==The Spreading Out and Reunion of the Humanoids==


'''-75,000 CA:''' Homo sapiens spread out across modern day Zumwalla and many went as far east as modern day Asashiro as well as far into the north where they encountered other hominids. However, during this time it is homo sylvanus arguably held dominance in Antanides, creating the first recognizable nations while their contemporaries were still wandering in tribal bands. Their mastery over magic, once only simple mimicry of ancient serpent folk disciplines, was unparalleled and they bent the great forests to their will and learned to call on the gods themselves for power.


'''-40,000 CA:''' As Homo sapiens began spreading out to find food and resources they encountered homo sylvansus and began competing for territory. The elven forebears won these conflicts more often than not and either subjugated their competitors or forced them northward where they in turn contended with neanderthals against which they were more successful. As a result neanderthals were either interbred with homo sapiens or were displaced even further north. In this frozen hell the hominids were pressed to the edge of survival, forsaking much of their gained brainpower for physical strength and endurance. This leads to a division among the variety which becomes the first forerunners to [[Orcs in Polesia|orcs]], goblinoids, ogres and giants (later interaction with developing homo sylvanus will bring trolls into being).
