Ancient History

Tens of thousands of years before the Era of Upheaval, the Sword Coast was dominated by the ancient elven kingdom of Illefarn.

During the Age of the Proud Peoples,circa -4974 DR, the dwarven realm of Haunghdannar emerged as a power of the Sword Coast. It remained active for over 1500 years before rapidly falling into decline for reasons lost to time.

The elves of land secured a great victory against the orc hordes when they routed the armies of Gluthtor in the Year of the Shattered Skulls, 225 DR. The battle was called Azirigol (Azz-ere-ri-gul),

Delimbiyran the Kingdom of Man arose within the northern lands of the Sword Coast during the early 6th century DR. It continued for nearly two hundred years until the Year of the Triton's Horn, 697 DR, when riots broke out across the cities, subsequently leading to the martyrdom of the Sharran priestess Lalondra and the assassination of King Davyd.

     The kingdom's dissolution saw the formation of numerous lesser realms and the founding of new cities and settlements

A devastating plague spread throughout the Sword Coast in the Year of the Scourge, 1150 DR. Worship of Talona soared in the wake of the disaster. The plague was called Krull-ick, the plague caused a creature's skull to bend inwards, causing pressure on the brain, as well as bouts of madness and terrible pain, and it was never discovered how it spread. The current magicks of the time, were unable to heal those inflicted.  Overall the care and organisation was pretty disastrous.

Those from long living cultures, such as elves, have fresh memories still.
