The Fomorians tricked by the hags and cursed to be monstrous declare war on the Eladrin.

The high elf Arinna the first of the Sundered Synasty, builds the star forge and funds the Kingdom of the Blazing Sun, her people will be known as the Sun Elves (or Anor Elves in elvish). She also forges the crown of the forge, used to control the star forge, it is said that the forge will stay lit only if a true descendent of Arinna wears the crown.

Nimloth searches for the Mirrormere flower, a legendary flower that blossoms on a sacred tree, it is said that its petals can be used to brew an elixir of immortality thus breaking the curse of the summer Queen and making the elves immortal again. He finds the tree in the great forest of Ishtar but he discovers that the tree is home to a dryad, the life of the dryad is linked to the tree, and taking the petals of its flowers will kill the plant.   He decides not to take the flowers, angering the other high elves who exiled him, having nowhere to go he lived with the dryad in the forest, hunting and scavenging for food, the dryad taught him magic capable of shaping trees without hurting them, he reshapes the dryad tree to use as a house.   They fall in love and have two fraternal twins, a daughter called Peng (bow), and a son Magol (sword), after some time other elves join their community wanting a simpler life far from the strict high-elven hierarchy. Nimloth and his children teach them the way of the forest, hunting, scavaging, and how to shape trees. After some time a small settlement is built in the forest called Mirrormere Post (the place of rest of the Mirrormere).   The noble of the high elves getting old and fearing death attacks the settlement, and although possessing much greater numbers fail, for the wood elves had mastered the terrain and could lay ambushes and skirmishes, and it is said that the forest itself protected the Mirrormere tree.

From another universe where the war between the gods and the titan is never-ending, the gods create the orcs to be soldiers in the war, their strength, aptitude for war, and rapid reproduction make them the perfect grunts. Some orcs disillusioned by the gods allied themselves with the Titans, and some tried to escape the war, using the soul of a dead god they constructed a portal to another universe.   The portal opens on the material plane, and the orcs come through the portal and establish tribes, their culture of war elevates one of their chieftains, Grumpsh, to godhood, this is the first mortal to become a god.

After the destruction of the dwarven capital, many dwarves refugees moved to the other seven cities, having no clan in these places many struggled to integrate into dwarven society, which led to societal struggles between the displaced clans and the native ones. A new ideological movement started among the dwarves a movement that rejected the importance of clan and tradition in favor of a meritocratic, utilitarian view. The societal clashing led to a small civil war, that quickly ended in the defeat and exile of the refugee clans. The dwarven clans homeless for a second time moved to the Underdark and founded new cities and a society based on their new idea, a clanless society that does not care for tradition or the ancestors, it quickly evolved into concepts of stoicism and asceticism. These new dwarves became known as the duergar (grey-skinned), due to how they physically adapted to live in the Underdark.

The economically prosperous Cities on the eastern coast of Ishar decided to form a league aimed at facilitating commerce in the region, the league offered freedom of movement between the cities, no tariffs between their territories, and a military defensive pact in case of external invasions. It also formally made slavery illegal in the region, though most of the city-states already had local anti-slavery laws.

The newly established Empire of the White Flame is under pressure from its dwarven allies and the Church of the White Flame to remove the dragons from power in the kingdom of Aurum, racial tension devolved into convincing a young green dragon to try to assassinate both the Emperor and the human Queen of Aurum, the plot is uncovered before the dragon could act and then paranoia spreads trough the human citizen. During this period dragons were expelled from the kingdom and those who refused were executed, the purges continued for almost a millennium when humans feared anyone could be a dragon hiding amongst them, until the last dragon in the empire was killed.

The Empie of the White Flame decided to put an end to the orchish raids on their villages and merchants and declared war on the Tribes, the grey orcs decided to ally themself with the Empire seeing the war as unwinnable but the other tribes fought back, at the beginning of this period large army of orcs fought battles against Imperial legions, then once the orc population declined, some sought refuge in the Free Cities and the rest continued a guerrilla warfare until they were all exterminated.

