The Second Age

The peace was shartered one day when new races arrived in the world, and with them came the three-eyed terror birds. Great silver beasts with three glowing eyes raining firey death onto the lands. The ten dragon gods fought them but in order to force them back out of the world they had to sacrafice themselves, becoming ten points of power throughout the world. Wars broke out between not only the new races, but the ten peoples who had already established themselves. It wasn't until the arrival of more gods, sent to care for the world, that peace began to return. Pelor came down from the sun to heal the sick and revive the plants. Wanderer gathered orphaned children to himself and saw that they were cared for. Questgiver showed the people knowledge and ways to keep it together. Traveler brought forth mirth and whimsey to cheer the spirits. Hope showed the ten peoples and the new races that they could live together in peace. Unfortunatly another came too, Gamtharrdarr, Queen of the dead. She loomed as a shadow against the others sowing fear and chaos into the world. For this the other gods sent her away to the abyss, far below the circles of hell, to be kept at bay by Tiamat and her legions.
