D&D 4th Edition Lore

I have been searching high and low for this but have not been able to get a proper general lore. Here is some basic things I found out so far: 1. The primordials formed the world from the raw materials of the Elemental Chaos. 2. From the Astral Sea, the gods were fascinated with the world. Saw room for improvement made the mortal realm. Used a small essence of Astral sea created Mortals to worship them. 3. Resentful of the gods’ meddling in their work, the primordials began a war that shook the universe known only in history as 'Dawn War'. Gods Victorius. 4. As the world took shape, the primordials found some pieces too vivid and bright, and hurled them away. They found other pieces too murky and dark, and flung them away as well. These discarded bits of creation clustered and merged, and formed together in echoes of the shaping of the world. As the gods joined in the act of creation, more ripples spread out into the Feywild and the Shadowfell, bringing creatures to life there as echoes of the world’s mortals. Thus the world was born with two siblings: the bright Feywild and the dark Shadowfell. 5. In the earliest days of creation, even before the gods and primordials began their terrible war, one god was not content with sharing power—he wanted absolute control over the nascent universe.He found a shard sent by the Obyriths. The touch of the shard drove this god to madness, corrupting him so completely that he was no longer recognizable as his former self. Never the less, he carried the crystalline fragment into the depths of the universe—into the lowest reaches of the primordial vastness that would one day become the Elemental Chaos—and planted it there thus forming the Abyss. 6. The shard corrupted some primordials the demons were born. 7. Tharizdum marshaled elemental forces in his bid for domination, but the other gods overcame him, chaining him forever in a secret place known only to them. Now he is called the Chained God, or by his demented followers, the Elder Elemental Eye. His only desire is to escape his prison, and he rarely spares a thought for the realm he inadvertently created. 8. One of the Guards of Tharizdun was an Arch-Angel who was sent away from the Astral sea due to his arrogance and behaviour. Tharizdun whispered ways of power, the Angel known as Asmodeus dove to the shard and retrieved a sliver he overthrew his Lord and took his place in the Astral sea. 9. Mortals had stopped worshipping the Gods confused they discussed ways to rectify this. Asmodeus comes forward tells them a way. He asks for the sinners to be sent to him he would punish them and thus making mortals to return to worshipping. After some time the gods don't feel powerful they go to Asmodeus and find he has tranformed the old gods realm into a torturing domain, all souls are being drained for power the angels of old are now transformed into hideous beings. Devils are born. Gods question Asmodeus and he says 'Read the fine print' Asmodeus had tricked the Gods. 10. Blood war begins due to Asmodeus wanting more power. Goes on for some time no clear winner. 11. During the Dawn-War, Io’s arrogance was his downfall. While the other gods banded together to combat the primordials, Io spurned the help of other gods. He faced a terrible primordial called Erek-Hus, the King of Terror, alone. With a rough-hewn axe of adamantine, the King of Terror split Io from head to tail, cleaving the dragon-god into two equal halves, each half rose up as a new god—Bahamut from the left and Tiamat from the right. Together the two gods fought and killed the King of Terror. This is what I've found so far could some one help in finding the correct order and find lore that I have missed.

I would recommend asking this question on another forum that focuses on 4the Edition lore. These forums are for Roll20 specific information.
