Commonly known as the "Age of the Silvar," the First Age lasted 5,028 years and began with the elvish migration from the Unknown Lands to the continent of Corwyn and ended with the defeat of Calegorax at the Battle of Merizath.
When the Elder-Elves first landed on Corwyn, the written history of the continent began. During this era, the elves founded a great society named Ectharë, which they expanded and developed for hundreds of years.
The elvish civilization prospered until they were confronted by the race of dragons who also wished to control the continent. This confrontation led to a terrible conflict called the War of the Dragons. This war ended when the evil dragons, and their leader Calegorax, were defeated at the Battle of Merizath.
With the defeat of the alliance of evil dragons and the full expansion of the elvish civilization of Ectharë throughout the continent, the First Age ended.
