Crown wars

-12.000 The Crown Wars begin / Rise of the Vyshaantar Empire: After centuries of fruitless diplomacy, the impatient grasping rulers of Aryvandaar attack Miyeritar and begins putting political pressure on Shantal Othreier to join them or suffer the same fate.
-11.800: Miyeritar militarily occupied and annexed by Aryvandaar, though a number of clans and strongholds resist and continue to fight. Many elves of Illefarn despite its officially neutral stance provide secret safe heavens for Miyeritary refugees.
-11.700: Dragons set the southern expanse of Shantal Othreier aflame, separating the soon-to-be-called wyrmwood from its greater body. Tethyr kin of Keltormir (allied with the northern elves) and Shantal Othreier.        The second Crown war flares up in answer to the aggressions of Aryvandaar. Ilythiir rises up and viciously strikes out at any who support the gold elves of the north. Its nearest neighbor of Orishaar, as a major trade partner with Aryvandaar, falls swiftly in a brutal surprise attack.  
-11.600: The Ilythiiri destroy Syņrpiir by fire, separating them from their allied neighbors and burning their homes to the ground. 
-11.500: Thearnytaar and Eiellūr band together and declare war on Ilythiir, decrying the use of fire and wanton destruction far more than the power plays of the northern elves. They fight a holding action , preventing the Ilythiiri from advancing north.
-11.450 The Sable Wars: Thearnytaar and Eiellūr, with minimal allies from Keltormir and Shantal Othreier, invade Ilythiir, intent on destroying or reforming the dark elves before more realms fall. More than half their forces are decimated by the corrupt magic of the dark elves.
-11.400: Fall of Eiellūr as the Ilythiiri once again use magic to destroy their realm around them and isolate them from aid. They also were helped by traitor green elves,  who thought their appeasement actions could help restore peace.
-11.300: End of the first Crown war Miyeritar conquered by Aryvandaar.
-11.200: Thearnytaar falls to the savage and now-unrepentant dark elves, who enslaved monsters and undead to occupy the thorn-and-bramble choked woods. Ilythiir now directly skirmishes with the major realm of Keltormir along its eastern and southern expanses.
-11.000: Dwarves establish the first holds of deep shanatar in the southern underdark (Modern: Almraiven Mountains, Lake of Steam).
-10.900: The third Crown war erupts as accords finally fail between Shantal Othreier and  Aryvandaar..
-10.700 Battle of the God's Theater: The god's Theater (Modern: the Tunlands) on eastern  Shantal Othreier is the site of the largest and costliest of all the Crown wars battles. Nearly 70.000 elves died at the hands of elven or orcish enemies, as an orc horde 100.000 strong fell upon the already embattled elves. Aryvandaar won the day, and occupied the northern half of Shantal Othreier
-10.690: The God Silvanus Creates the Oak Staff of Nature to restore the balance in the God's Theater area.
-10.600: Shantal Othreier conquered by Vyshaantar empire of Aryvandaar after the mysterious death of Coronal Ynoleth. Guerrilla fighting and rebel mages arise in parts of Miyeritar and the newly conquered territories.
-10.500 The dark Disaster: Miyeritar is engulfed in killing storms, which reduce this entire forest and realm into a barren wasteland in three months. While no proof could ever be found many believe that the high mages of Aryvandaar inflicted the dark disaster on Miyeritar.        Shock over the dark disaster established an uneasy four decades of peace, as nearly every elf of Faerun shrank back in awe and horror from what havoc the Crown Wars Wrought.
-10.450 The Fourth Crown War: Ilythiir`s seething counter-attack to avenge Miyeritar sees their open use of the corrupt powers of Ghanunadar and other dark, evil gods for the first time.
-10.300: The elves of Keltormir opposed on both sides by the Vyshaan of Aryvandaar and the dark elven clan of Hume of Ilythiir, strategically withdraw from eastern Keltormir, holding their lines at highland's edge.
-10.270 The Stone and Claw campaigns: The withdrawal of Keltormir forces to close and defend its own borders pitted the forces of Aryvandaar and Ilythiir against each other. They soon closed ranks and fought incessantly for two centuries.  Battles raged across giant-infested mountains and wemic-claimed plains north of Keltormir.
-10.110: In opposition to the corrupt dark elves of Ilythiir and their continued destruction of the forested elven homelands by fire (an elven enemy of long-standing), over 1000 priests and high mages in neutral Illefarn and other free spend decades in fervent prayers for salvation by Corellon Larethian and the seldarine gods.
-10.100: Through enslaved dragons and other powers, the dark elves of Ilythiir engulf all of Shantal Othreier in flames, destroying over  70% of its threes over the course of 50 years.
-10.000 Descent of the Drow: Corellon“s magic as directed through his priests and high mages, transforms the dark elves, whether the corrupt Ilythiiri or others, into the drow. Whether by magic or by weaknesses that banish them from the sunlit lands, all drow retreat within two months passing into the Underdark.         Elves are summoned by the seldarine to the site that becomes elven court one month after the descent of the drow to settle differences and restore the peace among the elves. 
-9.900: Aryvandaar“s covert persecution of high mages and priests begin, as the attempt to destroy or control any who might somehow force their descent as they did the drow. While not destroyed utterly, Illefarn & its colony in the Llewyrrwood is annexed by Aryvandaar as its nobility of priests and high mages died under the persecution of the increasingly-crazed Coronal Giilvas Vyshaan. Many elves of both lands flee to the remnants of Shantal Othreier.
-9.800: The Vyshaantar Empire's forces occupy all elven realms (save Keltormir) from the high forest of Aryvandaar to the sweltering southern forest of Ilythiir. They begin the colonization and settlement of Evermeet.        A large force of Llewyrr elves escape the oppressive mainland  and resettle the isolation and safety among the mountains of the Moonshae islands, their new land becomes Synnoria, after the elf queen who led the Llewyrr to this island sanctuary.
-9.600: Rise of the first drow civilization in the underdark beneath southern Faerun. Their constant harassment of the Vyshaantar forces help prevent their annexing Keltormir or any other lands.
-9.200 Fifth Crown War: The first proclamation of Elven Court leads to the revolt of the nobles of Aryvandaar and the last Crown War begins.  The Elven Court, the Seldarine priesthood, and the long hidden high mages restore pockets of resistance and freedom across the entire Vyshaantar Empire, fragmenting the armies and nobles to limit their coordination. 
-9.000: The Fifth Crown War ends with the utter defeat of the Vyshaan and the dissolution of Aryvandaar. Much of the high forest is abandoned for an age, leaving the forest open so the gods might restore its peace.        The wandering years of elven colonization begin. Many elves begin migrating back to Elven Court in its eastern forest. Illefarn and Keltormir are the sole remaining civilizations to emerge intact from the Crown Wars.        Drow overwhelm the dwarves of Bhaerynden and take their rift-city for their own.
