According to most creation myths, Thaedin was plane created by the immortals to host all manner of creation. Humanity and its variants asserted their dominance over the plane, spurning the demi-human creatures. Some even believe that they don't exist, or in the case of the Elves and Dwarves live in the shadow of humanity. The continents and lands of Thaedin are filled with empires, tribes, merchant republics, and even underground civilizations.
