Age of Humanity

The Age of Humanity was the period from about &minus;3000 to 1358 DR.

This period began with the decline of the Elven and Dwarven empires and the flourishing and expansion of the human empires. These new, expanding empires included Calimshan, Imaskar, Jhaamdath, Mezro, Mulhorand, Netheril, Narfell, Raumathar, and Unther.

Of these human empires, perhaps the most notable was that of Netheril, from which the present day people of Shade descended. Around &minus;3000 DR, the Archmage Ioulaum raised the first enclave of Netheril, Xinlenal, through his newly fashioned mythallar.
