| - | A basic history of the world ''(from the original site, should probably be updated)'': Thousands of years ago, the Gods all came from the aether and created the world. Many of them even created their own races to populate it. And for countless generations, the world was at peace. The different races were isolated, with little or no contact between each other. The gods remained on the world and dwelt amongst their creations and followers. But not all of the gods liked what the others had done. Lolth, sister of Correlon Larethien, was particularly jealous of his creations. The elves were perfect beings. Long-lived, hearty, wise, and skilled at magic. Her creations, the spiders, were looked down on and generally maligned by the other gods and their creations, despite the beautiful webwork they created. And so she decided to steal her brother's elves. Things began small. Bands on elves were corrupted, made into dark elves, known as the drow, and turned on their bretheren. Skirmishes broke out across the continent of Lorius. Eventually, it spilled over into the rest of the world. This time was known as the Elf Wars. Lolth had corrupted a large majority of the elves, and only a few remained to fight. However, most of the other gods sided with Correlon against Lolth, and all the races of the world all fought against her and her monstrous creations. Those gods who did not side with Correlon Larethian remained neutral, and Lolth was all alone. The wars raged for nearly a hundred years, ending when Correlon bound Lolth and all her brood in the icy wastelands in the south. While the powerful magics used in the war had dramatically changed its landscape, not all of its consequences were bad. The isolation that had seperated the different races for so long had ended, and a new age of peace came upon the land. This was nearly three thousand years ago, and though many areas of the world are far from peaceful, there have not been any major wars since that time. There are whispers, however, that Lolth is consolidating her power, and will one day break free of the icy wall that imprison her and the drow, and exact her revenge upon those who stood against her.
