[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 7431443, member: 6790260"] Very roughly, my understanding was: - Universe is created - Dawn War begins when Deities and Primordials can't agree on the fate of said universe - Living Gate is destroyed, which produces (or permits the arrival of) the Shard of Evil - (possibly a bit later) The Lattice of Heaven is destroyed, permanently ruining the gods' plan for their realm and severely hampering their war effort (along with numerous down-the-line consequences for mortal souls) - Abyss is created when Tharizdun throws the Shard into the "bottom" of the Elemental Chaos - First primordial is slain (implicitly: after multiple gods have already died) - Tharizdun is imprisoned and Asmodeus is his jailer - The Shard of Evil's influence brings Demons into the conflict - Io is slain by Erek-Hus, who is then slain by the newly-born Bahamut and Tiamat, the only time they have ever worked perfectly in concert - The gods finally band together and start helping each other, unlike the primordials, who never really present a united front - Aberrations are created by (some of) the gods, essentially their "answer" to demons - He-who-Was is slain by Asmodeus, who steals his divine spark; this transforms his realm into the Nine Hells (it used to be much nicer, apparently) - Several more gods die, but their sacrifices usually result in significant victories - (possibly earlier) Merger of various divine domains happens, somehow strengthening them against assault (but weakening them in other ways) - The primordials, still fighting solo, eventually lose the war of attrition, leading to the gods' Pyrrhic victory [/QUOTE]
