The chaos period has little recorded history, though bits and pieces of it do show up from time to time when people come upon some old tomb or structure. During this period the mortals are sorting out their cultures, coming to grips with who they are, and finding magic. Despite Targon being one of the three founding Gods, it was decided mortals had to discover how to use magic, not be created knowing how. This is why some races can not cast magic while others excel.
The Wood Elves and Ancient Elves are very steeped in magic and took to using magic quickly. Ogres never came close to using the stuff, though every once and awhile an ogre is born who is capable, if taught, to use magic. The only major development during this time would be the Kingdom Janesh. A small string of islands far off the east coast of what now is the Empire of Areilla a group of humans and elves settled to live in peace. They excelled in engineering and magic and it is during this time they rise to their heights. I will explain more about them when I go indepth into each races histories. As a side note, this was my nod to a friend and his favorite culture, Japanese. I had none of this sort of stuff when I started writing about my world, but he convinced me, even if they were only a side note, they had to be in there.
This period ended with the Ogre/Humans wars. The Humans were sick of being bullied by Ogres who wanted their land and wanted to enslave them, so they beat them back to mostly the eastern side of Tiana in the north (which is where the wars occurred). The Elves did not participate, which angered the humans who looked upon the neutral Elves as cowards. It caused a lot friction between the two races despite them not competing.
