The Days of Thunder: This is the time of the fabled Creator
Races, when many gods came to the consciousness of mortals,
and many races still hid in caves. No mention can be found of
elves, dwarves, and other races in this time. Still, their absence
on ancient cave paintings is hardly sufficient evidence to say that
they did not exist in the Realms.

than 15,000 years ago. The great elven civilizations of Faerûn
include Aryvandaar, Illefarn, Ilythiir, Keltormir, Miyeritar, and
Shantel Othreier. With the elves' success against the orcs and
dragons and giants, the other races thrive in safety and begin the
slow climb on civilization.

(Present Day: Forest of Tethyr which spanned all of Tethyr, Amn,
Erlkazar, and Calimshan) by moon and green elves of Thearnytarr
and elsewhere, seeking peace and simple lives away from the
strife of the other elven realms.
The independent sylvan elf realms of Thearnytaar, Eiellûr, and
Syòrpiir open discussions of unifying the elves of the Satyrwood
(Present Day: Thornwood/Chondalwood).

The War of Three Leaves: The unification of the Satyrwood is
thwarted by dark elven Ilythiiri spies and assassins, killing their
leaders and framing opposing heirs, driving the three realms to a
multifront war. Ilythiir's influence is not discovered for centuries.
(circa) Elves migrate from Thearnytaar, Eiellûr, and Syòrpiir to
the Inner Sea over the next seven millenia.
(circa) Numerous elves abandon the surface realms of Eiellûr,
and Syòrpiir during the War of Three Leaves to settle in the
Selmal Basin of the Inner Sea. This begins the elven migrations
into the Sea of Fallen Stars, which continue for seven millennia.
The elvish Vyshaan clan rises to power in Aryvandaar under
Coronal Ivósaar Vyshann.

Aryvandaar's rulers begin attempts to diplomatically and
peacefully annex Miyeritar into their realm and under their
control.
(circa) Tribal barbarian clans of humans roam Keltormir, hiding
and hunting in the great forests and avoiding the greater races of
elves, giants, and dragons.
The Second Epoch (Time of the Elves) of Seros (the Inner Sea).
The Seconf Epoch officially begins with the building of the
undersea capital of Aryselmalyr, and ends with forty years of war
between the sea elves and other undersea races. It is also during
this Epoch that the first land- dwellers began exploration of the
waters (wizards of Netheril), the initial migrations of shalarin into
the Inner Sea, and the trapping of the sahuagin behind the
Sharksbane Wall.
Miyeritar becomes the center of elven Art and High Magic on
Faerûn.
Skirmishing and trade interference starts between Aryvandaar
andMiyeritar.
The Crown Wars: The Crown Wars of the Elves are fought during
this period, pitting nearly four generations of elf against elf. The
two greatest events of the Crown Wars that still have impact on
the Realms are the Dark Disaster and the Descent of the Drow.
The Dark Disaster utterly destroyed the forest realm of Miyeritar,
leaving the blasted plains that are now the High Moors. Perhaps
due to the savagery of the Crown Wars or other factors long lost
to time, the Dark Elves became corrupt during this era, broke
away from their brethren, and after much warfare and cruelty
they descended beneath the planet's surface to become the Deep
Elves, the drow.
The Crown Wars begin with the rise of the Vyshaantar Empire of
Aryvandaar. After centuries of fruitless diplomacy, the impatient,
grasping rulers of Aryvandaar attack Miyeritar and begins putting
political pressure on Shantel Othreier to join them or suffer the
same fate.
Miyeritar is militarily occupied and annexed by Aryvandaar,
though a number of clans and strongholds resist and continue to
fight. Many elves of Illefarn, despite its officially neutral stance,
provide secret safehavens for Miyeritari refugees.
(circa) The dragon's war against the giants of Keltormir leads to
the First Tethrift; a great burning of southern Shantel Othreier
that separated the soon-to-be-called the Wyrmwood from the
greater body of the forest. Tethir, kin of Keltormir and the first
recorded elven dragonslayer, single- handedly slays two ancient
red wyrms of the Ridge and saves many elves. A portion of
Keltormir's woods are named for him.
Tethir's stand earned the elves the respect of the dragons, who
had previously dismissed them as ignorant, two-footed cattle.
Over time, humanity slowly builds in the clearings created by the
dragon fires.
The Second Crown War flares up in answer to the aggressions of
Aryvandaar. Ilythiir rises up and viciously strikes out at any who
support the gold elves of the north. Its nearest neighbor of
Orishaar, as a major trade partner with Aryvandaar, falls swiftly in
a brutal surprise attack.

The Ilythiiri destroy Syòrpiir by fire, separating them from their
allied neighbors and burning their homes to the ground.
-11500
Thearnytaar and Eiellûr band together and declare war on Ilythiir,
decrying their use of fire and wanton destruction far more than
the power plays of the northern elves. They fight a holding action,
preventing the Ilythiiri from advancing north.
-11450
The Sable Wars: Thearnytaar and Eiellûr, with minimal allies from
Keltormir and Shantel Orthreier, invade Ilythiir, intent on
destroying or reforming the dark elves before more realms fall.
More than half their forces are decimated by the corrupt magics
of the dark elves.
-11400
Fall of Eiellûr as the Ilythiiri once again use fire to destroy their
realm around them and isolate them from aid. They also were
helped by traitor green elves, who thought their appeasement
actions could help restore peace.
The start of the Crown Wars (and the Sable Wars and the Fall of
Eiellûr) sees a sudden influx of elves entering the Inner Sea,
forcing the elves out into the sea and away from the coastal
waters. This ignites the first major conflicts with merfolk and
sahuagin.
-11300
End of the First Crown War: Miyeritar conquered by Aryvandaar.
-11200
Thearnytaar falls to the savage and now-unrepentant dark elves,
who use enslaved monsters and undead to occupy the thorn-andbramble
choked woods. Ilythiir now directly skirmishes with the
major realm of Keltormir along its eastern and southern expanses.
With another major migration into the Sea of Fallen Stars after
the fall of Thearnytaar, the sea elves expand militarily beyond the
Selmal Basin and establish the undersea kingdoms and regions of
Coranthys, Tor Meraliir, Ullythan Reef, and Ryeniir.
-11003
Rise of the Aryselmalyr Empire in the Sea of Fallen Stars.
Coryselmal, the grandest of the sea elf cities of Selmalyr (an elven
kingdom of the Selmal Basin), becomes the capital of the
Aryselmalyr Empire over all the sea elf kingdoms in the Inner Sea.
-11000
(circa) Dwarves from the great stronghold of Bhaerynden
establish the first holds of Deep Shanatar in the southern
Underdark (Present Day: Alimir Mountains, Lake of Steam).

The Third Crown War erupts as accords finally fail between
Shantel Othreier and Aryvandaar.
-10700
Battle of the Gods' Theatre: The Gods' Theater (Present Day: The
Tunlands) on eastern Shantal Othreier is the site of one of the
-10600
-10500
-10450
-10300
-10270

largest and costliest of all the Crown Wars' battles. Nearly 70,000
elves die at the hands of elven and orcish enemies, as an orc
horde 100,000 strong falls upon the already-embattled elves.
Aryvandaar wins the day, and occupies the northern half of
Shantel Othreier.
Shantel Othreier is conquered by the Vyshaantar Empire of
Aryvandaar after the mysterious death of Coronal Ynloeth.
Guerilla fighting and rebel mages arise in parts of Miyeritar and
the newly conquered territories.
The Dark Disaster: Miyeritar is engulfed in killing storms, which
reduce this entire forest and realm into barren wastelands in
three months. While no proof could ever be found, many believe
the High Mages of Aryvandaar inflicted the Dark Disaster on
Miyeritar.
Shock over the Dark Disaster established an uneasy four decades
of peace, as nearly every elf of Faerûn shrank back in awe and
horror from what havoc the Crown Wars wrought.
(circa) The Fourth Crown War: Ilythiir's seething counter-attack
to avenge Miyeritar sees their open use of the corrupt powers of
Ghaunadar and other dark, evil gods for the first time.
The Keltormir elves, opposed on both sides by the Vyshaan of
Aryvandaar and the dark elf clan Hune of Ilythiir, strategically
withdraw from eastern Keltormir, holding their lines at Highland's
Edge.
The Stone and Claw Campaigns: The withdrawal of Keltormir's
forces to close and defend its own borders pitted the forces of
Aryvandaar and Ilythiir against each other. They soon closed
ranks and fought incessantly for two centuries. Battles raged
across the giant-infested mountains and wemic-claimed plains
north of Keltormir.
In opposition to the corrupt dark elves of Ilythiir and their
continued destruction of the forested elven homelands by fire (an
elven enemy of long-standing), over 1,000 priests and High
Mages in neutral Illefarn and other free areas spend decades in
fervent prayer for salvation by Corellon Larethian and the
Seldarine gods.
Through enslaved dragons and other powers, the dark elves of
Ilythiir engulf all of Shantal Othreier in flames, destroying over
70% of its trees over the course of 50 years.

whether the corrupt Ilythiiri or others, into the drow. Whether by
magic or by the weaknesses that banish them from the sunlit
lans, all drow retreat within two month's passing into the
Underdark.
Elves are summoned by the Seldarine to the site that becomes
Elven Court one month after the Descent of the Drow, to settle
differences and restore peace among the elves.
Aryvandaar's covert persecution of High Mages and priests
begins, as they attempt to destroy or control any who might
somehow force their descent as they did the drow. While not
destroyed utterly, Illefarn and its colony in the Llewyrrwood is
annexed by Arvynandaar as its nobility of priests and High Mages
died under the persecution of the increasingly-crazed Coronal
Giilvas Vyshaan. Many elves of both lands flee to the remnants of
Shantel Othreier.
Sea-elven garrison towers are built among the Sharksteeth
Mountains under the Inner Sea, with the help of Vodos the Great
Builder.
Construction begins on the Sharksbane Wall (uniting the existing
Tower Garrisons) by clergy of Deep Sashelas, Trishina, and Eadro.
Start of the First Serôs War. The burgeoning Inner Sea empire of
sea elves allies with the merfolk against the sahaugin of eastern
Serôs.
End of the First Serôs War. This war destroys the major sahaugin
kingdom in "Sekolah's Trench" (the Trench of Lopok). Wars and
skirmishes continue across the centuries to slow or stop the
continuing construction of the Sharksbane Wall.
The Vyshantaar Empire's forces occupy all elven realms (save
Keltormir) from the High Forest of Aryvandaar to the sweltering
southern forests of Ilythiir. They begin the colonization and
settlement of Evermeet.
A large force of Llewyrr elves escapes the oppressive mainland
and resettle in isolation and safety among the mountains of the
Moonshae Islands. Their new land becomes Synnoria, after the
elfqueen who led the Llewyr to this island sanctuary.
(circa) Rise of the first drow civilizations in the Underdark
beneath southern Faerûn. Their constant harassment of the
Vyshantaar forces over the next five centuries help prevent their
annexing Keltormir or any other lands.
The drow city of Guallidurth is founded.
The Fifth Crown War: The First Proclamation of Elven Court leads
to the revolt of the nobles of Aryvandaar and the last Crown War
begins. The Elven Court, the Seldarine priesthoods, and the longhidden
High Mages restore pockets of resistance and freedom
across the entire Vyshantaar Empire, fragmenting the armies and
noblesto limit their coordination.
(circa) The illithids dwelling in Oryndoll's outlying holdings clash
with the Shanatar dwarves in a protracted conflict known to the
dwarves as the Mindstalker Wars and to the mind flayers as the
War of Cloven Thoughts.
The Fifth Crown War ends with the utter defeat of the Vyshaan
and the dissolution of Aryvandaar. Much of the High Forest is
abandoned for an age, leaving the forest open so the gods might
restore its peace.
The Wandering Years of elven colonization begin. Many elves
begin migrating back to Elven Court in its eastern forest. Illefarn
and Keltormir are the sole remaining civilizations to emerge intact
from the Crown Wars. The end of the Crown Wars brings the last
of the great elven migrations into the Inner Sea.
Drow overwhelm the dwarves of Bhaerynden and take their fifthcity
for their own.
-9000 to -3859
The Rise of Civilization/The Founding Time: This era signals the
rise of all the humanoid civilizations, as the many dragons and
giants were long overthrown and the elven wars no longer
loomed over everyone as a threat. The elven realms of Evereska
and Evermeet grow by colonization along with other realms, from
the human Unther or Coramshan to the dwarven realms of High
Shanatar or Oghrann.

Age of Proud Peoples
The 135-mile-long Sharksbane Wall, built to keep the sahuagin
out of the waters of the Inner Sea, is completed in this year.
The five Tunnels of Iratis are completed by the end of this year.
An elven tale, "Inferno," tells of a great drought lasting two
summers in this year. After an attack by a flight of red dragons on
the center of the great elven forest of Keltormir, the dragon fire
sparked a forest fire that raged out of control. This fire
extinguished four entire clans of elves, eleven giant settlements,
at least four green dragons, and thousands of miles of
woodlands. The fires clear all the wooded area between the two
great rivers (Present Day: the rivers Sulduskoon and Ith).
Founding of Rystall Wood and its First Rysar begins with its first
crowned Coronal.
(circa) Dwarves are believed to live in great numbers in the
eastern mountains of present-day Semphar.
Evereska is founded in secret by surviving clans of the former
Shantel Othreier, Miyeritar, Orishaar, and Eiellûr as an elven
safehaven in the woods east of Aryvandaar.
(circa) Dwarves migrate north from the Great Rift and enter the
cavernousrealms beneath the Sword Coast South.
Keltormir's Fall: Due to fire-sundered and otherwise ravaged
homelands, Keltormir dissolves into three separate forests: The
Wyrmwood, Darthiir Wood (Present Day: Forest of Mir), and the
Forest of Tethir.
End of the First Rysar of Rystall Wood. Year of Founding for
Jhyrennstar. The Coronal is crowned and the First Rysar starts.
Founding of Siluvanede in the northwestern reaches of the High

Start of the Second Serôs War. The sea-elven empire uses
locathah forces to rally the enemies' enslaved locathah against
them, as well as merfolk and crabmen.
End of the Second Serôs War. The war destroys the Kuo-Toan
Consortiums. All their caravan cities along the underwater Plains
of Duna collapse, and their people are put to the slaughter,
rendering the kua-toans nearly extinct in the Inner Sea up til the
present day.
Founding of Uvaeren and its First Rysar begins with the crowning
of its first Coronal.
Yrlaancel, the city of peace, is built within Rystall Wood.
The dwarven realm of Deep Shanatar is at its greatest expanse

Flametongue. The dwarves of Belsimer build the Halls of the
Hunting Axe, the Hall of Four Ghosts, Hammer Hall, the building

Midwinter Night. Within days, Elven Court is in ruins and Sarphil is
occupied by the drow and duergar. The Slaughter claims the lives
of many clan leaders of Elven Court and both the Coronals of
Rystall Wood and Jhyrennstar.
In the aftermath of the Dark Slaughter, the archer-guard
Shevarash, in an anger-tinged prayer to Corellon, vows to
become the Seldarine's hand against the drow to extract revenge
for the loss of his family. The Black Archer never smiles again, as
he sought to kill Lolth and all her followers.
The Eighth Rysar of Rystall Wood (the child wizardess Enajharas)
and the Sixth Rysar of Jhyrennstar (the prophet of Labelas, the
aged Oacenth) begin with somber coronations and the call-toarms

(circa) Rise of the dwarven realm of Ammarindar.
Shevarash the Black Archer dies, but undergoes Apotheosis to
become the Night Hunter and Arrow Bringer. This green elf
demigod of the Seldarine is still a hunter and vengeful destroyer
of drow, but now hunts Lolth and Vhaeraun directly (though he
no longer considers Eilistraee and her worshipers to be among his
prey).
The Coronal Oacenth of Jhyrennstar falls ill; the Ruling Trials last
from Midsummer to Harvestide; the threeelfblades are forged.

