Chronology: Era III

Everything is a spoiler. Everything.

Character Ages and Birthdays
We aren't as concerned with ages and birthdays in Era III as we are with the other three Eras.

The start of Era III is marked by the birth of the Great Kings. Coincidentally, this event also marks 0 A.A in the Arcerran Calendar. A.A obviously stands for "After Arkin", but the meaning has been mixed up with something else. Don't know what yet.

Era III is technically the shortest Era, lasting only 400 years.

Right. I need to divide all of the bullet point i have below this into headings, subheading, and paragraph content.

The birth of the Great Kings
I'm surprised I lost all the notes I had for this. The Great Kings were brothers born in a small town in south-east Tsunia, close to the Noxtyran border. They had no parents; their mother died during the birth of the second brother, their father died defending their town against the Yorkle night terror. They awoke to their powers at a very early age. They were literally the first people on Arcerra to have powers akin to an EBO. This one time they fended off an entire Noxtyran invasion on their own, which garnered the attention of Tsunia's king. He decided to take them both in as monster hunters. They meet a few people, most notably the humans that would awaken into P.N and B.K, as well as the second brother's future wife. As they continue to develop their unique powers, they discover how Ethraksha works, and they immediately decide to weaponize it. After cranking up the design of the Noxtyran Flamethrower up to 100, the Great Kings had created Razer: a weapon of mass destruction that would become the first of many god-tools. As the Great Kings continue to conquer the region, they create another 15 weapons to match the first. They fight a bunch of cool stuff, but it doesn't really matter. The only fight that matters here is the Great Kings getting strong enough to fight Crimson, who only recently regained consciousness. They can't kill him, but they were able to seal him into a Pallobalt chalice and seal it in a tomb.

They begin to awaken to their L.U.C.Y Gene

They discover the secrets of Ethraksha Programming

They rid Tsunia of most of it's powerful beasts.

Crimson regains consciousness after he destroyed himself in Era II. Promptly sealed in the "Holy Grail" by the Great Kings.

They have created the Delta and Gamma Artifacts, as well as other Relics.

They have become the Kings of Tsunia through questionable means.

They have befriended the leaders of the SAC.

They have earned the ire of Divine Blessings; the masses misinterpret their own prophecy and mistake the Great Kings as chosen ones. Which they don't deny. >:(

The Great Kings Terraform Tsunia. Esten declines, remains an archipelago.

Other Arkin Awaken. People begin to revere them under the faith of Arkinism.

B.K awakens.

S.S and S.S awaken and proceed to annoy the Great Kings until they die.

The Great Kings found the Elementalists.

P.N awakens and the Scientific Advancement Council is founded.

The Great Kings create Ormudomaigo. O.S.T, the Arkin it's powers are based on, sees this as a mockery. The Great Kings kill him and stuff his corpse into a better version of the Artifact.

The discovery of being able to use dead Arkin to create weapons leds to the production of the Multi-Type Artifacts.

Fossil Fuels are discovered on Arcerra. Tomahtra is also found during this.

The Arkin Preventative Measure is enacted. Divine Blessings angry that softcore silvanists see this as the Divine Blessings. People lose interest in technology.

T.B sets gravity to 16N/kg.

Arcerra begins to mimic modern day. Magic is beginning to become redundant.

B.V awakens. B.V kills P.N and turns the SAC into the Research Organisation.

Technology returns as Magitek. Incredibly harming to the environment.

Arkin begin to take a back seat. People being to lose interest in both Arkinism and Silvansism.

S.S and S.S finally die.

C.G awakens.

C.G dies.

Silvanism completely dies out. Divine Blessings livid at the Great Kings. Have to form a cult.

People forget the Arkin actually existed. They now control Arcerra from the shadows since it's easier than physically enforcing your will. They still argue with the other Arkin.

A lot of time passes. Things get worse.

D.A is sealed in the robot and will eventualy become known as D.T.

B.V is kicked out of the Elementalists. It's too late.

People lose the ability to use Magic thanks to chemicals in the food and water.

The few Arkin left nearly absorb all of the Flow in Arcerra. General populace has health problems.

The Region Tyrants are enslaved and harvested for their Ethraksha.

M.H awakens. Swiftly dealt with.

The Third Calamity
Arcerra crosses a line they should have left alone: deciding to expand their terrible ways beyond the seas of Arcerra.

We all know that Era III ended with a Calamity. The Great Kings, their goons, and the big  1% money man ruined the continent in the name of greeed.

But what REALLY happened?

During the end of Era III, technology got to a point where Magic became completely obsolete.

The Arkin Preventative Measure, implemented some 200 years ago, gave everyone access to the Flow System in exhange for the inability to become Arkin.

At first, people just stopped using Magic since there was no need.

More and more people began to forget that Magic use was a thing they could do.

To make matters worse, the food and water is laced with a chemcial that prevents Gate growth in the first place. You can't use Magic anymore even if you tried.

The Region Tyrants were being slowly killed by having their Ethraksha harvested by corporations to fuel the demands of technology.

(Tsunia never had a Region Tyrant in the first place). The other eight were all reduced to the size of the O2 Arena. That's very small for a Region Tyrant, which are normally the size of cities.

People don't remember the Arkin even existed.

Arkinism, the faith that people created to worship the Arkin during the early half of Era III, has been reduced to myths.

Arcerra was in a horrific state. Most living species have gone extinct aside from livestock and pets.

