Official Dunjohn Master Lore
"Terroch is what remains from the clash between giants and dragons in the Dawning Era. Millenia ago both sides fought a brutal war that brought them to the edge of extinction. The origins of the Draco-Titan wars have been lost to time, and interpretations of the conflict have been mired or forgotten. What is known is that the giant hierarchy, or Ordniing, fell into civil war. The Gods had left the giants to watch over the world and their creations, but even these divine appointed guardians succumbed to the flaws of their creators.""Years after the first battles of the Ordniing Civil War the chromatic dragons appeared and unleashed death from the sky.""The war raged for centuries, with the young races of Terroch choosing to stand with the sundered Ordniing or the power and fury of the dragons.""Those who pledged themselves to the draconic overlords performed rites in an attempt to replicate their power. The mixing of dragon blood and their primal spellcasting ushered in new magic through these draconic bloodlines.""As the war waged on the Elven races were sent to Terroch from the Feywild to fight against the dragons but some became corrupted through the cunning and power of the tyrant lizards. But as tTerroch was about to fall under the unrivalled might of the chromatics hope was delivered on new wings.""The arrival of the metallic dragons proved the turning point of the Draco-Titan wars. Bolstered with righteous fury the metallics and the giants struck hard and drove back the chromatics. But unknown to the other races, Feywild mages acting in secret unleashed the Dragonslumber. The glamour affected the minds of the chromatics, bewildering their senses and weakening their power. Unable to continue their campaign to plunder and enslave the chromatics went into hiding. Eventually the metallics also succumbed to the influence of the Dragonslumber and went into isolation.""The giants, ravaged by civil war and the dragon attacks, also retreated into their hidden realms feeling ashamed for falling from their sacred task. With their divine-appointed shepherds gone the peoples of Terroch turned their prayers to the old gods, forgotten magis, and darker entities. The racces caught in the crossfire of the Draco-Titan War emerged from the shadow of destruction to rebuild the shattereed world. But not all peoples welcomed their newfound freedom.""Some continue to worship the chromatics, others put their faith in the metallic dragons. Some believe that the dragons were just Gods who had taken draconic form.""The Draco-Titan Wars are ancient history to many of the peoples of Terroch, unwilling to accept or believe that the scars of the past cut deep into their society even now."