Jhyrennstar, and Elven Court, all of which are now the elven
nation of Cormanthyr.

The new merfolk community, under the auspices of the kindly
Coronal Vaeqiis, is the kingdom of Thalvan, led by King Darmox.

many forays against the town of Zenith. Eventually, many come
to believe that Gr'Zhad is an alias for a shape-changed Ioulaum,
who was demonstrating the need that Netheril's ground-based

chariot), the Calimshan Empire attacks the restored beholder
nations of the Lake of Steam. The beholder-mage Qyraaptir the

and ends in -1080DR with the beholder's defeat.
[Netheril] Trothas Helgaras takes control of Dagger's Point.
[Old Empires] The Battle of Raramura's Wrath: During a

Plains of Purple Dust.
[Old Empires] Mulhorand invades the weakened Caliphate of

sent the yugoloths into the Elven Woods merely to test what
magics they had to array against Netheril.
After three months of cat-and-mouse games and a climactic battle
within the streets of Cormanthyr, the elves subdue the Nycaloths.
Coronal Miirphys, the High Magi, and a number of priests use
High Magic to imprison the trio, who had become known
asKhov'Anilessa (the "Trio Nefarious").
The nomadic Angulutiun clans of the Great Glacier are founded.

a fixture in the sultan's court, and his unofficial court wizard.
The Villaflames: Fire destroys much of Calimport's waterfront
before spreading westward into the pasha's villas.
(circa) After the Villaflames, the Drakhon dynasty takes control

best suit their political allies and their own motivations. The
massive stone docks and defenses that grace Armada Ward for
centuries to come replace the dock areas destroyed.
Syl-Pasha Kamal el Drakhon commisions the building ofel
Qysanallojal (the Imperial Navy), and this allows Calimshan to
begin controlling the coastal lands and waters of the Shining Sea.

The Battle of Samesaj Gate: The eastern garrison of Akkabel
(present-day: Ithal Pass) is the scene of a great victory for
Calimshan, as the besieged forces of Akkabel gain reinforcements
from Calimport via a magicalgate. They break the seige and inflict
great losses on the beholders. The gate remains intact after the
battle, but only its caster (the vizar Ali el Samesaj) knows that it
is keyedto the full moon's light more than other magic. This great
victory over the beholder forces sees Samesajraised to the title of
Grand Vizier at the right hand of Syl-Pasha Ruj el Drakhon.
The road from Zazesspur east to Akkabbel is finally completed.
[Old Empires] Demons take over the Vanishing Tower after a
summoning goes awry.
(circa) [Netheril] The magic of spelljamming is discovered by
the Netherese. Netheril's main spelljammers are from the enclave
of Yeoman's Loft. The space marines of Netheril quickly acquire a
reputation akin to that of the illithid race, when they begin
vivisectioning anything they run across. These acts isolate the
Netherese from the spelljamming community.
(circa) [Old Empires] After the conflicts in the Yuirwood to the
north end, the village of Eldanth's Hold continues to grow as
many veterans of the elven wars settle in the region, establishing
lucrative logging businesses. Also drawn to the settlement are
adventurers still looking to plunder the ancient tombs and ruins of
the woods, enterprising merchants seeking contacts with the
Mulhorandi province of Thesk, and aspiring warlords looking to

be great again.
[Planes] Thayd creates a portal to the world of Orcs
End of the wars between Calimshan and the beholder nations of
the Alimir Peninsula with the victory at Mintar. The Pasha's

influence (beholder rulers or beholder cult-controlled cities) on
the Arnaden surface lands (around the Lake of Steam) over the
next twelve decades.
[Old Empires] The raiding clans of the Hordelands, a continual
threat to the Semphar province, are crushed at the Howling Gap
by a Mulhorandi army led by Kharun Chephren. It is many years

again.
[Old Empires] Opening of the Orcgate in southwestern Thay. An

overrun many northern Unther/Mulhorand settlements, slaying
thousands.
[Old Empires] The town of Eldanth's Hold repels the attacking
humanoids for a time, aided by the orcs' inability to blockade the
Hold by sea, but its defenders are eventually overcome by sheer
numbers; the orcs swarm the city walls by climbing over the
bodies of hundreds of their dead and rampage through the

streets, killing everyone within. Much of the Hold burns in the
pillaging that follows, and for a time the ruins become the
stronghold of Iyannakul "Grimfang," an orcish chieftan of
monstrous size.
Untheric attempts to land a fleet of warships in Eldanth's Hold are
hampered by the wreckage of the Eldanthan fleet, lying halfsubmerged
in the shallows where they burned under orcish
arrows. The empire turns its forces eastward instead, joining the
armies of Mulhorand attacking the orcs swarming the Priador.

northern territories for a time, withdrawing across the Alambar.
The Orcgate is destroyed
In the absence of the great armies, the orcish Warchieftan
Iyannakul carves his own empire, based in the Hold (re-named
"Trauulgarth," or "The Great City" by the orcs), from which he
wars with the elves of the Yuirwood and scattered bands of
surviving humans. Iyannakul eventually falls beneath the blades
of a younger, stronger orc, and a series of intercine powerstruggles
effectively prevents the orcs of Trauulgarth from
overrunning the entire region.
[Old Empires] Beginning of a Dark Age in Mulhorand; the
pursuit of magic, knowledge, and the arts falls off as the populace
of the empire deals with famine, plague, bandits, and bands of

Laothkund) are finally defeated and driven from their warrens by
the Tchandar, one of the southern tribes used as mercinaries by
Unther and Mulhorand in the Orcgate War. Instead of migrating
north with the other clans, the Tchandari spread along the North
Coast, reclaiming the region from the orcs and bandits.

the principal proponent of Netheril becoming a spelljamming
power. His contemporaries largely ignore him, but he becomes

as too costly and expensive; this is due, in part, to constant
harrying within Realmspace by the Imperial Elven Navy.
[Netheril] The Hazardous Climb Volcano ceases being active and
becomes a popular mountaineering spot for explorers and
Rengarth barbarians.
(circa) The war between factions of the drow and the dwarves

members of each race from Faerûn. These fragments become the
ancestors of the dwarves and the Ancient Ones of Maztica.
[Old Empires] The Nars and the Raumathari coalesce into two
distinct tribes. The Raumathari, led by the aged Rauthar, migrate
east across Lake Ashane. The Nars, following the lead of their

("World-Forest" in elven: present-day Rawlinswood/Lethyr Forest)
until they reach the foot of the Great Glacier.
Intermittant plagues over the next century ravage the populations

army. The fighting lasts for an entire month, until the end of the

after the Nars reclaim the region).
The Nar civil war and the Ashtanath Uprisings end. The Narfellian
legions, led by the generals Verenthar, Uldorlynn, and Druuthil,
crush the rebels and pacify the tribes of the Plains. After the war,
the three seize power and install themselves as the Triarchy,
ending the rule of the Tribual.

them. Caratacus is taken to Narfell.
[Old Empires] In Narfell, Caratacus comes to the attention of
the Emperor. Due to his courtesy and bearing, Caratacus and his

Durothils, far beneath the petrified roots of its original villa.

abandon their normal colors and allegiances to form the Pamasi
order, dedicated to a harassing war against the undersea empire
of Aryselmalyr and its increasingly draconian tactics against

II and raise awareness of the problems among the common folk,
not just the wizardry orders.
[Old Empires] Tlabrinthyl, greatest of the Raumathari
battlemages, falls into a month-long trance. When he emerges,

life.

wildgate opens again and more shalarin emigrate to Serôs (the
Inner Sea). Initially, many of the new shalarin come to Es'krin,
though some move farther east and look for a home of their own.
Start of the Fifth Serôs War. Aryselmalyr's paranoid concerns
about the second arrival of shalarin bring them to mobilize troops
around Es'krin and the northern Hmur Plateau. Objections from
other allied or neutral states are ignored or responded to with
force, bringing war to Serôs again.
The Kraken Gambit. Coronal Vaeqiis II desperatedly allies with
two kraken to shatter the Four Arcana of Humbar, the peaceful
markoth magocracy. The few survivors of this offensive dive into
deeper waters, away from Aryselmalyr's persecution.
End of the Fifth Serôs War. With the deaths of Vaeqiis and her
two kraken allies (whom many suspect controlled her for quite
some time, despite Vaeqiis' beliefs), the Fifth War ends. The
many casualties are the Arcana of Humbar and the shalarin
kingdom of Es'krin. Aryselmalyr's new ruler (approves by the four
Grand Dukars as well as the sea elven nobility) is the Coronal

Tulan el Akada's 40 most loyal aranea remain in Calimport and
take up residence in hidden byways beneath the city and among
caverns in the upper regions of the Underdark (former scouting

it is really a political move to depower Calishite nobles amassing

The Chultian city of Mezro is sacked.
A company of paladins from the Vilhon Reach in service to the
Morninglord overthrows the Night King of Westgate. Following the
vampire's destruction, the group's commander, Dawnknight Gen
Soleilon, is crowned king of Westgate in the undead monarch's
stead. The Radiant King rules wisely for many years, rebuilding
Westgate's fortunes and establishing the Soleilon dynasty. The
paladin-king's most notable accomplishment is the erection of the
city's first stone walls and the construction of an extensive sewer
system.
Unbeknownst to the general populace, Westgate's deepest
catacombs remain home to at least a dozen vampires created by
their former monarch. The undead legacies of Orlak war amongst
themselves for nearly a year before a new Night King is chosen to
rule Westgate's underworld. From this day forward, theArgraal of
Orlak and theFangs of the Night King are held by the preeminent
vampire "descended" from the original Night King. Any vampire
that slays the Night King assumes the bloody chalice, the dagger
hilt with twin poniard blades, and the title in turn. On those rare
occasions when the Night King is not slain by a rival vampire, all
of Orlak's existing "descendants" war amongst themselves for the
title until a single candidate reigns supreme (a feat most
commonly achieved by killing all potential rivals and then creating
a new group of servitor vampires).

interests seeking access to the natural riches of the northern

Hold after the largest of the settling Mordulkin clans, quickly
comes under the thumb of the Untheric government. The heavy
taxes and trade tariffs of the Untheri serve to stifle trade, and
many settlers move west to the looser town of Delthuntle, leaving
the port little more than a sleepy fishing village.

the land as all available men are marshalled to fight the dragon.
Zarathusintra is finally laid low in a titanic battle with Antaeamun,

mercenaries, led by Great Lord Ashtukzu of Unther, deposes King
Ryndarth II. The Untheric noble reveals that his predecessor was

of the latter. Best known for initiating the tradition of Masquerade
Balls in Westgate, the doppleganger monarch is known

thrown into dispute as the stepson and illegitimate half- brother
of Ashtukzu II battle for the crown of Westgate. After three
months of civil war, both men are slain on the very same night,
mere hours after the arrival of a trade envoy from Unther, Great
Lord Hurnmul. Fearing that Hurnmul seeks once again to impose
Gilgeam's will on the city, Westgate's senior nobles blame
Gilgeam's agents for the king's assassination and for fomenting
the chaos that ensued. After a week of battles in the streets
between the trade envoy's "bodyguards" and the nobles' private
militias, Great Lord Hurnmul and his troops are driven from the

Plague racks the civilized Realms (Empires of the Sands, Vilhon).

little as 10 years.

plague spread by sailors from the Vilhon Reach, including King
Kergaard, who dies without an heir. Hygaarth Croam, an itinerant
priest of Ilmater, is instrumental in organizing the city's
priesthoods to combat the epidemic. By the first frost, the plague
has run its course and Westgate's surviving populace demands
that the humble Hygaarth assume the mantle of kingship, thus
establishing the Croam dynasty. Seeing the duties of rulership as
another trial to be borne in the name of the god of suffering,
Hygaarth rules ably for two decades until his death in the Year of
the Mournful Harp.
Qysar Shoon I of the Shoon Imperium dies and is succeeded by
his third son, Qysar Shoon II.

Moander the Darkbringer hurls his forces and the "creeping evil"
against the elven city of Tsornyl, blighting much of the

follower and victim alike, into corrupt monsters, including
deepspawn and shambling mounds. While the evil could not be
destroyed, High Magic severed the creeping evil from Moander
and imprisoned the corruption at Tsornyl (soon to be called the
Darkwatch). This weakened the Darkbringer's presence in Toril,
though it cost the lives of thirty-two elves, including two High
Mages, to sever and bind the power.

With the death of el Aktorral this year, all governmental control of
Calimshan and the Imperium moves to Shoonach until the fall of
the Imperium. Calimport becomes merely the largest port, and its
northern quarters become more and more deserted. During the
next centuries, the walls around the port wards rise higher than
ever to defend against intruders as more rogues take residence in
the nearly empty upper city. Calimport Below also becomes larger
and more populous during the Imperium, as neglect sees the
collapse of many buildings and the rise in montrous populations
down below is a direct result of fewer garrisons in the Old City (as
upper Calimport becomes known for 300 years).

King Dalious Croam, after two short years on the throne of
Westgate, sets sail for the eastern reaches of the Sea of Fallen
Stars on an extended trade mission. The heirless king appoints a
member of the city's nobility as Croamarkh, a title that means
"Voice of Croam," to govern in his stead during his planned
lengthy absence.
The Errant King, as King Dalious comes to be known, never
returns to Westgate, although the nobility maintains the fiction
that Westgate's absent monarch continues to wander the Realms
long after he most certainly would have died of old age. For over
a century, under the aegis of the absent Croam Dynasty,
Westgate is governed by a series of Croamarkhs selected from
the ranks of the nobility.

The elves of Cormanthyr complete a two-year-long seige and
running battle to destroy the sole surviving temple of Moander in
the northern forest (at the site of modern Yulash). The elves raze
the temple after slaying all of Moander's priests. The Coronal and
sixteen of Cormanthyr's High Mages cast the binding High Magic

nonborn child.
From this time foward, Moander remains a lurking evil trapped
beneath the ruins of his final temple.

of the Great Dragon (for some 60 years the mist dragon slays
adventurers. After that, no trace of it or its hoard can be found).

that follows, the bloodflower is harvested so thoroughly that it
disappears from Faerûn.

