711 DR


 * The Weeping War begins as the Army of Darkness invades northern Cormanthyr on the Feast of the Moon. They battle many elf patrols and destroy a number of elven villages and clan enclaves, committing the Northern Massacres.
 * In late autumn, the Army of Darkness seizes mining and trading camps on western shore of the Moonsea (the site of latter-day Zhentil Keep).


 * Reacting to the Army of Darkness, senior members of the Ruling Council of Cormanthyr request Amara and Aolis Ildacer form a group of covert agents and spies called the N'Vaelahr, or "Shadow Soldiers".
