Alright, so basically, the universe was created by the Nameless, who wandered the void until it found a pocket of spacetime and used it to create the universe. Then it created the gods of the four elements. The Rathe, council of twelve beings that preside over the Plane of Earth and created planets to orbit the stars, the eyes of the Nameless. Then it created Fennin Ro, the ruler of the Plane of Fire, who wreathed the stars in flame to grant light and warmth to the planets. Then it created the Triumvirate of Water, a council of three gods which preside over the Plane of Water. Tarew Marr, god of water, E'ci, maiden of ice, and Povar, lord of steam. Then it created Xegony, queen of air, to rule the Plane of Air and create the final ingredient for life.

Then the Gods of Power created the Gods of Aspect. These included many gods, such as Mithaniel and Erollisi Marr, gods of valor and love respectively, Cazic-Thule, god of fear, Innoruuk, god of hate, and the Tribunal, the council of justice. These would soon be the major players of our world.

One day, Veeshan, goddess of Dragons, visited the world soon to be known as Norrath. She liked this world, and used her immense claws to make three large scars in the continent known as Velious. She deposited her kin here as well.

The other gods noticed Veeshan's work and, being often petty and jealous, they too went to leave their mark on Norrath. Brell Serilis, lord of the caves, was the very first, and began to create simple unintelligent races in the vast caverns beneath Norrath. As other gods approached Norrath, they in turn were approached by Brell. It would be Tunare, goddess of nature, and Prexus, the lord of oceans, who would ally with him, though the god of war Rallos Zek did listen in. They all made a pact to create a race to keep the children of Veeshan in check.

Tunare went first, and on the largest continent of Norrath, known as Tunaria, she created the fair and wise High Elves, being of limitless beauty. Next went Prexus, who created in the ocean floor a hearty and joyful race known as the Kedge. And finally, Brell claimed the caverns and created the stout and hardy Dwarven race. Rallos Zek, not wanting to let them have this world all to themselves, created the giants, fierce and territorial warriors.

But then, all this activity attracted attention of an unsavory nature. Innoruuk, god of Hate and ruler of the plane thereof, was furious that he had not been invited. So he went to Norrath and kidnapped the very first High Elven king and queen from the fair city of Takish-Hiz. He took them back to his realm, where  he slowly tore them apart, physically and mentally, over the course of three hundred years. He then gathered the quivering remnants of these beings of light and rebuilt them into his own dark sadistic image, a twisted mockery of  Tunare's noble children. He deposited them in a particular cave in Norrath, leading to the name Teir'Dal which in Elvish means Abyssal Elves.
