Fallowtide
The name given by the Eldritch to the period between the end of the Chatcaavan War and the beginning of the next conflict. This is both an in-canon term (used by the characters) and a meta term (used to group the books that take place during this period).
Canonical
Origin
A combination of the words 'fallow' (to lie unused/uncultivated for a period to restore) and 'tide' from the Old English (a point or portion of time, due time, period, season). The Eldritch constructed it so because they still use words like 'eventide'.
Notes here about what the characters have said about this period; who began it? Who decreed it? Who was the first to use the word? Someone did.
Events
Probably should draw out a timeline here.
