The Rage of Wizards was a conflict between two dozen ambitious archmages of Tashluta and Lapaliiya, who fought the yuan-ti of the Coiled Cabal in 1142 DR.[1]
Conflict[]
When the Coiled Cabal mages woke up in 1142 DR after a centuries-long sleep, they tried to take Sammaresh, before reconquering the rest of the Cities of the Seabreeze. Their actions drove two dozen scheming mages of Tashluta and Lapaliiya into action, however, and the two factions fought for a season, leaving a trail of destruction across the Tashtan coast.[1]
Aftermath[]
Neither the yuan-ti nor the archmages gained a single throne, in spite of the extensive destruction.[1] The temple of Umberlee in Ilyaport was destroyed during the conflict, which initiated the decline of the city; in the immediate aftermath of the Rage, the two ruling houses were joined, creating the position of the Overking of Lapaliiya.[2] As a consequence of the conflict and the destruction, mages were viewed with suspicion throughout Lapaliiya,[3] while civic faiths were created.[1] the school of wizardry in Mierskar was also destroyed, though its great library remained inviolate.[4] The city of Procalith was completely destroyed by a sorcerously-driven storm during the fight, and never rebuilt.[5]
