Maenedhel Shattering

Set

 In 9450 GE, a recently ascended Set used (others would say abused) the artifact Moradin's Surveyor to create a race beholden to him. This race was followed by two more, which collectively became known as the Khazarkar. Set made these people in secret, and then sequestered them in the deeps of Maenedhel. This secrecy was necessary because he was using a stolen artifact to invoke the powers of creation while acting as a god seeking followers. This was a clear violation of the growing protocols being established by the higher powers - at least to the law abiding ones. He knew that he was violating the The Khazakars were helped advance in civilization by Furrouth educators. The Furrouth were under the watchful eye of Set's minions and these in turn were overseen by another group to make sure that nobody messed things up for the Khazarkars. If Moradin, Io or some other higher power learned too soon of his people then there was a good chance that they would work together to undo what he had done, but if his people were around long enough they would probably show some compassion and perhaps even see value in having another sentient human race on Bal-Kriav. Later, after word got out of the Maenedhel Shattering, Corellon quipped:

    Another variation of the human stock? Is this gonna be fair to the elves, other races of Bal-Kriav?

    - Corellon, to Set, "Maenedhel Trial"

In 255 LC, three centuries after his artifact was stolen, Moradin tracked down Set and learned of his doings. As punishment, he reversed Set's environmental changes to Maenedhel, leaving an area supercharged with life energy. This resulted in a region where things grow faster, reaching adult hood in a matter of days, but dying a few days later. Before this came about, Moradin and Set told the people of the region what was to happen and they must leave and eke out am existence on their own without divine help.
