Changes

|The Aurumari and Nephratim Empires were once the greatest power of Eliol, their kingdoms, while based in Vendes and the Nephratim Spine respectively, spanned thousands of miles, thanks to the creation of the conterminous demiplane [[Shanala, The Infinite Road (3.5e Environment)|Shanala]]. Through the Road, they could travel to the farthest corners of the world. In each instance of contact with other cultures, the giants conquered and enslaved the populace (With a few exceptions. For example, lizardfolk were deemed animals, and disregarded). A few races came willingly: like the centaurs, who revered the Aurumari to the extent of suicidal fanaticism that exists today in the customs of the Yuirefolk of Rhaeddia.

These were known as the Uil Ertyol, the children of the giant empires.

The largest of the races, the giants ruled the old world before it shattered. The Aurumari and Nephratim Empires fell about three centuries before the Shattering, allowing races they had kept as slaves (like humans, raptorans and goblins) to spread and eventually control certain areas. Those giants displaced by the destruction of their civilization roamed the world, eventually settling in small tight-knit communities. With the Shattering (the ''Dam'e'ne Yhluiol'', in Ayrtol), shard ecosystems simply couldn't support these communities' needs and most died out.
