Corellon was so furious at his lover's betrayal and not only was she turned into Lolth, she, her son were exiled and her daughter who volunteered in her exile. Not only were they exiled, but *ALL* elves were expunged from their original realm as Corellon closed his domain as he had major trust issues, suspecting that if his lover could do this, what would his people, his elves do to him? So thats why Elves started popping up in the world as you explained. Found your channel a while back, and been happily watching ever since 😀

The Dragons pretty much dominate the Dawn Age, despite the war with the giants. In fact the Dawn Age is also called the "Time of Dragons". It ends because the elves create the Dracorage Mythal and end the rule of the dragons thus bringing forth the next age "The First Flowering" , which is pretty much the Age of Elves where the first/second Sundering takes place, Evermeet is created, the Crown Wars also take place during that age. All that to say, yeah, the Elves end the Dawn Age :). It also explains why dragons can never again rule Faerun. Note, the Dracorage Mythal is destroyed in the Year of Rogue Dragons ... so technically a new dragon age could/should be on the horizon, but Bahamuts followers would do anything to prevent it.

Second sundering isn't during the first flowering. The second sundering doesn't happen till post spell plague and the first sundering is when Ao spilt Abeir and Toril. Your thinking of the crown wars and first and second flowerings which I often mistook to once

as a historian I have to say besides your rather entertaining than scientific methodes, the idea to talk about events rather than dates and names is pretty close to real-world history studies and lectures. If you would add more reasoning (like why did who do what to whom) it would be on an Extra Credit level.

@@royriley6282 yea and then he goes to defend it in his next comment saying “it is almost exactly what you would hear in an entry level course of an university.” That’s the point, and that’s why it’s wrong. History is made subjective when people assume reasons behind actions. Oh and he said “an university” which leads me to believe he doesn’t know what he’s talking about because it’s 1st grade English to know you use ‘a’ and ‘an’ based on the sound of the word, not the vowel.

3 clarifications; -Gnomes do not show up yet (first experience Netheral), -The dragon Age ends because the elves create a powerful magic item that drives all dragons insane, llolth has nothing to do with it, or the rest of the elves until the after the Sundering Orcs have there fist first experience in FR in this time (they sack an elven city). the orcs have several first appearances (Like the Orc gate wars, and a conflict between sword cost north and red wizards) all of these where ret-coned to make sense wit each other. I though it was known as the Colossal Kingdom because it was inhabited by " Colossal" people (called that by later races)

Most of the creator races used the handy caveman human genome in their pallet of crazytown pc races. It was but a mold for the creators to blend in with their own affinity. Humans + bird = aakoracra. Human + snake = yuan ti Lots of cults and acolytes seem to pull this type of stuff off in present day. The dragonkin fro Horde of the Dragon Queen come to mind. Maybe its a process that deities copied and passed on through doctine

Missed a lot of facts here, like how Araushnee made the Elves turn on Corellon Larethian and start their great religious lamentation for Arvandor, and Corellon not forgiving his Elven children for their betrayal. Also the dragon age doesn't end "just because the thousand year war ends and dark elves worship Lolth" but it is because Elves establish dominance over all Toril through their High Magic.
