-170 DR


 * The Eye Tyrant Wars break out, as the beholders of the Arnaden war against Calimshan. Tethyr and Iltkazar ally with Calimshan against the beholders. The beholders take Almraiven, then Suldolphor, then finally control the Spider Swamp and the southern Forest of Mir. This largely blocks forces from western Calimshan from moving anywhere but directly into beholder-controlled bases.


 * The Knights of the Shield are formed to gather intelligence for Tethyr during the Eye Tyrant Wars.
