The Founding

The first inhabitant to both the multiverse and Plains of Elysium was Pelor. While Asgorath and Tharizdun continued forming the multiverse, Pelor created life to live within it. Asgorath created him with the purpose of looking after its lush forests, the mere power of his presence, and the pure light his presence let off was able to provide the plane with the divine power it needed to survive. He took on the tenants of his creator, nurturing and protecting.

The second being that was created by Asgorath was the Wild Mother. Her power over the wilds met in contrast to Pelor. The two quickly fell in love and took on the divine purpose of inhabiting the multiverse. Across the many upper planes and the material, they in unison created a variety of creatures and beings. Corellon was made, who later became the Father of Elven kind. Odin and Kord were twin brothers created to look over the plane of Ysgard, which later would be known as Ygdrassil. After the birth of the first prime deities came the birth of more. Much like the wheel of cosmology however, balance is needed for the multiverse to remain intact.

From the seed Tharizdun planted, the Abyss began to grow. Endless layers of pure evil descending like a tunnel towards the far realm. Creatures more foul than devils lurking in the shadows of its darkest corners. Two betrayer gods were formed to take care of it. The demon lord Orcus, master of the undead, and Demogorgon, the Prince of Demons. Tharizdun fully succumbed to his madness, the power he held was once driven towards the creation of the multiverse. Now he sought nothing more than to unmake it.

One of the first battles that took place for the mortals of Osserea, was the assault on the white wastes. The frost giant king named Thrym, sided with the betrayer gods and was sending forces of his own into the elven continent of Olyne Elunore, along with the Drurian Dynasty. Due to the harsh terrain, the battles were slow fought, and hardly won. The turning point of the conflict came when remnants of frost giant remains began to appear. Some unknown force in the White Wastes aided in the effort. Thrym proved to be a devastating opponent however, slaughtering hundreds before succumbing to his wounds.

On the plane of Gehenna, the earth primordial by the name of Ogrémoch and Thor, the quasi-deity son of Odin, were locked in battle. The fight was a long one, waging over the course of several years, before Thor stood victorious over the fallen body of the primordial. This defeat was one of the first primordials to fall in the war, due to this victory Thor rose in infamy among the others in Ysgard. Legend has it that the legendary hammer Mjolnir was formed from the dense metallic heart of Ogrémoch following his victory.

Moradin, father of the dwarves, took the title of the All-Hammer. His forge in Mount Celestia became renowned for the legendary items it crafted. Using his gift, he bestowed wondrous creations to the other prime gods, and their allies to use in the dawn war. Mjolnir was forged for Thor. Kords Thunderspear, Meloras staff the Spire of Conflux, and even Heimdalls legendary blade are several examples of items that were produced. Without these armaments, the war for the Prime Gods would have been unachievable.

With a well placed trap, Pelor and Melora managed to trick Torog into leaving his tunnel network beneath the Prime Material Plane. A battle ensued that took a tole on both Prime Deities, but with a final blow from Pelor, Torog collapsed lifeless to the earth. In his death throes, he released a volley of toxic tears, their acidic liquid burrowed deep into the Prime Material Plane. Rumor says those tunnels are the current hiding place of his followers, awaiting the chance to avenge their fallen lord.

Following the Death of Kelemvor, the souls of the dead creatures across Osserea became trapped in the ethereal plane. With no means of escape, and no god to grant them passage to the afterlife, undead began to rise on mass across the prime material plane. Vengeful spirits attacked from graveyards, and revenants seeking justice for their murder stalk moonlit forests. Mortals that were aiding in the Dawn War are pulled back to defend against the hordes of the undead.

The Moonweaver, Sehanine, joins forces with her followers on the prime material plane and wages a counter offensive against the forces of the undead. Pushing back their numbers and forcing their most powerful to go into hiding. Across the land of Osserea Sehanine is recognized as the turning figure in the war against the undead.

Sif, the goddess of War joins forces with Heimdall, god of loyalty in an assault on the 'Fortress of Brass' in the Elemental plane of fire. The forces hiding within the walls hunkered down, drawing out the battle for over a hundred years. The forces of Asgard proved too powerful though, eventually wittling the defenses down for invasion of the fortress. The location was destroyed, leaving nothing but a ruin of its former self. The Efreeti, took this opportunity and upon the occupying forces departure, took over the ruins. Rebuilding it into a proper city, renamed to 'The City of Brass."

In the flying city of Tumholde, over the Nation of Durbar, Erathis and Tyr were both ambushed by the demon lords of the Abyss. The battle between them waged for days. Mortals used this time to evacuate the city, which was a well thought plan as the fight ended when Orcus destroyed the city. Erathis fell, suffering a mortal wound as she crashed into the earth below. Her husband, Tyr made the ultimate sacrifice for both her and the mortals of Osserea. Using what divine power he could muster, he tore open a portal to the Abyss, dragging in both Demogorgon and Orcus.

Between the nations of the Kal-Munza Dominion and Olyne Elunore, war has broken out between the Drow and the other races of the elves. The Drow followed their god Lolth, the Spider Queen, While Corellon lead all other Elves in a war against their cursed and corrupted kin. The battle was long and brutal, taking a severe toll on the numbers for either side. Only with the aid of the Prime god Kord, did they gain the upper hand. In one of the final bouts, Kord threw his thunderspear, pinning Lolth to a mountain side, where she was forced to watch both her people and Zehir, the cloaked serpent be slaughtered. This battle took a heavy toll on the elves, as Corellon the Arch Heart perished.
