BR - The Era of Dragons

The BR Era is the first formal era of the Quelmar Timeline, established by the Humans of Quelmar upon their creation.

About

Originally, the BR label stood for Bekilip Rekisix, Draconic for "Destructive Time". Over time, and as Draconic fell out of common tongue, the era was renamed "Before the Reckoning"

The BR Era is often defined by the emergence of Dragons, and the centuries of conflict between them and the smaller races of the realm, ultimately culminating in the banishment of dragons and the beginning of a new era.
