Big Picture

Out of order and chaos locking each other, preventing anything to progress, the goddesses Selûne and Shar are created. They act as one for the time being.

Chauntea, the goddess of life, is created. She immediately argues for allowing mortal life.

Selûne creates Amaunator, god of the Sun, using up most of her power.

The Dawn War divided the gods generally between Selûne defanding life, and Shar wanting the world to go back to darkness. The war pushed Realmspace apart and created the Positive and Negative Energy Planes.

The planet of Aileon is created and the sun of Amaunator gives it life with the aid of Chauntea.

Moradin is brought to life by Selûne.

The Material Plane is stretched to its limits with the expanded Realmspace. This leads to parts being too extreme and other parts being too removed from life. To remove the tension on the plane, the gods shift two sections away to become mirror realms: the Feywild and the Shadowfell.

Demons start spewing out of the Abyss.

Asmodeus is created by Shar, starting the Blood War.

The First Breaking causes cracks in reality itself, letting some beings in from other parts of the multiverse before sealed.

Garl Glittergold was created by Selûne. Or Shar. It's a bit unclear.

As a result of The First Breaking, the war between Bahamut and Tiamat laid devastation to the material plane.

In order to save the material plane from the escalating conflicts, the gods created a barrier between the inner and outer planes, limiting all of their abilities to directly interfere. Instead, they have to work through intermediaries.

Most planes were enveloped in darkness as the mysterious forces outside the outer planes, with the aid of some of the gods, attempted to twist reality itself. Only the combined forces of the rest managed to thwart the attempt. The light returning is known as the Sunrise, and almost all cultures consider this year 0.
