Edarmyrnis History
Edarymyrni is the name of this world. The name derives from the draconic words edar (earth) and kosjmyrni (mothers’ child - to raise another person's child). The dragons were the greatest powers that existed at year 0 (after the Decline) and played a great part in the worlds development, which led to their naming of it. It features a variety of sweeping landscapes, bustling trade networks and untouched relics from ages past, or people forgotten.
The Ascension
... 0
The Ascension was the first age of Edarmyrni. Prior to the Ascension, few gods existed, and those that did were representative of the more primal forces of existence. During the Ascension, the other creator races gradually disappeared from the plant, with only the humans remaining. The Sarrukh were the first to experience turmoil, having many of their creations (serpentkind) turn on them, eventually forcing them into exile. Without a strong central power however, the serpentkind never flourished as consistently as the Sarrukh had. Although no-one really knows the fate of the Batrachi, it’s thought they fled to the outer planes, becoming the Slaadi. The Aearee fell into decline as a result of various wars with dragons, elemental lords, dwarves and all manner of other creatures, eventually accepting an offer to serve the Elemental Plane of Air. The fey discovered the feywild, and having done so, opted to largely migrate there. The humans were the only race to stay in the material plane, having nought the technology or magical prowess to flee.

Fate of Mortals
Military: WarThe Fate of Mortals was a period of war fought between dragons and giants prior to both species becoming fractured in their unity. With the giants on jotun kingdom of Ostoria in Tila'thyu's north and the dragons a part of the fledgling state of Darastri which was then spread over the 'unsunken' Posuidete Archipelago; the pair of state fought a conflict over a perceived inheritance of how to guide a planet that was rapidly emptying of its intelligent populaces as a result of the Death of the the Creators. Darastri is oft considered the eventual victor after the Worldbreaker Skirmish, though they failed to act upon their victory in the grand war.

Reptilian Creation
Scientific achievementSomewhere in what is now the Posuidete Archipelago; when the region consisted of significantly larger islands, in a Sarrukh city the first yuan-ti was created after an experimentation amalgamating human and reptilians together. These first generations of yuan-ti were used as a slave race by the Sarrukh. In the years after this, the Sarrukh of the region would also create the first lizardfolk, in addition to numerous other reptilian humanoids.

Disappearance of the Batrachi
In what seemed to occur seemingly overnight, cities of Batrachi disappeared as documented by the bronze dragon scholar, Everthought. While the reason and nature of their departure is a source of speculation, a long-held theory holds that the Batrachi fled to Limbo and evolved into the Slaadi.

The Decline
0 807
The Decline is the human name for an extended period of turmoil across the Material Plane and amongst the gods. The event is seen as having happened due to Lathanders attempt to rebuild Edarmyrnis pantheon in his own image. This war led to the deaths of many dieties and reshaped numerous pantheons, including non-human ones. Key events during the Decline include the birth of Tiamat, the burying of Kurtulmak, the rise of Maglubiyet, the corruption by Yeenoghu, Asmodeus' trial, Zariels' subsequent fall and the appearance of the first female Gnomish dieties.
