 For thousands of years, the planet orbiting in [[settings:jaern|Jaern's]] place around the star Onra was not Jaern. It was instead Torandor: a vast world inhabited by today's [[lore:races:humanoids|humanoid]] races. Lizardfolk, avians, and most orcs were entirely absent on Torandor.
-It was here that worship of the [[:gods|Fourteen]] originated on the Jaernian plane. Records are poor, but it is thought that the original Torandoran civilization reached cultural and technological heights somewhat similar to what we see on Jaern today before it was wiped out. The calendar still used today counts its date from the mythical founding of a powerful ancient Torandoran civilization, Aldeberon. Little else is known about Aldeberon, though scholars have long searched.

 To Jaernians today, the most significant thing about Torandor is its death.

 Anticipating the destruction of Torandor, a great human leader known as the **Chaos Lord** assured the survival of thousands of people by evacuating them to Jaern via the Kaaren of Destruction. This vessel, constructed by the gods, was originally intended to be a weapon of mass destruction with the intention of destroying the inbound rogue planet. However, this plan was eventually aborted and changed into an attempt to evacuate as many Torandorans as possible to Jaern. It is unknown why the plan was changed.
-Some say the Chaos Lord saw that the Kaaren would not be capable of destroying Jaern or stopping its collision course, while others say that [[gods:isis|Isis]], [[gods:neptune|Neptune]], and [[gods:osiris|Osiris]] intervened. They pointed out that life existed on Jaern, in the form of [[lore:races:lizards|lizardfolk]] frozen beneath the ice and [[lore:races:onivero|Onivero]] in deathlike psychic sleep.

-The Kaaren of Destruction was rapidly refashioned into a massive starship designed for a single trip. Only a minority of Torandor's population made it onto the Kaaren for evacuation. Passage onto the vessel was managed mostly by priests of the Fourteen, and there was a significant amount of preferential treatment - passage was not cheap, either.

 Notable among those left behind were people from the humble land of Alborn, who paid for passage onto the Kaaren with all their worldly possessions. They were betrayed, though, and left to die. Jaern’s proximity to Torandor triggered severe storms and earthquakes. The quakes started massive fires in the cities, and as the flames spread, it became apparent that the end of their home world was at hand. In despair, they called upon the gods of Torandor to hear their plea for rescue. In vain they called, for at that very time, many of the deities were busy rescuing themselves from the impending destruction of their world.
