The Titan Wall was created by the Giants through the forcing of magma into a channel. Once cooled, the earth was pushed away, leaving the twenty-foot high wall of solid glass that still stands today between the Savage Lands and City-States Region.
History of Lasair
Age of Titans
10000 PC 5501 PC
In whispered tones are legends spoken
Early days of the world dreamed of
The world was given form
In the hands of titans borne
Until their lands shattered and into darkness they fell

Fall of the Titans
ExtinctionThe Giants had molded the world into order through use of powerful magical devices. These constructions held back the primordial elemental chaos that had existed prior to their rise. Sadly, a surge in elemental forces found a slight weakness in the web of order created by the giants, and caused it to shatter. Bursting through with dozens of eruptions and other disasters, the cataclysm was centered upon the volcano which remains today as the Shattered Peak in the center of The Great Plateau.

Seeking out a hearth and home

And spreading, their arms wide

With jealousy did drakes look down
Fearing what mortals may take

Did rise to fight for life and home

Elven Exodus
Population Migration / TravelAfter the devastation wrought upon their population during the Dragonscourge, the scattered Elves found there was little holding their culture together. Rather than working to reestablish their limited numbers by grouping together in new cities, the different castes instead scattered across Lasair, finding new homes within the forests, waters, and other hidden places within the continent. Over the subsequent centuries the magical nature of the Elves has caused them to to diverge more and more from each other in appearance and attitude, shattering into what now can almost be considered many different peoples rather than a single sentient species.
