History
of the
North - The First Flowering
|
For
millennia, gold elves dwelt in Illefarn (where Waterdeep now stands) and
Eaerlann (along the River Shining). From their ornate forest cities they
traded with emerging human nations like Netheril and Illusk and repulsed
the attacks of the goblin races. Meanwhile, dwarven clans united as the
nation of Delzoun, named for the dwarf who forged the union. The nation,
existing primarily underground, extended from the Ice Mountains to the
Nether Mountains. Silver Moon Pass was its western border and the Narrow
Sea its eastern shore.
Orcs came from north of the Spine of the World but were turned back in
great slaughter by the elves. To this day, this is the homeland and stronghold
for orcs and similar races.
