Halruaan Wizard War

Military action

The mageocracy of Halruaa can no longer peacefully contain the drifting ideologies of the wizard elders. The established laws of magical safeguards were placed on themselves to prevent them from destroying themselves just as the great Netheril Empire did so long ago but growing numbers of wizard elders want to push for freedom of magical practices. The conflict arose from a secret faction of elders pushing arcane experiments that are too extreme even for the old Netherese Empire are eventually discovered. This leads to a magical civil war with each side fighting for control of the council of elders and Halruaa. The renegades were forced out of the kingdom and eventually, settled in time founding Thay.
