History
Cormyr used to be part of the woodland empire of Myth Drannor, where elves and dragons fought for dominance. The black dragon Thauglor was one of the prominent dragons, and contested the elven for the land. However, Thauglor was so old that his scales had begun to age and appear to be purple colored. The elven defeated the dragon Thauglor and took the land for themselves. It was from the purple tinged scales of the defeated Thauglor that the Purple Dragons took their name.
