- The realm of Ardeep is resettled and rebuilt by moon elf refugees from Eaerlann. They ally with the dwarves of the Forlorn Hills and humans living along the Delimbiyr, in an alliance called the Fallen Kingdom (the same name as Phalorm), but this quickly collapses owing to suspicions about human involvement in the fall of Ascalhorn.[2]
