The history of Quintalis is divided up into 3 eras- The 1st Era, which is the time of the ancients. Not much is known about this age, except that it was before the Magi first appeared. It is said to have been a time of growth and of knowledge and of powerful Espers . The 2nd era is the age of the Magi. They wreaked havoc for more than a millennium, wiping out entire civilisations and plunging the world into chaos. Its end is marked by the banishment of the Magi by the Ten. The 3rd era is the age of technology. The first half of the era consisted of the survivors of the 2nd era rebuilding their lives, recovering from the Magi, followed by radical technological advancements, leading to the discovery of Lightning Shards .
