The History of Ardrim

The mass enslavement of nearly all of the elves after being banished from Arvandor after the Schism of the Seldarine.

The migration of the elves out of Arvyr and the subsequent founding of elvish nations, collectively known as the Thelnorei.

This was a period of time in which nearly all of the races of the world escaped Iudanth, sailing through the Cloaked Expanse for years in search of one of the final surviving settlements of the elves: Beogar.

The rising of the Dead Three, the former mortals Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul, to godhood upon "stealing" Jergal's power. In reality, Jergal simply manipulated the three into gaining his power due to his weariness of the position of God of Death.

The Tanar'ri, a race of demon created by the obyriths as slaves, revolted against their obyrith masters, killing many of them and inheriting the rule of the lands themselves. However, this weakened the abyssal forces as a whole, allowing for the First Desolation to take place.

After the First Desolation, the great silver dragon Agothar proposed that his fellow metallic dragons serve as regents for the kingdoms of Ardrim as they rebuild. These many kingdoms became known as the Agotharian Kingdoms, named for their visionary. These kingdoms included many, but not all, nations of Irinal.

At the end of the War of Rythkar, the territory of chromatic dragonborn that dominated the Kolkari Mountains dissolved as they fled the mountain range after suffering extreme casualties.

After the events of the Draconic Revolution, the Regents of the Agotharian Kingdoms concluded that they must step down from their seats of power and allow the lesser races of Ardrim rule themselves.

The Gith Civil War brought the searching Illithids to their former slaves, where they planned to capture them and enslave them once again. However, by the time the Mind Flayers arrived, the now split Gith had already retreated to Limbo or the Astral Sea, with the Illithid having no way of knowing their current location. It was this that caused Illithid to settle in the Underdark of Ardrim, returning to the land eons after the fall of their great empire that spanned the crystal spheres.

The crossbow was invented by the famous dragonborn inventor Alkur Salinis of Maenor. It would dramatically change warfare and would become an integral, if subtle, factor in the Great Desolation.

Titus Hauksworth, a human in modern-day Montelermo, worked throughout his life developing massive amounts of alchemical recipes and formulas. Some of these were mundane and others were arcane. He is credited with the invention of true healing potions, the practices for reliable infusion of spells into potions. Some others include the invention of sovereign glue, universal solvent, and various oils with special properties.

House Duergar was once a great Dulkarnithian house, with much wealth and power among the other Dulkarnithian Kingdoms. They were especially renowned for their military prowess, until they were defeated at the hands of the elves during the Kolkarine Wars. Once this had happened, they lost much of their past renown and turned inwards, redoubling their mining efforts. However, this allowed them to be captured and enslaved by the Illithid.
