Time line: ? to -1.

? to ?

--The Days of Thunder: This is the time of the fabled Creator Races, when many gods came
    to the consciousness of mortals, and many races still hid in caves. No mention can be found
    of elves, dwarves, and other races in this time. Still, their absence on ancient cave
    paintings is hardly sufficient evidence to say that they did not exist in the Realms.

? to -24000

    --The Dawn Ages/The Time of Dragons: Dragons and giants rule Toril at this time; elves
    and dwarves settle in small but growing communities all over Faerûn. The dwarves
    overthrow the giants and start their empires. Toward the end of this time, the elves start
    doing the same against the dragon overlords of this era.

c.-25000 DR

    --First mentions of Ironfang Keep on the Dragons' Sea appear in draconic legends.

-24000 to -12000

    --The First Flowering: The elves reach their peak here, more than 15,000 years ago. The
    great elven civilizations of Faerûn include Aryvandaar, Illefarn, Ilythiir, Keltormir,
    Miyeritar, and Shantel Othreier. With the elves' success against the orcs and dragons and
    giants, the other races thrive in safety and begin the slow climb on civilization.

c.-20000

    --First skirmishes between the Orishaar and Ilythiir elvish tribes begin, and continue off
    and on for seven millennia.

-18800/

    --Establishment of the first elvish settlements of Miyeritar (Present Day: High Moor, Misty
    Forest), by green and dark elves due to political differences with the gold elves of
    Aryvandaar.

-17800/

    --Establishment of the great elvish settlements of Keltormir (Present Day: Forest of Tethyr
    which spanned all of Tethyr, Amn, Erlkazar, and Calimshan) by moon and green elves of
    Thearnytarr and elsewhere, seeking peace and simple lives away from the strife of the
    other elven realms.

-17500/

    --The independent sylvan elf realms of Thearnytaar, Eiellûr, and Syòrpiir open discussions
    of unifying the elves of the Satyrwood (Present Day: Thornwood/Chondalwood).

-17100 to -16800

    --The War of Three Leaves: The unification of the Satyrwood is thwarted by dark elven
    Ilythiiri spies and assassins, killing their leaders and framing opposing heirs, driving the
    three realms to a multifront war. Ilythiir's influence is not discovered for centuries.

-15300/

    --The elvish Vyshaan clan rises to power in Aryvandaar under Coronal Ivósaar Vyshann.

-14700/

    --Aryvandaar's rulers begin attempts to diplomatically and peacefully annex Miyeritar into
    their realm and under their control.

c.-14000

    --Tribal barbarian clans of humans roam Keltormir, hiding and hunting in the great forests
    and avoiding the greater races of elves, giants, and dragons.

-13900/

    --Miyeritar becomes the center of elven Art and High Magic on Faerûn.

-13200/

    --Skirmishing and trade interference starts between Aryvandaar and Miyeritar.

-12000 to -9000

    --The Crown Wars: The Crown Wars of the Elves are fought during this period, pitting
    nearly four generations of elf against elf. The two greatest events of the Crown Wars that
    still have impact on the Realms are the Dark Disaster and the Descent of the Drow. The
    Dark Disaster utterly destroyed the forest realm of Miyeritar, leaving the blasted plains that
    are now the High Moors. Perhaps due to the savagery of the Crown Wars or other factors
    long lost to time, the Dark Elves became corrupt during this era, broke away from their
    brethren, and after much warfare and cruelty they descended beneath the planet's surface to
    become the Deep Elves, the drow.

-12000/

    --The Crown Wars begin with the rise of the Vyshaantar Empire of Aryvandaar. After
    centuries of fruitless diplomacy, the impatient, grasping rulers of Aryvandaar attack
    Miyeritar and begins putting political pressure on Shantel Othreier to join them or suffer
    the same fate.

