Ash Grey World Past (b)

The betrayal caused the high elves many losses, but they still held their ground and protected their mainland, which had the branch of the world tree. But after that battle, they shunned and prosecuted dark elves. Freya also got implicated, and she had to live in shame, for she was the member of the race that had betrayed everyone.

After the battle, the lizardmen split into two factions too, one went rogue, and they did everything terrible. The other split up into tribes that protected the mainland from the outside. The wild ones acted like rouges, thieves, butchers, and mercenaries for hire who were ready to help anyone, including the spider queen, as long as they got to make a wad of cash.

With their help, the spider queen set her bases in the Sutherland, the territory to the south of the mainland. There, she cultivated her subordinates, raised her newborns, and prepared an army of various creatures, and attacked the mainland.
