The History of Isilmir

## The First Age - The Age of Creation

It is said that three gods made Isilmir when there was nothing yet in the world.

Rasmophil took a piece of himself and shaped it into a huge ball.

Tillipmus took the ball and shaped continents, mountains and valleys.

Then Philmusmo took the ball from Tillipmus and when he saw what Rasmophil and Tillipmus had created, he cried with joy, overwhelmed by the beauty of it, and his tears filled the oceans and gave life to the barren earth.

This is where our story begins:

After three centuries the first living being was created, The Mother of Dragons, Tiamat. She nestled her eggs and gave birth to the first race of Isilmir, the Dragons. Tiamat ruled the lands, all belonged to her. By the sixth century of the First Age (FA) she had the whole world under her dominion.

Bahamut, The Justice Bringer, saw what had become of most of the dragons, once peaceful and prosperous and began to form an uprising in the year 811 FA which ended up ultimately in The Dragon War, around year 980 FA and for the next 20 years the two factions of dragons continued to wage war against each other.
The War of Dragons were so devastating to the very fabric of nature that a surge of magic rippled through the entire world and a portal to the Fey Wild was opened due to massive amounts of magic exposed to Isilmir during the War of Dragons

Now the three gods overlook everything that happens on Isilmir.

## The Second Age - The Age of Dragons

### 1st Century

The surge of magic and the portal to the Fey Wild marks the coming of the 2nd age.
From the portal many a race sprung forward. The elves were the first to come through the portal and cast their gaze upon the new world, which previously only had been inhabited by the dragons.

The surge of magic had also made something happen in the far north.
All the way up in Dunir a race, sprung from stone had emerged out of the mountains and the first Dwarves of Dunir  had shown their face to the world, albeit only briefly to explore other places they could go, and they discovered mining and gold in Icy Peaks after sending an expedition there.

Something also emerged by the dragons, specifically Bahamut and his followers created something new. They had created something that wasn't quite a full-blooded dragon. Bahamut had taken inspiration from the strange new creatures that came into the world after the War of Dragons, and thus he created a new race, to help him in the battle against Tiamat.
With the Dragonborn he created an order, honoring his father Lendys, thus the Order of Lendys was created.

### 2nd Century

In the 2nd century, a new race came to Isilmir. Noone fully knows how or who Humans came to be, but they came nonetheless.

The Elves also began, in the 2nd age to master the magic that brought them here, they started using it to build and started weaving it into every aspect of their life.
Some of the elves who tried to use the magic without fully understanding it were corrupted by it and the magic corrupted their bodies and their minds and turned them into another race, known as Orcs.

Another, until now unknown tear in Isilmir had been made during the War of Dragons. It was just known as The Tear south in Khitai, and in the 2nd age elementals emerged from The Tear.

### 3rd Century

In the 3rd century, the humans inhabiting Vailia started the basic concept of agriculture and due to this, they begin to expand in numbers and mostly north and east.

At the Elves some of the High Elves, reject the use of High Magic and migrate south to the forests and out of spite change their heritage to now being Wood Elves.
The High Elves also form Sealthan, the continued home of most Elves, to this day and establishes a Council to lead Sealthan.

In the 3rd century another race is sprung from stone, in the mountains, now known as Helm's Mur, and goblins make their entrance in the story.

The Dragonborn are also taught how to use magic by their draconic ancestors.

The Mountain Dwarves begin to worship Muradin.
