The history of the present world is as convoluted as our own. Exandria, or what was once known as Faerun, is a world birthed by a great Calamity existing due to the events following Campaign II: The Pillars of Eternity.
Leading to the release of Act II: The Scattered War, I want to present the known history of elven-inspired Exandria known to the maesters (or historians) of the Cobalt Soul. - further consideration to the existing tribes and guilds of this world are being written as I even birth this post.

Creation Myth
In the beginning, the Tempest walked his empty halls within what he called his Skyhaven. Here there was nothing, neither dark nor light but the Tempest in thought. Through this thought came about the multiverse and the different Planes of Existence that Aarakians have come to know, the four planes of Elements; Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. Each with their own life. Here, the Primordial reigned in peace not knowing of the Chess game played by the Tempest.
As he pondered more in his Grand Hall, he sat upon his chair and thought of a world where many could relish in his creativity. He created the stars above, the endless expanse of the universe. In thought again, The Tempest wandered his home, years of careful consideration of the multiverse he was to run. Pained with a headache the Tempest created 5 Patrons, extensions of himself to help rule the Multiverse: Asmodeus, his Right Hand, Lady Sehanine, the Lady of the Night, Torm the Sunbringer, Mystra the Miracle, and finally Lady Liiara, to remind them of Celebration. Together, the six entities went around creating, Mystra fixed the River Styx to traverse the Planes of Existence and weaved together a more tangible way to access the magic of the Tempest and called it The Network of the Sea.
Torm brought the Light and Lady Sehanine the Night, they soon fell in love though their passion was distant as their beings prevented them from being with each other.
Asmodeus and the Tempest talked endlessly, mapping out the worlds around them. During this time, they created the Skyforge and brought in the first Dwarves, Tyiire and Toyriiee. Both the Tempest and Asmodeus saw the Dwarves as a vessel of creativity, rewarding them Toril known at this time as the Empty Mound. Here they created a world like no other, taking the Weave of Mystra and allowing the Primordial access to their realms. Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water broke into these worlds and each battled for dominance over these dominions.
When Toril was created is unknown even to those who exist in Skyhaven. All that is known for those who work in the Skyforge is that it was created after Tyiire the Head Dwarf of Worlds was defeated by Toyriiee The One Below the Dwarf of Worlds in a game of chess. Imagined after the Universe at the End of the Road, Earth, Toril was created.
3 epochs spoke to the 6 Patrons and made the Skyhaven what it is in the Present of Toril.
