The Era of Solitude is the name given to the four thousand year period of following the Heraldic Epochs.

Silver Kingdoms

The Silver kingdoms existed from some time shortly after Aharietiam until likely just after the Day of Recreance. The Knights Radiant supported a unified kingdom across the land connecting everyone via Urithiru, with Alethela being the center of protection for all of the Kingdoms. After the fall of the Knights, and with Urithiru abandoned (leaving each kingdom isolated) they would no longer be able to function as they had.

Beginning

The Era of Solitude began after the Last Desolation know as Aharietiam. After being told that the Voidbringers had been defeated by the remaining Heralds, mankind began rebuilding for the first time in years.

Events of the Era of Solitude

• Aharietiam - Began the Era of Solitude.
• The False Desolation - War with Singers not lead by the Fused.
• The Destruction of Stormseat- This event likely ended the kingdom of Natanatan
• The Day of Recreance - Knights Radiant broke oaths and abandoned Shards.
• The Enslavement of the Parshmen - This may have happened just before the Day of Recreance.
• The Death of Honor - Honor was killed and the power he held was shattered by Odium
• The Collapse of the Silver Kingdoms - While unknown when the Silver Kingdoms fell, without the Knights Radiant the system would have broken down by this point.
• The Hierocracy - Classical Vorinism attempted to control the world, much of history was sanitized during this time.
• The Scouring of Aimia - Aimia suffered a cataclysm of some kind.
• The True Desolation - With the coming of the Everstorm, this ended the Era of Solitude.

The End

The Era of Solitude lasted up until the return of the Fused and Odium. This takes place the day the Listeners created the Everstorm the Beginning of the True Desolation.

Time Keeping

The current Vorin calendar in the Era of Solitude did not begin at the end of Aharietiam, but a date approximately three thousand years afterward. This date that starts the calendar takes place some time after the Day of Recreance but before the Hierocracy.^{[citation needed]}
