The Winter of the World

The Winter of the World was a prehistoric age about which very little is written. During this time, the mythic Stone Scribes record the passage of time, but scarcely mention any developments in Dwarven society, or in the outside world, other than a slow, gradual cooling of the molten rock common on the surface in the Age of Molten Stone that preceded it. From the Dwarven records, it can be determined that this age covered a span of about 24,000 years.

It was followed by The Long Springtime.