Mt. Ugruth, a volcano near the city of Hlondeth, erupts,
blackening the skies for months.
Under the cover of the eruption, Chondath invades and conquers
Hlondeth, toppling the ruling Gestin family.
The eruption of Mount Ugruth indirectly leads to the fall of the
Croam dynasty in Westgate and the end of the rule of the
Croamarkhs. The volcano blackens the skies above Hlondeth with
ash for months, leading the various churches of the city-state to
conclude that the gods are displeased. The fall of House Gestin in
nearby Chondath leads to the abrogation of a treaty between the
city-state of Hlondeth and the pirates of the Inner Sea that grants
the latter group safe harbor. Before the arrival of winter, a vast
fleet of pirates descends on Westgate, determined to seize it as
their new home and replace their base in Hlondeth.
The arrival of the pirates in Westgate leads in short order to the
death of the reigning Croamarkh and much of the city's nobility.
Thus began the reign of the Pirate Kings in Westgate, a period in
which no less than 77 pirate lords rule the city in rapid
succession. Some of the pirate lords reign no more than a few
Page 50 de 123

hours, and the longest-serving pirate king lasts only a little more

craft outside of Halruua since the fall of Netheril.
262 / Year of Pages Perilous
While numerous members of many elven clans quit Myth Drannor
rather than share it with the N'Tel'Quess, only minor families and
the five major Houses of Bharaclaiev, Hyshaanth, Rhaevaern,
Starym, and Tellynnan abandon the city for other purely elven
settlements in Cormanthyr and elsewhere (though a limited
number of each clan remain in the city). Only the Starym were a
senior clan, and in respect of that, their lands were left to be
vacant for 300 years; if not claimed by the clan again, the manors
and holdings would return to the Coronal.
263 / Year of the Worn Pages
264 / Year of the Vanishing Cat
265 / Year of the Masterful Plan

wood's edge.
266 / Year of the Black Buck
Starting in early spring, a number of murders in the eastern
quarter of Myth Drannor turn many immigrants against each
other. The eight victims (all humans) died of various poisons (to
which all elves are immune). By the year's end, armathors
apprehend a bigoted servant elf of House Ammath, who
confesses to the crimes. (Secretly, the servant spied for House
Symbeam, political enemies of the Ammath, and this gambit paid
off well in social and political damage to their rivals, though the
Coronal never found the family guilty of any wrongdoing).
[Old Empires] The Yuirwar: Due to continuing skirmishes
between foresters and the elves of the Yuirwood, Unther sends in
an army to tame the woods. The Yuir city of Oth Chaladar is

elven) are exiled from Myth Drannor and Cormanthyr after their
court-martials reveal that they subjected their non-elven soldiers
to barbarous treatment while under their commands, whether in

King Duar of Cormyr defeats an orcish army near the King's
Forest.
Mulsantir Illistine, a Chondathan mercenary lord distantly related
to the royal family of Chondath, overthrows the last of the Pirate
Kings of Westgate. Mulsantir's expedition is backed by a
consortium of merchants in the city of Chauncelgaunt (later
Selgaunt) seeking to improve prospects for trade with lands to
the south and west.
Mulsantir besieges the city during the winter months, and wizards
in his employ freeze Westgate's harbor solid with ice. When
spring arrives and harbor finally unfreezes, the pirates, greatly
reduced in number, flee the centuries-old port, and Mulsantir
claims the throne of Westgate. As king, the newly crowned
monarch restores Westgate's role as the preeminent port of the
western Inner Sea. He does not accede to the commands of the
merchants of Chauncelgaunt, but he does grant them very
favorable trading terms.
One unintended consequence of Mulsantir's successful siege is
that the surviving pirates need a new port to call home. Within a
matter of months, King Duar of Cormyr loses the city of Suzail to
Magrath the Minotaur, the most prominent of the surviving pirate
lords.

whilst leading a desperate rearguard action to gain time for the
armies of the realm and the House of Stone is besieged. The

though her battle strength is sorely damaged. Phalorm's army
retreats north seeking to rally at Iniarv's Tower, a fortress of the
allied seacoast realm of Uthtower.

Nessmara, a lamia noble skilled in the Art who dwells amidst the
ruined city of Illimar in the Gulthmere Woods, recovers the
broken fragments of theMaguscepter. Once reassembled, the
sentient scepter twists its mistress's desires towards its own ends:
ruling the city of Westgate.
615 / Year of the Lamia's Kiss
The armies of Phalorm are defeated once more at Iniarv's Tower
(abode of the long-vanished Mage Royal of Uthtower) by the
Horde of the Wastes. The battle rouses Iniarv, now a lich, from
crypts deep beneath the fortress. Iniarv attacks both the orcs and
the armies of Phalorm in his fury, and the fortress is reduced to
ruins. With cruel humour, he unleashes great magics that cause
the seas to rise up and flood the surrounding lands, bringing the
realm of Uthtower to an end and devastating the armies of both
Phalorm and the Horde of the Wastes. The remaining orcs flee
into the Sword Mountains (where centuries later their
descendants found the realm of Uruth Ukrypt) and the area
becomes a large swamp known as the Mere of Dead Men.
The realm of Phalorm falls apart as the elves, sickened by the
endless warring, abandon the alliance and take ship to Evermeet.
The dwarves of Phalorm, their numbers greatly reduced, retreat
to isolated holds deep beneath the Horn Hills or travel east to

A visiting wizard from the north, who identifies himself only as the
Handweaver, is one of many individuals granted a public audience
with the monarchs of Westgate on Midsummer's Day at the
annual Commoner's Court. Despite numerous wards protecting
the monarchs, the Handweaver's spells shatter Queen Nessmara's
charms, revealing her true nature to all. The ensuing combat pits
the aged androsphinx king of Westgate against the lamia noble,
resulting in both of their deaths.
The death of the Winter Sphinx and his unmasked mate throws
Westgate into chaos, disrupting trade and undermining the profits
of the city's merchants accustomed to over a century of relative
stability. Most expect the Handweaver to proclaim himself the
city's next king, but the wizard, who many suspect to be an
avatar or proxy of Azuth, demonstrates no such intentions. After
several months of instability, a group of prominent merchants
approaches the Handweaver regarding the empty throne. The
sorcerer declines their offer, suggesting his most senior
apprentice might be more suitable. Before the year's end, Farnath
Ilistar has been crowned king of Westgate, and his mentor, the
Handweaver, has vanished from the city.

are destroyed, the Srinshee steps in, easily swinging theelfblade
free of its perch. As it is brandished before her, the golden light of

weapon all disappear.

669DR).
668 / Year of the Telling Tome
Wizards begin mysteriously disappearing this year from Myth
Drannor and all of Cormanthyr. The only clue is that all the

them to the Underhalls.)

Abarat and the monsters are all missing, as are any external signs
of anything amiss. Abarat was never found or heard from again,
but his unfinished tower of pure ivory, thereafter known as
Abarat's Folly, still stands as a monument of elf wizardry and as a
beacon to adventurers seekinggates to the planes that many
claim to have seen inside.
672 / Year of the Angry Caverns
Many dwarf settlers of Myth Drannor, most of them refugee clans
from the fallen Realm of the Glittering Swords, leave the city and

reopen the westernmost mines of Sarphil, known as the Lost
Ways, which honeycomb a lengthy escarpment (known as the
Scarp) that looms over the eastern reaches of Tailings Bay.
673 / Year of the Covenant
The fledgling town of Hillsafar, named in honor of the dwarf clan
of the same name, is founded by elves, half-elves, and humans
on the western shore of Tailings Bay to trade with the dwarves of
the Scarp. Some found this settlement to both keep drow out of
the area and maintain some vigilance over Moander's Crypt.

new city in search of new opportunities.

that all he worked for is gone with the passings of both the
Coronal and Aravae.
Josidiah does not take up his rightful place as Lord-Speaker of
House Starym, but he does (by right of the elf-blade he restores
to Myth Drannor) take over the leadership of the Akh'Faer and
thus rise to a seat on the Council of Twelve. Josidiah refuses to
discuss it, but many notice that he no longer walks with his
magnificent cat Guenhwyvar, and some whisper he had to trade
the cat's figurine of power for the blade. Of his 12 original
comrades, only one survived: Onas Ulondarr, an elf bladesinger of
House Ulondarr. Returning to the city married to Maira Shieldark,
a human wizardess of Arabel, they bring with them four adult
half-elf children (three women, one man; all rangers): Alupiira,
Vaeala, Shaeia, and Rahsil.
675 / Year of the Bloodfeud
The scandalous House Ulondarr, by openly accepting half-elves

Wizards," though they are still only five in number. Later this
year, in a politically motivated spell battle among some noble
elves and humans, gold elf students accidentally kill Taeral and
two human students. These elves are never charged with the
crimes, as they frame the only non-elf left, and the innocent
Arlesn of Arabel is forever banished from Myth Drannor for a
crime he didn't commit.
[Old Empires] Nydane the Elder becomes King of Thesk.
677 / Year of the Resonant Silence
Hym Kraaven, senior among the "Seven Wizards", uncovers the

Lord Councilor Kharis Maerdrym and his hunting party, which

to Hillsafar to aid that fledgling city in constructing its first
encircling defensive wall.
After more than a decade, wizards of the Guild of Naturalists
piece together the clues and realize that Halaster Blackcloak has
been abducting wizards all throughout Cormanthyr in retaliation
for their plundering of his monsters in Undermountain. The guild
mounts a rescue expedition into the dungeon, which never
returns, and they quietly end their sorties to Undermountain.
Attempts to dispels or destroy thegate connecting their hall with
Undermountain meet with failure.
[Old Empires] Nydane the Elder takes the title "Overlord of the
North Coast," a move that does not go over well with the newlyindependant

Chathuulandroth. Nezram's children are scattered or slain.
682 / Year of the Howling
The Masked and Mentor Wintercloak effectively disband the
"Seven Wizards" by leaving Myth Drannor with their last four
students, all gnomes. Their departure, when one of Mentor's
properties (an old stone tower) abruptly uprooted itself and flew

open. The Incanistaeum now lies solely in the hands of Sakaala of
the Seven Rings.

Dovenstar, first of the Shieldmaidens.
684 / Year of the Sundered Crypt
Dwarves of the clan Tarynstone are found digging deep tunnels
under Myth Drannor despite the long-held prohibition against
such actions. Furthermore, some elf Houses are outraged that the
dwarves' tunneling in restricted areas collapsed some nighforgotten
deep crypts of the elder or long-gone Houses. Clan
Tarynstone and its 350 dwarves, despite a cry within the Ruling
Council for death sentences and an equally loud cry for acquittal,
are exiled from Myth Drannor and Cormanthyr. The clan
emigrates west into the Thunder Peaks.

fallenArtblade, he is found unworthy of its power and
responsibility. Forever after, dead magic zone surrounds and

The first divinations and portents of doom arrive via Darcassan,
the diviner of Windsong Tower. He tells the Elders of Windsong
Tower of the signs, but they keep the knowledge from the public
to prevent a panic. Given the climate of distrust and factionalism,
this news is also kept secret from the Council, as it is uncertain
where the threat to Myth Drannor's security lies.
The Circle of Flames and the wizards of Windsong Tower begin
spiriting magical items and tomes (including theScrolls Ardentym
and theKeryfaertel) safety. Many end up in Ascalhorn and

of wizards not moving there themselves), though some wizards
take off with their secrets for parts unknown over the next twelve
years.

The Ildacer clan, due to the internal machinations of the Ruling
Council and other factions (specifically Lord Venali Starym and the
Guild of Wizards, Conjurers and Enchanters), loses much of its
holdings, monies, and social status in Myth Drannor. While the
Ildacers lose all their estates, they move into and maintain four
inns and taverns within the city. With the loss of Riirose, the
Eternal Srinnala moves their base of operations into some old
abandoned mages' towers north of the city, which are owned by
another member.

numerous "lost spells" of Moander's clergy are recovered from the
ruins by the elder priests and restored to use.
Three nycaloths escape their dimensional pocket prison that
floated invisibly high above Cormanthyr. Their freedom depended
on a "red dragon that never held malice or greed in its heart
[flying] over the Coronal's throne." As Saeval Ammath and his
adopted dragon-mount Garnet flew above Myth Drannor, they
weakened the dimensional prison enough for the nycaloths to
escape.
709 / Year of the Earnest Oaths
Page 66 de 123

The three nycaloths and their summoned yugoloth allies spend 29
months drawing together their forces amid the mountains and
hills north of the Dragon Sea. In all, their army consists of orcs,
ogres, bugbears, hobgoblins, gnolls, flinds, trolls, and an evergrowing
assortment of lesser yugoloths.
Start of the Tenth Serôs War. This is the start of more than seven
separate civil wars that tear apart the nations under the Inner
Sea, putting nearly all the other races against each other, with
conflicts spanning merman vs. merman vs. shalarin vs. sea elf.
The Night of Twelve Magisters: Cloning himself a dozen times, the
ambitious archmage Zunroun Ilber of Calimport attacks the
Magister Almer Galarthund on the 4th of Eleasias. Almer dies in
the attack, leaving all nine surviving clones to become Magister.
The clones quickly go insane and slay each other. The original
Zunroun, having survived the chaos, is killed by his apprentice,
Illinge Hardraw. Illinge is killed in turn by the local archmage
Belmer of the Six Thunders, who dies soon after under the hands
of his own apprentice, Turnrock Draether. After the night's chaos,
Turnrock emerges as Magister (reigns 709-762DR).
710 / Year of the Toppled Throne
Drow attacks in Cormyr claim the lives of three noble families of
the realm. While believed dead, most of the nobles survive as
slaves in the Underdark.
Full summoning of the Army of Darkness begins north of the
Dragon's Sea, and they march by year's end.
A gate to the Abyss opens above the palace of Westgate, and a
large host of tiefling warriors flee through it, hotly pursued by a
small company of tanar'ri. Much of the royal palace is destroyed
in the resulting conflagration, and King Thartryn Ilistar I perishes
under mysterious circumstances during the blaze. Although
eventually the fiends are banished back to the Abyss and the gate
closed, the bulk of the tiefling army survives the battle, in far
better shape than the city's own forces. Within a fortnight, the
leader of the tieflings, Iyachtu Xvim, seizes the throne of
Westgate and the surviving scions of the royal house of Ilistar are
driven into exile. Once the throne is his, the Fiend King imposes
his draconian rule over the entire city, a reign of tyranny in
keeping with his claim to be the Son of Bane.
711 / Year of the Despairing Elves
Late in the autumn of this year, the Army of Darkness overruns
the mining and trading encampments on the western Moonsea
(the site that will become Zhentil Keep). By early winter, the first
incursions into Cormanthor have begun.
The Weeping War begins on the Feast of the Moon with the
Northern Massacres campaign as the Army of Darkness engages
many elf patrols and destroys many elf villages and clan enclaves.
[Old Empires] Gharamun, last Arch-Druid of the Methwood,
launches a Wild Hunt against the loggers and hunters of Unther.
In the ensuing chaos many small villages and towns are razed,
and the carnage threatens to spread as Gharamun, subtly
influenced by the evils of Tiamat, widens his Hunt to include all of
Unther. Gilgeam marshalls his forces and attacks the druids in the
heart of the Methwood. Many Untheri soldiers are slaughtered by
the forces of the forest, but in the end Gharamun is killed, and
the druids are broken and scattered, with many of them fleeing
northwest to the Emerald Enclave.
712 / Year of the Lost Lance (NOTE: This Year is called the Year of
the Moon's Tears in the Pool of Radiance computer game)
Beginning of the nycaloth-led assault on Myth Drannor, the
Woods of Cormanthyr, and the Lands of the Dragonreach by the
Army of Darkness. The Weeping War continues throughout the
year, resulting in the deaths of many heroes and the collective
Harpers at Twilight, including the Lady Dathlue Mistwinter. There
are four major campaigns this year, and Myth Drannor nearly falls
prey to the Army of Darkness. The Nameless Chosen is nearmortally
wounded at Silversgate, and the Chosen Elminster is lost
among the planes for a time.
High Mage Truesilver dies in the Battle at Silversgate, but names
as his successor Aglanthol the Red, his great-nephew and head
apprentice; by year's end, High Mage Aglanthol adopts the Staff
of Silverymoon as his symbol of rulership.
713 / Year of the Firedrake
TheMonarch Mordent, an elven man-o-war, crashes into the Army
of Darkness outside of Myth Drannor. The site of the crash
becomes known as Monarch's Fall Glade.
The Weeping War rages on, though the allies manage to
eliminate Malimshaer and Gaulguth, two of the three nycaloths
leading the Army of Darkness. While three major campaigns
rocked the forest for much of the year, there is a tense peace
from Greengrass to Midsummer's Night. During this time, many
Myth Drannan natives emigrate either to sister cities outside of
Cormanthor or to Semberholme and Tangled Vale settlements;
After more than 200 years, the Twisted Tower falls once again to
the dark elves, marking the refounding of the Lands Under
Shadow in western Cormanthor.
714 / Year of Doom
Fall of Myth Drannor. The final campaigns of the elves and allies
against the Army of Darkness see the reestablishment of Elven
Court as a seat of elven power in Cormanthyr while Myth Drannor
falls under siege by the Army of Darkness. With the slaughter of
the army and cavalry, little can be done against the Siege of
Shadow, which descends on Myth Drannor on the 21st day of
Kythorn.
Battle of Burnt Ridge. Many of the city's mages fall here.
Lady Steel dies fighting the city's attackers; her contingencies
trigger a massive explosion that slays many evil beings.
Druth Daern hides during the final battle and later emerges to
ransack the ruins.
In Silverymoon, the group of allied warriors and mages known as
the Seven of Silver open a gateway to Myth Drannor to aid in its
defense, but they succeed only in allowing twelve elves and
humans to escape. The Seven of Silver are immortalized by the
bard's song "Seven Silvers Falling," sung by those wishing to
commemorate a noble sacrifice.
The Banes' Duel: The climax of the war was the duel between the
two final opposing army leaders. The Banes' Duel between the
forces of Aulmpiter the nycaloth and Captain Fflar lasts for two
whole days, and ends with the pair facing off in mortal combat on
the 15th day of Flamerule. While neither body is ever identified,
the magical blast that engulfs them robs both armies of their
commanders.
The Siege lasts until the Final Flight in Flamerule, as the nowdirection-less
hordes of the Army of Darkness simply swarm over
Myth Drannor's last defenders by savagery and sheer weight of
numbers. Only 200 elves allies out of the 3000 who remained to
defend the City of Song escaped to tell of the city's passing,
among them, Zaor Moonflower. Among the casualties were
Josidiah Starym, who nobly sacrificed himself with the destruction
of theArtblade. His remains were never recovered.
[Old Empires] The archmage Shaeroon arrives in Alaghon,
fleeing the Fall of Myth Drannor.
715 / Year of the Hungry Jaws
The elves of Cormanthor spend this summer and the next hunting
down and killing the remnants of the Army of Darkness, until the
woods are cleansed. This work takes all the magic they have, and
most of their best warrior blood.
Monsters run wild in all the Realms this year.
(circa) The civil wars of the Inner Sea flare again with the
interjection of Myth Drannan refugees into the sea elven
population. These migrations saw a sudden backlash of concern
that the elves were trying to restore the 1,000-years'-fallen
Aryselmalyr empire.
Page 67 de 123

