Myth Drannor

Myth Drannor, formerly known as Cormanthor, the City of Songs, was once considered to be the most beautiful and largest of any of the cities in Faerûn. Unfortunately, the city has been in ruins for many years. The city was once protected by a device called a mythal which is one of the greatest spells in perhaps all of the Realms. The mythal is a protective spell which shields Myth Drannor from harm.

Cormanthor became known as Myth Drannor after the mythal was raised. It was during this time that Elminster visited the legendary elven city and became the first human to ever set foot in it. Coronal Eltargrim, the elected ruler of Cormanthor at the time, decided to open the elven realm to non-elven races in order to halt the slow decay of his civilization and prevent human armies from forcefully entering the city in the future. The mythal was raised to protect the city once the non-elven races were allowed to go there.

Myth Drannor was later overrun by the armies of three nycaloths after the nycaloths were inadvertently freed from their prisons beneath the city.
