	Skantos had developed quite extensively under the reign of the Empire, with the height of their rule after the conquest of the rest of Skantos had concluded in a victory leading to largescale development of advanced technologies, with radiometric dating of unexplained structures on [[Umay]] suggesting that the Theyvin may have even ventured beyond Skantos in spacecrafts of their own design at around 95200 BCE. Despite their many successes and advancements, disagreements among the Matriarchs and the rejection of Skantos' natural state lead to the gradual decline culminating in an outright schism between the Matriarchs, with [[First Matriarch of the Theyvin\|the First]] whom had come to appreciate Skantos wishing to cease rejecting Skantos' natural state in order to benefit the lives of the Empire's subjects to a position of equality and prosperity, while [[Second Matriarch of the Theyvin\|the Second]] wished to continue 'imperialization' to bring Skantos and the Empire into a new age of expansion under one System to dominate all. In the ensuing chaos, the empire was torn apart as the Theyvin populace suffered heavy casualties with the few survivors returning to a tribal way of life either attempting to rekindle their previous free lifestyle or yearned of a return to the System's order in perpetuity.

	The Middle Skantoan Era is widely regarded to have begun upon the establishment of the [[Kingdom of Baixinsai]] in Saikhan in 10009 BCE, the oldest of what would later become the 'Paramount Nations' which are regarded to have over time consolidated rule over a majority of Skantos onto themselves mainly by assisting end the widespread famines which had occurred during a millenia-long 'cold period' due to the eruptions. As Baxinsai gradually began to expand acorss central and southern Saikhan, the first 'Monastic Collective' of [[Mosonaral]] had largely unified Skantos' smallest and least populous continent in 9840 BCE (and had finished building said society's world-renowned spiritual temples by 7604 BCE), and [[Karakoram]] had largely begun unifying under the loose rule of its first continent-wide Empire under the [[Shirai Dynasty]] (a former minor noble clan under the now collapsed Karemi Confederacy) before Saikhan had finished confederating its subjects in 8970 BCE, around the same time that [[Ancient Asophania]] was said to have 'left Skantos' in Sycoryoan records. Later on, [[Senkher]] would confederate last in 7105 BCE, later also establishing Eastern Senkher in 6520 BCE, at which point the four 'Paramount Nations' had formed.

	After the gradual consolidation of the Paramount Nations, Skantos would enter the 'two millennia of great peace' where the planet saw largescale progress and prosperity, with a notable discovery whose true ramifications would only be felt later being the discovery of the [[Library of Eden]] in 6430 BCE by Karakorami monks residing in the city of [[Eden's End]] atop the peak of Mount Karakoram which would later establish [[Library of Eden (Organization)\|an organization of the same name]] in 6327 ~~BCE, notably this group of monks included [[Asai Aeko]], individual which had received the gift of immortality and knowledge at the end of the Theyvin Era~~. The Two Millenia would come to an end in 4150 BCE as the [[Tian Dynasty]] of Saikhan launched a largescale war of conquest against the Omkha Tribes located in the southwest of its territory, successfully conquering them over two centuries of sporadic conflicts which saw them subjugated into Saikhan. In 3998 BCE ancient [[Yata\|Yatans]] would also discover the Library of Eden, allowing for minimal contact between the two planets among those aware of the extradimensional space as a branch of the LoE organization was formed among Yatans, though as [[Humans]] and Skantoans are nearly identical the two did not recognise each other as aliens (with the reason behind this similarity still unclear, even if some connection in the very distant past is likely). Afterwards, Skantos entered another period of peace with only minimal tensions and conflicts until 1800 BCE.

	After centuries of peace aside from a couple tension points, Skantos appeared to have permanently settled into a new status quo where Senkher and Mosonaral remained isolated while the increasingly competitive Saikhan and Karakoram had become rivals due to Karakoram outpacing the much more populous Saikhan during its times of trouble. Everything changed in 129 CE as Mount Karakoram, the largest volcano on Skantos, underwent a super-eruption of a scale unseen in the past million years, plunging Skantos into a 80-year-long winter as the previous temperate forests and plains of Karakoram were turned into wastelands which caused the collapse of the Shirai Dynasty back into disunited clans, the shattering of the tenuous class system of Saikhan as the peasants overthrew the Tian Dynasty as the Kingdom fractured once more, and the tribes of Senkher/Mosonaral drifted apart from one another as the harsh temperatures made maintaining their confederacies impossible.

	The collapse of the previously advanced Theyvin Empire back into a state of tribalism lead to the degradation of complex societies on Skantos back to a state akin to the Primeval Era, ushering forth the 'Dark Ages' which lasted ~~until~~ 26500 CE as Skantos once more was solely composed of small tribes and communities which primarily subsisted off of nomadism or occasionally agriculture along the major rivers. The devastation that the Theyvin population faced during the collapse lead to a major dominance shift demographically and societally, as the Skantoans (which had been inhabiting the area around Central Saikhan since the Primeval Era) grew to become the dominant species of Skantos during this era, spreading across a majority of Skantos' surface in small tribal groups aside from the far-southwest where the Omkha remained dominant and central Karakoram (which was fairly temperate at the time) where the Praxtin remained dominant.

	The history of Skantos is shrouded in mystery, though despite this it is known that complex societies and settlements created by the Skantoans had begun first forming on the planet in 26500 BCE (though evidence suggests they were preceded by the Theyvin in 163100 BCE), later being joined by the Omkha in 11900 BCE.

