Apostles of Doom

Начало книги

The Council States, where many of the humans in Demons of Astlan live, officially use the Post-Vargosian Calendar, which dates from the fall of the Vargosite Empire, 424 years before the arrival of the Dark Lord Tommus. Mount Doom is obviously in the Abyss, which does not have real days, nights or seasons. However, its denizens do use a rough calendar system in which the years seem to roughly correspond to Astlanian years, although this is a completely arbitrary choice made by various demon lords.

As a quick summary of historical milestones:

• Mount Doom was founded 54,760 years before the Dark Lord Tommus ascended to the Throne of Orcus.

• 4,467 years ago, in the final battle of Ragnarök, Asbrú—the bridge connecting Ásgarðr,' Jötunheimr and Midgard — was destroyed by Loki, thus sealing both the Æsir and the Lords of Jötnar from access to other planes of existence.

• 4,027 Astlanian years ago, Sentir Fallon, an avatar of Tiernon, slew the Demon Prince Orcus on the world of Etterdam. Most of Orcus’s D’Orc army was slain permanently by unknown means.
