Karsus's Folly
Disaster / DestructionThe Netherese archmage Karsus attempted to steal the knowledge and power of Mystral, the then goddess of magic. He succeeded in doing so but it forced Mystral to kill herself in order to save the Weave. For several moments thereafter, magic across the Realms faltered, causing the Netherese floating cities to plummet to the ground, thus ending their long lasting empire.

The Dale Reckoning
Political eventThe smattering of human settlers that huddled in small villages at the edges of Cormanthor and Cormanthyrian led by Coronal Eltargrim Irithyl came to an agreement known as the Dales Compact. The conditions of this pact gave the future-Dalesfolk non-forested, and non-elven claimed areas of land on which to settle and ceased any and all logging efforts deeper into the forest. Furthermore, the Standing Stone was erected as a monument to this new alliance between elf and man. This turning point in both civilizations also marked the beginning of the Dale Reckoning calendar for centuries to come.
