The Malderane Era

The Malderane Era (Me) began at the end of the Dawning Era, year 565De. This Era lasted for at least two thousand years ending in the year 2,109 Me and it is the most brutal of all other eras in history. Malderane, a self-proclaimed god, emerged onto the scene and set forth to enslave all races of sentient life. He made himself known as "The Dark One" and kept his name hidden from all beneath him. Humanity would suffer the most at the hands of the corrupted being. Some scholars imply that the Dark One was supposed to be the warden of the physical realm sent forth by Magnum Auctor However, this is unclear due to the age of events that make up this age in history.

Malderane made sure the human home world, Vancoura, was subject to extreme horror and instilled dread upon anyone who dared to try and dwell on it outside of his desires.  The Dark One turned the heart of the largest Continent on the human home world into his throne palace.

At every waning Crescent phase of the moon, the kin to Malderane would go forth and cull large numbers of men at fighting age. They would do this to subdue any form of resistance even though there was nothing a mortal creature could do to harm a being like themselves.  Malderane used the Waning Crescent, the last phase of the moon, as a forever sign in the sky at the end of the cycle to remind those under it he was forever watching. Thus the crescent moon became his forever symbol of death and misery.
