Nov 09, 2008 2:46:31 So I was reading the Aumanator entry from Faiths & Avatars when I noticed that there was a religious place called Unity.

Is there any information on this place beyond the fact that before it became a ruins it had a temple where people would go to learn how to become priests of Aumanator? I did a search and nothing came back beyond a brief mention of it.

Also is there any information on it in the 4e books?

The city was in Netheril and is today in Netheril. During the 3e era the region was called the Anauroch Desert.

Except there's no info on it elsewhere. Anyone know anything about this?

Unity
This community was named after a promise made by humans, elves, and dwarves to unite against the onslaught of goblin and orc raiding parties. Established in the early 600s, Unity served as a base of operations against the warring goblinkind until the elves’ and dwarves’ civilization finally collapsed.

The Shadowed Age (3163-3519): In 3348 NY, Unity faced the terror of Olostin, an impossibly brutal human bandit baron who relished the chance for combat. He earned the nickname of the “Baron of Dread” during his attacks on the city, and many died.

The Golden Age (1652-2653): Ironically, Trinity existed at the base of a shrine to Jannath, the Cede River. Throughout the Golden Age, Trinity was inundated with the faithful of Jannath as they made their way up to the shrine. It was a profitable venture, however, and the nonstandard faithful of Amaunator welcomed their visitors. Unity was home to the largest temple to Amaunator. A complete description of the “Forested Enclave of the Face on the Sun” can be found under Amaunator’s listing in the Time Travelers and their Gods section.

An attack of extra-planar fiends in 3499 raised havoc within Unity, the fiends trying to take control of the city to have a base from which to launch attacks against the Karsus enclave. A three-year battle erupted over control of the city before Karsus finally ejected the fiends from the Prime Material Plane or slew them outright.

Beginning in the spring of 3514 NY, Unity began seeing an infiltration of magically mutated beings come out of the Far Horns Forest. It was believed that the use of heavy magic by Karsus and his advisors in the war of 3499 NY caused the anomalies.

The Fall and Beyond (3520+): With the backlash against Amaunator due to the fall of Netheril, the following of Amaunator quickly diminished. Anauroch slowly moved to engulf Unity, and the few remaining residents traveled west into the Savage Frontier and south into the survivor states.
