 The island of Tokagegan was formerly mostly uninhabited, due to there being little arable land in the area. It was mostly bodies of water and swamps, unfit for most land-dwelling peoples. In 8305, however, a freak portal leading from Jaern opened and the better part of a **[[lore:races:lizards#semi-aquatic_lizards|Semi-Aquatic lizard]]** village came through. Tokagegan turned out to be a perfect living place for them, and they eventually became the primary inhabitants of the region and assimilated well with the rest of the Raikougan. The island of Tokagegan was formerly mostly uninhabited, due to there being little arable land in the area.

 It is unclear how the invasions started, but leading up to the turn of the seventh millennium, demonic invasions from the [[settings:planes:beneath|Beneath]] ravaged Ruefang and eventually led to the fall of the Shuibian Dynasty. This invasion was only driven away with the help of the dragons. This marked the beginning of dragon worship and veneration in the Abundant Expanse.  It is unclear how the invasions started, but leading up to the turn of the seventh millennium, demonic invasions from the [[settings:planes:beneath|Beneath]] ravaged Ruefang and eventually led to the fall of the Shuibian Dynasty.

-Infernal energies, combined with runaway leyline radiation, sank into and altered orcish populations of Ruefang. This resulted in their eventual adaptation into a new [[lore:races:supernatural#infernal_origin|demonic race,]] known as the //Kijin.//((For more information on the Kijin, please contact Noah Kauffman (@bluekid) via Discord.)) In the thousands of years since, the Kijin have faded into nothing but fairytales and legend. +Infernal energies, combined with runaway leyline radiation, sank into and altered orcish populations of Ruefang.

 Due to the sweeping colonization of Cahyali by ancient Dahabu, the Dahabi calendar is still used to this day. It uses a reckoning date of the Empire's founding. The Dahabi Empire is often said to be the first of its kind on Cahyali, a civilization at the forefront of technology and culture. It's no wonder to many why Dahabu was the one to conquer the world and hold the most powerful mortal empire ever to exist. Due to the sweeping colonization of Cahyali by ancient Dahabu, the Dahabi calendar is still used to this day.

-Rumors persist of a second civilization in the underground [[settings:cahyali:nulllabyrinth|Null Labyrinth]] with almost the same power and reach as Dahabu, but there is no consensus to its existence. If this civilization did exist, they were certainly isolationist and utterly unconcerned with outward expansion, as there is no trace of them on the surface.+Rumors persist of a [[settings:cahyali:tarra|second civilization]] in the underground [[settings:cahyali:nulllabyrinth|Null Labyrinth]] with almost the same power and reach as Dahabu, but there is no consensus to its existence.

-Little is known about how the dragons first came to be. We do know that true dragons of Cahyali are native to the landmasses which are now mapped, and spread out over time to the other parts of the world. It is said that in the days before the rise of Dahabu, dragons supported and nurtured burgeoning mortal civilization. Some go far enough to say that it was the dragons who first taught magic to mortals.+Little is known about how the [[lore:creatures:greatbeasts:dragons|dragons]] first came to be.

 During this time, lesser dragonkin also evolved on Cahyali, such as drakos and wyverns. These creatures are little more than clever animals, and are still fairly common to the modern day. During this time, lesser dragonkin also evolved on Cahyali, such as drakos and wyverns.

 **[[lore:races:avians|Avians]]** migrated into the continent sometime between 5000 and 2000 BF, arriving from the north. The name of their original homeland has been entirely lost, though upon arrival the mobile groups of Avians quickly spread out and assimilated with other extant communities. **[[lore:races:avians|Avians]]** migrated into the continent sometime between 5000 and 2000 BF, arriving from the north.
