The day the orcs appeared on the shores of Nandaahr is commonly seen as day one of Nandaahrs history. It was a cold unforgiving winter morning when the orcs appeared on the coast. Nobody really knows how they ended up there. Even the orcs dont know for sure. Their take on the events is, that this was the moment their highest gods, Ogethan and Qara created their race and gifted them Nandaahr as their home until the mountaisn would fade into dust.

Demons facing the dwarfs for the first time
Military actionThe demons were sending explorer parties into the dragonfangs to scout them for ressources. That didnt fell on fertile grounds with the dwarfs who watched elves and demons for a while and came to the conclusion that these two - eventhough not bad neighbours - had no buissiness in their mountains and kicked them out. In this case that meant a lot of nasty battles inside, on top of and in front of the mountains. But in the end after the winter forced both parties into a break the dwarfs eventually won.

Elves discovering the Orcs
Military actionThe Elves first crossed the Isthmus and were suddenly facing the Orcs who were everything but amused about the small army that showed up on their doorstep. At this point the Empire of the Sky was at its peak and the orcish troops who held the Gates (back then in orcish hands) tore the elves a new one so after a few months the elves gave up on the east and returned to the heartland with nothing but corpses and broken bones.
The third Era
1351 E4 2948 E4
The Era of men. Or better, the Era where men rose to actual importance in Nandaahr. Starting as the Playthings of the Demons and Elves, they later overthrowed their allies and became their own masters again. Only to end all ther glory in a war more gruesome than anything before. Just as the saying goes
Mankind is capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest vertues.So the third Era ended in the great cataclysm and resetted the calenders for the fourth era...
