History
Following the defeat of Tiamat circa 0 AC, the Rozarrian nations determined to maintain their alliance and unite the continent under a single banner, politically and theologically. The first countries to pledge allegiance to the newly founded Asharian Federation were the dwarven nation of Domhelm, the human nation of Redhills, and the elven nation of Veywyn. The Federation instated Bahamut as the head of the pantheon, as he was the god Saint Asharia ascribed to; then two gods were selected from the Hanonir to represent the humans, two from the Seldarine to represent the elves, and two from the Mordinsamman to represent the dwarves. Due to the widespread nature of Common, alongside pressure from the humans, the chosen gods are referred to as their Hanonir equivalents (Vergadain as Tymora, Valkauna as Kelemvor, Sehanine Moonbow as Selûne, and Kirith Sotheril as Mystra).
