(10+1)
His dwarves continue to use copper tools. 24 dwarves are born.
Reverion improves the strength of adrenaline in his dwarves. (6)
His dwarves are now incredibly fast in short bursts, during which they can withstand the loss of limbs and hardly react to it. It essentially makes them more stronger in almost every way for about five minutes, after which they will fall into a due to the stress upon their hearts. The effect of this gland is not consciously controllable.
His people then launch a series of raids against the elves. (1) The elves at the moment of assault happen to be gathered in one area for a meeting. 113 elves, forewarned about 30 seconds ahead, turn when 63 dwarves plunge out of the woods, swinging fierce looking bronze implements of war. The elves charge back as battle commences, hardened wood combating forged metal.
(20*1.05*1.025*1.3*1.2)-(54*1.05*1.05 < 0)
(70*1.05*1.05)-(21*1.05*1.025*0.9 = 57)
Oh, and what a slaughter it is. The dwarves manage to land not. A single. Hit.
The attempted raid turns into a riot, 51 dwarves lying dead on the ground. The remaining dwarves, when they put down their weapons and the fighting ceases, are allowed to take the 6 wounded home.
Due to no one getting injured, the elves are not going to press the issue.
As the Reverionish industry was geared towards producing weapons for the short lived raid, no technological advances were made. It will, however, be easier in the future. 15 new dwarves are born.
After the fighting ends, Oberon gives his elves the boon of beauty. (5)
The elves are now so incredibly beautiful that anyone without previous mental preparation of fortifications will become enthralled to the first elf they see.
He then instructs his elves to practice stealth. (5)

Grogar, the last, appears on the edge of a river North of the forest, and East of the mountain. 159 humans follow him out of the void.
He teaches his people to read and write. (5)
The attempt is a huge success, and everyone quickly becomes literate. This speeds up technological advancement.
He then commands his people to build a great city. (5)
Despite it going off without a hitch, the city is more of a large town. This makes people happier.
(11)
His people continue to use stone tools. 51 new people are born.
Grogar is the first to 200 population!Typhus attempts to summon shoggoths for his people. (2)

Typhus tries to make his people immune to insanity, but is too tired from trying to summon Lovecraftian horrors.
(2+4)

(17)
His people continue to use copper tools, for farming and building. 61 new people are born.
Grendabar is the third person to reach 200 pops!Bozhur increases the size, strength, and toughness of his people. (5)
However, being so large means they eat more food, slowing down the growth rate somewhat.
The boon is very successful, allowing his people to pull trees out of the ground singlehanded. They are twice the size of a normal person, with twice the strength and toughness.
Bozhur begins a eugenics program. (5)
The program is very effective for its level of sophistication, and the next generation of people are stronger, healthier, smarter, and more virile than their predecessors.
(14)
His people continue to use stone tools. 57 new people are born, as generation 1. 30 generation 0 humands die of old age.
Antangonten tells his people to not experiment with agriculture. (4)
Their experiments are not successfull. They do not have more food to go round, and their population does not increase faster. Totally not.
(9+1)
His people do not continue to use copper tools. 56 new people are not born.
Antangonten if the fourth person to reach 200 pops!Gerbil attempts to bestow the boon of rage control, (2) but it fails to do anything.
Rather upset at all the recent failures, he orders his people to take all the earth and stone from the edges of his kingdom and pile them in the middle. (6)
They dig extremely fast, creating a small mountain to live in. However, they are now surroiunded by a massive, shallow lake.

The attempt is a complete failure, but not much time is wasted.
(13)
His people continue to use copper tools. 30 new dwarves are born.
