World: Kel'Dalar

Kel'Dalar is the name of the world that most events of Dungeon Select take place in. Named after the father of the gods Kel'Dalar. The world exists on the Material Plane, although it does have connections to other realms like The Feywild and The Elemental Planes.

History
There have been 3 different eras in the recorded history of Kel'Dalar. The progression into a different era is done only when something so significant happens, the entire world is affected. The progression from the 1st Era to the 2nd Era was an event called: The Invasion. The progression from the 2nd to the 3rd Era was caused by an event called: The Sundering.

The birth of Kel'Dalar
It is believed that Kel'Dalar got shaped by Kel'Dalar himself, as a place for his children to live and grow up to become the gods that they currently are. Eventually when most gods had reached maturity, they confined in Kel'Dalar to create more life, not gods like themselves, but mortal beings to look after the world and watch it grow while worshipping the gods. And that is how it is believed all the known creatures currently roam the world.

The Invasion
With these creations, Kel'Dalar tapped into the powers of the other planes and with this, created gateways scattered around the world. This allowed creatures from this realm to travel to other realms and vice versa. With this came the Dragons. Winged creatures from the Elemental planes. They invaded this new world and live in it to this day. Their invasion was brutal and destroyed many cities and settlements, after the invasion, the dragons still roam this world, terrorising the population as they please, and so the population decided the 1st Era ended, and the 2nd Era began.

The Sundering
In the year 599 of the second era the sundering happened. That marked the start of the 3rd era, the world changed forever. During this the creation of The Burning Scar happened when a giant fiery rockslide from the sky struck down on Kel’Dalar. Leaving nothing but a scarred wasteland. Legend has it when this sundering appeared, the impact of the fiery rockslide got infused with magic from the realm, creating 25 magical artifacts.
