back across the sea, now that they couldn't guarantee that their power was sufficient. Aery 2 became the first king of [[Aeryloth]] and thus began the [[Age of Alliance]]~~.
