Danzar-Khâl came into existence within the core of the lifeless star Mithrallum. In the early years of the Dawn Era, a fissure in this metallic sphere, an object of the Void spanning over ten thousand miles, served as the base for a group of rebels seeking to harness the seemingly boundless energies and matter of Chaos. Bruh Kreniik, the first dragon, and his confidants lurked within this place. The nature of Mithrallum, composed entirely of a metal bearing its name, mithril, ensured that this group could not be detected while inside. Within this sanctuary, the rebels experimented with the energies drifting aimlessly through Chaos. Danzar-Khâl was one such creation. Towering at 10 feet, he is a significantly larger version of the Dulun, a dwarven sub-race modeled after him. Like many of the early works of Creation, Danzar-Khâl was purpose-built, tasked with transforming metal into weapons and armor for the impending war. He could accomplish this with a mere extension of his hand, producing cold-wrought equipment of near-perfection. Recognizing his talents, Bruh Kreniik incorporated Danzar-Khâl into the roots of the rebellion, the projects of Creation.

As Arch-Creationists, Danzar-Khâl and Bruh Kreniik created some of the first worlds beyond Piranoth's Steps. Uth Alok, the inaugural world of the Mortal Systems, was made in 485 DE by these two. In 751 DE, they forged the world Regulus.

In the year 1385 DE, now proficient in fabricating realms independently, Danzar-Khâl fashioned the domain of Moyawel, and then in 1395 DE the domain of Ilabizdum.

During the Creation War (1486 DE - 8777 DE), Danzar-Khâl frequently served as the Nawirrûs Covenant's supreme commander of ground forces. In the intervals when he was not in command, Danzar-Khâl would step away from the conflict and indulge in his preferred crafts, constructing and engineering items unrelated to warfare.

On the 1 Temporal 1501 DE, in one the Creation's War epic engagements, the Battle of Šadullu, the Covenant's Supreme Leader Bal-Kriav, and generals Silvanus and Danzar-Khâl fought against the Nine-Tongued Worm, driving the terror back to Chaos before it could annihilate a world.

On 12 Brightstar 4261 DE, a primordial known as the Master of Tides, a being perfectly adapted for unraveling Creation, was confronted by Bruh Kreniik and Danzar-Khâl. They slew this world-obliterating primordial mere moments before it could rend the world Regulus asunder.

In the Covenant's war with the Primordials, Danzar-Khâl led two groups of dwarves to a world then known only as Sphere 411. The Akthol served as his warriors, while the Tharag were his builders. Today, these people inhabit the western reaches of the Elephant Backbone. The resemblance of these first dwarves to Danzar-Khâl is no accident, for he created them during the Dawn Era. Before crafting the dwarves, he attempted to create other sentient lifeforms, such as the Galeb-Duhr, which proved crude. After consulting with Bruh Kreniik, the two devised a plan to forge an implement that would imbue their creations with Bruh Kreniik's wisdom on how to best craft sentient beings resistant to extinction. They forged Danzar-Khâl's Surveyor for this purpose, and Danzar-Khâl used this legendary artifact to create the first dwarves - the Dulun.

In the war against the primordials, Danzar-Khâl also engaged the forces of Cari'phis. At the head of Vhurghad, he constructed the magnificent Felân-Akthûl to counteract the intense cold emanating from Cari'phis's army staging grounds in the Malurn region.

In the year 158 of the God Era, Danzar-Khâl, the mighty Phalgas, and the goddess Athena vanquished the fearsome Nine-Tongued Worm.

On the 6th of War March in the year 269 of the God Era, he relinquished his abilities of Creation in exchange for divine power. Having ascended to a Higher Power, he was compelled to depart the Mortal Systems. He then traveled to the Nawenglorûs system to establish his church, initiating the propagation of his faith and the acquisition of followers.