716 / Year of Reaching Regret
717 / Year of the Druid's Wrath

druids establish themselves in Ilighon, the Chondalwood, and the
Winterwood.
The young boy Rhyester, blind from birth, sees the dawn on the
first day of Ches and has his sight for the first time in his life. By
year's end, he and other folk faithful to Lathander have
constructed a crude temple to the God of the Dawn in
Silverymoon.
End of the Dukars. The Dukars have remained outside the
Hmurran civil wars aside from protecting bystanders and
innocents and upholding the Laws of Battle. During this year, of
which few facts are known, the Dukars slowly withdraw from all
political sectors of Serôs. By year's end, the Dukars vanish, and
their schools either disappear or remain mute behind massive,
impenetrable shields of magic.
718 / Year of the Painful Price
(circa) Founding of the elven settlements of Lake Sember and
Tangled Trees as areas to begin training their young in the arts of
war.
719 / Year of the Lost Lord

common nickname.
Lurskas becomes Milvarn's new Mage-King.
720 to 1358
The Age of Humanity: With the elven and dwarven empires in
decline, this era marks a dramatic increase in human expansion
on Toril. The High God Ao opens Realmspace to races from other
worlds. With these immigrants, came their faith in new gods. This
era started and concluded on two prominant events involving the
Faerûnian pantheon of gods, The Dawn Cataclysm and The Time
of Troubles.
720 / Year of the Dawn Rose
Gathering of the gods at the Dancing Place.
Refounding of the Harpers at the request of some elves from
Elven Court. In attendance are all 15 of the Harpers at Twilight
who survived the previous decade, including Lady Alais Dree,
Elminster Aumar, Khelben Arunsun (once the Nameless Chosen),
and Meil "Darkhunter" Araeln.
The sylvan community of Elventree is founded as a site for the
elves of Elven Court to continue interaction with their allied races
(since Elven Court now is prohibited to the presence of non-elves)
and as a trading site.
Myth Lharast is overrun by evil lycanthrope hordes; the city is
blasted out of existence by "lightning bolts from the moon."
With the Dukars absent, sahaugin rading parties slaughter the
remaining sea elf and merfolk guardians and look to destroy as
much of Myth Nantar as possible, though they soon abandon the
city due to the uncomfortable nature (for them) of the mythal.
721 / Year of the Hungry Pool
722 / Year of the Last Hunt
[Old Empires] Shaeroon of Alaghon takes an apprentice, a

settlement grows into a string of cities and outposts spanning the
western cliffs.
[Old Empires] The border-town of Peleveran is re-founded by
enterprising merchant concerns (subtly influenced by priests of
Gargauth, who turn it into a center of their faith).

Elenaril, one of the few escapees from fallen Myth Drannor.

733 / Year of the Sad Refrains
734 / Year of the Splendid Stag
Due to overcrowding, the walls of Silverymoon are moved
outward to almost twice the size of the city at that time (and
almost the walls' current location). The space behind the walls is
used for garrisons and grazing lands for the cattle of the city. The
walls of the Old City are left partially standing for people to use as
partial foundations and support for new buildings.
On the eve of Greengrass, the reign of the Fiend King comes to
an abrupt end following the sudden appearance of the
Handweaver in the throne room of Westgate. The legendary
wizard and the king claiming to be the Son of Bane battle from
dusk to dawn, laying waste to a great swath of the port city, as
sheets of brilliant green flame race through entire city blocks. The
Handweaver never emerges from the wreckage their battle has
wrought, but, although his body is never found, few believe the
sorcerer truly dead. King Xvim emerges from the ruins of his
palace bearing horrifying wounds and proclaiming a magnificent
victory. However, the Fiend King's continued claim to Westgate's
throne is proven hollow when he and his most loyal troops are
forced to flee in the face of a host of mercenaries, who had been
assembled outside the city walls while the conflict unfolded the
night before. Led by Farnath Ilistar II, a great-great-grandson of
King Farnath Ilistar I descended from King Belhendar's younger
half-brother, the army marches into Westgate in the face of token
resistance. Farnath II is proclaimed king by acclamation of the
populace, refounding the Ilistar dynasty in the process.

brings some merfolk back into harmony with Serôs as she founds
Page 68 de 123

Eadraal on the city of Voalidru just off the plateau. The rise of
Eadraal does not end the war, as Eardraal exists for the next
fifteen years as but one city, an idea of peace among all races
and merfolk, and a line of noble merfolk whose drive to restore
peace rises above all the chaos of war.
736 / Year of the Gleeful Noise
737 / Year of the Purple Worm (NOTE: This Year is also known as
the Year of the Winded Herald)

The first walls of Flostren's Hold are built and Elephstron becomes
Lord of the Keep.
End of the Tenth Serôs War. This war destroys the last warring
remnants of Hmurrath, though other casualties include an
ixitxachitl baron's plan to take over the plateau. Eadraal, having

nation to survive into the Fourth Epoch, folloed by Keryvyr and its
sea elf allies to the west and the north.

Endue Alustriel Silverhand (Alustriel) is born.
Page 69 de 123

The Magister Turnrock Draether is killed by the Mulhorandi battlemage
Cauldyn Darthus Salanger. Salanger's reign as Magister
lasted little more than a month before he was killed by Turnrock's
vengeful apprentices. The office of Magister then passed to
Veldrin "Bluehands" Daerivyn (reigns 762-797DR), the most
dominant and effective mage of Faerûn at the time.
763 / Year of the Sharp Edge
Ambara Dove Silverhand (Dove) is born.
764 / Year of the Mistmaidens

[Old Empires] The itinerant mage Elminster and the wizardress
Dasumia kill Nadrathen, the "Rebel Chosen." Dasumia becomes

surrounding lands). She quickly turns the rulership of Nethrar into
a tyranny, and begins to advance her dreams of empire. [D/M]
The War of the Ten: Escalant's ambassador is assassinated in
Laothkund by suspected Nethran agents. War engulfs the entire
coast, as the ten cities make alliances and march for war. The
war lasts for eight years, quickly becoming a matter of pride for
each of the newly-independant cities, and is easily the bloodiest
war fought on the coast thus far, with no side giving or asking
any quarter.
Four Day's Battle: The first engagement of the war. Laothian and
Nethran troops fight a relatively short battle and disengage.
However, the next day's arrival of Delthuntian and Tethran
legions locks the two sides into a stalemate which lasts for
another three days before an attack on Laothkund by Escalant
ends the fighting.
Battle of the Fens: Laothkund ambushes Escalantan relief
columns near the Umber Marshes, inflicting serious damage to
Escalant's military capabilities.

wizards exiled from Ascalhorn, steal powerful magical items from
Silverymoon, including High Mage Ederan'sStaff of Silverymoon,
the chain mailGlove of Taarnahm the Vigilant, andTasmia's
Necklace. Their safehouse in Ascalhorn proves the Black Hand's
undoing as it falls to wizardry and baatezu manipulations, and the
Hand's slayers confiscate the stolen items.
[Old Empires] Lady Dasumia and her court mage Elminster
disappear in the flames of the House of the Unicorn. A tenday
later, the armies of Laothkund set Nethrar ablaze, signalling an
end of the realm of Galadorna. Nethrar's involvement in the War
of Ten is effectively ended, although the Greatsword Annathaer
and his legions remain in the field, temporarily continuing the war
effort.
Battle of Sablat: All three sides of the North Coast war meet at
the small hamlet of Sablat. The ensuing battle results in the seven
smaller city-states withdrawing as their battered military and

on a ring of seven hillocks just beyond the last rise west of

Jalensifer. Jalensifer, a master of disguise and stealth, becomes

use of the Untheri language, making the "common tongue" of
Chessenta, descended from the Turami, the official language. The
newly-crowned Sceptanar also launches an Inquisition across his
empire, seeking to ferret out "enemies of the state" and to
establish himself as the Supreme God and Ruler of Chessenta. By
the time his red- and black-garbed warrior-priests finish their task
some ten years later, over 120,000 men, women and children
(many of them faithful adherents or priests of rival gods) have
been put to the sword.

988 / Year of the Meddling Avatar
[Old Empires] Tchazzar conquers Threskel, absorbing it into
Chessenta. It is at the Battle of Endymian where the Sceptanar
confirms his deific powers. He transforms himself into a great red
wyrm of monstrous appearance and single- handedly decimates
much of the Threskan army, which soon breaks and flees the field
of battle. The victorious Chessentans, along with their god-king,
chase down the routed Threskans and slaughter them by the
hundreds. News of the utter defeat reaches Mourktar and inspires
panic among the citizenry there - by the time the Chessentans
reach the city, they find it a virtual ghost-town, with the main
gates left gaping wide open.
After a brief siege of the royal palace, Tchazzar completes his
conquest of Threskel. He executes the current king, Garumn II,
and installs one of his generals, Ranais, as Lord. The Threskan
prince, Garumn III, flees to Delthuntle, where he is given shelter
by King Marridous (acting under orders from the priesthood of
Gargauth). This marks the beginning of an alliance that is
cemented in 1021 with the marriage of the re-instated King
Garumn III of Threskel to Princess Ellura, daughter of King Ouorn
of Delthuntle.
Until 1019 DR, this is known as the Interregnum in Threskel.

The cities of Lheshayl and Ormath are heavily damaged, and four
dragons are killed in the Shining Plains (including the great wyrm
Andraxis).
A great flight of dragons assaults Zhentil Keep. The old Keep is
destroyed, but the city is saved by its wizards, and priests of
Bane. The Cult of the Dragon is widely blamed for the
Page 80 de 123

devastation, and the inhabitants of the Keep first take note of the
Cult as a recognized enemy (as opposed to a dimly perceived
nuisance).
The blue dragon Alasklerbanbastos contacts the Cult of the
Dragon for additional power in hopes to rival the apparent
ascension to godhood of Tchazzar.
The wyrm Sapphiraktar the Blue joins in the massive flights of
dragons ravaging the Realms. He emerges from his normal Calim
desert habitat and destroys much of Calimport and Keltar in
Kythorn and Flamerule.
Westgate's harborside district is set aflame by a red wyrm of the
Thunder Peaks, Thungarbarath Flamegout, and the royal family
and much of the populace is slain in the resulting conflagration
that engulfs the city, bringing the Campion dynasty to an end.
Thungarbarath is eventually slain and the fires extinguished
thanks to the heroics and able leadership of Sarvyn Eorn, a
mercenary lord visiting the city in search of his next commission.
As the surviving inhabitants begin to rebuild their city, Sarvyn
Eorn is crowned as King of Westgate by acclamation. King Sarvyn
holds his throne for many years, widely recognized for his
wisdom, craftiness, and principled nature. The Bane of
Thungarbarath forges a strong relationship with the monarchy of
the Forest King, and several years after his coronation, Sarvyn
marries Lady Ardine Huntsilver of Cormyr, a favored second
cousin of King Arangor and a granddaughter of Prince Tanalar,
the second son of King Galaghard III.
Early in his reign, Sarvyn of Westgate reverses the long-standing
royal edict banning temples from the city proper. In the years
that follow, numerous temples are constructed in Westgate
proper, and the shrines and secret temples west of the city dating
back to the Campion Dynasty are abandoned. Over time, the
seven hillocks become known as the Shrines of the Seven Lost
Gods, even though several of those faiths are still venerated in
Westgate. (Curiously, the term 'Seven Lost Gods' has its roots in
antiquity. It more properly refers to seven demipowers that
bowed down before Bane long ago: Maram of the Great Spear,
Haask the Voice of Hargut, Tyranthraxus the Flamed One, Borem
of the Lake of Boiling Mud, Camnod the Unseen, and two whose
names have been forgotten.)

Ash Plain; he makes a pact with the Raaig and builds his tower
atop the Pool.
[Old Empires] Sceptanar Tschender, Imperator Olbiades,
Jemsuldyn Tismistar, and most of Cimbar's senior military
commanders are killed at Aeros. Cimbar sues for peace, and loses
much of its conquests (including Soorenar and the ruins of
Luthcheq). Tschender's swordItlidim disappears from the
battlefield.
The rise of the Tetrarchs (the Four Kings) in Cimbar, as four
powerful mercinary commanders seize control of the city in the

Mulhorandi crusaders storm the harbor of Unthalass. They seize
the city, installing themselves as a theocratic council dedicated to
Anhur.
The Enclave engages in spell-battle against Velsharoon near Lake
Azulduth. The resulting draw causes a huge wild magic storm in
the region for months afterwards.
King Belshazzar makes Antandarus "The Butcher of Luthcheq"
commander of the Untheri Legions.
Sakhalin signs a pact with the Tukim nomads of the Eastern
Shaar, and the allied forces route the Bandit- Lord Furifax at
Unthagol Pass, securing Ilglauthyn's southern border.
Queen Zenobia gives birth to Ziadan, heir to the thrones of
Unther and Threskel.
King Belshazzar of Unther and King Sakhalin of Ilglauthyn sign a
peace treaty, ending three years of constant clashes and border
skirmishing between the two realms. The treaty does not,
however, recognize Sakhalin's claim to what was once southern
Unther.
[Old Empires] Leaping in to fill the void of power left by the
defeat of Cimbar, Mordulkin invades western Chessenta. The
shattered remains of Luthcheq are swept aside easily, and
Soorenar falls shortly after the Akanan garrison there is betrayed
by double agents. Within two tendays, the legions of Mordulkin
are at the gates of Akanax.
Mordulkin forces capture Akanax, but Phillipus escapes into the
hills with his guards, to start a long and bloody guerilla war with
Mordulkin. The Akanul falls as well, with the exception of the
rebuilt fortress of Rodanar, which becomes a safe haven for war
refugees. Mordulkin lays seige to the citadel.
Prelate Tiglath begins forming an order of holy crusaders devoted
to Ishtar, the Templars. She and Bathis immediately begin
arguing over the need for such an order.
[Old Empires] Hethhab, the current incarnation of Anhur, is
killed while saving Mulhorand from the dreaded Skriaxit. When
they learn of his sacrifice, Anhurites take to the streets to avenge
their martyr. Civil war breaks out as the Anhurites take control of
Outer Sultim.
The seige of Rodanar ends when a circle of Jedean mages blasts
the citadel into the ground, killing over 17,000 refugees trapped
within. [M [
After that display of magical might, Sanctus signs a treaty
agreeing to Mordulkin rule. Cimbar whelms for battle but, with a
tired military and young, inexperienced commanders, is soundly
defeated at the Battle of Tenspells. Out of an admiration for
Cimbaran art and culture, Mordulkin spares Cimbar the fate of
Rodanar but garrisons the city, turning the Tetrarchs into little
more than puppets. The mopping up of the Akanul is complete by
the rest of the year, and the Patriarch of Mordulkin, Cyrus Jedea,
is crowned as the first ruler of Jedean Chessenta.
[Old Empires] The Blacklord's War: The legions of Unther and
Threskel, allied with the Enclave and the priesthood of Anhur,
attack the temple-complex of the Black Lord's Cloak in Mourktar.
A great spell-battle erupts in the midst of the city, until Cyric (who
had been supplying the priests with spells under the guise of
Bane for many years), decides to show Imperceptor Telthaug who
is really in charge. He denies any further spells to the Baneites
and personally visits the battlefield, pausing to suck the very souls
out of the priests, and to scoop up a screaming Telthaug and
return to Pandemonium with him. After Cyric's "visit," the Untheri
legions turn the tide of the battle, routing the remaining Baneites
and razing the temple.
Under the supervision of Tjenen, a new temple of Mystra begins
construction on the site of the ruined Banite temple.

