Dawn Nations

The Dawn Nations is the collective name for the nations of Artio that existed before the Epoch Wars. Little is known of these early mortal nations, with most information on them coming from oral history and folk tales.

Reign
The Dawn Nations existed before the Yuan-Ti Empire, which reigned for at least a thousand years before the rise of Thorea (1 RT). The amount of time the Dawn Nations existed for is unknown, but estimated to be in the region of tens of thousands of years.

Fall
The Dawn Nations were destroyed in the Epoch Wars. It is not known if they participated or were merely collateral damage.

Power
The Dawn Nations are believed to have had a level of arcane power beyond anything currently wielded on Artio. The few ruins that have survived are built from unknown materials and means. Oral history indicates that the gods walked freely among the Dawn Nations, with some gods ruling nations of their own.

Known Dawn Nations
Camora - Camora was an elven kingdom that controlled much of Daerean. Nan Haerel legends claim they are descended, via Haerel, from Camorian nobility.

Chetis Dynasty - The Chestis Dynasty was a nation of Tyr worshipping humans. It was founded by the mortal Torm, who ruled it for hundreds of years before his apotheosis. All knowledge of the Chetis Dynasty comes from the fragmented copies of the Exalted Deeds of Torm on Artio.

Kingdom of the Raven Queen - The Kingdom of the Raven Queen was one of the Dawn Nations, and may have been the first elven kingdom. Its name was lost when it was destroyed by Correlon and Lolth.
