04-18-04, 09:40 AM This information comes from the Cormanthyr: Empire of Elves Arcane Age supplement for Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd Edition.I haven't seen it updated to 3rd edition anywhere yet.

In the current day forest of Cormanthor is where ancient Jhyrennstar was located. From the book, Rystall Woods grew to the north and far west of the Elven Court as a wild and carefree sylvan elf realm relatively isolated by distance from the other realms or Arcorar.(It became the modern day Border Forest). Jhyrennstar formed the central domain among all the other settlements of the Great Forest, and it was located at the heart of the Great Forest.Uvaeren,one of the later settlements created during the Founding Times,lay southwest of Jhyrennstar lands.(Became a great storehouse of elven knowledge). Semberholme was the last of the settlements established in the Founding Years,roughly two millenia after the first elves were summoned to Elven Court.

As to what happened to it. When the Coronal of Jhyrennstar fell ill and his fever proved incurable,his death-bed wishes overruled the objections of many nobles ,since he spoke as Coronal and as a prophet of Labelas Enoreth: "If we are to survive as is the peoples' right, one Coronal must vow to unify the tribes of this great land. One Coronal must unify sun and moon,sky and sea,earth,tree and root , and his promise to all is long-lasting peace and strength in unity.

At his arrangement, the young elves competed in trials to test their strength of limb,magic and character. When only 3 remained, the High Mages created new elfblades for the 3. Within a High Magic ritual, all 3 simultaneously drew their blades, the runes upon them marked them as ruler,defender by arms , and defender by Art. Kahvoerm Irithyl drew the Ruler's Blade and while still in the ritual, the dying Coronal Oacenth removed his selu kiira and fused it to the pommel of the sword,granting him ruling knowledge and High Magic. Coronal Irithyl, with the acceptance of the Jhyrennstar nobles and Semberholmes Council of Trees, proclaimed all the domains of the forest to be one realm and one people, and he renamed the forest Cormanthor, and the realm is Cormanthyr. So it isnt destroyed just subsumed into Cormanthor.

Hope this helps you out a little.