-11800/

    --Miyeritar is militarily occupied and annexed by Aryvandaar, though a number of clans
    and strongholds resist and continue to fight. Many elves of Illefarn, despite its officially
    neutral stance, provide secret safehavens for Miyeritari refugees.

c.-11700

    --The dragon's war against the giants of Keltormir leads to the First Tethrift; a great
    burning of southern Shantel Othreier that separated the soon-to-be-called the Wyrmwood
    from the greater body of the forest. Tethir, kin of Keltormir and the first recorded elven
    dragonslayer, single- handedly slays two ancient red wyrms of the Ridge and saves many
    elves. A portion of Keltormir's woods are named for him.
    --Tethir's stand earned the elves the respect of the dragons, who had previously dismissed
    them as ignorant, two-footed cattle.
    --Over time, humanity slowly builds in the clearings created by the dragon fires.
    --The Second Crown War flares up in answer to the aggressions of Aryvandaar. Ilythiir
    rises up and viciously strikes out at any who support the gold elves of the north. Its nearest
    neighbor of Orishaar, as a major trade partner with Aryvandaar, falls swiftly in a brutal
    surprise attack.

-11600/

    --The Ilythiiri destroy Syòrpiir by fire, separating them from their allied neighbors and
    burning their homes to the ground.

-11500/

    --Thearnytaar and Eiellûr band together and declare war on Ilythiir, decrying their use of
    fire and wanton destruction far more than the power plays of the northern elves. They fight
    a holding action, preventing the Ilythiiri from advancing north.

-11450/

    --The Sable Wars: Thearnytaar and Eiellûr, with minimal allies from Keltormir and
    Shantel Orthreier, invade Ilythiir, intent on destroying or reforming the dark elves before
    more realms fall. More than half their forces are decimated by the corrupt magics of the
    dark elves.

-11400/

    --Fall of Eiellûr as the Ilythiiri once again use fire to destroy their realm around them and
    isolate them from aid. They also were helped by traitor green elves, who thought their
    appeasement actions could help restore peace.

-11300/

    --End of the First Crown War: Miyeritar conquered by Aryvandaar.

-11200/

    --Thearnytaar falls to the savage and now-unrepentant dark elves, who use enslaved
    monsters and and undead to occupy the thorn-and-bramble choked woods. Ilythiir now
    directly skirmishes with the major realm of Keltormir along its eastern and southern
    expanses.

c.-11000

    --Dwarves from the great stronghold of Bhaerynden establish the first holds of Deep
    Shanatar in the southern Underdark (Present Day: Alimir Mountains, Lake of Steam).

-10900/

    --The Third Crown War erupts as accords finally fail between Shantel Othreier and
    Aryvandaar.

-10700/

    --Battle of the Gods' Theatre: The Gods' Theater (Present Day: The Tunlands) on eastern
    Shantal Othreier is the site of one of the largest and costliest of all the Crown Wars'
    battles. Nearly 70,000 elves die at the hands of elven and orcish enemies, as an orc horde
    100,000 strong falls upon the already-embattled elves. Aryvandaar won the day, and
    occupied the northern half of Shantel Othreier.

-10600/

    --Shantel Othreier conquered by the Vyshaantar Empire of Aryvandaar after the mysterious
    death of Coronal Ynloeth. Guerilla fighting and rebel mages arise in parts of Miyeritar and
    the newly conquered territories.

-10500/

    --The Dark Disaster: Miyeritar is engulfed in killing storms, which reduce this entire forest
    and realm into barren wastelands in three months. While no proof could ever be found,
    many believe the High Mages of Aryvandaar inflicted the Dark Disaster on Miyeritar.
    --Shock over the Dark Disaster established an uneasy four decades of peace, as nearly
    every elf of Faerûn shrank back in awe and horror from what havoc the Crown Wars
    wrought.

c.-10450

    --The Fourth Crown War: Ilythiir's seething counter-attack to avenge Miyeritar sees their
    open use of the corrupt powers of Ghaunadar and other dark, evil gods for the first time.

-10300/

    --The Keltormir elves, opposed on both sides by the Vyshaan of Aryvandaar and the dark
    elf clan Hune of Ilythiir, strategically withdraw from eastern Keltormir, holding their lines
    at Highland's Edge.

-10270/

    --The Stone and Claw Campaigns: The withdrawal of Keltormir's forces to close and
    defend its own borders pitted the forces of Aryvandaar and Ilythiir against each other. They
    soon closed ranks and fought incessantly for two centuries. Battles raged across the
    giant-infested mountains and wemic-claimed plains north of Keltormir.

