The thirteen planes started as a single universal seed, which when it hatched became the empty space of the Astral Sea with Etherea in its center. Etherea was the first plane and gave birth to its first being, Diastrova the First and Last. This sudden birth of entropy caused a ripple across the multiverse which caused the Astral Sea to absorb an unhatched universal seed which would lay dormant but alive at the edge of reality. It also caused Etherea to give birth twelve times to the same being, Ceacirus the Dozenborn. After Ceacirus brought some stability to Etherea, Etherea shot out a small seed which grew into the great tree Bet Balor Damnos. Within Etherea itself a great mechanism was born known as the Abhorrent Machine Irrin Max who triggered a wave of creation. Bamhurst was born and caused the first other plane to be ejected from Etherea, Limbo.
After the ejection of Limbo caused by Bamhurst, things calmed down. The other greater gods where born one by one. Until finally a new problem occurred. Etherea gave birth to destruction incarnate, Kallum. But without any release destruction threatened to be the end. The other greater gods then remembered Limbo and centered the pure destruction into a new third plane. Oblivion was ejected from Etherea and became a completely destroyed plane with nothing left in it. The universe’s own response at this was to give birth to the Dark Horse, Eviscua.
Eviscua was death and anything born after Eviscua could die. In response the essence of life itself burst from Etherea and became the living plane Neth. Now four planes, the system was out of balance and a fifth plane formed to restore balance, mirroring all other planes that were and would be. Etherea continued birthing more gods after this, who would become known as the Second Pantheon. But one of these beings, Athreos, succumbed to death. Seeing this as the problem it was, the greater gods and second pantheon came together. Their solution was to restore life back to Athreos by connecting his life to the other living gods. Meaning that Athreos could only die after all other second pantheon gods were dead. They then made Athreos responsible for sorting the dead. To this end two planes were born to store the souls of the dead while the empty husks were shot into the Astral Sea. These planes were Heaven and Inferno which in turn gave birth to Ao and the Pale Night to shape them. Ao created the first Celestials, while the Pale Night created the first Fiends.
After this the greater gods decided that Etherea was theirs and disconnected the parts of it that gave birth to new beings. These two parts were Nirvana and the Far Realm. Nirvana soon gave birth to such beings as Helm, Hoar and Mystra, while the Far Realm merged with the old universal seed which had named itself Azathoth. This merging gave birth to twisted gods like Yog-Sothoth, Shub-Niggurath and Nyarlathotep.
Soon enough beings without divinity were born, the slaads in Limbo, lesser fiends and celestials, the Nethians in Neth. The Mind Flayers of the Far Realm became the greatest of these and conquered an empire across the planes and astral sea. Four more planes were disconnected from Etherea before Etherea itself could be affected. These were Materia, Shadowfell, the Feywild and the Elemental Chaos. This gave birth to the first great civilizations of the inner planes. The Fey, the Elves, the Genies and the Giants. But others followed soon. The apex of which where the Dragons. A lot of these creatures started to carve out divinity in their own right. Then the first extinction threatened to happen.
The Great Ceratopians were the first species that threatened to go fully extinct. The last of their kind being Bronko Tikar. Athreos pitied this being and Bronko Tikar became the First Exception. Athreos would only make an exception like this seven more times. But that didn’t mean other beings didn’t find cheats around death without divninity. Acererak became the first great Lich, The great dragon Lady Ameraya found dragons to be unaffected by old age. The titans of Materia grew powerful enough to fight off gods of death and became so feared that they were sealed away. The Tarrasque was born over and over again by Neth. And eventually there even was a Tabaxi that learned how to clone themselves through time and space without touching godhood.
Long ago there was a tribe of humans from the frozen north who had made common cause with the drow that lived in the underdark beneath the ice. This tribe had the custom of choosing a leader, the leader would then discard their name and simply be known as the Frozen Lord. Centuries ago the drow betrayed their human allies and enslaved them to work the cold mines. The previous leader of these drow was Teranno Naldanor who had two daughters. The older Zikii Naldanor and the younger Sen Naldanor. The elder daughter had always expected to rule after her mother, but when her mother died, Sen moved quickly and was crowned the next matriarch. Zikii was furious when she heard. With the few supporters she had left, she freed the human slaves and stole the girl descendant of the last Frozen Lord. She raised the girl as her own and pronounced the human as the new Frozen Lord starting a cold war between Zikii and Sen.
Why do we have the letter c? For cent we can use s, for car we can use k sent and kar, fixed no more see
Well, the TL;DR for it is that the C used to be the K in roman brittain. So you had S for s sounds and C for k sounds. Then the pronounciations of words shifted and some c words became pronounced with an s sound, most famously Ceasar, which used to be Kaisar, not Seesar. So when there were words that needed to be a k-sound in the places where the c became an s sound, they needed a letter that clearly stated it had to be a k.
So why not just change the spelling? Because scholars were stubborn about changing spelling once things were written down...and they did most of the writing.

btw fun fact about the origin of the Frozen Lord's heraldry.
Nobody remembers what the old heraldry was, so Zikii asked the five year old child she was raising what her sigil should be... and the child said Flying Purple Giraffe. And Zikii was like: sure, why not.
