A lot of others came from other planes of existence (Elves from Arvandor, for example). It hints that the Elemental Planes already existed and doesn't say whether or not the Feywild and Shadowfell were created by Bahamut and Tiamat. And although that it doesn't explicitly say it, the Outer Planes definitely predate the First World, as the "invading gods" had to come from somewhere. And the book states that this is just the dragons' interpretation of the events. It probably didn't actually happen like the myth says. The book is just showing that from the dragons' point of view, they're victims justified in their hatred of other creatures (and gods other than their own) and Tiamat isn't actually a villain from their perspective. The book doesn't say whether or not they're right, it just shows their viewpoint.</blockquote>
