The Archons show up in person to convince Inioch to get out, but Inioch buys some time by telling them he can prove everyone will live together in harmony (which is what they've been doing so far, so he figures it's a safe bet) so the Elves don't need to leave. Inioch realizes that this means the Elves need to give up their home, and as you might guess he's not happy about this, especially since most of the Elves don't even know they're supposed to leave. Anyway, after a while the Archons figure that the job is done and place a bright new star in the sky to signal the arrival of the humans. The other races have Wizard Kings as well, but they're not important right now. The Elves are ruled by a wise and benevolent Wizard King named Inioch, who's one of the few people alive who remembers the Archons. The Elves now mostly live in the Valley of Wonders and after all this time most of them don't even remember that they're part of some divine plan, so they settle in and get comfortable. They set this plan in motion, but it takes a long time. Their plan is to conquer a new world, populate that world with other races (mainly Elves) to help make it perfect for Humans to live on, and then give it to the Humans as their new home. The humans are not having a good time since everywhere outside the Garden is terrible at this point, but the Archons still remember when they lived with the Humans and decide to help them out. However, unlike the bible version there are still other people living in the Garden who don't get kicked out, which are the ancestors of the Archons (AoW1 calls them Highmen, but every other game calls them Archons so that's what I'll use). The people who get kicked out of the Garden are the ancestors of the Humans. Everyone lives in the Garden happy and safe, but then some of them do The Bad Thing and get kicked out. The AoW timeline starts in what is pretty much the biblical Garden of Eden. Still, don't hesitate to correct me if I get anything wrong. I was going to post this in a different thread, but I decided it might be useful to make my own thread given that people new to the Age of Wonders franchise might want to read it, not to mention people who aren't new but could use a refresher on the lore.
