Lore Untangled - Episode 3 - Survivors of the Dawn War
In the aftermath of the Dawn War, only a handful of gods remained — scarred, transformed, but unbroken. In this episode, we tell their stories.
Discover how Moradin forged more than weapons in the heart of the storm, how Corellon’s tears birthed the elves, and how Lolth’s betrayal split the heavens. Walk with Pelor as he carries the light through endless night, stand beside Bahamut and Tiamat as they clash in divine sibling rivalry, and peer into the fractured mind of Ioun, the keeper of forbidden knowledge. Then meet Erathis, the Lawbearer, who builds not with stone, but with structure and purpose.
Finally, we honor the fallen; gods who gave everything and gods who lost themselves. Welcome back to Lore Untangled.
