The Age of Darkness
1000 -> 950 Years Ago
Orcs, trolls, goblins, shades, harpies; these creatures all burst into being during one cataclysmic event known as the Sundering, bringing about the Age of Darkness. A hole was torn into this realm from the Shadow Realm, and all manner of foul creatures, both intelligent and not, stepped into the world. During this age, the dark creatures fought as a single army against the fledgling kingdoms of man, dwarf and elf, led by an unknown force. For the first time ever, these kingdoms united under a single banner but, despite their efforts, were losing the war.
In the last days, an elven mage named Garahel sought greater power through the other planes and in doing so, contacted the elder blue dragon, Par’Thax, on the Dragonplane. Under the tutelage of Par’Thax, Garahel opened the portal to the Dragonplane, allowing the black, white, green, red, and blue dragons to pass through into this world.
With the dragons, the single alliance of man, elf and dwarf were able to win the war of darkness, exterminating most of the dark races in the process, and forcing the rest into hiding, as they closed this portal forever.
