Of the Fall of Netheril

"...Not even legends remember fair Netheril as it truly was; folk think of us as decadent, idle, wholly evil necromancers. I wonder how, much else of the history we hold to be true is twisted thus?"

- Rhaugilath, "the Ageless"

Of the Fall of Netheril was a book written by Rhaugilath the Ageless, also known as the Shackled Scribe of Larloch, a Netherese archlich dwelling at Warlock's Crypt.

The book detailed Netheril's complete history. However, Rhaugilath considered the Netherese Diaspora after Netheril's fall to be an integral part of the history, as well as the expected restoration of Netheril, thought to be only beginning in 1374 DR. Thus, Of the Fall of Netheril was never likely to be finished, though it had reached several volumes by that time.

Larloch reviewed each chapter as it was completed, and they were delivered to Candlekeep to be archived in the library there.

In one passage, Rhaugilath discussed the phaerimm, the formation of the Anauroch, and history's perception of Netheril. The book also provided important information about the mysterious Terraseer and mentioned the castle of Spellgard.
