I made this for a homebrew fantasy setting. Adjust length in years to what's appropriate for your own setting.
Use: Refresh page for every era you want to generate. You can generate an entire world history, with the rise and fall of civilizations, complete with a list of historical figures and what they were famous for.
Also useful for generating gossip, or something an NPC idly talks about:
"Didja hear about Antino, that explorer everyone was making fun of? Well I heard he discovered a ruined city a couple days ago."
