The Formation

Celestial / Cosmic

Many rumors abound about the creation of Ashanor. Unfortunately most are just that rumors. As the Orcs tell it the world was forming for it's first hundred years. All that existed here were dragons and beholders. The first Orcs arrived here some time later through portals from a variety of other worlds.

The Humans believe that the world was formed by Benyar as a tribute to himself and a new empire to control. The orcs arriving was a mistake and were the cause of the dragons falling to infighting.

The elves say that it was Luvia who put forth the planet expecting to have a plane of order and law. Everything that occured to upset that was largely the dragons fault.

The Dwarves say that Markovia and Marlog conspired to create this planet. It was they that wanted a whole world dedicated to the sea. As they are the most commonly worshipped deities many who otherwise are unsure tend to lean more towards the Dwarven stories.
