The Tearfall: A meteorite falls in the midst of the giant kingdom of Ostoria in the lands known today as Vaasa. Deep in a chasm caused by the meteor strike the primordial Telos begins to grow, leeching magic and life-force from the area around him.

Year of the Breaking Ice: The kingdom of Sossal 1319 is rocked by a series of earthquakes. The tremors create fissures in parts of the Great Glacier, unleashing several powerful demons trapped there since the fall of Narfell. Led by their ruler Londraeth, the warriors of Sossal manage to vanquish the rampaging fiends.

The marilith Vaas is released from a demoncyst beneath Vaasa by earthquakes. She slowly begins calling her allies to the lands beneath Vaasa where she was imprisoned.

1038

The Great Glacier is entirely absent from the lands of Damara, Vassa, and upper Narfell by spring of this year and does not return in winter. This prompts a wave of migration of Impilturan and Narfelli settlers that claim the lands of Damara for their own. Orcs and other creatures of the Thar claim Vaasa.

Year of the Dawndance: War-Captain Imphras Heltharn of Lyrabar using the swords of Soargar’s Legacy and wielding Dornavver, personally unites the city-states of the Easting Reach and leads them to victory over a hobgoblin horde from the hobgoblin nation of Naratyr in the Giantspire Mountains which was sent by Soneillon.

King Feldrin Bloodfeathers of Damara is slain in battle against the hobgoblin horde of Naratyr.

1096

1122

Year of the Rose Pearls: Princess Ilmara of Impiltur founds the fortress-city of Ilmwatch to guard against the return of the hobgoblins.

Queen Sambral dies, and after grieving for her, Imphras I soon passes as well. Their son and eldest child Imbrar takes the Crown of Narfell as the ruler of Impiltur. Princess Ilmara, Imbrar’s sister, becomes a sorceress under Mhilra of Milvarune and finds the scrying stones of Myth Drannor before founding Ilmwatch to guard against the return of the hobgoblins of Naratyr.

The aging and addled King Feldrin II of Damara takes offence at the creation of Ilmwatch as he believes it could be used for an invasion of his country.

1127

Year of the Luminar Procession: Using the scrying stones of Myth Drannor, Ilmara sees the hobgoblins stirring in the Giantspire Mountains and alerts her brother. King Imbrar of Impiltur foolishly leads an army into the Giantspire Mountains to eradicate the hobgoblin menace accompanied by his Royal Guard and carrying with them many of the royal blades of Impiltur; Soargar’s Legacy including some say Dornavver wielded by King Imbrar himself.

His warriors are murdered and the succubus Soneillon corrupts the king into a death knight. Imbrar’s sister Ilmara takes the crown of Narfell and is crowned queen of Impiltur.

Ilmara Heltharn accedes to the throne of Impiltur upon the death of her brother and gives up a life of adventure and travels.

King Feldrin II of Damara severs diplomatic ties with Impiltur over the army amassing on his border with Impiltur. His last message delivers an ultimatum that should Impiltur’s army cross Damara’s borders there will be war. This influences King Imbrar’s decision to deal with Soneillon accompanied only by his royal guard and Soargar’s Legacy.

1150

An insane and almost incapable Feldrin II of Damara declares war on Impiltur. He is slain on the same day by his eldest son Feldrin who is promptly imprisoned and convicted of treason. Feldrin is exiled from Damara forever and moved in the line of succession. His younger brother, Veldrin I is crowned King of Damara at the age of 37.

1152

Orcs pour out of Vaasa through Bloodstone Pass and lay waste to much of northern Damara. The disparate orcs are quickly eliminated but the people call for Vaasa and the Bloodstone Pass to be secured for the future prosperity of Damara.

1153

King Veldrin I declares the land that will later be known as Vaasa to be crown property of Damara. The land is open to settlement to all that can keep and hold an area of land for a year with appropriate proof provided of continued dwelling to the crown. This attracts adventurers and settlers from across Faerûn.

1154

A noble scion of House Belmaris is one of the first to enter Vaasa and claim land along the river running through the center of Vaasa. The name eventually becomes corrupted to Beaumaris River.

Settlers and adventurers in Vaasa endure nightly attacks by demonic forces that severely hamper growth and settlement in the region.

All settlers in Vaasa disappear over the course of a week. Secretly they are enslaved by the forces of Vaas, a marillith demon released from her imprisonment nearly two centuries earlier and has been busy building her tanar'ri forces and enslaving the local grey orc tribes. The humans are kept with the orc slaves which quickly creates a large population of half orcs.

1158

Scouting expeditions into Vaasa all disappear without a trace. A demonic envoy proclaiming that Queen Vaas of Vaasa now rules the lands beyond Bloodstone Pass. The heads of the Damaran scouting expeditions are delivered to the Damaran Court on gigantic platters.

1160

Beginning in this year groups of twisted demonic orcs from Vaasa attack Damara in ever greater numbers. Damara beseeches Impiltur for aid using the exiled Feldrin as an ambassador. Queen Ilmara is reluctant to engage in a war on foreign soil after what happened to her brother Imbrar.

Impilturan Holy Orders dedicated to Ilmater venture into Damara to aid those under siege by the demons from Vaasa.

1171

With aid finally arriving from Impiltur the forces of Damara and Impiltur march on Vaasa. The human armies are met with innumerable hordes of tanar’ri and twisted half demon spawn.

The battle quickly turns in favour of Queen Vaas until a rebellion erupts within Vaas’ forces as several thousand half orcs take up arms against her. Together the allied forces win the day and Vaas is forced to flee the field of battle.

Damara claims Vaasa as crown land and then awards the half orcs the land around the former settlement of Cinnabaran. The orcs quickly rebuild the ruin into a fortress which they call Palischuk.

As part of the newly formed alliance between Impiltur and Damara, Crown Prince Veldrin is married to a great grand niece of Imphras the Great of the Heltharn dynasty.

1172

Crown Prince Veldrin’s wife dies following a difficult birth. His son is born and also named Veldrin.

1175

King Veldrin I and his son Veldrin II are both slain under mysterious circumstances on consecutive days. Veldrin II’s son is crowned Veldrin III king of Damara at the age of 3. The boy always seems to have a vacant expression and never leaves the side of his regent.

1242

Year of the Yellow Rose: The Monastery of the Yellow Rose is founded in Damara.

1281

At the impossible age of 109, King Veldrin III, also known as King Veldrin "the Immortal", sires a son Beldrinar.

1319

Despairing of ever inheriting the throne, Beldrinar of Damara finally manages to slay his father King Veldrin III by hiring a coterie of mages to cover the entire palace in an anti magic field. Veldrin III ages rapidly and quickly turns to dust. The anti magic field also reveals secret passages in the palace.

Beldrinar is barred from the succession and exiled to Vaasa for slaying King Veldrin. His ten year old son Virdin is made heir apparent and his mother acts as regent until his accession.

1347

Zhengyi the Witch King; devotee of Orcus, arrives in Vaasa to locate Telos and use his power for Orcus’ will. Using rituals he creates a link between himself and Telos allowing Zhengyi to draw on the primordial’s power directly. His first act is to create Castle Perilous in a single day.

1348

Year of the Spur: Zhengyi invades Damara, skirmishing with the forces of Damara for 10 years.

1357

Zhengyi and his armies slay King Virdin and conquer Damara. Puppet rulers are installed in many of the baronies and duchies of Damara.
