 * Miyeritar suffers the Dark Disaster, and is left as a wasteland in three months. Most elves of Faerûn are left shocked and horrified, leaving a four-decade-long fearful peace amidst the Crown Wars.  Though history as written by the victors says otherwise, the High Mages of Aryvandaar are responsible.

 * Taark Shanat's eight sons each found their own kingdoms in the caverns beneath modern Tethyr and Amn. Following the sons' respective patron deities, each kingdom aligns itself with a particular dwarven deity.
