LoC - Adestria

Long ago, thirteen deities were thrust into existence on an uninhabited, desolate rock floating in one of countless material planes. The first one was Bahamut, who would become known as the leader of the thirteen. Through the deities they brought life into the world. Oceans, trees, volcanoes.   Then, they came. The creatures. Beasts to fear, beasts of burden. Scavengers. Hunters. Packs and herds. With them also came the people. Those bound to establish the lands. Create homesteads. Settlements. Towns. Vast cities of fortune and misfortune. From the Aarakocra to the Yuan-ti, they spread across the lands like wildfire.   As more years past the thirteen deities, once worshiped in such high regard as the patrons themselves, faded from existence. Soon to only become a children’s bedtime story or folktale. Over a thousand years have passed since then.
