    Dwarves colonize the Northern Crest
    Founding

    The earliest evidence of mountain colonization by the dwarves date back to this year. While it is not known exactly where the dwarves came from, they started colonizing the western side of the Northern Crest and, thanks to their innate affinity with working stone and metals, they quickly created the first settlements between the valleys and within the mountains themselves. To the later part of this year date the first buildings of Whitefist.

    Scoragh's Descent
    Disaster / Destruction

    Scoragh's descent is the name of an extremely sudden desertification event that ravaged the eastern continent midland and destroyed the Daardai Empire, burying most of its cities in the sand together with their draconic inhabitants.   The outcome of this event was the complete destruction of most of the Daardai empire, especially the more inland part where most dragonborn were located. After this event, the once warm but fertile land where the draconic empire extended turned to sand, becoming the desert now knows as Scoraght’s Garden.
