Tathtar

Tathtar was a small kingdom in the vicinity of the Deepwash, occupying territory in the Deepwing Mountains, Cloven Mountains, and the High Peaks. It was sometimes divided into two parts; Upper Tathtar, north of the Deepwash, and Lower Tathtar, to its south.

History
It was founded in 227 DR apparently as a human realm, though some accounts mentioned it as being mixed human and dwarven.

For the decade following 230 DR, Tathtar attempted to expand into eastern Tethyr, until the Tathtar Wars, which were a cause of irritation for Emperor Shoon IV, came to an end as the result of peace treaties.

Upper Tathtar was destroyed in 293 DR by an orc horde, though an account of drow destroying the dwarven realm over a decade earlier in 277 DR confuse the issue.

Lower Tathar was to survive for almost 500 years more, until it was finally destroyed in 796 DR by a plague caused by the vampire Shyressa.

Geography
The capital of Tathtar was disputed, sometimes thought to be Tulhaspyr, at other times Dajaan, and still others thought the southern capital to be Saalirk.

Much of the remnants of Lower Tathtar would become inhabited by Sala-min Lion Warriors, centered on the ruins of Saalirk, which also held numerous creatures, both magical and undead placed there by Shyressa, who made it her home. Wyverns from the Cloven Mountains were also noted to inhabit what remained of the crumbling ruins of the region.

Upper Tathtar lay mostly in the Deepwing Mountains, most noted for its flying predators such as griffons, hippogriffs, manticores, red dragons, and wyverns
