During the Crown Wars, the leader of Shantel Othreir, Coronal Ynloeth is said to have died mysteriously(Grand History of the Realms, page 15, -10600 DR) I was curious as to what happened, I attributed it to an assassin from Aryvandaar.....

all i remember about him is that he lead an army of 2000 elves and halflings into some forest never to be seen again...... which may mean that he kidnapped or fell off into some time portal

Think he shattered the Swords of Coronal Ynloeth. Equivelant of a nuke. But not sure, and rather pishsed.

You're confusing him with King Ellatharion of Phalorm who lived and ruled much later.

Neither Cormanthyr nor Lost Empires of Faerûn clarify this, so it will most likely remain a mystery until a designer or author take it up again.

-Being that Shantel Othrier and Aryvandaar were engaged in combat together, and the fact that the Vyshaanti were in control of the nation, that is probably the case.

Okay, LK, while I'm amused to have lore available but why are you pulling out threads that have been dead for nearly 9 months and how many are on the list for resurrection?

-Like I said in the other one, I am doing "cleaning". There's lots of older threads that are in the Forgotten Realms: Realmslore section that don't belong, because the Forgotten Realms: General Discussion and Forgotten Realms: Running the Realms sections did not yet exist. I posted in this one because I noticed I hadn't.

Cool, you just started reminding me of 18Delta for a moment. Got me curious.

Well, I hope the fate of Ynloeth will stay an enigma. Too many mysteries were solved in a predictable way (think Aravae Irithyl ;) )

-Nope, don't worry.

-Agreed. I mean, this is something that took place in the ancient past anyway. With no future D&D sourcebooks for the Forgotten Realms, and only one current WotC-affiliated author who I'd trust with ancient Elven history (Steve Schend), I don't see this ever begin resolved. Which, yeah, is mostly a good thing.
