Artesia is both a realm (planet) and its own magical universe.
(Each new realm is its own universe and planet too).
Leonardo Da Vinci’s vision for an escape from his own reality (and wanting a much needed vacation) created Artesia and other realms however unknown to him at the moment of creation he didn’t realize that a universe bubble was in fact expanding and unraveling in a fast forward motion simiultaneously from when his thoughts created it forward in time and backwards. Realms are weird that way.
From the first brush stroke with the magic element of artesium put to canvas,
he was witnessing the Artesia realm (and others) being born.
Unknown to him at the time,
The time differencial between him on Earth and this new Realm was staggering. This gave him an almost godlike feeling. History was passing in this realm of Artesia at breakneck speed in relation to Earth both into the past and to the present.
Ages (of time)
Artesia and the other Realms Go through cyclical periods called Ages. There are used to keep track of time but also to classify certain realm characteristics that seem to be prominent for the realm that occur during those phases.
Time Differences
Artesia’s temporal ratio compared to Earth fluctuates from moment to moment but generally settles depeneding on a lot of different factors. Magical potential, human soul weights or influence, galactic energy, raw magical power, influence from other realms, and the list goes on. A system of time “stabilizers” called Astrolaythes which are magical timekeeping devices align the realms and coordinate them from interfering too closely. The properties and specifics and the locations of these devices are a well kept secret by the Order of Concordia (a magical and religious order that oversees temporal management among a long list of its duties – more on that later). Earth’s time is always 1:1 ratio and used as the base or prime realm. Every other realm created or in existence (or yet to be discovered) has varying degrees of temporal ratios.
For Example:
when the children first arrive in Artesia, the ratio switched to 3650:1.
for every 1 minute on Earth = 2.53 days pass on Artesia (at 3650:1) aproximately
Here is a detailed Timeline of Artesia’s Ages and Time explained:
(*best viewed on desktop or laptop*)
| Earth Date / Period | Artesian Date | Artesian Era | Temporal Differential ratio |
| -17801-01-01 BCE to April 4th, 1250 AD (aproximately) Ancient Civilizations to Medieval Era |
-50 billion BCE to -50 million BCE years |
Age of Creation (Aevum Creationis) Age of creation time period before written history in Artesia and before known magic. Planet was still forming and lava and ash covered the realm. Single celled organisms finally emerged. |
3650:1 (initial) 784694:1 (peak) |
|
April 15th, 1250 AD to April 15th, 1252 |
-50 million BCE years to -2,664,500 BCE years ago |
Age of Emergence (Aetas Emergentiae) This period of time saw a lot of creatures (no humanoid yet) creatures emerge and start to form rudimentary relationships. The ancient Artesian era where Art was primitive and magic was not yet existing. Modern magic and even the landscape was completely different and limited. Dragons became a dominant creature but were not like anything like the dragons of the modern age. Everything was a lot smaller but the seeds were there. |
23667000:1 (peak) 3650:1 (average) |
| April 15th, 1252 AD
to April 15th, 1452 AD |
-2,664,499 BCE
to -100 BCE (aprox) |
Age of Magic (Aevum Magicae) *Early Magic Emergence Era* The start of hunter gather groups of creatures and primitive humanoid creatures. Magic erupts in the land causing a lot of warefare and chaos. The wild west days of the wars of the creatures era. Creatures had magic powers. Gnomes and Order of Concordia formed and discover temporal displacement and the other realms existence only theorized. |
13322.5:1 (peak) 3650:1 (avg) |
| April 15th, 1452 AD (Leonardo Da Vinci’s Birthdate)toMay 18th, 1489 AD |
October 9th, -100 BCE to January 1st, -50 BCE |
Age of Darkness Era (Aevum Tenebrarum)The age of darkness has many wars and a time where order in any shape is starting to take shape in the form of a royal family monarchy. Early family history includes many creatures and humanoid species ruling. The astrolaythe magic system was implemented to control the chaos and magic intensity and effect between realms. The Order of Concordia was established. |
