The Dawn War



 The war between the Primordial’s and the Gods that destroyed the fledgling Iokharic Empire.

== Primordial’s rising. ==

 Incensed at Io's creation the primordial’s rise up to destroy the world and create it anew. The Gods rise up to defend Io's creation and the Dawn war begins.

== The war. ==

 The Primordial's were individually stronger than the Gods but tended to fight alone. The God's fought in groups to bring them down before help could arrive. The God's suffered casualties and Io created the Dragon race as war engines to help him fight the Primordial's  The powers unleashed by both sides devastated Duenis and shattered the Iokharic Empire of the Dragonborn. Angered by this Io attacked  Erek-Hus an Elemental known as the King of Terror alone. Erek-Hus split Io in two and as the two halfs fell two new Gods Bahamut and Tiamat rose from the two sundered halves. They attacked and killed Erek-Hus and then fought amongst themselves until Tiamat retreated. At Io's death the dragons he created succumbed to a deep slumber. They would not wake again until the Awakening many centuries later.

== The end. ==  After much destruction and death the God's were victorious and the Primordial's beaten back into the elemental chaos. The Gods descend to create their own races. The Dragonborn have to come to terms with the loss of not only their kin and empire but of their creator too.
