Who or what is the "Dark army" mentioned in the year of despairing elves
in 711 DR, the weeping wars? who are they composed of? I've looked in the grand history of the realms, but can't find who they are or who where they came from.

I think it was called 'The Army of Darkness'.

Anyway, it was basically the army of Malkizid, led by his general Aulmpiter (one of the three nycaloth commanders, who were trapped far above Myth Drannor some time before, and were freed by the red dragon Garret (sp?)), consisting of yugoloths, goblins, orcs, and so on.

You can get quite a lot of additional info from Cormanthyr and The Fall of Myth Drannor (the latter specifically deals with this topic) here:
