Downtime
Life, RelocationMelora and Selûne spent this time on Lamh, tweaking parts of the planet like weather, which animals lived in which environments, etc. During this period, the two godesses are said to have been lovers, who had kept Lamh secret from the other deities to keep it as a sort of honeymoon spot for the two of them.

Discovery of Lamh by other deities
Life, PublicityMelora and Selûne were discovered to be living in humanoid forms on Lamh. The other deities scorned them for it, and for creating a world for their own pleasure, and so Melora and Selûne decided they would create a population to live on the world they had made together, and to leave it behind.

Creation of the population
FoundingThe population of Lamh as it is today was created, with the same races that currently live there. Selûne left Lamh at this time to move on to other projects, but Melora had falled in love with the world and the people they had put there, and wished to stay. This is when Melora and Selûne are said to have broken up, although they remained on good terms, and Selûne didn't totally abandon Lamh: she still offers magic to the people of Extalamh.
