These are the major time periods referred to when talking about the ancient ruins, artifacts, and books.[1] The order of the eras is not completely clear, however Nie Li does state that the Era before the Age of Darkness was the Sacred Empire Era.[2]
At one point Nie Li mentions the Black Gold Empire Era, but then it is said that the Black Gold Empire was an empire during the Snow Wind Empire Era. [1]
The major eras are:
