The Age of Ascendancy began with the War of the Sorcerer-King which saw the defeat of Black Castanor by the recently arrived elves and their proficiency in magic. Most of the elves were led to Damesear by their leader Munas Moonsinger after allegedly singing to the Cannorian moon goddess, The Dame, but some followed Jaher to liberate Bulwar and form the Phoenix Empire. Over the next 21 years, Nichmer was defeated, and Jaher conquered Bulwar.
This age marked the rise of elvenization throughout Cannor and Bulwar and great upheaval from the old order. Magic became increasingly common, and eventually became a constant within the Cannorian nobility, who had also intermarriedwith the elves, creating a more half-elven dominated noble circle. The White Pestilence, an undead plague would eventually hit Cannor which furthered the shift to elvenization. In the east, Jaher led his armies in an invasion of Haless and subjugated much of the continent.
After Jaher's death, his daughter Jexis takes over and invades the Dameshead instead, further elvenizing the land, and clashing with the elf Ioriel over the dominance of the region. Her assassination marked a period known as The Interregnum, where many warlords sought to fill the vacuum of her empire, which would eventually end with the formation of Anbennar.
The Lilac Wars also occured during this age, where the House of Silmuna warred with the House of Siloriel over dominance of Cannor. This time also saw the start of the Greentide in Escann, which saw an orcish invasion destroy much of Chivalric Escann, until their leader Korgus Dookanson was defeated by Corin, an avatar of the disgraced god of war Agrados.
