With peace being preserved by the dragons, all of the races enjoyed a thousand years to recuperate and better themselves. During this time, magic flourished among all of the races except for the orcs, who would hunt down and kill any mages arising among themselves. Many orders of magic were created, each with their own specialties.

Heroes as well as mages walked Avlis. Occasionally, a Hero who was favored by a god of some alignment would be granted immortality and allowed to continue to roam Avlis. Immortality was not godhood, but it was almost as good as being a demigod. Immortals would frequently befriend their benefactor, and on more than one occasion, children were born of this union. Usually, the children were gods themselves, although not as powerful as their greater god father, and not as weak as their immortal or demigod mother. Some of these children went on to father races of their own. The most widely known case of this is the union between Mikon and the jungle-dwelling heroine Aryeh Gidol. Their son, Balgar, was born a lesser god, who with the help of his father Mikon, created the race known as the Wemic. There were a few more affairs of this sort between the nine great warriors and plane-traveling Heroes and Immortals in what is also called the Age of Complete Peace.
