The Beginning Adventures of the Critidiots as they like to call themselves are set at the tale end of the 3rd Age of Tairur, specifically around the year 3A2398 give or take a few of the last digit. The history of Tariur, as calender's show goes back a total of about 25,000 years once encompassing the first and second ages, A.A. (after arrival)  which refers to the gods arriving at the planet and choosing to populate it with their chosen races. 

This calendar goes as follows

1A- The first Age known as the Age of Creation- this age follows the creation of what the gods refer to as sentient life, where their presence in the world as hidden in secrets and their children were little more than hunter gatherer’s working together to carve out a part of the world for themselves. This age ends with the arrival of the gods and the culmination of bronze age technology being disovered at around the year 15,354, As far as the gods can determine, future day archaeologists would argue this was probably a little too rough of an estimate based on their discoveries later, but it would do little to change old, no longer used calendars. 

2A- The second age which follow goes on for just under 9,000 years follows the inclusion of the gods as physical beings in every day life and the improvement of life that comes with the working of bronze.What were once tribes of hunter gatherers and small, budding communities begin to develop into great empires that would endure for millennia. The humans, once divided by the massive inland sea bisecting the great Pangaea continent now able to interact with one another that the secrets of sea travel begin to unravel. Four divided people uniting under a single empire. While the Elves of the woods formed their own collection of city states, to be conquered in the early years of the age by a powerful empress to unite their people to a common cause. Wars between mortals run rampant through this age as all races attempt to carve a place for themselves, culminating in the largest war scene when the Thriband, the collective union of Orcs, Goblinkin, Trollkin and the Gorgoroth united their clans beneath the burning fist of a great war-chief and lead a campaign against the rest of the world that lasted just shy of 200 years, with the formation of the Thriband empire in earnest, a trading, and political super power. This age ended with the battle between Tempest, patron god of the barbarian like hunter gatherer’s in the northern waste lands against the Orcish God Oberran, lord of the storms.
