Editing Io (section)

===Asgorath===
In the [[Forgotten Realms]] settings of 2nd and 4th edition, Io is instead known as '''Asgorath, the World Shaper''' and is only referred to as "Io" by the Dragonborn race. ''(Io and Dragonborn get practically no mention in 3rd edition Forgotten Realms)''

In this incarnation, Asgorath was a primordial entity who contributed to the creation of existence, but for inscrutable reasons was jealous of the worlds that were created. During the ''Days of Thunder'': a war between the Primordials and the Divine beings known as Gods, Asgorath was unleashed to fight against [[Annam]] and the Giant deities. Asgorath instead chose to fling a moon at the planet; the smaller fragments of rock transformed into dragon eggs, giving birth to the Dragon race, while the larger chunk  nearly destroyed the planet itself.

It was only by the intervention of [[Ao]] that the world of Abeir-Toril was saved, by splitting it into the worlds of Abeir & Toril and dividing it equally between the Primordials and the Gods.
