History
King Brinnaq led Amn in a period of expansion and mercantilism, becoming known as the realm's first "merchant king." In the, Brinnaq negotiated the Tejarn Purchase—buying the lands north of the Sulduskoon River and south of the Tejarn Hills from the cash-strapped kingdom of Tethyr. These lands would later include Riatavin, Trailstone, and other settlements.

He died in 694 DR and was succeeded by his son Esmel IV, only for his son-in-law Arbas to set about killing every male Torlath in Amn, including Esmel IV and his own son Esmar. The sole survivor was Jhanos I, who returned from abroad and reclaimed the throne the following year.
