==Recovery==


'''-30,000,000 CA:''' As the world recovers from the devastation of the asteroid, new life rises to fill the void left by the mass extinction. Terror birds roam the vast grasslands and for a time they are the dominant predators while mammals continue to evolve and thrive. The first whales evolve from water dwelling mammals, birds evolve the ability to fly, and mammals on land starte competing with the terror birds for dominance, driving many varieties to extinction.


'''-10,000,000 CA:''' Aboleth mages excavate the Obelisk from where it has been entombed at the bottom of the ocean and start experimenting with its regenerative powers. It is with the aid of this powerful artifact that some of their creations (such as cloakers, intelligent deep ones, boggards, and darkmantels) come into existence. These creatures are naturally subservient to the Obelisk's will at first, however the aboleths are able to modify their creatures using their mental abilities, so that they are subservient to them instead. There are a few isolated incidents where aboleths themselves became enthralled by the Obelisk's power, but these rare cases are quickly dealt with and the corruption was kept in check. It is from long buried aboleth writings from which all current information on the Obelisk originates.


'''-9,000,500 CA:''' In a great tragedy (of which no records survive), Uthl-ngru, the city in which the Obelisk is contained, disappears. While the aboleths seem to know the details, they will not speak of it to outsiders. The Obelisk for all intents and purposes appeared to vanish for a time.