You'd be stressed to find a plant that isn't an EMF that somebody lives in. (not necessarily a bad thing)

The sky was literally purple with smoggy clouds of Pallobalt dust and over-concentrated Aura.

80% of all the earth on the Arcerra was infertile and diseased.

L.U.C.Y turns up and it appalled at what humans have decided to do with the power she gave them.

Because remember, she's technically an Arkin too, but a perfected Arkin.

L.U.C.Y reverts most of Arcerra to the state it was in at the start of Era III:

Everything built and invented in the past 400 years was reverted, along with people's memory of how to create any of those things. All other memories remain intact.

While people still vaguely remember what technology was like before the Third Calamity, nobody has any actual knowledge on how to get back there since all practical knowledge about technology was erased by L.U.C.Y. She doesn't need Tomahtra to do this.

But essentially a LOT of people died because things suddenly didn't exist anymore.

Oh and, obviously, Arcerra was returned to the Magical fantasy land it was at the beginning of Era III, including the Region Tyrants.

The Elementalists try to stop her.

In retaliation, L.U.C.Y uses the power of a second, improved Tomahtra and her own abilities to destroy any Arkin she can get her hands on.

Some Arkin (Most notably, C.G, D.A, and O.S.T) were ignored since they've been fucked over enough by the Great Kings.

L.U.C.Y tries to forcibly awaken the L.U.C.Y Gene of Arcerra's humans and make them assist her in eliminating the Arkin. It doesn't work, nobody awakens.

L.U.C.Y was furious when she noticed that The Great Kings had used the Tomahtra, her first creation, to implement a Eugenics program that prevented regular Humans from becoming Arkin.

Both she and the Great Kings made a beeline for the Relic; L.U.C.Y to undo this atrocity, the Great Kings to see that it does not become undone.

The Great Kings reached Tomahtra before L.U.C.Y did, and promtply destroyed it.

No matter.

Even though using the original version of Tomahtra would have been easier, L.U.C.Y can still use her improved version to revert the Arkin Preventative Measure.

It takes time since she doesn't know what the Great Kings actually did, so she decides to set up an inpenetrable defense while she firgures how to revert it.

She swoops a random person off the ground bursts them into Ethraksha, and begins to decipher.

L.U.C.Y obsverves the Magical inhibition caused by poisnonous food. Promptly reverted.

The Great Kings manage to break into L.U.C.Y's shield and destroy her second version of Tomahtra too.

The Arkin Preventative Measure has now been permanently implemented and all of Arcerra's people are stuck with the Flow System.

Now forced to actually fight, L.U.C.Y and the Great Kings brawl for days on end.

L.U.C.Y realises that they might actually pose a threat (the discover a loophole in her Programming), and decides to sit them down and talk for a few minutes.

They're a lost cause. L.U.C.Y gets fed up and reverts the Great Kings into regular humans, powerless to prevent her from undoing their centuries of hard work (torment).

L.U.C.Y left quite a few things intact, however:

Arcerra's terraformation was unnafected since she thought it was pretty.

The Relics (Including the Artifacts) were also ignored since they're were cool and technically werren't technological.

Undoing the gravity alteration that T.B, another Elemenetalist, went ahead with would have more cons than pros, she had to leave that alone.

Most Arkin already had a few generations of descendants that were innocent of their predecessors actions. L.U.C.Y left them alone.

Meanwhile, the Cult of Divine Blessings was trying to get L.U.C.Y's attention during that entire thing. She completely ignores them.

Divine Blessings never liked the Great Kings because they shifted people's faith, and now they have ANOTHER reason to hate them and everything they stand for.

Either way, they have confirmed that L.U.C.Y is still alive.

With their resolve hardened, Divine Blessings uses the confusion and terror wrought by the Calamity to revive their religion. It was a partial success.

The Druids observe the fact that L.U.C.Y can indeed reverse the state of things, and they decide they will use her to bring Arcerra back to the time when Predaters rules the continent.

The Predaters are now the only ones on Arcerra capable to The Predaters found the Druids of Origin. Become Tsunia's nature preservation team as a guise.

The Research Organisation is completely blamed for the 3rd Calamity.

They are forced to "disband" and reform as the smaller SAC.

The SAC see the 3rd Calamity as a power ceiling, that science can only get to a certain point before God tells them off.

They're gonna do it all again: Hybridise Magical and Mechanical technology and use it to return to the point they were at before, except that they'll prioritise keeping the continent healthy.

They're the Distinguished and the Royal Family. They don't even know they're the children of Arkin.

The Great Kings eventually begin to reawaken to their L.U.C.Y Gene.

The Great Kings reclaim ownership of Tsunia. The Diarchy is founded.

The Great Kings round up the surviving descendants of the Elementalists. The Distinguished Houses are founded.

The Great Kings try to regain their fully power by expiditing their L.U.C.Y Gene Awakening

The decide to use the near-limitless Ethraksha from the Nebula Skyfall to force their bodies to turn back into Arkin.

It worked, and they try to 2v1 L.U.C.Y. They die and lose without anyone noticing.

The Rest is History.

took me nearly four years to get this sorted.

DUDE DOES THIS MEAN THAT AT THE END OF ERA IV LUCY COME BACK WITH A THRID VERSION OF TOMAHTRA

THEN REVERTS THE ARKIN PREVENTATIVE MEASURE WITH NOBODY TO STOP HER

TURNING EVERYONE INTO ARKIN????

this means that I'll have to figure out origin continents story before that though.

that fine