[Old Empires] The civil war between the Anhurites and Rezim's
forces reaches an uneasy stalemate, with the Anhurites holding
most of the northern part of Mulhorand. Harrassing raids by
forces out of Unthalass and tentative forays by Ilglauthan forces
eyeing the rich farmlands of the Great Vale keep several vital
Imperial Legions tied up to the south.
[Old Empires] Tukim nomads, led by Shah Assurban and allied
with the realm of Ilglauthyn, sweep out of the Shaar, invading
and conquering a great swath of the Great Vale of Mulhorand.
The kingdom of Chaldaea is founded.
[Old Empires] The Tukim cross the River of Spears and invade
Mishtan. Rezim, realizing that the rich farmland and burial
grounds of the south are more important than the rebels
contained across the Rauthenflow, pulls his forces south in an
attempt to recover the Holy Land, unleashing ancient magics long
forgotten. In the battle, these powerful spells get out of control
and wipe out both armies, resulting in a virtual stalemate, with
Chaldaea controlling the Land of the Dead, and Mulhorand retaking
Gheldaneth and the Klondar goldfields.
Enraged at the Tukim occupation and looting of Mishtan, the
Anhurites put aside their differences with Rezim and join the
Mulhorandi army at Gheldaneth. Halcaunt of Osiris is named
commander of the united forces.
[Old Empires] Halcaunt of Osiris, commander of the Mulhorandi
legions, is assassinated by unknown enemies.
[Old Empires] The Mulhorandis regain control over the burial
grounds of Mishtan, although it is a largely empty victory.
Finished looting the tombs of millennia of Mulhorandi pharoahs,
the Tukim divert their forces west to Gheldaneth. They retake the
city and hold it against Mulhorandi reprisals, gaining an important
port and access to the Inner Sea.
[Old Empires] Mordulkin forces finally capture the Rebel King,
Phillipus of Akanax. He is sent to the torturers' dungeons for five
years, and then burned at the stake in the central square of
Akanax, as a lesson to future rebels. The leader of the capture
team is Lutra, the eldest daughter of the famed Cimbari general
Olbiades. By putting Phillipus to death, Lutra avenges both her
father's death and the defeat of Cimbar at Aeros, and unwittingly
sows the seeds of Cimbar's future rebellion from Mordulkin.
[Old Empires] The Spellwar of Bezantur: A group of Enclave
hotheads destroys much of the port city of Bezantur in a magic
duel with a cabal of Thayans over a minor arguement.
[Old Empires] Tjenen realizes that the Enclave has turned into
the very thing it was created to fight against. He sets out to
reform and reshape the cabal, but is challenged by a faction led
by Dairut. A battle for control of the Enclave breaks out as mage
fights against mage. Tjenen is imprisoned by the Raaig's magic
and, in his absence, Dairut's faction gains control.
[Old Empires] Fully in control of the Enclave, with those loyal to
Tjenen either dead or in hiding, Dairut strikes at the rulership of
Unther. He kills Belshazzar and Zenobia, but Ziadan secretly
escapes to the safety of the Inner Sea, as Dairut kills a servant
dressed as the Crown Prince.
Believing the Royal Family to have all been killed, Dairut proclaims
himself Emperor of Unther, with his Magelords at his side.

The exiled Prince Ziadan of Unther becomes first mate on an
Inner Sea pirate ship, using the alias "Garumn."
[Old Empires] Ilglauthan forces repel an attack by Unther with
the aid of the sorceress Belmaera. Belmaera becomes the High
Mage of Ilglauthyn and, it is rumored, the lover of King Sakhalin.
[Old Empires] The Raaig, tiring of lurking in the shadows,
attacks Dairut and posesses his body. With a powerful host and
the resources of the entire nation at his command, the beast
begins to mass for war, stripping Unther of manpower and
materials to build his horde.
[Old Empires] The army of Unther crosses into Ilglauthyn,
driving everything before it. The walls of Unthalass crumble under
the spells of the Magelords, and Sakhalin's initial counter-attack is
swept away, hardly slowing the Untheri juggernaut.
Realizing that his men stand little chance against the invaders,
Sakhalin chooses to make his stand on the shores of the
Ishtarmere. With as many mercinaries and Chessentan allies as
they can muster, the Ilglauthans engage the enemy. Hundreds of
men die here, and the fertile soil of the Greenfields becomes a
blood-soaked quagmire. On the fifteenth day of the battle, known
as the Day of Nightfall, Dairut's Magelords summon an
unnaturaldarkness over the field. For the next three days the
battlefield is perpetual twilight, lit only by burning engines of war
and streaking spells, and prowled by darkenbeasts conjured up by
the invaders.
The Ilglauthan forces gain a temporary respite when agate
opened by Belmaera unleashes a legion of heavy infantry into the
flank of the Untheric forces. The dwarves of Illefarn and
Earthfast, led by King Durin, arrive to aid the defenders.
Finally, the fighting dies down into sporadic clashes, with each
side warily eyeing each other across the ruined fields. Unwilling or
unable to commit to a frontal assault, both sides send horrible
magics against each other. Plague clouds, shredding blades, rains
of fire, fiends, and worse stalk the Ilglauthan lines, while the High
Mage Belmaera and the mind-master Djellal Ilsalunte strike at the
Magelords and the Untheri command staff.
King Sakhalin is struck down by the Raaig in single combat, his
swordItlidim shattered and lost againstGlaumoran, the
reformedBanespear. Belmaera assumes command of the
Ilglauthan forces, keeping them from routing and fleeing while
Sakhalin lies dying, poisoned by a venom the priests of Anhur are
powerless to dispel.
Drained by the constant magic battle, the Raaig's bonds holding
Tjenen fade a bit, allowing the mage to work free. On the Day of
Retribution, he stalks the field, a terrible presence, lashing out left
and right with his spells, ignoring the common soldiers but
mowing down the rebel mages of the Enclave and the priests of
Anhur like a farmer scything wheat. He is joined by the new
Magister, Jaederen Tismistar, who is drawn to the magical chaos
swirling around the battle.
Finally, Tjenen and the Raaig battle, in a great magical duel that
shakes the earth underneath them. Huge wild magic storms begin
to swirl out of control, and the very fabric of the Weave begins to
tear. Tjenen kills both Dairut and the Raaig and, with the help of
Jaederen and an avatar of Thoth, repairs much of the damage
caused by the unleashed magics.
King Sakhalin dies two days after the Day of Retribution, watched
over by Belmaera, Tjenen, the Magister Jaederen, Djellal, and
King Durin. He wakes briefly before his death, asking Belmaera to
be his wife and queen. She accepts, and a brief marriage
cerimony is performed by Jaederen.
The tattered remains of both armies leave the field of battle,
Tjenen leading the Untheris back to Messemprar, and the few
surviving Ilglauthan forces fall back to more hospitable lands. It is
1403
1404
1405
many years before the first living things begin to grow in the
northern Greenfields again, even with the combined ministrations
of the clergy of Ishtar and Isis.
With the deaths of Belshazzar and Dairut, the powerful Untheri
noble "Prince" Sardaukar makes a grab for the throne. He is
backed by Karasin of House Garathos and the forces of the
Unther Patriotic Front led by Suhl Zaragoza. Although Tjenen
opposes the Prince, he feels that Unther is currently too weak to
afford another civil war. Sardaukar is crowned as Emperor of
Unther, and weds Karasin.
[Old Empires] Queen Belmaera of Ilglauthyn cedes rulership of
the Realm of the Ready Swords to Unther in return for aid and
supplies. Emperor Sardukar offers to allow her stay on as regional
governer, but she declines, and elects the warrior Ghenethen
Strongspear instead. She then disappears, leaving the Old
Empires forever.
[Old Empires] An alliance of Thayan Tharchions, goaded on by
an avatar of Set and emboldened by Mulhorand's inability to
dislodge the Tukim to the south, invades across the Thazalflow.
Their gnoll and undead legions are routed by a combined force of
Anhurites and Templars of Ishtar, though at a great loss of life to
the defenders.
The Jedean Emperor, Cyrus I, dies in Mordulkin. His nephew and
successor, Iakkhos (soon to be named the Purple King, for his
obsession with the color), ascends to the throne, brutally
squelching the ensuing uprisings in Cimbar and Soorenar.
[Old Empires] Iakkhos launches a war against the Blade
Kingdoms to the west, in order to bring them under Jedean rule.
Chondath, concerned that the Purple King intends to use the
Blade Kingdoms as a stepping stone into the Vilhon, allies itself
with Reth and Sespech and takes the field against Chessenta.

Kara-Tur Timeline
Calender of Shou Lung
Calender of Wa
Dates are taken from the Year Zero, the reported ascendancy of
Nung Fu. T'u Lung also uses the Shou method of record-keeping,
to T'u Lung eyes, their nation is the logical continuation of the
legacy of Nung Fu, with their northern neighbor no more than an
abomination which has strayed from the true path and which will
eventually stratify and crumble, leaving the dynamic nation of T'u
Lung to reclaim Shou lands.
The Wa calendar is measured from the time of the first emperor
of the Goshukara line. Emperors preceeding this date are only
recorded by their era, name and year. For example, the marriage
of Samon to the serpent was said to have occurred in the 23rd
year of Kuni, during the reign of Emperor Nagazane.
Calender of Kozakura
The Kozakuran calender uses 60 year cycles to keep track of
dates. The number before the slash is the cycle, the number after
is the year of the cycle. So, 11/19 represents the 19th year of the
11th cycle, and is 619 years after the year 1/1. 1/1 is the
ascension of the first human emperor, Mori.
Faerûnian Dalereckoning
The standard calender of the Dalelands in Western Faerûn dates
from the erection of the Standing Stone in the forest of
Cormanthor. It is provided so interested DMs may cross reference
this timeline with those available for the West. Lacking any
concrete intersection point (a common event given a date on both
calenders) I decided the date of the Kara-tur boxed set coincided
with the date of the original, grey Forgotten Realms Boxed set.
So, 1357 DR equates to 2607 in the Shou calender. The dates
given for events in the Horde Wars have only been given DR
dates in the official TSR material (unless the Horde Boxed Set,
which I lack, has Shou calender dates for these events) so those
dates are dependent upon the accuracy of my choice described
above.
The dating format used below follows a pattern.
The first date given is the year according to the Shou calender;
the second is the date according to the Kozakuran calender, in
paraenthesis; the third is according to the Calender of Wa, also in
parenthesis and with the word "Wa"; the fourth and final date
given is Dale Reckoning, from Faerûn. DR is included so DMs may
easily determine what is occuring at similar times in the west.
Note the only the Shou calender and DR appear in all entries,
Kozakuran and Wa'an dates are only provided when a given year
contains entries for that nation.
Sample Date: 1177 (1/1) (345 Wa) {-73 DR} - Each entry
is preceded by a note detailing the nation it most effects. Also,
events are often described twice, once according to each of the
nations involved. In some cases, notably dealing with Kozakuran
interaction with Shou Lung and Wa, the timelines had conflicting
dates. I have presented both dates, in that case, at the
appropriate spot in the timeline for each version.
?? (1st year of Chisho Wa)
- [Wa] The Sacred Wand and the Moonlight Arrow, emblems of
the Imperial office, are given to the Emperor Kochi by the Spirit of
Wa, allowing him to establish the claim to the entire island of Wa.
?? (412th year of Chisho Wa)
- [Wa] The Emperor Kochi dies. The War of the Spirits begins.
The spirit folk are divided in their loyalties and split into two
factions. One faction sides with the spirits while the other
supports the humans. The korobokuru attempt to remain neutral,
but eventually join the spirits. The hengeyokai take great delight
in the resulting turmoil and manage to fight for both sides with
equal abandon. In the end, the unity of Wa is destroyed and the
island divides into petty clans engaged in fairly constant warfare.
The Age of Kochi, Master of the Peach Tree, becomes a romantic
ideal, which foreverafter drives the nobles to attempt the
impossible task of ruling the entire island.
?? (1st Year of Koyo Wa)
- [Wa] Emperor Kasada regains the Moonlit Arrow from the Spirit
of Yakamashi Mountain and claims control of all Wa. The southern
korobokuru support the claim against their northern brothers.
Kasada is recognized as the first emperor since Kochi but refuses
to name the era after him for fear of evil omens.
?? (23rd year of Kuni Wa)
0 {-1250 DR}
120 {-1130 DR}
- [Wa] The wandering shukenja Samon is forced to seek shelter
at a simple peasant's hut during a raging blizzard. There he
becomes entranced with the peasant's beautiful daughter, a girl
of obvious grace and breeding. During that night he forgets his
vows and woos the daughter. For three nights he continues the
courtship until by custom it is decreed they are married upon the
third night. But with the dawn he discovers a great serpent coiled
by his side the true form of his new bride. Maddened by horror
and remorse, he flees into the mountains where his spirit is still
sometimes seen.
- [Shou] Ascendency of Nung Fu, a simple peasant, who was
invested with the Emblems of Authority by the semi-legendary
Nine Travelers.
- [Shou/Tu] Earliest record of the Black Leopard Cult. Cult history
says that the Black Leopard and his followers are eternal and
immortal, having advised the Nine Travelers when they ruled the
lands of Kara-Tur. This is the earliest written mention of the cult,
noting that it had temples all along the Fenghsintzu River. Its
major temple was at Durkon.

