A weather-controlling mythallar is established in Zenith. However, the brutal weather continued to be a problem for those who chose to remain in the fishing village.

With the Mines of Dekanter producing vast amounts of mineral wealth, the importance of Northreach rapidly diminishes. While still an important port along the Narrow Sea, the prominence of the floating cities is now paramount to Netheril's survival (or so it seems at the time).
Northreach becomes a home for common criminals, a testing ground for new and ever-more-dangerous spells, and an outpost for trade with the Rengarth tribes. »
The Netheril city of Arctic Rim is established. The city is credited for being the northernmost Netherese city, but only 100 people lived there. Some claimed that it wasn't a real city since it was merely an outpost for the Netheril militia to keep a close watch on the Rengarth Tundra as well as remain alert for any large force of orcs or other goblinkind. »
Whether the dwarves of Delzoun struck a mother lode of precious metals or just decided to increase trade is unknown, but Northreach of Netheril is virtually buried beneath ship after ship of gold, silver, platinum, and bronze. The population doubles, despite a vicious winter that sees the residents battling orc tribes that were starving out on the Rengarth ancestral lands. »
The enclave of Spiel is created in Netheril. Within 10 years of its creation, the enclave contains so many colleges, universities, and institutions that they outnumber the taverns and festhalls.

When Netheril first hit its magical peak, Macht Lake is named after the Rengarth word for "power" or "might". Despite the fertile land around the lake, however, no villages or outposts placed there survive very long due to the merrow population. The aquatic ogres proved ruthless in their dealing with any creatures they came across; orc, human, or otherwise. »
Quagmire fields more than 20,000 troops to battle an orc horde that thundered its way across the ancestral lands of the Rengarth on their way toward the heartland of Netheril. While more than 11,000 Quagmire troops died, they claimed more than 150,000 orcs, sending the creatures scurrying back into the Barren Mountains and western forests.
In many ways, Quagmire serves as a force of arms for Netheril, sending its warriors out to problem areas throughout the kingdom. Wherever there was a chance for combat, warriors and priests of Targus (Garagos) are present. Even many of the grounding cities sent their warriors to Quagmire so that they could be prepared for the orc, kobold, and goblin battles that awaited them. »

The smoke from The Hazardous Climb Mountains stops and the former volcano turns into a popular mountaineering spot for both explorers and Rengarth barbarians.
Although its 27,000-foot-high summit is never reached, many climbers finishs the second leg of the climb (elevated about 20,000 feet above the plains below). It is a dangerous climb, and many inexperienced climbers fall to their deaths. Not even the famed Dienere Falconholfer, an active explorer who traversed many of the mountains and rivers of Netheril during the close of the Shadowed Age, successfully reached the summit. »
