Before the Coming of Men
Originally, Erinthos was a land inhabited by giants who lived in grand cities of stone at the bases of mountains. The giantish clans were originally content with each other, living in peace for many years, that was until the migration of elves from the West Lands. With the elves came the sub-race of orcs went with them, a nomadic people who wreaked havoc across the western giantish realms. The elves built grand cities along the coast of the Triangle Sea including Aûkmâkald and Ûsamadûl setting up the grand Akardûst Empire. The elves lived along the coasts of western Erinthos, while the orcs lived in the plains and grasslands and the giants kept to themselves further inland.

Convach's Landing
In 8000 BND, Convach, King of Elnawed, crossed the straights of Alden and set foot on Erinthos. He and his vast army ransacked the western reaches of the continent, almost leading the elves of Erinthos to extinction and drove the orcs and giants into the mountains. After a 10 year campaign the elven-kingdom of Akardûst was destroyed and Elnawed became the most powerful country in Indarus. From then onwards, Erinthos was another continent for men.
