 The world has evolved slowly, over the course of hundreds of thousands if not millions of years. There are ancient animals, trees, and artifacts known to have existed for hundreds of millennia. The world has evolved slowly, over the course of hundreds of thousands if not millions of years.

 ===Firestorms=== ===Firestorms===
 Firestorms are often an indicator of a large rainstorm to follow. Magical fire bursts from the ground and disperses into the atmosphere in an explosion of light. This fire is not hot and does not burn--it just happens to LOOK like fire. Firestorms will only happen in a location with a clear path to the sky (between buildings, in clearings, etc.) They will bend around large objects and travel straight through smaller ones. There are no known cases of people or property being damaged by these bursts of light from the ground. Legend has it that firestorms appear where great works of magic have been taking place. If this is true, the storms may be the release of this magic from the ground back into the world. Firestorms are often an indicator of a large rainstorm to follow.

 +===Passage of time===
 +The scholars of Æor measure time from the year 0 to the year 9999 and classify this as an 'age,' Most commoners would never think in terms of an 'age' as life for a human extends to possibly 200 years for only the luckiest and/or healthiest. For example, Jairin was born in 3421 and would know the year by this number--though it was 3421 of the 53rd age. The proper label for this year would be 53-3421, but the ages are tracked only by the longest-lived of Æor's sentient populous.
