The Urdragon brings Order to Dyrn. Prior to this, the world was beset by primordial beasts that had shaped it for eternity. The Urdragon mated with the First Light and laid its eggs across the surface of Dyrn. The Urdragon commanded that Time begin.
During the First Age of Dyrn, the Urdragon drew the world forth from the primordial chaos and brought order. The gods walked the surface of Dyrn with their creations. Much of what hapepned during this age is lost to modern knoweldge, with what scraps remain gleaned from the oral histories of the Giants, the descendants of the Nephilim. For this reason, dates during the Age of Divinity are expressed with relation to the giant calendar in years Before the Ordning (B.Ord.)
The Urdragon brings Order to Dyrn. Prior to this, the world was beset by primordial beasts that had shaped it for eternity. The Urdragon mated with the First Light and laid its eggs across the surface of Dyrn. The Urdragon commanded that Time begin.
Iadryn, the Jade Dragon was born and in her hatching planted the initial seeds of animus across Dyrn.
To assist in the scouring of Dyrn, Iadryn created both the Nephilim and the Primal Wyrms, ancestors of the Giants and the True Dragons, to wage war against the Primordials.
The Draagonform Gods, with the assistance of the Nephilim and the Primal Wyrms, rout the last of the Primordials from Dyrn, allowing lesser life forms to flourish.

A vast upheaval in the heavens leads to the undoing of the threefold Gods of the Dead. Yotl and Ynapas are unmade and Ythradun, the God of Death of the Mind, Dreams and Nightmares was irrevocably changed, fleeing his divine domain and creating the Abyss, before being imprisoned by the other Gods in another universe, the only entrance to which is shuttered within the Etherium.
Corrupted by the whispering of Ythradun from its prison within the Astral Sea, one of the eggs of the Urdragon hatches deep beneath Dyrn. A corrupted deity slithers forth, and in it's birth throes tears great tunnels and caverns throughout the dark depths of Dyrn.
Denizens of the Underdark and servants of the Pale Dragon begin sallying forth from their hidden caverns, taking surface dwellers and imprisoning them below to swell their ranks.
The first Tor Walls are raised within the human territories by the Marble Dragon Cyttra. The Safehold Gates are forged beneath the Dyrnspines by Gyrd the Cinder Dragon. Elven clerics reinforce the Yrnwood Groves with Yllorum, the Ochre Dragon.
Nyada, the Turquoise Dragon, at the behest of the Pale Dragon, takes to the skies, blotting out the First Light and bringing unending darkness to Dyrn.
The Dragonform War begins. The allied races, with their gods, fight a protracted war against the Pallites forces, led by the Pale Dragon and his Pallites followers from the Underdark. Under an eternal darkness summoned by Nyada, the God of the Tempest, the war ends with the intercession of the Urdragon and the hatching of its last two children - Sullyste, the God of Light, and Selyne, the God of Protection.
The Nephilim are reluctant to join with the Dragons in fighting in the Dragonform War. As a result, the Primal Wyrms create the first Dragonborn as soldiers to fight in the war. These Dragonborn warriors are employed on both sides of the war.
The Great Librarium is destroyed, and the Pale Dragon vanquishes Arcyne, the Sapphire Dragon, stealing from it the Profane Word of the Major Eldyrion

During the Age of Paucity, the departure of the divinities from Dyrn saw the world sink into a dark age. the last of the Nephilim, Annam Allfather, led his children the giants into the high places of the world. Disease was rife in the aftermath of the Dragonform War, and magic waned without the direct influence of the divine. This age saw the rise of the Dragon Kings, and subsequently widespread uprising against their rule. The Elven/Human Kingdom of Calladron was formed in the ruins of the draconic empires. The Age of Paucity neared its end as the power of the celestial scale waned - fey incursions and the folly of the elves would see the age end on the eve of a new war. What we know of this era is recorded in the songs of the Elves, and for this reason dates are expressed in the Canyd Flydden - the Growing Years of the Elven calendar.
With the formation of the Celestial Scale, the Nephilim depart Dyrn, returning across the planes to Jotunheim. Only Annam Allfather remains, the last of the Nephilim, and he guides his children to the high places of Dyrn to wait out the rest of time. He prophecises that the Nephilim will return and guide their children to war again for the final battle of Dyrnsend.
With the Intercession, the tempests which clouded the sky for centuries are cleared. The remnants of the First Light now glimmer as the Ember, and Sul, the mortal remnants of Sullyste, burn in the sky as a new sun. Lyne, the mortal remains of Selyne, light the night sky. The stars remain absent.

Unseelie and infernal forces have been for the most part beaten back to the Dyrnspines. Calladron Royal Forces attempt to enter Tor Revaine and are rebuked by the local Elven forces; the Elven Occupation begins, with the line of Calladron dying out by 3180, and the kingdom dissolving into independent Tors and settlements under proxy Elven rule by 3181.
Resistance efforts against the Elven Occupation are organised and united by a party of Delver and Human heroes. Armed conflict becomes commonplace across northern Terrenos as the Elves, driven by their Fey influence, ruthlessly suppress opposition to their rule.
Elven records first mention Orcs, songs telling of a warband that savagely attacked an Elven settlement within northern Terrenos.
Human and Elven lovers beseech Macha, a powerful Archfey to grant them a child. Macha with her sister the Morrigan, works a powerful magick that allows humans and elves to interbreed.

In the aftermath of the war, such hybrid pairings became much less likely to grant offspring, although orcs, elves and humans continued to retain the ability to interbreed.
The Anathema of the Fey is cast by a dying Delver cleric after the sack of Titespur; Elvenkind and Fey are cursed to experience agony and malaise on Dyrn when exposed to "cold iron", or the iron ore known as silver hematite, known to the Delvers as Lynesalt and so named after the goddess of protection, Selyne, a mineral found in abundancece within the Delver mines.
The Martyrdom of the Ten Thousand takes place deep within Feyr Caverill. Accompanied by 10,000 disciples, Aobinen and Deannas commit ritual suicide, dying in each others arms and using the forces released to mend the celestial scale.

The leylines reignited, magic returns to order within the world. However the damage is done. The smallfolk, having spent centuries under the rule of Elven sorcerers and wizards, now fear mages greatly. Mages are pursued and killed, and much ancient knowledge is destroyed, either by a populace afraid of its potential, or by mages attempting to hide their abilities.
Prince Iandric dies thrice on the Isle of Fel Eris at the Broken Tower and completes the spell begun by the Martyrdom, opening a rift to the Shadowfell and laying down leylines of magical energy across all of Dyrn.
