The five past eras as well as the current can be separated into prehistoric and modern eras according to when civilizations began to record and document significant events. The various historical periods throughout the existence of Aurbis are differentiated into various 'eras', each of arbitrary length according to the conclusions of significant political occurrences such as the end of a monarchic dynasty (see the Second Era and the Fourth Era) or the conquering and unification of societies into a single governmental sovereignty (see the First Era and Third Era). The timeline page is a record of all notable events known to occur in The Elder Scrolls universe.
