In the Forgotten Realms, the war went on for a while until [[Ao]] got tired of the Gods and Primordials acting like children, and simply split the world in two. Toril for the gods, Abeir for the primordials. The war thus ended in a tie. The Primordials lost in the long run, though, since without Godborn races like Giants, Elves and Dwarves, the dragon empires of Abeir (Dragons as a species predate the Dawn War, and thus exist on both worlds) until they were powerful enough to wipe the floor with the Primordials.

	Of course, the Primordials were far from innocent themselves; the first major blow in the Dawn War was fought over what the [[dwarf]] race now remembers as the Age of Chains, when [[giant]]s and titans descended upon Moradin's creation of Stoneroot, the mightiest mountain in the world, and besieged it, seeking to enslave the dwarves and ultimately provoking retaliation from [[Moradin]] when he became aware of his creations strife.		Of course, the Primordials were far from innocent themselves; the first major blow in the Dawn War was fought over what the [[dwarf]] race now remembers as the Age of Chains, when [[giant]]s and titans descended upon Moradin's creation of Stoneroot, the mightiest mountain in the world, and besieged it, seeking to enslave the dwarves and ultimately provoking retaliation from [[Moradin]] when he became aware of his creations strife.

	In the end, the Dawn War was inevitable; the mortal world was too stable for beings born of endless chaos, and they sought to unmake all that was in order to start again, a continuation of the same cycle of creation, destruction and recreation that dominates the Elemental Chaos. Existant rivalries merely added fuel to the flame, and when the Primordials sought to unmake the World, the Gods declared war. It was a ~~biter~~ conflict that spanned all of creation, seeding great destruction; the Lattice of Heaven was torn asunder and the Rune of Stone Eternal was stolen by Primordial agents, forever after scattering the Gods across the Astral Sea and breaking the planned mechanics for exalting their devoted worshippers. Abominations, unholy living weapons, were birthed on both sides of the war in order to find some super-weapon that could shatter the ranks of their enemies - ironically, [[Carceri]], the Astral Dominion where the Gods bred their abominations, would ultimately be repurposed as a prison to hold them forever. Death's Reach, at the core of the Shadowfell, was sealed shut by Primordials, in hopes of trapping the souls of the dead to consume them for power. Whole worlds perished in the conflict; the Astral Dominion known as the Forgotten Sanctuary is the only remaining continent of one of these dead worlds, whilst [[Dark Sun\|Athas]] was doomed to its ultimate fate by becoming a world from which the Primordials successfully drove away the Gods, opening it up to the taint of defiling magic.

	Initially, the war did not go well for the Gods; only when the god Achra managed to convince a small group of gods to unite under his leadership and slew Tabrach-Ti, the Queen of Bronze, did the Gods find a unifying leader who could help them fight more efficiently. Whilst some remained aloof, it was to their cost - [[Gorellik]] was killed and his [[gnolls]] stolen by [[Yeenoghu]], whilst [[Io]], who fought alone throughout the Dawn War, ultimately perished at the hands of Erek-Hus, the King of Terror. So integral to victory did Achra's leadership become that he became known by a new name, a title bestowed upon him by the fearful Primordials: [[Bane]].
