The Deadwardian Era was a time period in the Boiling Isles during the Savage Ages.
Background[]
Deadwardian balusters
The Deadwardian Era was a period of time which overlapped with the 1600s in the Human Realm. To the present-day Witches of the Boiling Isles, this era is considered as a part of the "Savage Ages", as it was a time of "wild" magic, before Emperor Belos' rise to power.[1] The requirement to join covens did not exist in this era, as the Coven system had not been introduced yet.
Athough historical erasure by the Emperor's Coven would lead to this era being considered something of a dark age by present-day witches, the Deadwardian Era was actually a relatively peaceful and friendly time where witches used magic freely to help each other and themselves. This era, specifically around the 1660s or 1670s, is when Philip Wittebane, eventually to become Emperor Belos, first arrived in the Demon Realm; he began keeping a diary, which he subsequently donated to the Bonesborough Library. In the present day, donations from the Deadwardian Era are in the forbidden section of the library.
In this era, the sky of the Boiling Isles was more of a yellow-green shade compared to the present, where it is reddish-purple. The sea was a lime green color instead of the current purple-blue color. The trees are magenta instead of red.
Deadwardian Era culture mirrored many aspects of the 15-16th century culture of the Human Realm. For instance, one resident wore a medieval scholar's outfit commonly worn during the medieval times.

Trivia[]
- The "Deadwardian Era" is a play on the name "Edwardian Era", which is an era of British history.
- The Edwardian Era, however, spanned from 1901ā1910, over two-and-a-half centuries after the placement of the Deadwardian Era.
