 * By this time, the realm of Valashar (and with it the Shoon Empire) reaches the Troll Mountains and the High Moor in the north, following thirty-five years of expansion under King Ashar Tornamn. Ashar makes further claims on the northern lands, and expands toward the western border of Cormyr.


 * In response, King Azoun I launches a campaign against Valashar, destroying its armies on the Fields of the Dead. The Cormyreans go on to sack the city of Ithmong and countless garrisons. They drive Shoon Empire back to the Giant's Run Mountains. Lord Tornamn is executed.
