The Great Secrets

I've never written these down anyway, so in order that they don't get forgotten, here are the three great secrets at the heart of my home setting of Terafa:

• The Dragonborn origin story doesn't fit with the creation myths of the other races, and indeed with the known age of the world. The reason for this is that they're not from the past of the world, but rather from the far future - the devastation their seers foresaw was actually the end of the world, and their "Return to the Egg" saw their elite using flawed technology that actually cast them far back in time.
• The origin of the split between the elves and the drow was actually due to the latter choosing to share the secrets of magic with humans. Everything since then is propaganda. Unfortunately, so pervasive has become the propaganda, and so much bitterness has grown up that the drow are now enemies of all surface-dwellers.
• Choriam, god of rulership, is actually a usurper. The true god of rulership is trapped in the Fastness of the Divine, with all knowledge of him erased by the death of Memory, the lost deity. This is also why the pantheon in unbalanced, and why the dominant mythology all feels 'off'.

But, of course, it's all subject to change if I ever get back to it!