- [Hordelands] During the Li Dynasty the Shou warriors seize the
lands from the Koryaz mountains to the Rusj River, and the
mountains of Khazari. Later, the Kalmyks arise out of the Hagga
Shan and drive the Shou back into the heart of the Chukei Plateu.
Khazari rebels in this period of Shou weakness and proclaims its
independence. The Kalmyk's squabbling prevents further
successes, and the Copper Demon of Tros appears and seizes the
eastern portion of the Kalmyk empire. The remaining Kalmyks
split into two groups, those north of the Kora Shan and those
south of it.
- [Shou] Death of Nung Fu. His greatgrandson becomes the first
Emperor Chin of the Li Dynasty (Dynasty of Might).
- [Shou/Tu] The Black Leopard Cult reaches its zenith, the power
of its kio ton mu (mystic witch doctors) held in more fear and
reverence than that of the Shou Lung emperor in the lands of T'u
Lung.
- [Shou] Unification of the western provinces under the Emblems
of Imperial Authority, the Emperor's symbols of office.
- [Shou] Crushing of the Sea Lords' Revolt in Karatin Province
consolidates power beneath the Emblems of Imperial Authority.
- [Shou] Seventh Emperor Chin of the Li Dynasty declares
"Gathering of Waters," an attempt to bring the land fed by all the
major rivers in Shou Lung under the sway of the Emblems of
Imperial Authority. Shou Lung armies invade the Fenghsintzu
valley.

- [Shou] Surrender of the Grey Owl Tribes in the north secures
the present northern boundary of the empire.
- [Shou] Agents of the emperor Chin discover the Impossible
Palace of Silver Domes in the northeast of Arkarin Province.
- [Shou/Tu] The Battle of Infinite Darkness, at the mouth of
Fenghsintzu. Combined leadership of the southern tribes under
the kio ton mu challenges the forces of General Wo Can. The
entire battle is fought under the cover of darkness spells, and
legends say that the kio ton mu summoned fell and dangerous
beasts from the other side of the world to aid them. In the end,
Wo Can's army routed the southern tribes. The great southern
scholar Po Nih dies in this battle, struck by a spear as he was
writing a report to send to the main temple of Durkon.
- [Shou/Tu] Wo Can's forces destroy the temple of the Black
Leopard Cult at Durkon. The records say that the temple itself
was sunk to the lowest depths of the earth. The kio ton mu are
said to have either been slain or fled to distant lands. One legend
in particular states that a high priest journeyed unseen down the
Fenghsintzu and made his way out to sea. This destruction of the
Black Leopard cult's temple at the mouth of the Fenghsintzu River
ends resistance in the southern provinces (later to become T'u
Lung). The leader of the Black Leopard cult is not found and is
rumored to have been destroyed by his own summoned
creatures.
- [Shou/Tu] Shou Lung establishes the "18 Garrisons of T'u" in
the T'u Lung lands. These military bases are instrumental in
establishing Shou customs in the southern regions.
- [Shou] The War of the Nobles begins.
440 {-810 DR}
- [Shou] Teachings of the Path of Enlightment first appear in the
stone bluffs above the mouth of the Hungtse River. The meterhigh
characters are blasted into the solid granite by reddish
lightning during a firestorm witnessed throughout the continent.
Though the skies are ablaze with light, the vegetation and people
near the Hungtse are unharmed. The ancestors of the emperor
are said initially to refute these teachings.
- [Shou] The War of the Nobles ends, the bureaucracy comes into
its own.
580 {-670 DR}
- [Shou] The last Emperor Chin of the Li Dynasty dies without
heir. Defying his ancestors, he passes on the affairs of office to
his wu jen advisor, a follower of the Path of Enlightenment. The
advisor becomes the first Emperor Chin of the Ho (Peace)
Dynasty.
581 {-669 DR}
- [Shou/Tu] First Emperor Chin of the Ho Dynasty proclaims the
"Organization of Thought," in which he seeks to make the Path of
Enlightenment the only faith of Shou Lung. The Time of
Contentions begins, as rival faiths battle each other in the
bureaucracy, among the populace, and finally on battlefield as
temple militias contest in small civil wars. In T'u Lung, the
establishment of rival faiths and temples leads to some of the
bloodiest fighting.
585 - 640 {-665 to -610 DR}
601 {-649 DR}
- [Tabot] The "Years of Frost" in Tabot, during which 15 temple
militias fled persecution in Shou Lung and journeyed into the
mountains of what would become Tabot.

his son. The grandson becomes the second Emperor Chin and
announces "The Time of Sharing Meals." Temple militias are
outlawed and religious freedom encouraged. The Path of
Enlightenment remains the official religion.
- [Shou] The Imperial Capital moves from Hsi-Feng to Hai Sheng
(now renamed Kirin).
- [Tabot] An alliance of temple militias and lowland heathen citystates
defeats an invasion of Ho Dynasty Shou Lung troops at the
Battle of Tsagang. Following the battle the Peace Land Treaty
between the monasteries and the lowland city states creates the
land of Tabot.
- [Shou] The first recorded appearance of the Giants in Grey,
huge humanoid figures dressed in concealing grey cloaks and
accompanied by thick fog. A massive earthquake destroys the
province they are sighted in soon after their appearance.
- [Shou] The last of the Ho Dynasty is humbled before the armies
of the maritime Karatin Province. The warlord of that province
ascends the throne the first Emperor Chin of the Hai(Ocean)
Dynasty.
833 (1 Wa) {-417 DR}
- [Wa] When the Kasada line collapses for lack of an heir, the
regency is established while the search is commenced for a
suitable relative. The Goshukara line is finally chosen and the first
emperor of the Goshukara is enthroned.
835 (3 Wa) {-415 DR}
- [Wa] The regent Toda no Nagamori attempts to overthrow the
Emperor so as not to lose his power in the court. The conspiracy
is discovered and all the plotters are slain or captured. The
regent's family clan is scattered. Unable by custom to execute his
ex-regent, the Emperor orders his wu jen to devise the most
terrible fate they can conceive. They create the Cell of Perpetuity,
where Toda no Nagamori languishes to this day.

Emperor Tsuba. Upon leaving he promises to return with gifts
from the King of the Western Lands.
- [Tabot] Failed invasion of Tabot by Shou Lung.
- [Shou] The Giants in Grey sighted in the Imperial Compound.
- [Shou] The first Emperor Chin and his household die from the
Ivory Plague. The emperor's young grandson survives, as does
the emperors sister. She masquerades as the emperor, aided in
this ruse by the bureaucracy and various good spirits until the
grandson is old enough rule. The emperor's sister then reveals
her true identity and flees the city, never to be seen again. Her
rule now recognized as that of the second Emperor Chin, and her
grand nephew, the third Emperor Chin of the Hai dynasty. From
this time on, if no male heirs are of age, it is custom for an able
female heir to rule until a male heir comes of age. The ruler is
referred to as emperor, regardless sex.
- [Tabot] The Ivory Plague forces Shou Lung to abort another
invasion of Tabot.

- [Shou] The capital is moved to Kuo Te'lung.
- [Tabot] An invasion by Shou Lung is intially very successful,
conquering all of northern Tabot. At the Battle of Lokar Pass the
Shou are defeated by the ragged Tabotan army backed by the
five magical Crystalline Warriors of Ji. The day is called "Crystal
Day" in Tabot and marked as a holy day in the monasteries.
- [Shou/Tu] Hu Ling Do writes his famous Hsao Chronicles. His
writings encourage a strong following of the Way in the south.
970 (138 Wa) {-280 DR}
- [Shou] Pirate activities in the Celestial Sea result in proclamation
by sixth Emperor Chin of the Hai Dynasty of the "Scattering of
Winds," demanding the warlords of Wa swear fealty to the
emperor. They refuse, the emperor begins massing his fleet.
- [Wa] The King of the Western Lands offends the Emperor of the
Jade Throne Gok~mi when his emissaries demand the obeisance
of all Wa. They brazenly suggest that the Emperor has
encouraged the activity of the wako who have been preying on
the Shou Lung coastline. Great Counselor of the Middle Nobunaga
orders all but one of the impudent emissaries executed. The sole
survivor is refused any reply and sent back to Shou Lung. The
chroniclers record this as the beginning of the Omi War.
972 (140 Wa) {-278 DR}
- [Wa] Hearing reports that the King of the Western Lands is
amassing a fleet, the Great Counselor of the Middle Nobunaga
begins preparations for the defense of Wa. The master ninja
Fukio is dispatched to Shou Lung to report and be ready to strike.
The coastal cities are fortified and a grand program of castle
building is begun. These activities all place huge demands on the
Imperial Treasury, and Nobunaga in turn places more and more
of the burden on the local chieftains (promising land and reward
when the war is over).
973 (141 Wa) {-277 DR}
- [Wa] Eye of the Law Kaian sees the Palace of the Sea Lord in
the deeps off Komei Bay. There he instructs the Lord of the
Ocean towards the Path of Enlightment.
975 (143 Wa) {-275 DR}
- [Shou] Multiple attacks against various strongholds of Wa result
in the capture of the north and south. The sixth Emperor Chin
moves against center with land armies and the coaltion of his
fleets.
- [Wa] The Omi War begins in earnest as the King of the Western
Lands invades Wa with his fleet of 100,000 ships. The
fortifications of Nobunaga are strongest across the central part of
Wa and these areas resist the invasion. However, the daimyo of
the north and south, angered at Nobunaga's heavy taxation,
betray their garrisons to the invaders. Shou Lung soldiers begin to
march overland on the capital. In the north, only Nakamaru
remains uncaptured, due to the cunning of General Yoshibei.
Shou Lung forces settle in for a long sedge of the fortified manor
that forms the city's main defence.

- [Shou] Death of the sixth Emperor Chin and his court in the
battle of Wa. While the land forces overrun the Wa forces, the
emperor's fleet runs aground on reefs hidden by the
dweomercraft of the opposing lords' wu jen. The ship's pilot, a
man named Rourke, recovers the emblems of Imperial Authority,
but is slain upon return to the Imperial City. The Emblems
disappear and Black Cycle of Years begins.
- [Wa] The wu jen Kira and a confederation of sorcerers cunningly
prepare a trap for the King of the Western Lands Chin, who is
aboard his royal flagship. Through their spells they conceal a
dangerous reef from all aboard. Driven forward by a summoned
storm, the flagship breaks up on the rocks. Before the Emperor
Chin's wu jen can whisk him away to safety, the ninja Fukio, in
disguise and aboard the ship for two years, strikes. The Emperor
Chin is slain. Almost immediately the most powerful Shou Lung
generals leave Wa to battle for the Shou Lung throne. The Shou
Lung forces are plunged into leaderless confusion. Fukio
disappears in the shipwreck. Some claim he is dead, while others
say Kira rewarded him with prolonged life and great powers for
his services.
976 (144 Wa) {-273 DR}
- [Wa] General Yoshibei breaks the siege of Nakamaru and
reconquers the province. The Shou Lung governor of the north
offers a truce with Yoshibei. Cut off from land communication
with the south, Yoshibei accepts the truce and sets himself up as
Sengokudaimyo (warlord) of the province. For the next 100 years
or so, the island of Wa is wracked by sporadic warfare. At first it
is between the nobles of Wa and the Shou Lung governors.
Although the nobles are able to drive the governors and their
troops back, they never fully defeat them. The men of Shou Lung
recruit new troops from the countryside and defend their lands.
With time they adopt more and more of the ways of Wa, until
they are almost indistinguishable from their subjects. By the time
the Emperors of Shou Lung return, their governors owe more
allegiance to the Emperor and daimyos of Wa than they do to the
Emperor of Shou Lung.

- [Shou/Tu] The Cycle of Black Years. In T'u Lung, this was
marked by continual invasions from the south, incursions by petty
lords from the north, blights, floods on the Fenghsintzu, and crop
failures. Only regions where the local feudal lords remain in
power retain some semblance of order. It is from these feudal
lords that the barons of the south take their mandate to rule.
Here is the first mention in records of the Wai and Yang clans,
which were to shape the recent history of the nation of T'u Lung.
- [Shou] The Giants in Grey are reported throughout the known
empire. Crops fail as a blight strikes the coastal lowlands.
- [Shou] A criminal family in Kai Shan seizes control of their city,
declaring their own sovereignty. Such city-states are common in
the Black Cycle, but Kai Shan survives semi-independent to this
day, as it aided and supported Wo Mai, a noble from a
neighboring province, in his adventures.
- [Shou] The Impossible Palace of the Silver Domes reappears for
a period of two weeks, then disappears.
- [Shou] End of the reign of the Copper Demon of Tros, who held
a large section of the west in his thrall for eight years, ruling the
land in a brutal fashion. The beast is slain by the Seven Heroes
and the Seven Nonmen. Wo Mai is reported as one of the Heroes.
c1025-1100: {-225 to -150 DR}
1025 {-225 DR}
- [Hordelands] The fall of the Copper Demon of Tros marks the
resurgence of the Shou. The Northern Kalmyks become a vassal
state of the Shou, as do Khazari, Solon, and Semphar. The
Southern Kalmyks, now called the Suren, continue to resist but
are steadily pushed west where they struggle against the realm of
Raumathar.
- [Shou] The Black Cycle of Years ends with the coronation of Wo
Mai, a noble claiming descent from Nung Fu himself. Wo Mai
recovers the Emblems of Imperial Authority from the crypts
beneath the Imperial City, rallies the armies and other nobles,
and crushes the rebellious outlying provinces. Wo Mai becomes
the first Emperor Chin of the Kao (High) Dynasty.

Wa." Wa survived the Black Cycle in a state of guerilla warfare
against stranded Shou Lung governors. Orders are given to pacify
and redirect the population in Shou Lung ways.
- [Wa] Shou Lung forces return to Wa and begin the reconquest
of the island. At first the new invaders attempt to command the
old Shou Lung families still on the island. These families quickly
discover that they lose power and importance under the new
arrangement. Most refuse to cooperate and side with the various
daimyo of Wa. Resistance is spirited but essentially futile. A
century of warfare has destroyed the government of Wa, leaving
the Emperor and the Great Ministers as little more than
figureheads. Distrustful of and uncooperative with each other, the
daimyo are easily broken by the organized forces of the invaders.

- [Hordelands] Narfell and Raumather destroy each other in "The
Great Conflagration". The Suren take advantage of this to drive
the Raumatharans from the Steppe. Continuing their advance, the
barbarian horde overwhelms most of modern Narfell before they
are stopped.
- [Shou/Tu] Descendents of the Ho Dynasty living in T'u Lung
refuse to house the Emperor's troops and take control of the
coastal city of Ausa. Shou troops spend four months reducing the
city's defences and another two years tracking down and
defeating the clan leaders. By imperial decree, most of the Ho
clan is slain. Some members survive and reestablish the clan.
Shou atrocities during this uprising were widely spread among the
barons and population.

