Line 11:
* [[Ancient Grome]]: The ancient human civilization of Dume is described more or less as this, crossed with the Library of Alexandria.
* [[Alternate Calendar]]: The appearance of humans on Aiers is such a significant event that people still number years from the "Apparition of Humanity."
* [[Apocalypse How]]: Happens a few times throughout Aires' recorded history.
** The "Age of Calamities" is a period of widespread natural upheavals that brought the elves'Empire of Whide Axis reeling. It also sees the collapse of "Sky-Age" human civilization (which may or may not have involved nuclear weapons), the survivors scattering throughout Aires and eventually reverting to a Dark Age existence.
** "The Cataclysm," set over two thousand years later (in 2676), is a massive geological event that devastates much of the planet while reshaping its landmasses to much more closely resemble Earth's continents over the course of 25 years. {{spoiler|It's the result of a "Sky-Age" terraforming device being activated.}}
* [[Crystal Dragon Jesus]]: Averted. Christianity, Judaism and Islam, introduced into Aiers by mankind, are shown to have endured the end of the "Sky-Age" and evolve into myriad but still largely recognisable forms over the millennia.
* [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]: The various human cultures and nations are reminiscent of their Earth counterparts, even down to language; Dumian for instance is implied to be Latin, while Bazikstan bares some parallels to various Middle Eastern states. Justified in that they're derived from both corrupted memories of Earth history and recovered knowledge from the "Sky-Age."
