An expedition to the Misty Mountains discoverer two new types of metal while exploring an ancient ruin of Elder Dwarves. Adamantine was first thought to be an alloy of iron but soon was declared a new metal when further experimentation was conducted on the armor that was found.

The Tales of Eora
The events of Eora are plentiful and extraordinary, but mostly kept inside of the continent. Though some relations happen between the two mainlands of Manterra, they keep to themselves regarding their politics and most inventions. Eora has seen many civilizations rise and fall on its land, a few eras have passed before the start of the Great War that changed both the political and partly geographical landscape of the larger continent.
Draconic Era
897 1963
At the dawn of civilization no mortal help neither divine nor arcane power. The dragons, both metallic and chromatic, did hold some small sway over the world around them. While chromatic dragons held firmly to their knowledge of the arcane, most still to this era, the metallic dragons showed some of their abilities to the first Elves who then developed the first sigils and glyphs of arcane magic. For years to come this era would be kown as the Draconic Era, where magic was mainly the work of Dragon-Kin and the practice of magic was done mostly in Draconic.

As time progressed the mortals have began to use more than magic to ease their existence, they learned skills even the Gods did not expect. Using fire and steel and water to create locomotives and machines that made production and mining easier. Though this inventions are marveled at, a lot are still skeptical of this new technology. This era is greatly shaped by the events of the Great War that changed the face of the continent in many aspects.

The Great War
Military actionWith the change of the Technological Era many conflicts that were brewing beneath the surface of the existing political forces came to a sudden boil and erupted into an all out war between the nations.
The war seemed endless and caused many deaths and the fall of one of the most ancient empires Eora has ever seen.
It is still unknown the exact event that set the war into motion and it is a baffling mystery to many historians of the modern era. Though relations were tense the war seemed to come out of the blue to most, many speculations are thrown around by many savants and the few Elder Elves that were alive at the time of the war and some Warforged that survived the conflict and were given freedom.Location
