The oldest records of the elves contains a lot of the propaganda of the time of The Great War in which the halfling empire was destroyed by the elves and their dwarven mercenaries. None of it is correct. The elves had no reason to fear anything from the halflings despite the fact that they were was mostly evil. It was because of that fact that the elves took things into their own hands and attacked. The war went on for 22 Years and ended up destroying all three empires.

The halflings rose to power on their innate magical abilities that to this day have never been equaled. The evil of it seeped into their souls and scared the elves. The dwarves were only in it for the elven gold. This is in fact why the dwarves are underground to this day. As the war raged , city after city(on both sides) were destroyed. Very little of the ruins on Lost remain in any shape to explore but magic items abound in what remains. The gold of the era disappeared. The current thinking on this was it was given to malevolent beings to aid both sides, this is one correct facet of knowledge of the time.

Neolithic humans came to the Lost about 22000 years ago. There were very aggressive and destroyed the remaining halfling,elven and dwarven survivors. Remains of the resulting human empire are found in ruins and the numerous barbarian tribes are their survivor's.

Elves and dwarves live a very long time if they don't meet violance. They remembered their loved ones that the humans killed. In a sort of reverse of the Great War , dwarves hired elven mercenaries and mustered elven volunteers.. In a struggle lasting 10 years , most were destroyed. Remains of the humans from this time are quite common.

About 300 years ago super intelligent archaeologist, Dr Paul Vedrin, came to explore the Lost. He discovered the secret to become a Liche and was corrupted by the tome with the formula. He now holds sway on the Lost.He is extraordinarily powerful for a LIche.

Freeport was founded by pirates of 20 years ago. It is a lawless place where violence is common. Their is little law and sword and spell hold sway. They have an army of 3 barbarian tribes to protect the city from other barbarians ( they are not being civilized). The pirates don't explore the Lost, instead falling prey on the lucrative nearby shipping lanes.

The barbarians of the present day are the biggest threat to be found. All other sentient beings hire are constantly at war with them. They are tough, smart and aggressive, there is almost no talking to them. All of the inhabitants speak a primitive version of common.

The powerful Liche(DR Paul Vedrin) holds sway on about 1/4 of the Lost. He has a formidable army of skeletons, zombies, wights and a few barbarian tribes. He is the most powerful of the warlords of the Lost.
