The Time of Light

The Time of Light refers to a period of Pannithor's history, thousands of years ago.  During this time, the three great races; Elves, Dwarves and the human Grand Republic of Primovantor ruled over a land untroubled by Orcs and other evil creatures. 
The impact of the Celestians is clear. Even before their arrival, the influence and power of the old Gods had begun to markedly fade. As humans, dwarfs and elves alike spread across the world and began to forge their own legacies, their reliance on and belief in their creators waned. For the elves, this process was more or less instant. Their increased delving into magic had seen them pay less and less attention to their divine overlords and even their creator himself. With the arrival of the Celestians - all-powerful and all too eager to share their wisdom with the elves, the use of ‘gods’ eluded them more and more.
Little is known of the Celestians, save for the ramblings of Athalaneus, but they gave many gifts to the races.  To Men, they gave the ability of extra-planar travel while the Elves were able to create remarkable works of art and the Dwarves delved great underground cities.
But the Celestians were not content merely to share the limited realm of the elves. Such beings would not be contained, and spread their attentions across the whole world, taking in the cultures of humanity and, eventually, even dwarf-kind. The dwarfs were naturally the very last to succumb, isolationism and suspicion built into their very being, but eventually even they were brought forth by the wonders which the Celestians could bring.
The three races were united in their worship of the angelic Celestians.  
And what wonders they were. The history of each of the noble races speaks - frustratingly briefly - of the Time of Light; that almost mythical time of ancient history in which all three races united in peace and prosperity, and reached further and achieved more than at any time before or since. Those who know where to look can find more detail.  
Once The Kingdom of Elves, The Underlands of The Dwarves & The Human Republic of Primovantor lived in peace watched over by the Celestians, beings of immense power who gifted the three races with knowledge and magic.
