 Loremasters and Chroniclers have counted and recorded more than five thousand years since Time began in the World of Shadowbane, and the World was already ancient when Time began. A complete account of the entire history of the World is beyond the scope of this book (or any other single book, for that matter), even if all the facts and details were still available. Unfortunately, a succession of bitter wars and the tumult of the Turning have caused too many ancient volumes to be destroyed or lost. The history of the World is quickly falling into the shadow of obscurity, and even the most erudite Scholars rarely agree on the details of any given event. History is, is the end, is just another story. The beliefs and bias of its author taint any chronicle. Ask an elder Elf Wizard to describe the Taming, for example, and he will tell a very different tale than a Centaur Crusader, who only knows the event from ancient tales passed down from his forefathers.

 === The New Races ===
-After the first Trees of Life were planted, children began to be born to the Sons of Men who were… different. Pale, cold, and hairless, these strange children came to be known as Shades, and seem to have some kind of strange affinity with Death. Not even the greatest Magi are sure why one infant is born a Shade while another is not, but one thing is certain: despite purges and inquisitions, the number of Shades is steadily increasing. Many believe that they are somehow linked to the Trees of Life and the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. The Shades themselves know nothing of their origins, and are usually the targets of scorn and persecution. Their unique aptitude for stealth and thievery has earned them a place in the sundered World, however, and even those who revile Shades are often forced to respect them.

 The most dramatic change in the population of Aerynth came in the fifth decade after the Day of Woe. A group of strange, winged folk appeared through an ancient Runegate, and soon large numbers of the bird-headed invaders had appeared in almost every fragment of the World. The strangers call themselves Aracoix, and they quickly attacked every city and community they came across, engaging all the World's Children in a bitter war for conquest. Though formidable and fierce in battle, the Aracoix know little of magic, and the folk of Aerynth managed to defeat the invaders, driving them into the wilderness. Though the first Aracoix encountered were universally hostile, in the years since some have broken rank to befriend the Children of the sundered World. These Aracoix revealed the secrets of the Runegates, enabling Travelers to end the isolation of Aerynth's fragments. The roaming Aracoix also gave dark hints about their origins. It seems that the Bird Lords came to Aerynth from another world entirely, looking for a new home before something destroys the world of their birth. These tales have added two new worries to the minds of Scholars: first, that the war with the Aracoix was only the first offensive of a massive invasion, and second, that whatever is driving the Aracoix to our World may eventually come through the Runegates to trouble Aerynth as well. Neither possibility is particularly comforting. Though initially hated by all the Children of the World, rumor has it that the Aracoix have made secret overtures to groups of Elves, calling for an alliance. When they first attacked, the Aracoix's lack of magical aptitude was their only weakness. With Elvish Magi to compensate, the legions of the Aracoix could become invincible.
