Fans of Amalur and 38 Studios might remember my interview Kingdoms of Amalur's Art Director, Tim Coman, when he remarked that the team had 10,000 years of history to jump around when choosing time periods for their games. Of course, 10,000 years is a little difficult to understand, so 38 Studios has just released a new website to encase their overarching Amalur brand, at www.Amalur.com.

On Amalur.com, players will be able to see some of the various ages and the historical events that inform those ages. Of particular interest is the fact that it seems like they've only revealed 5,000 years of their 10,000 years of preset history. I'm assuming that's what that little padlock under the timeline denotes. Either way, the site provides a fantastic look into the world of Amalur itself and all of the events that helped shape it.

On that note, I wonder if we'll get a sci-fi-ish Amalur at some point on the far end of the timeline. Maybe steampowered guns. Now I need to sit down, that sounds really cool.
