Time of Clay

Dates:        1TC to 1GT Ended with the creation of the sentient races (see Titan's Timeline)

Description:

This is the period in which the physical laws and aspects of Titan were created, and then the first animals. Many scholars believe that the period before the creation of the races was millions of years long. Their theory is that the main elemental Gods developed the physical aspects of Titan over many millennia. It was a period in which all the physical features and physical laws of the world were made. To the Gods this period of time was of no consequence of course. Once the main physical features and laws were in place the deities started to introduce the plants and animals to Titan. It was only once the creation of Titan was buzzing with the creations of the Gods that Logaan stepped forward to take his share of the clay from which he created man. Where some religions differ is that they argue the period before man was created was far shorter. Perhaps even less than a century. This probably stems from the fact that to most of the peoples of Titan and especially to the primitive peoples of prehistory, millions of years was simply an incomprehensible length of time. Thus the time was shortened to better tell the tale and to better focus on man’s creation rather on what preceded it.
