409 DR


 * The largest and longest battles between the Shoon Imperium and the beholders of the Lake of Steam since their invasion of Calimshan begin. These "Eye Battles" (as they come to be known) last for 21 years and are largely inconclusive until the great warrior Amahl Shoon VII sweeps through the region on his way to claim the throne from his grandmother's treacherous advisors. No beholder or beholder cultist openly controls any of the Arnaden cities when Amahl VII leaves.
