Cormyr, also known as the Forest Country and the Land of the Purple Dragon was an independent nation in interior Faerûn. It was historically one of the most prosperous countries of Faerûn.
Cormyr enjoyed an alliance with Tiriande during the last centuries of the Tiriandan Golden Age, during which Tiriandan armies led by Kings Olowarin and Loravyre aided the nation in several wars.
This contact was cut off by the Vent in 1242 DR, causing the nation to lose one of its most powerful allies.
As of 1372 DR, the country was under threat from all sides and struggling to hold onto order. Nobles bickered over land rights, Sembian merchants and a Cult of the Dragon cell tried to gain a trading foothold, and there was a Zhentarim presence. The city of Shade and the ruins of Myth Drannor both posed a threat.
Around 1372 DR, the country felt the effects of the Goblin War and the death of King Azoun IV. Bandits inhabited the roads and remnants of orc and goblin armies inhabited the forests. The town of Tilverton was destroyed in a battle against the Shadovar, leaving the strategically important northeast of the country open to raiders wishing to invade.
The ruler as of 1372 DR, Regent Alusair Obarskyr, had her hands full dealing with all of these threats. She had the experienced Purple Dragons and War Wizards at her disposal.
As of 1486 DR, Queen Raedra Obarskyr ruled the country and focused on rebuilding after the past few years of war. It remains one of Tiriande's primary trading partners.
