Lore Untangled - Episode 3 - Survivors of the Dawn War
Send us a text 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.

Lore Untangled - Episode 2 - Elemental Chaos & The Dawn War
Send us a text In this episode, we explore the origins of the Elemental Chaos and the rise of the Primordials—ancient forces of raw elemental power that shaped the early multiverse. We follow the emergence of the gods from the Astral Sea, the inevitable clash that became the Dawn War, and the creation of the Abyss through Tharizdun's corruption. Key figures like Tiamat, Asmodeus, and the elemental princes are introduced, and we trace the cosmic consequences of their battles.Listeners will learn how the First World was broken and rebuilt into the planes we know today, and how the scars of the Dawn War still linger beneath the world’s surface.Whether you're a Dungeon Master looking to deepen your cosmology or a lore-lover seeking a mythic narrative, this episode lays the foundation for the divine and elemental powers that shape Dungeons & Dragons.Sources & Further ReadingThe Plane Below: Secrets of the Elemental Chaos (4th Edition)Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes (5th Edition)Manual of the Planes (4th Edition)Draconomicon (3.5e and 4e) – for lore on Tiamat and BahamutThe Book of Vile Darkness (3e) – for Tharizdun and the AbyssDemonomicon (4e) – for the origins and nature of demonsForgotten Realms Campaign Setting (3e) – for Ao and the Tablets of FateSpecial shoutout to the Forgotten Realms Wiki – https://forgottenrealms.fandom.comIntro Music by LiteSaturation from PixabayOutro Music by Christoph Scholl from Pixabay
