The Первая эпоха is one of the ages of Gielinor. It was followed by the Second Age.

Events

Like the rest of Gielinor, Ashenfall was first discovered by Guthix during the First Age. He brought over Guthixian settlers to the continent, and it was here he discovered Runecrafting with the help of the Stone of Jas, sharing the knowledge and magic with the settlers.

Wild Knights

Guthix founded the Wild Knights during the First Age, tasking them with both protecting humans from nature, and nature from humans.

Schism

Основная статья:

Over time, due to exposure to wild anima, the inhabitants of Ashenfall started to become (or were born) Amalgamated. These Amalgamated people would experience prejudice, due to being believed to be unnatural. This culminated in the Schism where the Amalgamated were actively hunted down. The Wild Knights would try to protect them the best they can, but it only ended when Guthix returned to the continent.

Departure

After seeing how the Amalgamated were being treated, Guthix was disgusted. He took his most loyal followers and returned back to the mainland. As he left, he placed a veil over the continent to try and prevent anyone else from finding the continent. This veil had multiple properties, obscuring the continent to some extent, but also causing those who left Ashenfall to forget about it. The veil also created a sort of magical greenhouse effect, which also trapped pollutants and particulates created during a cataclysmic event, tainting the water of the region.

New inhabitants

Either during the First Age or the Second Age, a group of Dragonkin known as the Cabal discovered the continent, and started constructing vaults. Also during the same time period, the goddess Lougrim arrived on Ashenfall, bringing with her the garou from their home world of Antumnos.
