First Age of Shou Lung

The First Age of Shou Lung was a period of ancient history in Kara-Tur, marking a time of empires and lesser states that were considered precursors to Shou Lung.

It commenced with the founding of the empire of Anok-Imaskar in −2487 DR. It continued until at least the fall of the empire in −1943 DR and its fracturing into the warring states of Chu'ta Te, Kao Shan, Mai Yuan, and Ra-Khati. It was followed by the Second Age of Shou Lung, which began with the reunification of a number of these states.