This period of The Kingdom of the Blazing Sun is characterized by murder, betrayal, and minor wars. After the death of Queen Galana II, the succession was complicated, the Sundered Dynasty had many members but none of them were children of the departed Queen, so powerful nobles played kingmaker constantly putting new monarchs on the throne only for them to be assassinated or dying of suspicious circumstances, it all came to an end after only one member of the Sundered Dynasty remained, coronated Arinna XII on the ninth of nono 1972 AI, the queen ruled for less than a month before her tragic death by the hand of her stepson Edmund of House Gallahc.

After the last elf of the Sundered dynasty Queen Arinna XII married Robert of House Gallahc. Edmund of House Gallahc, the only son of the King regent, feared that a new royal child would not only inherit the kingdom but also his father's estate, and knowing that should the King and Queend tragically die he would become king since there would be no living members of the Sundered Dynasty, orchestrated the assassination of both his father and his stepmother. After his coronation, he discovered that Arinna had a bastard son, named Drake, with a common human blacksmith, by the name of Barak, by reading her diary and so sent people to assassinate the last member of the Sundered Dynasty. When the assassins arrived at Barak's house Barak, a former pirate, defended himself and after successfully killing the would-be murderers decided to leave town and join his old pirate crew, bringing with him the two-year-old Drake and cutting his ears to hide his elven descent. The King furious at the failure of his assassin ordered his his guards to murder all the male half-elven children with red hair in the kingdom. After the massacre was over he happily resumed to rule under the assumption that any pretender to the throne was dealt with. King Edmund's rule is known as the Age of Darkness, since while no member of the Sundered Dynasty wore the crown the Star Forge was lightless.

Having learned of his true ancestry from his dying father the pirate Drake Half Ears or Drake of the Sundered Dynasty as he is now remembered, started to unite pirates and commoners under his banner, promising to end the age of darkness and reform the strict society of the Kingdom of the Blazing sun once he would be crown king. During this period King Edmund put an ever-increasing price on Drake's head, and Drake was forced to fight many times, some nobles even managed to capture him briefly but he escaped by seducing the noble's daughter, Seliene of the Silverblade Dynasty, who later became Drake0s queen. After having amassed a large enough force he stormed the capital and fought the forces of King Edmund of House Gallahc, receiving help from both commoners in the city, who opened the city gates, and some nobles who feared being on the losing side of the war. After Drake took the capital King Edmund Demanded a duel, he cheated by poisoning Drake during the customary pre-duel handshake with a small needle hidden between his fingers, Edmund still lost, dying by being stabbed in the back of the skull by Drake's rapier, while gloating after Drake pretended do die from the poison. The Kingdom now rightfully back under a monarch of the Sundered Dynasty the forge sparked alight again during Drake's coronation. Drake married Seliene and started to make the reforms he promised his supporters, with ample help from the noble queen, since Drake had no idea how to run the country.

This is the conflict in which Argo got its de jure independence from the Empire of the White Flame, the war ended after the emperor died of an illness and Iskandar, who wanted to limit further casualties, challenged The Emperor's son, the prince-elector of the east, to a duel to decide the faith of the war, the Merovingian king refused but is son prince Baldwin accepted. The duel was fierce but ended swiftly after Iskandar was stabbed on the left side of his chest by Baldwin's sword, the king of Argo sized the opportunity that rendered his opponent immobile to decapitate the young prince in a single strike. After the duel, a peace council was called. The Empire of the White Flame records have classified this war as a victory because even if Argo managed to gain its independence it had to move its border with the southern principality by a whole one meter in favor of the Empire, this is essential to keep the dogma that the imperial cult is so fond of:" The The Empire of the White Flame, has never and never will lose a war".

The greatest civil war in the history of the Empire of the White Flame, led by the powerful mage Konrad Sandhurst, this war is the reason unsanctioned arcane magic is now illegal in the empire.
