Background
In the, Iliphar dared to make camp in the Land of the Purple Dragon; now known as Cormyr. He was spotted by Thauglor, who ruled said land, but respectfully retreated, in awe of the great dragon's speed and grace.

Iliphar's powers in battle earned him the respect of the elven House Amaratharr after defeating the dragonkin of Thauglor on numerous occasions. In the, Iliphar and a small group of elves met with Thauglor and his two young witnesses, the blue Gloriankithsanus and red Mistinarperadnacles, in a parley. Iliphar challenged Thauglor to a Feint of Honor that would become known as The Passing of Power. Thauglor lost and the elves laid claim to the Forest Country.

In the, Iliphar brought his elven court to the settlement of Suzail and organized the coronation of Faerlthann Obarskyr, the first king of Cormyr. He appointed Baerauble Etharr as the advisor to the crown.

Possessions
Iliphar carried a golden staff twisted so it appeared like rope. It was topped by a purple stone carved into the shape of a bird. He wore a sash of various wands in individual sheaths ready for combat. When expecting combat, Iliphar wore a soft green cassock and a dark green cape, threaded with gold and amber. The cape's hem was inset with extremely sharp crystals, so it could be flung towards opponents to cause injury. Beneath this, he wore a silvery mail body suit. Iliphar carried a thin, whip-like blade.
