==Rise of the Apes==


'''-300,000 CA:''' As Polesia’s climate continued to cool, it drove the serpent folk to migrate south, butting them right up against the hominid claimed territories. This sparked the first true conflict between the two species, one that went disastrously for the serpent folk. Homo primus had adapted to the various environments they found themselves in and many now wielded knowledge stolen from their former masters, and they outnumbered the serpent folk many times over. While their losses were catastrophic the species easily shirked such a blow and continued to multiply to the astonishment of the serpent folk. 


'''-200,500 CA:''' The final stroke was dealt to the serpent folk as a species when the Dawn People began showing further signs of development and civilization, with families encountering each other and forging alliances that resulted in larger tribes. While the tribes still fight each other, many understand that the serpent folk are a more pressing threat, primitive as they are, and the serpent folk began to fall more and more frequently than not to coordinated raids and ambushes. The climate was also against the serpent folk making resources harder and harder to come by and in time their species as a whole is broken, leaving few survivors who fled far from these hairless apes, living out their lives in remote caves or going into a magical hibernation, hoping that worsening conditions would eventually undo their foes.


'''-155,100 CA:''' Without the oppression of the Serpentfolk to stifle them the Dawn People,spread across the world as they searched for food and resources to survive. Some of them went into the then forested region of central Antanides and interbred with more feral ape men, creating a new hybrid race known to scholars as homo sylvanus (these were the earliest forebears to [[Polesian Elves|elves]]), another group went to the mountains and after years of interbreeding became homo terra (the earliest form of modern [[Dwarves in Polesia | dwarves]]). Yet another group stayed in modern Zumwalla and became homo sapiens([[Humans in Polesia|humans]]). At the same time the Dawn People of the north continued to develop and in time became the [[Neanderthals in Polesia|Neanderthals]].
