"...between the years when the oceans drank [[Atlantis]] and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Areus..."

During the darkest age of human history, humanity had never been closer to perishing. Much of the Hyborean Era is lost to the sands of time and considered apocryphal. Virtually no history of the era persists to the modern day.

After Atlantis sank, a brutal ice age wracked the Earth. The portions of the land easily habitable were confined to narrow regions near the equator, principally the Mediterranean Sea; Mesopotamian river delta; the Indus Peninsula and the Yellow River valley of China. Scattered attempts at civilization were made but the basis for much technological understanding had been completely lost with the sinking of Atlantis. Humanity huddled in huts and villages of mud brick, using weapons made of rock and wood and with little more than crude bronze for refined metal. The ancient languages of Atlantis became incomprehensible gibberish as humanity became more isolated. Only a very few remnants of Atlantis persisted, most of them hidden or sealed away from a world of frightened primitives.

In 10,000 BCE, the [[Cosmic Cube]] was found and used to restore the [[Demiurge]]. The gods made fleeting contact with humanity and slowly helped them rebuild the world, though the flow of magic was weak and the paths of [[Yggdrasil]] often in flux. Those pantheons closest to mortal realms-- the [[Ennead]], the [[San Huang Wu Di]], the [[Tuatha de Danaan]]-- guided many cultures into forming the first agrarian societies and then into the development of civilization itself.

The Hyborean Era primarily refers to the realms of Mesopotamia approximately 3000 BCE. During this era, there was a resurgence of magic and new interest in the ancient secrets of Atlantis. Artisans rediscovered how to forge iron, though carbon steel weapons were rare and cherished above even gold. Horseback riding was common though cavalry had not been developed (lacking stirrups). Many magical creatures, long asleep, sluggishly rose from their hibernation and emerged into the world. The first civilizations began to rise up and build cities, some of them reaching as many as thirty thousand people. The terminus of the Hyborean Era is roughly 2500 BCE, coinciding with the rise of the 4th Dynasty of Egypt and the Helladic Period of Greece.