1501 (669 Wa) {251 DR}
- [Shou] The Wa warlords overthrow the rulership of their Shou
Lung governors, destroying many things Shou Lung in the
ensuing rebellion. Civil war rocks the island for more than 200
years before a stable government emerges, but the various petty
warlords of Wa present a unified front against the "outland
invaders."
- [Wa] The Shou Lung are finally driven out of Wa by Nitta
Shogoro, the Hidden Shogun. In the midst of the final battle, the
Giants in Gray are seen watching the carnage. Shogoro proclaims
this as a sign of doom for the Emperor Chin. After the victory,
there is growing contention among the victors as Shogoro's sway
over them weakens. By the end of the year the government has
split into several factions.
1502 (670 Wa) {252 DR}
- [Wa] Nitta Shogoro attempts to force the Empress
Bishakammon to name him regent of Wa. His move is thwarted
when the Great Minister of the Left refuses to recognize him and
declares his support for the Empress' youngest son. The capital is
divided into two camps and violent skirmishing breaks into open
warfare.
1503 (671 Wa) {253 DR}
- [Shou] The twelfth Emperor Chin of the Kao Dynasty, faced with
defeat in Wa, declares "The Unleashing of Shackles." Wa is
recognized as an independent state, and the tattered remains of
the Shou Lung Regiment of the Grey Blossom are withdrawn from
Wa. Many monuments are erected in the capital declaring the
wondrous nature of the emperor as the sage emancipator of
noble foreign peoples.
- [Wa] Emissaries from the Twelfth Emperor Chin of the Kao
Dynasty arrive with a proclamation declaring Wa as fellow states
of Shou Lung and further lifting the burden of tribute from the
inhabitants of that land. Further proclamations grant citizenship to
any person of Wa wishing to settle in Shou Lung, provided that
person can demonstrate Shou Lung ancestry. Trade agreements
are also reached allowing for open ports between the two lands.
Nakamaru is named as one of these and the Empress allows the
establishment of a small Shou Lung community there. It is
carefully guarded and watched, as the governor, a descendant of
General Yoshibei, does not want the return of Shou Lung
occupation. The commander of the Grey Blossom regiment
petitions the governor for permission to remain in Wa. He has
little desire to return to Shou Lung as the commander of a
defeated army. Many of his men also petition to remain. These
requests are granted and the Grey Blossom mercenary regiment
Page 117 de 123

is founded. Initially it is in the service of the governor of
Nakamaru.
- [Shou/Tu] The Nights of the Screaming Demons, a six-day span
when major cities along the Fenghsintzu River are visited by
great, roaring spirits that chase people from the streets. The next
morning, several prominent bureaucrats are discovered missing.
Those missing were noted for their incompetence and corruption,
so their passing was noted only to make the other bureaucrats
more responsive to the people's needs. The autobiography of a
H'sin-to crime lord, published in 1545, links the Black Leopards to
the Screaming Demons, but no other mention is made.
1562 (7/25) {312 DR}
- [Kozakura] The korobokuran hero, Poiyopepoen, leads the

- [Kozakura] Under the guidance of Prince Sanetomo, the Prime
Minister, Emperor Sentai begins the Great Land Reforms. Much

result is the strengthening of Prince Sanetomo's family, the
Honda.

Priests of the Path of Enlightenment are dispatched to the far
reaches of the globe, setting up shrines as far away as Kozakura.
(In Kozakura, the faith is known as the Way of Enlightment, much
to the mutual embarrassment of Shou Lung followers of the Path
of Enlightenment, and its rival faith, the Way).

husband, Toakimi. The northern rebels established a separate
capital at Senita. The northern court survives for 68 years. During
this time 3 emperors are proclaimed by the rebels: Sagi (11/54),
Gosagi (12/46), and Ouizu (12/59).

southern barbarians overruns the Wetpeng garrison and Kahgang
Su. For the first time local forces outnumber those loyal to the
emperor in the armies repelling the invasion. The invasion ends
suddenly and the barbarian forces retreat. The cause of the
retreat is unknown, but guessed to be the death or other loss of
the barbarian's charismatic leader. Many of the clan militias and
mercenary forces formed during this invasion remain in place
after this time.

- [Kozakura] The Konjo school is introduced to Kozakura.
- [Shou] The last ruler of the Kao Dynasty and his family perish in
a fire that sweeps the old Imperial City. His third cousin Ton Bor
becomes the first emperor of the La (Wax) Dynasty. The reigns of
this emperor and those that follow in his dynasty are controlled
by rival factions and secret societies, and the name of the dynasty
has been given to it by the successor Kuo Dynasty to reflect the
malleability of its rulers. (Its own name was Yin [Silver], but that
name has been eradicated from all tomes in the empire, and only
survives in records in Kozakura and other lesser states.)
- [Shou/Tu] The Yang clan takes control of the Tyu Ton garrison,
replacing Shou troops with those loyal to Yang. There is
widespread feeling that the La Dynasty is insufficient for the task
of controlling an empire, and most garrisons are infiltrated by
secret societies, including the Black Leopards, who make a
resurgence during this time.

wastrel and vagabond, he is never beaten in a duel. Shortly
before his death, it is said he achieved his ultimate goal, making
the perfect weapon, infusing it with the very essence of his life. It
is the Breath-Floating-Sword and it has never been found.

- [Wa] Hidegari legusa sails from Wa with a fleet of 1,000 ships.
He lands on the southwestern tip of Shinkoku and immediately
secures the provinces as a base of operations. Initial resistance to
the invasion is thwarted when Hidegari persuades several daimyo
of the area to join his army. The winter season forestalls further
reinforcements from Wa and conquest stalls in the south. By the
next spring, the Kozakurans have stabilized the front and no more
progress can be made. Iegusa appoints the Nakori, Tokuma, and
Tsuburaya families as governors of the conquered provinces.
Raiding continues along the border for many years. Hidegari
legusa returns to Wa.(note dating discrepency)

by Honda no Mototsune. During a fierce storm that Hidegari's
sorcerers are unable to control, a bloody hand-to-hand battle is
fought. His ship ablaze and his men dead or dying, Hidegari's ship
disappears into a sudden fog. Thereafter, his gruesome ghost
ship is said to be seen on occasion by sailors.(note dating

southern provinces of Shinkoku. After several months of warfare,
the Nakori clan is forced to retreat to Wa. At the same time Shiro
Tokuma deserts his command, a blot which hangs over his
descendants for the centuries that follow. Likewise stained is the
Shinkoku branch of the Tsurabaya who are forced to swear
allegiance to Honda no Mototsune.(note dating disceprency)
2161 (17/24) {911 DR}
- [Kozakura] An invasion fleet from Wa commanded by Hidegari
Iegusa lands on the southwestern tip of Shinkoku, conquering
several provinces. The shogunate organizes a counterattack, but
the effort is hampered by the defection of several southern lords.

progress. Raiding along the borders of the occupied provinces
becomes a common practice of the Kozakuran families in the
area.(note dating discrepency)
2172 (17/35) {922 DR}
- [Kozakura] Hidegaris Iegusa attempts to break the deadlock in
the Southern War by invading the Dai plain from the sea. The
regent, Honda no Mototsune, launches a force onto the Inland
Sea. In the midst of a great storm raised by Mototsune's
sorcerers, the two navies meet. For two days a fierce hand-tohand
battle rages across the decks of over 300 ships. In the end,
his ship ablaze and most of his men dead, Iegusa refuses to
surrender or leave his ship. With Iegusa dead and his army
broken Mototsune begins the recapture of the occupied southern
provinces.
2173 (17/36) {923 DR}
- [Kozakura] The Great Hunt begins in the southern provinces. As
the survivors of Iegusa's naval expedition return to their
conquered territories, fell creatures and oppresses peasents exact
a horrible revenge on the stragglers. Many villages overthrow
their oppressors and proclaim their freedom. As Mototsune's army
arrives, many of these communities refuse to give up their
independence. Mototsune savagely destroys these rebellious
hyakusho (non-samurai classes), leaving a wake of devastation
behind him.

- [Shou/Tu] Wai Fu Hong leads a group of cities in revolt against
imperial taxes. Instead of reprisal, the throne negotiates,
concentrating instead on not spreading the news of the revolt. T'u
Lung nobles (as they think themselves now, a separate entity
from the corrupt northerners) are encouraged by the perceived
weakness of the imperial court.
2285 (19/28) {1035 DR}
- [Kozakura] Prompted by the weakness of the imperial court the
Hojo family precipitates the Tennu War. The country splits

- [Shou/Tu] Last Emperor of the La Dynasty takes ill, but refuses
to name an heir to the throne, fearing that he might meet an
untimely end if he did. The southern lords begin mobilizing their
armies and those remaining southern garrisons loyal to the Shou
are overthrown.
- [Shou/Tu] The seventh and last emperor Chin of the La Dynasty
dies without recognizing either son as heir. The provincial armies
and bureaucrats favor Shin Lu, while the southern nobles and
courtiers back the malleable Shin Gisen. War breaks out and the
La Castle and the new Imperial Capital are burned.
- [Shou/Tu] The Battle of Crimson Wheat. Shin Ginsen's forces
are destroyed, but the victorious Shin Lu's forces are too weak to
pursue. Lu returns to the old capital with the Emblems of Imperial
Authority and becomes the first Emperor Chin Kuo (Nation)
Dynasty. His first directive is to offer to supporters of Ginsen "The
Choice of Blades' or flee to the south to the stronghold by Shin
Ginsen's nobles. Most chose to flee south.
- [Shou] Shin Ginsen is proclaimed Emperor in Chia Wan Ch'uan,
and recognized as the first Emperor of the Lui (Green) Dynasty.
Shou Lung attempts to put down the uprising fails, in the first of
Page 119 de 123

the Uncountable Wars between the two countries, which continue
for the next 250 years.
- [Tu] Shin Ginsen is made the first emperor of the Lui Dynasty,
forming the respected nation of T'u Lung. Shou Lung forces
invade T'u Lung but are repulsed. Shou Lung calls these invasions
over the next 250 years the Uncountable Wars, but T'u Lung
refers to them as the Major Incursions of The Northern Barbarians
in their texts. The writings out of the T'u Lung provinces from this
point on refer to Shou Lung as a corrupt empire on the verge of
internal collapse. The powerful families in T'u Lung, backing the
new emperor, are the Tan, Ho, Wai, and Yang families. They
extend their power over the next 40 years.
2317 {1067 DR}
- [Tu] In order to repel the Shou invaders, Emperor Lui (Shin
Ginsen) appeals to the secret societies, declaring an amnesty for
those organizations that had been previously banned by the Shou,
provided they send troops to help in the First Incursion. The
combined force, called "The Might of the South," routes the
northerners at the Battle of Feng Wa Crossing and the Stand of
Ninto. The Black Leopard Cult, while neither the largest nor the
most popular force on the field, is well represented.
- [Tabot] The High Lord of Oceans, a six year old boy, single
handedly overthrows the nobles of Tabot and establishes the
government as it is known today. The nobles are stripped of their

of Oceans, composed of one monk and 3 lay peasants. the High
Lord of oceans ruled for 82 years, then chose a worthy successor

country is unified under a shogun.
- [Tu] In order to strengthen the ties between the emperor and
the barons, Emperor Shin Ginsen marries his eldest daughter,
Shin Do, to the scion of the Wai Clan, Wai Long Hwa. The
festivities were scheduled for high summer but were pushed back
by the 15th Incursion, so the wedding occurred in the winter, an
unlucky time according to court seers.
- [Tu] Shin Ginsen dies in a hunting accident. His son, Shin
Rokan, becomes the second emperor of the Lui Dynasty. Shin
Rokan proves to be a less capable commander than his father, for
while he blunts the Shou attacks in the 16th Incursion at the
Battle of the Blood Plains, he loses a significant portion of the
northern territories in the process. The various baronial clans
rumble in dissent.
- [Tu] Shin Rokan proposes to remove the power of the armies
from the barons, increase taxes to pay for the new forces, and
demand of all an oath of loyalty to the Lui dynasty above all. He
is assassinated by Wai Long Hwa, who proclaims himself
Emperor. The Ho and Tan families form an alliance and secede,
as does the Yang Clan. This is the beginning of the "Three
Kingdoms" period of T'u Lung history There are fewer Shou Lung
incursions during this period as the corrupt northerners send
diplomatic missions to first one, then the other, then the third
kingdom, hoping to weaken all and eventually reabsorb them into
the Shou empire.
- [Shou] Shin Lu dies after 70 years on the throne, and is given
the deific name of Ying (Eagle). Shin's son becomes the second
Emperor Chin.
- [Tu] The hated Shin Lu, emperor of Shou Lung, dies of old age.

- [Kozakura] The wu jen Ch'u tei Zao and Goboro the Lame
engage in a murderous duel of sorcery. So great are their powers
that one stands atop Mount Kaza and the other on the
neighboring peaks of Dagoryama. For an entire the sky in the
area is changed to a horrid violet-green. The villages, fields, and
forest between the two are burned to cinders. The 237-year-old
feud apparently ends with the climatic explosion of the peak of
Mount Kaza. The site is now called Broken-Dish-Mountain for the
shape of the remaining mount. No bodies are found, so it is
difficult to say if the feud ended or is postponed.
- [Tu] The Three Kingdoms are reunited. Wai Long Hwa is
officially recognized as the third emperor of the Lui Dynasty. The
Ho and Tan families are defeated in the war, though still
powerful. The Yang family is given autonomous control of its
lands in a diplomatic settlemeet. The Maki Clan, a group of
upstart barons, gains power during this time by supporting Wai.
- [Tu] The third emperor demands an oath of loyalty to the
throne and to the barons who support it, and taxes heavily to
support his rebuilding programs.
- [Tu] The 29th Incursion of the Shou Lung. During this incursion
the city of Balanzia is attacked and its walls breached for the sixth
time. Incurring an ancient curse, the inhabitants of the city go
mad and abandon the city.

- [Wa] The Tokiryo War is fought. Although only a short skirmish
in this long period of warfare, it marks the beginning of the rise of
the Matasuuri clan. By the end of the war, the Matasuuri and the
Loyal Families have conquered the small provinces of the north.
However, the various lords still do not cooperate towards further
ends. The Matasuuri begin a slow effort to unite the north.
- [Tu] Wai Long dies in his sleep and is succeeded by his son, Wai
Long Sun, the fourth emperor in the Lui Dynasty.
- [Tu] Jo He Ting, a potter of Chedoru, creates a set of magic
bowls for the imperial court. These eight bowls bestow clear
thought on those who eat from them, but only for an hour after
they are used.
- [Tu] The bowls provide no protection from poison, however, and
Wai Long Sun dies after eating poisoned rice from the bowls while
seeking an answer to the problem of what to do about ambitious
relatives. Wai Long Sun's cousin, Wai Chu Doang, becomes the
fifth emperor of the Lui Dynasty. He uses the oath of loyalty to
raise large, powerful armies, both to contain the baronial clans
and to fight Shou Lung. His heavy-handed military solutions to
domestic problems earn his reign the name "The Law of Fists."
- [Shou] The third Emperor dies and is given the deific name
(Panther). He is succeeded by his wife, who rules as the fourth
Emperor Chin until his son comes of age.

