Known also as the Vyshaantar Empire[1], Aryvandaar was a sun elf kingdom that fell during the Fifth Crown War[2].
History
First Flowering
The first settlements of Aryvandaar were founded around −23,900 DR in the area later known as the High Forest.[3][4]
Control of Aryvandaar was gained by the clan Vyshaan in −15,300 DR, under the leadership of Coronal Ivosaar Vyshaan. The Vyshaanti of Aryvandaar claimed a family link to the ruling family of Miyeritar. They then attempted a peaceful annexation of Miyeritar which was resisted.[1][4][5]
First Crown War
Aryvandaar began the First Crown War by invading Miyeritar in −12,000 DR. They also put pressure on Shantel Othreier to accept their rule or suffer the same.[1][4][5] By −11,800 DR Aryvandaar had fully annexed and occupied Miyeritar though some parts continue to resist.[1][5][6] Miyeritar wasn't considered fully conquered until −11,300 DR. [1][5][6]
Third Crown War
In −10,900 DR Aryvandaar, now the Vyshaantar Empire, ceased talks with Shantel Otheier and invaded, starting the Third Crown War.[1][6][7] Around this time the Vyshaan lords gained a secret patron in Malkizid, a fallen solar.[1] The Battle of the Gods' Theater was fought in −10,700 DR, one of the greatest and bloodiest battles of the Crown Wars. Over 70,000 elves died as an orc horde fell upon the battling armies of Aryvandaar and Shantel Othreier. Aryvandaar was victorious and occupied the northern half of Shantel Othreier. Aryvandaar fully conquered Shantel Othreier in −10,600 DR, after the death of Coronal Ynloeth, ending the third Crown War. Following this, resistance movements sprang up in Shantel Othreier and neighboring Miyeritar. Shortly thereafter the Dark Disaster occurred, and Miyeritar was destroyed by its killing storms.[1][8][9] The histories written by the victorious Vyshaanti claim that Miyeritar was responsible. But in reality the high mages of Aryvandaar caused the killing storms.[10]
Aftermath
In −3533 DR, the Nether Scrolls were discovered by Finder[11], a Netherese human, within the area once controlled by Aryvandaar.[11][12]
Geography
Aryvandaar encompassed the High Forest, which in the days of the Crown Wars reached the River Dessarin.[2]
