Prehistory: The Godswar

The Sundering: The destruction of the Shadow Gate occurred at the present day location of Shadow. The death of Myrkul happened in the present day Swamp of the Dead. Bane's apparent death occurred at the hands of Torm and Tyr on what becomes known as the Gods Plains. Beshaba, Oghma, Shaundakul, Sune, and Tymora are trapped beneath the northern Darkwood forest by Talos, present day Shadow Desert. The conflict ravages much of the mainland, leading to the complete destruction of the northern Darkwood forest, transforming it into desert. The region east of Darkwood is torn asunder from the mainland and drifts out to sea, becoming Laerad, which also bears the scars of the battle and wild magic in the Gods Plains.

In 711 SG, disaster befell the communities on the Island of Laerad. A gargantuan creature of legendary powers, known as a “tarrasque” awoke from slumber to wreck havoc upon the nearby lands. The city of Asgard took heavy damage. The tribe of green elves hidden deep within Parnelli had their dwelling destroyed in the incident, and found temporary refuge with the elves of Synoria.

Ashra'Rathai opened their gates to the elves of the realm.

The drow House of Rilynath arose to power, and took over power in Tharis.

The second descent; all redeemed drow, and the sylvans known or believed to be associated with the drow in tharis, were all returned into actual drow. A small number of far-away sylvans might have escaped the net. The ritual was far more conservative than the original descent, and mainly centred upon Tharis.

Torm was freed from the tyranny of Vizier Uzazmazil.

Return of the Shadovar to the realm.

Kismet breaks free of her imprisonment and throws the current Pantheon from their divine realms, commencing what will come to be known as The Silence. Kismet reclaims her portfolio as Goddess of Knowledge and as the old deities either die or retreat from the realm, several new deities rise up to take their mantle.

The elements were in disarray, winter lasted forever, creatures of other elements attempted to invade the material plane. Eventually ended in a grand battle in Torm, when Ryorik ceased power of the elements and forced them in under his domain.

Darkness falls upon the city of shadow as vampires and the intelligent undead begin to walk the streets openly, feeding and causing hushed terror amongst the citizens. An Aasimar cleric named Selucia, and a Sun Elf Paladin named Larenthanil decide to take action against a vampire named Julien. They ambush him in the Tonerra Monastery where a battle ensues. Selucia accidentally kills Larenthanil with a maelstrom of fire as she attempts to burn the vampire in a fit of rage. She escapes the vampire and falls into broken despair.

The Aasimar known as Selucia reveals herself to be a priest of a new god named Ashra, the mother of monsters. She is reported attacking the city of Tonovi multiple times and becomes an enemy of the state.

Commotion and hostilities commence in several cities across the realm. After several months of unrest, Commander Durant seizes control of The City of Shadow and bans all elves, fey and similar races for a short time.

The cleric of Ashra, Selucia, begins causing terror in the city of Shadow. She demands the head of Commander Durant, and each day the city doesn't deliver, she will kill more of its citizens. In the end, she is killed by the Shadovar named Gaius, who personally delivers her head.

Simultaneously, in the Necropolis of Nurval, a group of intelligent undead and their allies use the distraction of the ritual to perform a ritual of their own. They sacrifice a group of priests of Lysara and open a portal to the Shadow Plane, drawing forth a Nightwalker, which immediately begins raising the dead of the region from the grave, forming an enormous horde.

The slaves of Tonovi revolt, led by a charismatic drow named Minionel. They immediately gain control of the area immediately outside of the city and lay siege.

The Nightwalker and its horde of undead burst forth from the city of Nurval, expanding through the Dagger region. They first move on the city of Torm, but are stopped by a group of heroes. The undead turn and attack Tonovi, and the mass of slaves besieging the city.

The undead fall upon the city, and the slaves are soon caught between the undead and the city walls. Almost all of the slaves, mostly elves, are killed and turned into undead themselves. At the last moment, when all of the slaves are dead, the gates of the city mysteriously open, allowing the dead inside. The Nightwalker and its horde cause great suffering and chaos, but is eventually stopped by a group of heroes who kill. Minionel absorbs the essence of the Nightwalker. The shapeshifter Zakisi takes its head and flies off.
