Before time, life within reality only existed in the Outer Planes, the planes being the breadth of the The Source. In this time, Zenric and the other Ancient Gods, often referred to by the Old Gods as the Old Gods, created all that is known in the planar realms. For some time, Zenric watched over the realms and planned a big bang that would shape a material plane.

The Godwave
CelestialAfter over 10 billion years of a golden age on Second World, GodWorld fell into war. At the heart of this conflict was Lokee, god of mischief and bastard son of the chief god Wotan, who became the first god of evil. The conflict between the forces of good and evil escalated until Ragnarok came and saw GodWorld being torn asunder in a great explosion where the gods perished. The blinding death-flash of the GodWorld’s destruction, radiated throughout the physical universe.

New Gods of the Outlands
CelestialEffected by the GodWave new gods formed in the Outlands and many stayed there and swore to guard the doors of the Spire so that none of the surviving Old Gods or any great and powerful new god could choose new worlds in the Prime Material as their power waned.

The Fourth World
CelestialThe remnants of Urgrund would eventually create two separate planets: Apokolips and New Genesis. About 30,000 years before the Modern Era, the denizens of the planets would obtain godhood and traits mirroring that of the Old Gods but they would be split in terms of moral alignment. New Genesis became dedicated to peace and goodness. Apokolips developed into a cruel, warlike culture. The name "Forth World" came about when these new members to the New Gods attained godhood and repeated the history of the Old Gods as theNew Gods of New Genesis and New Gods of Apokalips waged war against each other, causing the hostilities to remain to the Modern Era.

Humanoids Seed the Universe
Green Lanterns chronicled a “Great Humanoid Diaspora” as humanoids spread biologically similar species throughout the Milky Way galaxy. The gods then used that widespread form to seed life on worlds across the universe such as on Kèthîra or Toril the Forgotten Realm. The event is believed to be in connection with what one of the planets calls Keléstia.

The Age of the Sindarin Ends
Era beginning/endThe immortal elves were not known for keeping much in the way of written records, relying mainly on elaborate oral histories which usually took the form of songs and poetry. To outsiders, they rarely spoke of their past but they came to Hârn from the east around 10,000 BT as one of several stops they planned to make on their way to the Blessed Realm. Unable to resist the pristine beauty of the island, some decided to stay "a while." For three thousand years the Sindarin dwelt in peaceful solitude on Hârn with Siem, their deity and even when the god decided to continue his journey westward after returning to the entrance, some Hârnic elves chose to stay, the Sindarin.

Keléstia's Unwitting Champion
ExpeditionOn Earth, a struggling scientist who'd already over shot his time traveling target by five years, attempted to modify his gear to a surprising result. Though originally intended to harness cosmic energy, the adjustment allowed the scientist to harness the energy of Keléstia and use that energy to open portals to the many worlds the energy was connected to including Abeir-Toril. Spending the day traveling between them, the scientist would inevitably run in to trouble on the planet Kèthîra and be forced to enter another type of portal entirely. Expecting to open up a door into a proper doorway, the scientist actually opened a door to The Spire in O’Kuultaele Vairtatiis; where upon he would remained trapped in the city below until his equipment was repaired.
