557 DR


 * A hobgoblin army causes much destruction across the dwarf duchy of Hunnabar. The hobgoblins are defeated by the forces of Phalorm, though the elf king of Phalorm is killed.
 * Yuan-ti sent by Nejizar infiltrate the Reaching Woods and incite the hobgoblin tribes there to attack Phalorm. The hobgoblins are driven back and the yuan-ti assassinated. The serpentfolk of Najara fall back into the Serpent Hills.


 * The Golden War in Var ends as Muwadeen of Estagund, a retired mercenary, negotiates peace between the warring factions. All three factions—noble, mercantile, and religious—surprisingly agree for once and invite Muwadeen to serve as the Supreme Potentate of Var, assisted by a council of advisers drawn their ranks.
