The Rifted Era encompasses the time after the Earth is split into four different mini-planets. The planets are named based on how close or far they are from the sun. So, the mini-planet that ends up closest to the sun is Summer, the next closest is Spring, then we have Autumn and Winter.
I haven't decided how long the Rifted Era lasts because I have a character from the Pre-Rifted Era who has to live through the entire Rift and pull the worlds back together for the Mended Era. So either Aura is made up entirely of Lush or she has to have a normal human life span.
I want the Rifted Era to last long enough for history to become muddled and rumors and traditions to change and become centered around the struggles and triumphs of each planet as its own thing. My story, Ice, Queen of Summer relies on the fact that Summer and Winter hate each other and Ice's marriage to the King of Summer is supposed to be what brings about the Mended Era.
So, either a lot happens in a couple of generations or Aura already has to be immortal before The Mend happens, which may cause issues with what I'm planning for Beware the False Moon, which is set in the Mended Era.
