 * Circa: The dwarves of the Moonshae Isles go to war with Grond Peaksmasher's firbolgs. Grond is imprisoned in a glacier on Oman.


 * The Twelve Nights of Fire start on Midsummer, when a meteor and its castoffs destroy the elven realm of Uvaeren and its famous libraries. The fires burn for twelve nights and ultimately sever much of the forest from the main body of Arcorar (later Cormanthor).
 * The fires wipe out the trees on the mountains and hills, fully dividing Rystall Wood from Arcorar.
 * Imaskar is struck by a devastating and suspicious plague, which then spreads east into the Hordelands.


 * Uvaeren is wiped out, with the coronal and nearly all its noble houses killed in the impact or subsequent fires. A few people flee into the deep woods of Arcorar, and few dozen survive outside Uvaeren.
 * Despite Rystall Wood becoming a separate forest, its coronal remains in close contact with the leaders of the Elven Court.


 * Survivors of the demon-blooded sun elves of House Dlardrageth leave Arcorar and flee to Siluvanede.
 * Circa: Jhaamdathan settlers found the colony of Ankhapur.
 * Led by their chieftain Shemen, Raumviran tribesfolk settle the Lakelands which will eventually be known as Rashemen.
