Trinity

Three religious groups who followed Amaunator—the Keeper of Time and the Eternal Sun—migrated to this region in 1244 to escape persecution from the devotees of Shar. They began their first year here deciding to set their religious differences aside and concentrate on their similarities—creating a unique sect to serve their god. The bureaucracy and all other forces controlled by Amaunator were completely ignored here, making this a far more relaxed and socially conscious community than other Amaunator-controlled regions.

The Golden Age (1652-2653):

Ironically, Trinity existed at the base of a shrine to Jannath in the mountains to the west. Throughout the Golden Age, Trinity was inundated with the faithful of Jannath as they made their way up to the shrine. It was a profitable venture, however, and the nonstandard faithful of Amaunator welcomed their visitors.

Age of Discovery (2654-3163):

Fishing and some light farming continued to be the mainstay of the community throughout Netheril’s history, despite some rather moderate ore deposits found in the Shinantra Mountains. A few expeditions into the mountains to discover the strange, hairy creatures, the Sesquac, that lived up there proved pointless, and the Trinitians instead concentrated on building a large temple to Amaunator that was completed in 3022.

The Shadowed Age (3163-3519):

All throughout this age, strange portents and omens plagued the ruling priests of Amaunator’s temple, the Temple of Time. Dreams of storms, fires, and darkness plagued each potentate that took control of the religious icon. In 3420, the Temple of Time reflected light from its outside walls, becoming a beacon that could be seen for miles away. The light blinded passersby but did serve to illustrate the power of their patron. Despite the destruction of the Algid in 3374, the citizens of Trinity chose to remain in the city. As the year of the fall approached, however, the omens and portents visited upon the religious leaders of the temple began to spread throughout the community.

The Fall (3520):

As Netheril’s enclaves fell earthward, the glimmering Temple of Time ceased to glow. An eclipse darkened the skies and thunder and lightning replaced it. In a matter of hours, Trinity was deserted, evacuated under cover of darkness to lands farther south.