- [Shou] The fourth Emperor steps down and retires to a
monastery. Upon her death 30 years later she is given the deific
name Yeh (Nightingale). Her son becomes fifth Emperor Chin.
2444 (22/7) {1194 DR}
- [Kozakura] The career of Ichi the Highwayman ends in his
death.
2456 (1624 Wa) {1206 DR}
- [Shou] The fifth Emperor Chin distinguishes himself in battle
against pirates of the Celestial Sea, sacking several havens of the
pirates, including the one located on Akari. Wa, also hurt by
pirate raids, recognizes Shou Lung claims to small islands in the
Celestial Sea.
- [Wa] Pirate activity in the Celestial Sea has become quite
troublesome after several years of petty raiding. Approached by
envoys of Shou Lung, the Shogun agrees to a joint expedition
against the wako. The Shogun's contribution is limited since the
wako are unofficially protected by Wa nobles. To appease the
Fifth Emperor Chin of the Lui Dynasty the Shogun signs over
several small islands in the sea south of Wa.
2469 {1219 DR}
- [Tu] The 41st Incursion. Wai Chu Doang leads his troops in the
Battle of Tan. They are routed, and the emperor is chased into
the Thai Salt Flats and slain by Shou assassins. Wai Chu Cor, the
emperor's only son, turns back the incursion, but dies of wounds
suffered in the Battle of Steaming Horses before he can ascend
the throne. Wai Chu Doang's grandson, Wai Juku A'ti, becomes
the sixth emperor of T'u Lung.
2479 (1647 Wa) {1229 DR}
- [Wa] The Matasuuri clan, having consolidated several of the
smaller provinces of the north, is offered the opportunity to ally
with the Makino clan, who are at this time the most powerful
daimyo of Wa. The pact is sealed and under the generalship of
Matasuuri Shogoro the process of unification is begun. The
Matasuuri become the strong right arm of the Makino.
2484 (22/47) {1234 DR}
- [Kozakura] Dorumiji Monastery destroyed by hostile sohei.
2493 (1661 Wa) {1243 DR}
- [Wa] Upon the instructions of Matasuuri Shogoro, Makino
Mansaku, the power of the Makino clan is struck down by ninja.
Matasuuri begins the Summer March on the capital. Upon
reaching a plain outside of Tomo, the Matasuuri army is faced by
a coalition of other daimyo. The battle goes badly for the
Matasuuri and they are forced to retreat behind the defences of
Tomo. The enemy lays siege to the town.
2494 (1662 Wa) {1244 DR}
- [Wa] Matasuuri Shogoro manages to convince the daimyo of
southern Wa to march on the lands of the central daimyo who are
currently besieging him at Tomo. The enemy is distracted and
weakened, enabling Shogoro to bring in reinforcements and break
the siege. He spends the rest of the summer consolidating his
position in the Tomo region.
2495 (1663 Wa) {1245 DR}
2500 {1250 DR}
- [Wa] In the middle of winter, Matasuuri Shogoro makes the
unprecedented move of beginning a campaign. Catching his
enemies off-guard, he reaches the capital in force and demands
his recognition as shogun. Armed with his official title, Shogoro
persuades many daimyo to ally themselves with him. He faces his
last major resistance at the battle of Shido Plain. Although there
are several years of campaigns after this, Wa is officially
considered under the rule of the new shogun.
- [Shou] The fifth Emperor Chin dies in a hunting accident. His
grandson becomes the sixth Emperor Chin. The deceased

emperor is given the deific name Yeh T'u (Hare), giving rise to
speculation that he was assassinated by a jealous relative.
- [Tu] Wai Juku A'ti dies when an evil spirit steals his soul. Shou
Lung wu jen are suspected, and Shou natives are persecuted,
though later evidence indicates that a rival family or cult was
responsible. The eldest son, Wai Chi Con, dies in a sailing
accident soon afterward, and the second son, the weaker Wai Lo
Yan, becomes the seventh emperor of T'u Lung. Wai Lo Yan is
young and sickly, taken to fevers and fits for most of his reign.
Court politicians and baronial clans prosper through intrigue
during this period.
- [Shou] The sixth Emperor Chin dies of old age, and is given the
deific name Ch'uan (Dog) for his faithful service to the memories
of his forbearers. His son becomes the seventh Emperor Chin.
- [Tu] Wai Lo Yan proves to be one of the most long-lived and
competent of the Lui Dynasty, lasting 44 years before passing on
from a particularly vicious fever. His only direct descendent is a
daughter. Under tradition dating back to Shou Lung, the daughter
would be made emperor, but the T'u Lung nobles bristle at the
thought. Instead, the daughter is made regent until Wai Gada
Sinzu, Wai Lo Yan's nephew (through a younger sister) comes of
age. The daughter was named Wai Yeh Ying, but is only
remembered officially as Wai Lo Yan's Daughter in texts. Her
reign is called "The Regency."
- [Tu] Wai Gada Sinzu, the nephew, takes the throne as the
eighth emperor of the Lui Dynasty. Wai Yeh Yin disappears soon
after. Diplomatic overtures with Shou Lung are made, stabilizing
the border and ending the major incursions (though armed forces
of the Shou continue to invade, usually seeking criminals of the
state who flee south to sanctuary). The Shou consider these wars
to be uncountable, but T'u Lung official histories identify no fewer
than 74 separate invasions (Shou Lung scholars dispute these
figures).
- [Shou] The seventh Emperor Chin dies mysteriously in his sleep.
He is given the deific name Hsiao (Owl). His son becomes the
eighth Emperor Chin of the Eighth Dynasty of Shou Lung.
2586 (1754 Wa) {1336 DR}
- [Wa] Matasuuri Nagahide becomes the new shogun. Foreign
traders are ordered to leave the country. Unauthorized interaction
with foreigners is declared illiegal.
2587 (1755 Wa) {1337 DR}
2588 {1338 DR}
- [Wa] Government forces slaughter thousands at Juzimura
Castle, which had been seized by a coalition of displaced ronin
and radical worshippers of Chauntea. After the seige is broken,
the government denounces Chauntea as an illegal deity. Worship
of Chauntea is declared an offence punishable by execution.
- [Horse Plains] Yamun Khahan of Clan Hoekun conquers the
Commani tribe, beginning his rise to power.
2589 (1757 Wa) {1339 DR}
- [Shou] The Eighth Emperor Chin announces the "Gathering of
Pearls" as a goal of his reign. Plans are set in motion to recover
lost artifacts and books. Excavations begin in cities that have
been noted as capitals. Old territories to the north and west are
brought back under imperial control. Contacts with Wa and
Kozakura are expanded. The nobles of T'u Lung fear that this is
an attempt to isolate their nation in the world.
- [Wa] New contacts are made between the countries of Wa and
Shou Lung. Restrictions limitting contact with foreigners are
Page 121 de 123

somewhat relaxed. The port city of Akkaido expands foreign
trade.
- [Tu] The perfidy of the Shou is revealed when their emperor
declares the "Gathering of Pearls," at first glance a gathering of
knowledge, but in reality a subtle attempt to further isolate T'u
Lung from the rest of the civilized world. In response, T'u Lung
opens its doors to traders and establishes diplomatic missions to
Tabat, Wa, and Kozakura.
- [Koryo] The King of Silla conquers the neighboring kingdoms of
Koguryo and Saishu, uniting the Choson penisula.
2592 (24/35) (1760 Wa) {1342 DR}
- [Wa] A bitter feud between Funada Toragi and Funada Kazuo
erupts, reaching a bitter conclusion. Lord Kazuo contrives
evidence that his brother is planning to support a nephew of the
shogun in a coup. The shogun orders Toragi and several other
lords executed and exiles his nephew to the Island of One
Thousand Pines. The coup, while it had been discussed, was far
from a reality at the time.
- [Kozakura] The Hojo War begins.
2598 (24/41) {1348 DR}
- [Kozakura] The Battle of Norinoshima ends the Hojo War with
the defeat of the Hojo forces.
2599 {1349 DR}

the Ko family with the task of turning Akari Island into a maritime
colony and forward base for his Magnificent and Just Majesty's
Fleet.
2601 (1769 Wa) {1351 DR}
- [Wa] The shogunate orders daimyos to raise the moral
standards in their provinces. Known and suspected adulterers are
executed, waitresses are banned from teahouses, and luxury
items are forbidden to the lower classes.
2602 (1770 Wa) {1352 DR}
- [Tu] After the birth of two daughters (who cannot take the
throne, save as regents), Wai Gada Sinzu's wife gives birth to
twin sons, named Wai Anku and Wai Soreti. Various factions,
families, and cults begin taking sides, sending gifts to one son or
the other.
- [Shou] The events of OA6 take place.
- [Shou] Mysterious warriors from the jungle raid the province of
Chu' Yuan. When the province's Governor Kawabi is unable to halt
the raids the Emperor sends General Goyat Nagumo to aid him.
Later in the year General Nagumo and Governor Kawabi fight a
pitched battle, Governor Kawabi flees to the south and General
Nagumo follows him. Taking their armies with them they
disappear from Shou Lung and are not heard from again.
- [Wa] The events of OA7 take place.
- [Wa] The Fochu peninsula is plagued by yellow clouds tainting
the atmosphere and yellow poison fouling the waterways. The
taint is traced to the machinations of a powerful Wu jen named
Za-Jikku, but his plot is foiled by a band of brave gaijen heroes.
- [Horse Plains] Yamun Khahan turns his armies on the caravans
of the Golden Way.
2604 {1354 DR}
- [Koryo] The King of Silla musters a fleet to invade the hated
Kozukurans. His fleet is destroyed by a tsunami, and the resulting
turmoil enabled one of his generals, Wanang Sun, to overthrow
him and unite the factions of Choson into the Kingdom of Koryo.
2607 (24/50) (1775 Wa) {1357 DR}
-Kara-Tur Boxed set correct to this date.

- [Wa] The events of the adventure OA4 take place.
- [Kozakura] The events of OA1 take place.
- [Tu] An outpost of the Black Leopard Cult is found and
destroyed on Akari Island. This is believed to be an offshoot of
the sect founded by the high priest who escaped down the
Fenghsintzu river. When the news arrives in Pendir Chao and
H'sin-to, there are massive parades and demonstrations by
followers of the Black Leopard, who understand that a group of
Shou Lung merchants brought in outside mercenaries to destroy
the surviving cultists.
2608 {1358 DR}
- [Tu] The events of the adventure OA5 take place.
- [Kara-tur] Time of Troubles. For three months in the summer
magical and natural chaos ensues, none are able to divine the
cause. Then, suddenly, the chaos disappears, though it does
leave its mark in the form of wild and dead magic zones scattered
throughout the lands. Interestingly, during this period the
Temples are unable to contact the Immortals, and afterwords
none are willing to discuss this amazing event.
- [Kozakura] Following the Time of Troubles the Shikken,
Takenaka Okawa, refuses to step down when the young Shogun,
Hojo Kawabuko, turned 18. Instead he attempts to force the
young Shogun into early retirement. Dissatisfied with the
Shikken's performance during the Time of Troubles Okawa's
brother, Takenaka Sugawara, rejects the Okawa's plan and
musters his forces on the Shogun's behalf, the Shikken musters
his own forces. The two armies meet in Oie province, in the
subsequent battle Sugawara is victorious, and his armies march
towards Gifu. Sugawara was thwarted, however, when his brother
managed to secure the aid of Hojo Todahiro (the exiled shogun
from the Hojo war) and Gokammu, the Retired Emperor. After a
confused three day battle all of the factions retreat towards their
home provinces and a protracted civil war begins to fester in
Kozakura, with no faction able to gain a significent military or
diplomatic advantage. Kozukura thus passes into chaos.

Narfell and Raumathar
NARFELL
RAUMATHAR
A Brief History
Occupying the land at the foot of the Great Glacier, Narfell was a
great and cruel empire whose leaders made dark pacts with
creatures from other planes. Their chief rival was Raumathar, and
the two destroyed each other in battle a thousand years ago. The
horsemen who occupy the land now claim to be the descendants
of the last battle with Raumathar.
A great eastern empire that once included Rashemen and Thay,
Raumathar is two millenia old and almost a thousand years dead,
perishing in battle with its foe Narfell. Its people were known as
powerful battle-wizards.
The great empires of Narfell and Raumathar were warlike nations
that coalesced out of the migrating northern tribes that were paid
to fight as mercinaries in the Orcgate Wars. They had weapons of
iron (unlike the Mulhorandis' bronze ones) and soon developed
powerful magic of their own. They quickly subdued large tracts of
land, replacing the Mulhorandi culture with their own.
With the Great Glacier at that time enveloping all of Vaasa and
Damara in the west, covering Icelace Lake and the Teardrops,
and reaching to the Icerim Mountains in the east, the northwardmigrating
tribes found themselves limited in their choices; both
further westward and further northward travel was denied to
them.
It was at this time that the tribes, united in their desire to find a
new homeland, splintered. Rauthok, a charismatic and intelligent
man who had studied much of the Mulhorandi arts, persuaded
many of the tribes to follow him east across the great lake (Lake
Ashane), where he promised open land and warmer climes (which
he knew from studying Mulhorandi maps of the area). The other
tribes, still following their shamans and demonologists, opted to
stay where they were, attacking and enslaving many of their new
neighbors (the natives of the Great Dale).
The Narfellians quickly became the dominant power in the area,
as their mounted horsemen easily defeated their enemies (it has
been speculated that the Narfellians, if not the Raumatharans,
originate in the same southern area as the ancient Arkaiuns of
Dambrath. The similar horse strains would seem to support this
theory). After conquering the areas known today as Narfell, the
Great Dale, and Ashanath, they followed their former allies
eastward, pushing the Raumans (as the eastern tribes were now
calling themselves) before them, and conquering huge swathes of
the northern steppes.
At the Battle of Riualyn, the Rauman finally defeated the
Narfellian horsemen. The Rauman battlemages took center stage,
as their magics proved the deciding factor. Riualyn was a turning
point in the history of the Rauman, as they drove the Narfellians
back across the Ashane and established the mages as the ruling
class (up till this point in history, Rauman mages were mostly
practicing tattoo- and rune-magic, which are limited in both
power and effectiveness. It is unknown just how they gained their
mastery of more conventional magic - especially the schools of
invocation/evocation and conjuration/summoning - but many
scholars speculate that their knowledge came from the
northernmost ruins of the Imaskari, in the area of Priador).
After Riualyn, the Rauman soon capitalized on their success,
establishing the Raumathar Empire. This nation drove into the
Endless Wastes, eventually extending as far as Sossal in the north
and the Lake of Mists in the south. Their battlemages proved an
even match for the Narfellian horsemen and demonologists, and
the two powers settled into an uneasy period of empire. Although
separated by several natural barriers (including the Great Glacier,
the Ashane, and the Priador), the two empires clashed continually
in border skirmishes and raids.
The two early empires had a great effect on other peoples,
besides themselves. Many of the natives of the Great Dale, long a
subject people of the Narfellians, migrated west across the
Easting Reach where they fought the teeming goblin hordes in
the mountains, and later formed the peoples of Impiltur and the
Vast (many sages believe that a later wave of these peoples,
fleeing the imminent destruction of the two empires,crossed over
the Dragon Reach and became the ancestors of the Dalesmen).
In Raumathar, raids by the various nomad tribes of the steppes
were a constant problem (In later years, the Suren, in particular,
were a problem. Pushed out of Kara-Tur by the Kao, the Suren
expanded to the west and for years harried the eastern border of
Raumathar. When the final war between Narfell and Ramathar
occured, the Suren drove the Raumatharans from the steppe.
Continuing their advance, the barbarian horde even overwhelmed
most of modern Narfell before it was stopped). However, relations
and trade with the Sossarim to the north and the dwarves of the
easternly Firepeaks were more relaxed. In fact, the Raumatharans
had such a good relationship with the dwarves of the Firepeaks
that the stout folk were often seen in the cities and towns of the
Empire, and many of them fought in the army of Raumathar
(including the company led by Theodo Greataxe, famed in legend
as the ghosts of Dead Dwarf Bridge).
Perhaps the greatest effect the two empires had on a people was
that of the nation of Rashemen. This region, caught between the
two powers, spent many years as disputed ground. Armies of
both lands marched and retreated through Rashemen, and the
native Rashemi themselves developed a warrior culture while
fighting one or the other of the two warring states. Years after
the collapse of both Narfell and Raumathar, the Rashemi united
to form a new nation with the assistance of the mysterious
witches.
At thier height, both empires had many wondrous achievements,
especially in regards to architecture. Most traces of Narfellian
buildings are lost today, but several Raumatharan ruins still exist
today. (that these sites happened to survive would seem to point
to the Raumathari as prodigious builders, given the extent of the
devastation that affected the Wastes).
Eventually, Narfell and Raumathar escalated their border
skirmishes into all-out war with each other. It was a bitter and
bloody struggle, full of the tales of great heroes: Rauthok,
Jesthren, Halduplac, and many others whose names are lost to
the sands of time. The two empires held one final cataclysmic
battle and destroyed each other utterly. Netherworld fiends
fought against dragons, cities were burned, and in the end,
Narfell and Raumathar were no more.
Many contemporary historians are quick to judge Narfell the
"victor" in the war, for the land of Narfell still exists today as do
its' people (albeit in a more primitive form), whereas "Boundless
Raumathar" today has been blasted into the barren, forboding
land of the Endless Wastes. However, it should be pointed out
that descendants of the Raumatharai, the Raumvira, do live on; a
stocky, thick-bearded race that lives around the shores of the
Lake of Mists (especially in the city of Almorel), these people trace
their ancestry back to the fall of the Raumathar empire (although
the nomads who surround the Lake of Mists have had their effect,
too). As well, the Rashemi people exhibit these physical traits,
much more so than those of the Nar peoples.