	Out of the various species of Skantos, the Theyvin (whom share a common ancestor with the modern Skantoans) were the first to develop complex societies in 163100 BCE, with Theyvin spreading themselves across much of Skantos in small communities as a free people with no desire to concern themselves with issues which could arise on Skantos as dedicated themselves solely to personal enrichment mainly via a natural [[:Category:Metamorphic Species\|Metamorphic]] trait in their biology, changing their forms to live not only their own lives but the lives of others in an unending cycle. After countless years, the status quo was interrupted when two [[Angels\|entities]] appeared onto Skantos from an aperture to [[Spectrosphere\|another reality]], revealing themselves to the Theyvin in a form much like their own and rallying those which would listen into a much more organized and disciplined force than the remaining anarchic Theyvin, ending the Primeval Era as the '[[Theyvin Empire]]' was born in 162500 under the suzerainty of the Twin Matriarchs, whom swiftly waged a campaign to unify Skantos under one banner in a century-long struggle against dissident groups, incorporating all Theyvin they could under the Imperial System in rejection of Skantos' nature as a free spiritual world, building the planet's first structures with the pure reason of rejecting Skantos' natural order. While the Theyvin previously were free and often participated in other species' cultures on their own whims, under the guidance of the Imperial System they rejected all others as lesser.

	Skantos had developed quite extensively under the reign of the Empire, with the height of their rule after the conquest of the rest of Skantos had concluded in a victory leading to largescale development of advanced technologies, with radiometric dating of unexplained structures on [[Umay]] suggesting that the Theyvin may have even ventured beyond Skantos in spacecrafts of their own design at around 95200 BCE. Despite their many successes and advancements, disagreements among the Matriarchs and the rejection of Skantos' natural state lead to the gradual decline culminating in an outright schism between the Matriarchs, with [[First Matriarch of the Theyvin\|the First]] whom ~~had come to appreciate Skantos wishing to cease rejecting~~ Skantos' natural state ~~in order~~ to ~~benefit the lives of~~ the Empire~~'s subjects to a position of equality~~ and ~~prosperity~~, while [[Second Matriarch of the Theyvin\|the Second]] wished to continue 'imperialization' to bring Skantos and the Empire into a new age of expansion under one System ~~to dominate all~~. In the ensuing chaos, the empire was torn apart as the Theyvin populace suffered heavy casualties with the few survivors returning to a tribal way of life either attempting to rekindle their previous free lifestyle or yearned of a return to the System's order in perpetuity. In the chaos, the Second had been wounded and banished by the First into stasis at the cost of grave injury they could not survive from, thus wounded and alone they passed on remains of their knowledge and immortality onto a Skantoan.

	While Saikhan expected what appeared to be a revolution to bring peace, the Kolodymy Empire which found itself in a comparatively more peaceful world ill prepared to wage such vast conflicts, launched a invasion of Saikhan in order to liberate Skantos from the rule of the Divine, using its sophisticated [[Magic\|Carnomancy]] methods to advance quick and deep into Saikhani territory by rallying the society's peasants to rise up against their aristocracy, surrounding Baixinsai and advancing far enough west for many small statelets such as [[Gleann Gahaim]], [[Ikhtalnol]], Taaraa-Patitah, and Sycoryo to break away from the Saikhani confederate system, becoming wholly independent states. Seeing a clear threat to the stability of Skantos, the other nations of the world in the form of the increasingly powerful Karakoram and the previously isolated Senkher intervened, breaking the siege of Baixinsai and pushing the Kolodymy back before eventually capturing their capital of [[Pačmašhalavlӓ]], leading to Jaanyn's and many of their followers' disappearance as the Second Kolodymy Empire collapsed, leaving behind only a couple Qankuli city-states.

	Skantos entered a new period of peace after the end of the war, with the sole major point of contention being the Karakorami occupation of several previously Kolodymy-occupied western territories, of which most were returned to Saikhan within a few decades after some pressure aside from the furthest southwestern-most area where many Karakorami settlers had arrived, establishing the '[[Minamiram\|Territory of Minamiram]]' under the Karakorami Shirai Dynasty. Tensions over the status of this region continued for centuries, with Karakoram eventually relenting in 5 CE and handing over most of the territory to Saikhan as to avoid a major war against its only real competitor aside from a few main settlements which resisted the the transfer, proclaiming the 'Minamirami State' to defend the settlers' interests, though no major conflict had occurred here. Other major events in this era include the banishment of the [[Crystal Empire]] from Yata in 1000 BCE by the [[Alicorn Kingdom]], relocating [[Crystal City]] to Senkher in a sealed state which prevented it from ~~interracting~~ with the world and [[Sycoryo]] claiming that [[Ancient Asophania]] was 'permanently banished' during 398 BCE.

	After centuries of peace aside from a couple tension points, Skantos appeared to have permanently settled into a new status quo where Senkher and Mosonaral remained isolated while the increasingly competitive Saikhan and Karakoram had become rivals due to Karakoram outpacing the much more populous Saikhan during its times of trouble. Everything changed in 129 CE as Mount Karakoram, the largest volcano on Skantos, underwent a super-eruption of a scale unseen in the past million years, plunging Skantos into a 80-year-long winter as the previous temperate forests and plains of Karakoram were turned into wastelands which caused the collapse of the Shirai Dynasty back into disunited clans, the shattering of the tenuous class system of Saikhan as the peasants overthrew the Tian Dynasty as the Kingdom fractured once more, and the tribes of Senkher/Mosonaral drifted apart from one another as the harsh temperatures made maintaining their confederacies impossible.
