The Second Era
- The Calling
- The other gods saw Talia and The Gray One were happy with their creations and decided they wanted their own.
- Berengari wanted to create a race that was strong and devoted to each other, a race that would stick with their tribe and have undying loyalty. She created the Orcs, Goblins, and animals of the land.
- Kameno was lonely in the sea, there was beauty and mystery all around him and he had no one to share it with. He created the Sea Elves, Merfolk, and all sea creatures.
- Vepkhia wanted to create a race that was unique, that combined the best of bipeds and animals. She created the Werecreatures and Shifters.
- Glaurin ruled the skies and wanted to create others to rule with him. He created the Dragons and once he realized the power he had unleashed upon the world he tried again; he created Kobolds. But the Kobolds couldn’t fly and were afraid of the skies, so he tried one more time and created the Dragonborn and created animals of the sky.
- Diata wanted people who would share her creative, inquisitive mind, people who would inspire her and be inspired by her to create. She made the Gnomes and the Dwarves.
- Canary, seeing everyone creating these wonderful people felt left out. She wanted people who loved music as much as she did, she created the Kenku.
- Harl and Renn, seeing everything the other gods had done wanted to create a race that would entertain them, a race that would have free will and thought; they created Humans. Though they loved the Humans they quickly grew tired of them and created another race that knew how to have more fun; Halflings.
- The Expansion
- With all of the new races and gods that had come about the world continued to grow and expand. Cities rose, magic began blooming in places and the beings of the world were able to grasp some of it.
- The places that had been wild and unexplored began to find travelers traversing it.
- The Fey were discovered, they had been around since the elves were made. The magic of The Gray One and Talia hadn’t been perfect, some had sort of split off and absorbed into nature, developing into the Fey.
- The First Nightmare
- Arlu had been diligently doing their job for years, collecting souls and bringing them to the Afterlife, when one day they had a nightmare.
- They woke up, terrified and sobbing. A recently deceased soul had been drawn to them and comforted them, refusing to be taken to the Afterlife and leave Arlu alone and afraid.
- For once, Arlu wasn’t alone. The mortal’s soul stayed with them and eventually she received the blessing of Arlu and took on a new name – Jam Dreamgiver. She gave good dreams and comforted Arlu when they had nightmares.
- This Nightmare that Arlu had created the Shadowfell, the plane of nightmares, and it’s twin, the Dreamweave.
