not a single bit of that made sense to me, apparently I need some context

In two sessions. Going up for the 6th session and 60+ hours soon. The short story is we've been playing hard and fast with D&D, ignoring the rules where they are inconvenient in favor of better story. Three central players, with another seven who rotate in and out of the game at their convenience.
We have an Eladrin Wizard who founded a magic school at the outpost, in a setting where - thanks to time traveling shenanigans - only her and those who came with her knew about magic. She taught it to a species whose culture was entirely unprepared for it and the result was a massive civil war. After getting tied up in the plans of a Liche-turned-God she's started to find religion. Started with misguidedly worshipping the snake god . After exploring the petrified body of a slain colossus (biological dungeon for the win), they found an Angel of Pelor at the heart of the corpse, guarding the God's Holy Sword. After conversing with the Angel in a landscape created from it's mind, she chooses to stay there for X amount of time studying the religion of Pelor. Now she's on her way to becoming an Angel herself.
Next up is the Chaotic Evil Dragonborn Warlord who seems to have taken Magnificent Bastardry to a whole new level never before witnessed by mere mortals. Starting as the judicial champion of the Chief Slave of the outpost, he worked his way up to Captain of the Guard and finally Military commander. On the path to his lofty position, he organized the resurrection of an ancient Kua-Toa society to attack the town and justify his promotion, secretly murdered witnesses, egged on a war with the Spider people by setting their forest on fire and using his position to influence the outposts economical situation. He is currently leading a small society aboard a floating Island-Fortress, protected by an air force of Dragon Riders. Also the Death Knight Champion of the Liche-turned-God mentioned before.
The third of the central players is an Elven Ranger. The character has actually been a driving force in most of the campaign, but still managed to slip under the radar while doing so. She started off by orchestrating a raid on Gargantuan Ant Colony in a bit to capture some larvae and breed her own Ant Mount. Three consecutive crits on her nature check inspired me to allow her to do so. Ant Mount aside, she set up a business selling Queen Ant Jelly - which was later used to fuel several technological advancements in mining and deep-sea exploration procedures. A great friend to both the Spiders of Leng and the local societies. In the last game she sacrificed herself to save a team mate, allowing herself to be used in a Star-ritual. She's come back as a Star Avatar who just spent all of existence watching the world pass by from the sky.
It started out as a one shot, but they insisted on going with it.
