  • 786 DR [Year of the Moaning Gorge]

  • The Battle of Moaning Gorge
    Ndulu's army is met by the great-grandsons of King Sarshel Elethlim and the Order of the Triad at the mouth of a gorge that leads deep into the Earthspurs, just outside the gates of the Citadel of Conjurers. Employing three shields - Kimeltaar, Naelotaar, and Dizeltaar - and the sword Demonbane (although the Greatsword of Impiltur is not found), the Paladin Princes form a vortex portal and through it drive Ndulu and his horde back into the Abyss. In his final act, Ndulu shatters two of the shields, Naelotaar and Dizeltaar, and their bearers, Crown Prince Essys and Prince Araln. Nord, the youngest of the three, is named crown prince and heir to the throne of Impiltur.

    In his wake, the balor left the Moaning Crown of Ndulu (made from the released crown-wraiths that were released from the shattered Crown of Narfell), for it could not pass beyond this plane. Recognizing the Crown as the fell echo of the Crown of Narfell, but unable to destroy it, Prince Nord secretly carries it (using the blade Felthann's ghost touch ability to manipulate it) to the depths of the Citadel of Conjurers and places it amid the other Narfelli artifacts that lay therein.

    Crown Prince Essys and Prince Araln are slain in the fighting. Nord, the youngest of the three, is named crown prince and heir to the throne. »

  • War-Captain Imphras Heltharn of Lyrabar unites the city-states of the Easting Reach (Lyrabar, Hlammach, Dilpur, and Sarshel) and leads them against a hobgoblin horde from the Giantspire Mountains. The wood elves of the Grey Forest, and the shield dwarves of the Earthfast Mountains also join the fight. The hobgoblin horde (which was controlled by the succubus Soneillon) is driven back to the shores of Bluefang Water in the uplands of Impiltur. There, Soargar (Mage Royal of Old Impiltur and Archmage of Lyrabar), the young sorceress Sambral (apprentice to Soargar), the visiting archmage Velgarbrin of Baldur's Gate, and the folk of Impiltur and its allies rout the hobgoblin horde.

    After the battle, Soargar breaths his last, but not before telling Imphras that the Crown of Narfell and a cache of magical blades (come to be known as Soargar's Legacy) are located in his tower. Soargar had also sometime ago cast a mighty abjuration spell which prevented the succubus Soneillon from physically entering the lands of Impiltur. »

King Imbrar Heltharn marches into the mountains, accompanied by his Royal Guard - and Imbrar and his men are never seen again. King Imbrar's youngest sister Ilmara takes the Crown of Narfell and begins her reign as Impiltur's queen.

    The brokenhearted king Imbrar (having attacked foolishly and also losing Soargar's Legacy, the fabled blades of the Realm) is captured by the succubus Soneillon (the secret leader of the hobgoblins), who tortures and torments him until his will and his faith in the Triad is broken. Upon his death, he rises again as a death knight in the service of the fiend Soneillon. She crowns him with the Coronation Crown of Rhigard and recovers the Greatsword of Impiltur from the hobgoblins of her realm, Naratyr, and bestows it onto her new champion and consort, Imbrar Heltharn, Fallen King of Impiltur. »
