The Age of Uprising, or the 1st Age, was the period of time up to the end of the 1st Great War, when Aery 2 slew Gethalyn (the year 01242). It is called the Age of Uprising because the war was motivated by a desire to overcome oppression. It should be noted that this began a convention of naming ages based on the human experience.

The time of antiquity was mostly marked by expansion and exploration of the races. Humans were the only inhabitants of Lesser Galwyndor until the Veninar elves made contact with them. 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, such as 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 860, and quickly subjugated humans there. For three hundred and sixty years they ruled with ease.
