Second Age

The Dwarven Rebellion facilitated the fall of Vizden. The rise of the eastern front by Mesifi, under Nasros Galbreth, led to the creation of the Galbreth Kingdom, stretching from the Kuanol Coast to Delg, the dwarven kingdom of the foothills which was led by the House of Delg. At this time, Mesifi loomed only a few hundred feet over the sea, with a single waterfall tumbling down the rocks.
The kingdoms existed over 2500 years in relative peace, interrupted only by the rise of Logar Tor in the west and occasional wars of political strife. The elves retreated to the western region of the forest of Harthelen and sunk into quiet study and slumber. The east of the forest and that which stretched over the hills of Delg was slowly cut away to fuel the machines and forges of the dwarves. The dragonborn, released from the yoke of the elves, lived as nomads and outcasts for many years. Wishing to find their own place, they eventually moved in a great exodus over the Windbreakers in the year S.A. 1261 and found a home in the Threadspine Mountains, coming to rest on the tallest mountain and naming it Pandesh. Several hundred years after the dragonborn exodus, in S.A. 1628, humans came down from the lands north of Razdún and sailed across the Sea of Whispers, settling in the lands beyond the Windbreakers, warring with the barbarians there, creating their own kingdoms and cementing their position in the world.
The humans underwent constant shifts in tribes and kingdoms until Ragnar the Great came to power. After uniting the humans into one kingdom, Ragnarök, he swept his men through the Windbreakers and across the lands beyond with an ambition to rule the world. The dwarves, not expecting the onslaught, were caught beneath the humans. Ragnar conquered Galbreth, drove the dwarves of Delg underground, pushed across the Mountains of Razdún and made alliances with the Orcs, and even travelled to the Mistlands across the sea. Despite all his efforts, Ragnar was never able to take Berringdon. His rule caused many outside the northeast kingdom to label him "Ragnar the Tyrannical". Ragnar lived to an extended age of 178, far outstripping his breathren. Theories around his longevity range from his own powerful magic keeping him alive, to blessings from a God, to an ancient magical artefact he discovered.
Whatever the reason, Ragnar died in the Month of Dawn Break in the 3256th year of the Second Age.
