The 1,000 Year Peace
Cultural eventAfter the Gods disbanded the Empire of Koth, an age of peace set in. The good Gods took care of the denizens of Ezrion, and the evil Gods were too far away from a source of Exitium that they were little more than powerless. Cities governed their people well (for the most part) and nobody starved. Great art and innovation came from this period. The construction of great statues, temples, and buildings (some of which still exist today) was also made in this period.

The Gods Left
Celestial / CosmicThe once thought defeated Vecna was temporarily calling the God's layer of heaven home. Vecna was the one person standing between Lord Karsus and Godhood. Lord Karsus killed a Tarrasque, a hydra, and a Gold Dragon just to create a spell that would render him a Demigod. Karsus killed Vecna in God's layer of Heaven and completed his ascension. Karsus is the God of Magic, or, more commonly known as The Allhammer.

In myth, the Ilithid society was rumored to have gone to other planets and enslaved their people, as well.
