For example, to humans the founding of Phaetia (and therefore the Two Kingdoms which are its modern version) is about as distant in the past as the development of writing and written history is from us in our world (about six millennia). That is, it is insanely difficult, if possible, for the average human to imagine a world in which Phaetia/the Two Kingdoms did not exist. Hell, the War of the Genies is more distant from them than the life of Yeshua bar Yosef ho Christos ha Mashiach (Jesus) is from us!
On the other hand, elves mature at about seven and a third times slower than humans (that number was achieved by dividing elfin starting age -- 110 -- by human starting age -- 15). This means that the founding of Phaetia was the generational equivalent of almost 900 years ago (883, to be exact, putting it as distant to them as the Middle Ages are to us) and the War of the Genies is as long ago to them, generationwise, as 1713 is to us! This, in and of itself, is one of the reasons why despite the high levels of integration in my campaign world, elves still find themselves set apart. After all, this elf:
is 59 years old or so!8975 years ago: The rise of the Zenata culture of humans in the lands which will become first Phaetia and then the Two Kingdoms. Taller than later peoples, they had extremely dark hair (ranging from mahogany to true black), and eyes of a dark brown or occasionally a dark hazel.

Rise of the Anlad culture of humans in the lands which will become
Phaetia. The Anlad people spawned two major cities: Tabaheq near the coast and Duru deep in the sands. According to legend, Duru was "covered in gold as a woman shrouded in silks, and equally as beautiful." Although the two cities had peaceful trade, they sought a union, and the Calif of Duru promised to marry the daughter of the Sultan of Tabaheq. The marriage was destined for failure, though. When the daughter of the Sultan of Tabaheq could not bear the Calif sons, he cursed her name and her line, and swore he would marry another despite the laws of their people. Although she had given him three daughters, he cast her out into the deep desert, taking back his name and his gifts and declaring their marriage over. He expected her to die in the endless sands, but she carried her children across miles of wasteland back to her home in Tabaheq. She made deals there amongst the dunes with the genies who lived there. They cursed the Calif and his cities for his arrogance, protected the woman, and brought her to society. A great war erupted between Duru and Tabaheq, a war that lasted nearly a hundred years and watered the sands between them with blood. The armies rode chariots to battle, and slaves from both sides labored incessantly to rebuild as the war destroyed towns, cities, and even the temples. The Calif of Duru swore that he would destroy Tabaheq and throw his daughters into the teeth of the genies who had denied him sons. His words were hasty and cruel, and the two genies heard his hubris. In the end, a great sandstorm rose in the desert, swallowing Duru's armies whole. The soldiers of Tabaheq fled, leaving behind their implements of war as the genies themselves wreaked vengeance on Duru for their Calif's pride, burying the once-proud city in the sand. Since those days, daughters of the royal line have been treated with equal respect to their male counterparts; all those born of noble blood are equal in the sight of the Two Kingdoms. Tabaheq is now known as Zep Tepi, and this is the beginning of the Cult of the Genies, though that religion doesn't become the de facto religion of the area until the institution of the pharaoh centuries later.

Rose Queen of Galatia, takes the throne of that empire. In the
ancient epic Ballad of
the Rose Queen, it is
written that she alone fought her way through the entire Phaetian
ranks and confronted the Phaetian king, Aeytus. Awed by her beauty,
and the fierceness in her eyes, he dropped his weapon on the spot and
bowed before her as a goddess, swearing eternal allegiance. At that
moment an inferno came from the heavens and seemed to consume the
two, much to the despair of both warring armies. The pair emerged
unscathed by the fire, however, and thereafter the two were married
and their kingdoms united. During the celebration of the victory at
the Kyrkus, an elephant broke through the railing separating the
floor from the seats and went on a rampage, killing many in the
audience. Queen Dyonna, in response, killed and sacrificed the
elephant, feasting many on unusual meat, and also built a moat 15
feet wide and 15 feet deep between the arena and the seats. Aeytus
announces the Eleventh Kingdom, breaking from the tradition of
declaring a new kingdom upon the coronation of a new pharaoh; he also
announces that his progeny shall be considered the first of a new
dynasty.

2544
years ago:
The priests of the Galatian temple-city, Tavia, set Metontas on the
throne as the king of Galatia and the hundred-sixty-eighth pharaoh of
Phaetia. Phaetians declare this the beginning of the Twelfth
Kingdom. They do not declare it the beginning of a new dynasty,
establishing the current dynasty as the Galatian Dynasty, rather than
one tied to any particular bloodline.

2213
years ago: The heir to the Galatian throne is kidnapped by
agents of the great diviner Nod Lesirah, who has foreseen that the
Galatian empire was soon to fall under the weight of its own
decadence and stagnation. This kidnapping is part of the immense
Plan concocted by Nod Lesirah to reduce the vast period of barbarism
which he has divined the world will endure before a new great empire
returns the land to peace and prosperity. The quest for the heir
results in Galatia splintering into the various realms of modern
Aporuë. It also, because the
heir was kidnapped to Phaetia, sets the stage for the Genie War and
the rise of the Prophet Bleghet (may his keffiyeh remain ever cool).
This also begins a short interregnal period in Phaetia.
2187
years ago:
The Genie War ends, resulting in the sinking of the Lower Kingdom.
The Prophet Bleghet (may his wineskin always be full) spreads his
Teachings (may they be written upon the inside of every eyelid). The
first modern pharaoh (the hundred-seventy-seventh) takes the throne
as a half-celestial ghost with DR 0. The Two Kingdoms are born and,
with them, the Thirteenth Kingdom and a new dynasty. Every pharaoh
from this point takes an additional throne name: Tum. The first
pharaoh to take the name Tum is this one, Tum CLXXVII.

20 years ago: Kel-Maraneh falls, and the Dealmakers abandon it to ruin. Rumors of plagues and evil curses abound, but in truth no one really seems to know why the village died. The Tariqa kel-Walikelbiann Vardishal just outside the village has stood as an empty ruin ever since, a reminder of a brief era in which civilization tamed the Agawu Highlands.
2 years
ago A pack of gnolls called the Kulldis tribe
inhabit the battle market and claim kel-Maraneh as its own.
A month
ago: Almah hires Dashki.
