-As the stories go, a great psionic experiment conducted on Kleemudor in this time resulted in the vanishing of an entire town. The people of this town were not lost, but instead ended up stranded in the southern tundras of Pthora. Isolated from Kleemudor society, these people would eventually grow into the cultural group now known as the Johtalit.

 The Shinnean Kingdom invaded the rest of the Oxian subcontinent in antiquity, exerting control over the regions that have now become Vervand and Arenti.

 [[history:cahyali:stormwingcalamity|The Stormwing Calamity]] was an ancient war fought between Cahyali's true dragons and the //Strygarii,// a primordial species of ancient and powerful bird-like creatures. Although it never touched the parts of Cahyali currently mapped, the conflict was so widespread it has made its way firmly into Cahyalian legend. Human and dwarven myths both include mention of a "great escape" from "the devastation of the god-beasts" or similar. The Stormwing Calamity is commonly accepted to be the reason why dragons are rarely seen nowadays. [[history:cahyali:stormwingcalamity|The Stormwing Calamity]] was an ancient war fought between Cahyali's true dragons and the //Strygarii,// a primordial species of ancient and powerful bird-like creatures.

 **[[lore:races:humanoids#dwarves|Dwarves]]** were the first to flee the Stormwing Calamity, sailing in and alighting in the mountains of Pthora from the east in about 6520 BD. Little is known about the homeland of the dwarves from beyond Esrior's Fold, but some Pthoran historians have termed it "Nidaior". Old dwarven myth-songs lament the loss of their homeland. **[[lore:races:humanoids#dwarves|Dwarves]]** were the first to flee the Stormwing Calamity, sailing in and alighting in the mountains of Pthora from the east in about 6520 BD.

 The foundations of Esrior's Fold were laid here. Some myths report grand battlegrounds between dragons and Strygarii in some of the exact places where major Fold abnormalities lie in the modern day. The foundations of Esrior's Fold were laid here.
