Dark Ages of Agrax

The Dark Ages of Agrax refers to the time period following the collapse of the Nugai Empire in 3776 Ʋ and the beginning of the Republic of Agrax in 4886 Ʋ. The term "Dark Ages" refers to the lack of recorded history, and what was recorded was lost during the Siege of Vale, when the Holy Temple of Jobriunga was burnt down by the Escainian revolutionaries in the Kingdom of Aqios. From various myths and historical evidence from neighboring nations, the Dark Ages of Agrax can be somewhat explained and cataloged.

The period is often historically described as wartorn and overall secular, with the movement from theologically-motivated empires to confederate-type republics, although mysticism is to believed to have increased exponentially during this period, as well as various different interpretations of TBD.

Although there is a historical lack of evidence towards the much of the history of the region, art and poetry have been found to have increased during this period, with numerous abstract art paintings and poetic nightmares of the night sky and war. Musical compositions, mostly that of string baroque and harps, have also been discovered years later that were found to have originated in this period. Most of the music lyrical content consists of the ever-changing political state, as well as religious and everyday up-beat tunes to basic instrumentation, allowing for a sort of "solace" in the ever-silent dark period.
