	===Tharzidun===		===Tharzidun===
-	Tharzidun entered the Far Realm and came back tainted and corrupting everything he touched. His presence in the natural world during the Dawn War corrupted elementals (demons) and immortals (devils) as well as ~~a race of elves (drow)~~ and orcs ~~(Toruk-Rul)~~. It also caused the spirits of the world to rise up to protect itself (creating the Primal power source). The gods and primordials ceased their war, bound Tharzidun with the Lords of the Seven Chains, and closed off the world, trapping the demons and devils, and protecting themselves from the still present corrupting influence of the mad god. He still has the ability to influence and corrupt, leading to the rise of chaos cults.	+	Tharzidun entered the Far Realm and came back tainted and corrupting everything he touched.

-	Ghul opened Tharzidun's gate to the Far Realm and brought forth the Utterdark and the Squirming Horde to conquer the world. The taint of the Far Realm from the Utterdark brought about the Psionic power source (those with such talent are called the Harrowed and are spurned). After Ghul was defeated, the Urthon Aeder were formed by Harrowed who masked themselves and used their abilities to fight ~~abberant~~ and chaotic influences.	+	Ghul opened Tharzidun's gate to the Far Realm and brought forth the Utterdark and the Squirming Horde to conquer the world. The taint of the Far Realm from the Utterdark brought about the Psionic power source (those with such talent are called the Harrowed and are spurned). After Ghul was defeated, the Urthon Aeder were formed by Harrowed who masked themselves and used their abilities to fight aberrant and chaotic influences. He also used his influence to change two tribes of orcs: the Toruk-Rul ("closing fist", large and bestial) and the Sorn-Ulth ("bleeding breath", stealthy and sorcerous).
