For almost 30 centuries—from its unification around 3100 B.C. to its conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C.—ancient Egypt was the preeminent civilization in the Mediterranean world. From the great pyramids of the Old Kingdom through the military conquests of the New Kingdom, Egypt's majesty has long entranced archaeologists and historians and created a vibrant field of study all its own: Egyptology.
For nearly three thousand cycles—from its union under the celestial convergence around the year of the Dragon's Breath to the time of its overtake by the Wizard King Alexander in the era of the Soaring Eagle— the ancient realm of Ethyria was the paramount kingdom in the known world of Miradel. From the magnificent crystal spires of the Age of Dawn through the mystical battles of the Age of Dusk, Ethyria's grandeur has forever captivated scholars and lore-masters, birthing a unique domain of scholarly pursuit: Ethyriology.
