Wintry Age Age (a)

     (Snow Elves and Orks)

    Intense volcanic activity raises a line of fire and smoke on North Sea, adding territory to North Pole Continent and creating the mountains that will form the Ice Bridge that connects it to the Main Continent today.     

     This activity covers the sky with ashes for years, and the temperature keeps decreasing after that as a consequence of larger parts of globe being covered by snow. The cold was not as severe as it had been during the two Ice Ages, but the life of common people became harder and shorter than it had been in any time since Towers Age.

          Commerce almost disappears from Sharitarn, except for the Equatorial Line, where it grows more intense than ever.

          The snow elves arrive from the Vortex during the first centuries of this period, and spread through the North Pole. Some ancient lineages of Urshawa celebrate contracts of free companionship with this people and with a subspecies of humans arrived from the same planet, wish accompanied the elves as allies.

         Around the end of the first quarter of this Age a powerful race of orks arrive. They bring a shamanic magic connected to elemental spirits, and their arrival brings a devastating portion of their atmosphere, highly radioactive and deadly to most living species on Sharitarn (humans included). Those non-human iis spread fast, and concentrate themselves on 11 large territories, accumulating power and affecting the world in large scale.

          Realizing the magnitude of danger, in this case the Mage’s Brotherhood finds a consensus. Brotherhood intervention isolates those orks in the region where they still are, creating what now is the West Side of Piwag Desert.     

            Some purposed transfer the dangerous orks to Undersea, or even to Sharitarn natural satellite. They were, probably, resistant enough to endure the conditions of the equivalent to Venus in Sharitarn Universe. The mirror dimensions also appeared in those discussions, despite the calamities caused by abuses of pocket realms during the Waterfalls Age.  Since no conclusion was reached, the uncomfortable provisory solution for the orks became permanent.

           This Age ends with a secondary fruit of those debates being implemented.
