Editing Iron Kingdoms (section)

===Creation and ancient history===

(There's a lot of fluff here, but we're gonna leave it for the Deities section and/or skip ahead to more interesting and relevant bits).

The world began in some way with a fight between Menoth and the Devourer Wurm. Menoth made mankind, the Wurm made forests and monsters, and Dhunia made trolls, goblins, and ogres. Then the Gods of the Divine Court improved on these base models and made elves, and the Great Fathers escaped their slavery and made dwarves. Menoth gave the gifts of civilisation to humans, but this basically consisted of giving them walls, fire, farming, and writing, and then saying "I gotta split, figure out what to do with these on your own", so humans progressed slowly. The Elven and Dwarven civilisations got built up much more quickly with help from their respective gods, and thus established the Empire of Lyoss in the far east of Immoren and the nation of Rhul in the north. A Wurm-worshipping alliance of wild tribes known as the Molgur sprung up in resistance to the forces of the first human cities, as did a civilisation of possible Infernal-worshippers called Morrdh. A separate human civilisation called Khardorvic grew in the north.

The elves brought their gods into the world, thus royally fucking up the eastern half of the continent. There was a big war between the Menite civilisations in the south and the Molgur.
