World History

The beginning of a series of wars and battles over resources and territory between Dragonkind. Kobolds were used as shock troopers in these fights. These wars began to establish still-existing dragon's modern territories.

In our ancestors arrogance they decided to wage full-scale war against the gods. The war between Mortalkind and their Dragon lords was not a long-lasted one. Mortality seemed to have rebelled due to the discovery of arcane magic. Thinking themselves as more powerful than they truly were, ancient mortals rebelled against the pantheon and were decimated for their actions.   It has also been claimed by some sources that during the war, Mortalkind was able to convince the Kobolds to join their rebellion, likely with the promise of the power and loot for their hordes.

This period marks arguably the last time "Mortalkind" could be considered a single race. During this expanse of time mortality began to take on unique traits to adapt to the lands in which they now inhabited. Due to the varied environments of which our ancestors now found themselves, ancient mortals began adapting many different types of traits. Some adapted to the traits of the local fauna, some adapted unique traits unique to themselves.   This is the same time that the first forms of mortal government appears. It would not take long for tribes to become kingdoms and for towns to become cities. Wars would break out between the different types of mortals, and among themselves occasionally. This was also a period of unprecedented technological expansion. The technology of Mortalkind went from spears and arrows to metallurgy and adept wizardry.

Like many of you, my confidence in the divine has been shaken due to Dragonfall. However, I pray that none of us ever live to see the horrors recorded from the Invasion of Heaven and Hell.   On a normal day just like any other, all of Hell broke loose. Crevices broke open along the land and from within them come an army of demons. Their main entry point to this realm was in the lands now claimed by The Great Saveri Forest, which were completely decimated.   Their armies were swift and ruthless. Not only were warriors slain, but as were the innocent, elderly, and children. Most horrifically, being killed seemed to be a mercy from the invaders, for those who were taken alive and somehow recovered recounted horrors the likes of which I shan't invoke here.   The march of these devils continued onwards for exactly three centuries. Countless lives were lost, countless kingdoms destroyed, and countless amounts of knowledge burned at their feet. Those who had the power to resist and fend off the invaders were few and far between. The Great Druid Saveri and her companions were perhaps the most known defenders of Erodin of the era. Using her mighty power over nature, she ran multiple successful campaigns against the armies of Hell, however, she too would have eventually fallen if not for our saviors.   Three hundred years to the day, things changed. Cracks appeared in the skies all around the world, and suddenly shattered. Chariots of golden light pulled by winged horses rode down from the Heavens as a massive army of Angels appeared to combat the armies of Hell. The Demons, who had not shown any signs of fear to that point, had a mortified expression. The remaining invasion only lasted 13 years longer, which the majority of that time being taken to route out remaining splinter cells of the damned.   Once the immediate threat of the Demons had vanished, a general of the Angelic horde met with the remaining world leaders to explain the situation. According to the Angelic general Telantiel, the inhabitants of the realms of Heaven and Hell have been fighting each other from time immemorial. The Angels have taken up a role of guardianship over the realms which Demons invade, and have bested them in each and every battle.   The Angel's remained on Erodin for only a few months after the end of the war, many of whom helped to begin the reconstruction process. Although it is thought that all Angel's and Demon's left our realm, it did not take long for the first Aasimar and Tiefling to be born among mortals.

Immediately after the creation of The Great Saveri Forest, something strange happened. Once again a portal appeared to another realm, but this time it was different. Rather than invading our realm, the beings that emerged were simply curious of us. The strange 3-foot-tall creatures would become known as Gnomes.   Gnomes come from a realm known as The First World, a world of abundant nature and bizarre coloration. The Gnome's addition to the races of Erodin goes largely overlooked to this day. This is likely due to the timing of their arrival being during the reconstruction period after the demonic invasion. Shockingly, Gnomes attempted to ass

Perhaps the longest lasting war between mortals, the War of Crimson Mountain was an all-out war between the races of Dwarves and Elves.   The war started as a simple land dispute between the races. Dwarves, who usually occupy mountain ranges, and Elves, who enjoy settling in forests and plains, had seemingly natural borders until The Great Saveri Forest bloomed.   The Dwarves claim they had always lived in the mountain and the Elves founding of southern territories after the forest's creation means nothing. The Elves argue that it is their right to own the mountain due to it being within the area of the Saveri Forest, and thus it is their duty to protect it.   The war raged until a cease fire was enacted by the united Elvish nations and the united Dwarvish strongholds. The reason for the cease fire was not out of an understanding, but because both sides of the conflict nearly ran out of able-bodied fighters. To this day, the war has not officially ended and is still only considered a cease-fire.

The Dry Sea Exchange is the name for the vast exchange of goods across The Dry Sea. In 11864 the nations of (Elf Jungle), (Ocean Elf Southern), (Vishkanyan), and (Catfolk) signed a treaty allowing for free trade among the nations to flourish over The Dry Sea .    For many generations before the treaty was officially established the Vishkanyan people sailed the waves as a part of their culture, many of whom would trade goods between (Catfolk Nation) and (Elf nations). The signing of the treaty grants these traders safe passage in friendly waters and universalizes a common currency between the nations of the West and East.

The Drudge Voyages were the initial and the height of the voyages which brought Lizardfolk from their homeland to the rest of the world as indentured servants. The Drudge Voyages started in 12771 when Vanaran merchants introduced Lizardfolk to the outside world as slaves. The popularity of Lizardfolk servants was very appealing at the time due to their naturally strong physiques and the rush to produce goods for the ongoing trading boom at the time. Being coldblooded, Lizardfolk did not generally make their way to colder environments.

As the world's population grew and advanced in both technology and magic, the need for indentured servants diminished. Due to the efforts of civil rights activists and the fact that a Lizardfolk was among the heroes who defeated the Dread Lich, the world's opinions of slavery became negative. After a tedious series of pollical meetings, most civilized nations formally agreed to outlaw slavery on Quetzal 26th, 14058, a day that would become known as Abolition Day.
