History of Celestaria

This page describes in depth the history of Celestaria.Starting with the worlds creation, up to present day 1149 A.C.

Creation War
In the beginning, there was chaos. This displeased the all-mother Celest. So she (against her brother Zehir's wishes)  molded the chaos into the world as we know it. But the world was empty so she tasked her children to each create a humanoid race that would populate her world along with the many animals she had created. Each child created a race in their own image.

Avandra - Humans

Moradin - Dwarfs

Correllon - Elfs

Sehanine - Halflings

Bahamut & Tiamat - Dragonborn

Grummsh - Orc

Ioun - Gnome

Lolth - Drow

Torog - Giants

Sharizdun - None

Bane - Goblins

Over the years new races appeared created by Celest herself in some cases, hybrids, or sprining to life from another plane. Life on Celestaria was good. All of the races lived in peace, but then Zehir "The Dark One", Angry that Celest would dare bring order to the blissful chaos, unleashed his children and their creations upon Celestaria. A battle ensued which would come to be known as the Creation War. Celest and Zehir battled for nearly 100 years, until at last, in a desperate attempt to save her world. Celest focused all her power on Zehir, collided with him causing them to explode into millions of shards, The explosion threatened to sink Celestaria entirely but the remaining gods worked to save what little of the land they could. And though they succeeded, the gods would never again all see eye to eye. Those that survived the end of the Creation War began to rebuild looking to their creators for salvation and guidance. These Gods went off and became masters of their own spheres, feuding and battling amongst themselves. The Largest of the Shards which were thrown out by the explosion became gods themselves and ruled over what was left of celestaria with their fellow immortals. The rest of these shards became the  Shardminds.
