 * Agents of the Elven Court of Cormanthor make contact with the dwarves of Sarphil in the lands later known as the Vast. Desiring to maintain control over the forests there, the Elven Court wars against the dwarves to stop them expanding to the surface. The elves later save the dwarves from being defeated by orcs, and the two sides negotiate on the Vast's battlefields. They make a tenuous alliance, but it lasts 2000 years, and each prospers from the trade of goods and information.