-10110/

    --In opposition to the corrupt dark elves of Ilythiir and their continued destruction of the
    forested elven homelands by fire (an elven enemy of long-standing), over 1,000 priests and
    High Mages in neutral Illefarn and other free areas spend decades in fervent prayer for
    salvation by Corellon Larethian and the Seldarine gods.

-10100/

    --Through enslaved dragons and other powers, the dark elves of Ilythiir engulf all of
    Shantal Othreier in flames, destroying over 70% of its trees over the course of 50 years.

-10000/

    --Descent of the Drow: Corellon's magic, as directed through his priests and High Mages,
    transforms the dark elves, whether the corrupt Ilythiiri or others, into the drow. Whether by
    magic or by the weaknesses that banish them from the sunlit lans, all drow retreat within
    two month's passing into the Underdark.
    --Elves are summoned by the Seldarine to the site that becomes Elven Court one month
    after the Descent of the Drow, to settle differences and restore peace among the elves.

-9900/

    --Aryvandaar's covert persecution of High Mages and priests begins, as they attempt to
    destroy or control any who might somehow force their descent as they did the drow. While
    not destroyed utterly, Illefarn and its colony in the Llewyrrwood is annexed by
    Arvynandaar as its nobility of priests and High Mages died under the persecution of the
    increasingly-crazed Coronal Giilvas Vyshaan. Many elves of both lands flee to the
    remnants of Shantel Othreier.

-9800/

    --The Vyshantaar Empire's forces occupy all elven realms (save Keltormir) from the High
    Forest of Aryvandaar to the sweltering southern forests of Ilythiir. They begin the
    colonization and settlement of Evermeet.
    --A large force of Llewyrr elves escapes the oppressive mainland and resettle in isolation
    and safety among the mountains of the Moonshae Islands. Their new land becomes
    Synnoria, after the elfqueen who led the Llewyr to this island sanctuary.

c. -9600

    --Rise of the first drow civilizations in the Underdark beneath southern Faerûn. Their
    constant harassment of the Vyshantaar forces over the next five centuries help prevent their
    annexing Keltormir or any other lands.

-9200/

    --The Fifth Crown War: The First Proclamation of Elven Court leads to the revolt of the
    nobles of Aryvandaar and the last Crown War begins. The Elven Court, the Seldarine
    priesthoods, and the long-hidden High Mages restore pockets of resistance and freedom
    across the entire Vyshantaar Empire, fragmenting the armies and nobles to limit their
    coordination.

-9000/

    --The Fifth Crown War ends with the utter defeat of the Vyshaan and the dissolution of
    Aryvandaar. Much of the High Forest is abandoned for an age, leaving the forest open so
    the gods might restore its peace.
    --The Wandering Years of elven colonization begin. Many elves begin migrating back to
    Elven Court in its eastern forest. Illefarn and Keltormir are the sole remaining civilizations
    to emerge intact from the Crown Wars.
    --Drow overwhelm the dwarves of Bhaerynden and take their fifth-city for their own.

-9000 to -3859

    --The Rise of Civilization/The Founding Time: This era signals the rise of all the humanoid
    civilizations, as the many dragons and giants were long overthrown and the elven wars no
    longer loomed over everyone as a threat. The elven realms of Evereska and Evermeet
    grow by colonization along with other realms, from the human Unther or Coramshan to the
    dwarven realms of High Shanatar or Oghrann.

-8800/

    --An elven tale, "Inferno," tells of a great drought lasting two summers in this year. After an
    attack by a flight of red dragons on the center of the great elven forest of Keltormir, the
    dragon fire sparked a forest fire that raged out of control. This fire extinguished four entire
    clans of elves, eleven giant settlements, at least four green dragons, and thousands of miles
    of woodlands. The fires clear all the wooded area between the two great rivers (Present
    Day: the rivers Sulduskoon and Ith).
    --Founding of Rystall Wood and its First Rysar begins with its first crowned Coronal.

c.-8640

    --Dwarves are believed to live in great numbers in the eastern mountains of present-day
    Semphar.

-8600/

    --Evereska is founded in secret by surviving clans of the former Shantel Othreier,
    Miyeritar, Orishaar, and Eiellûr as an elven safehaven in the woods east of Aryvandaar.

c.-8500

    --Dwarves migrate north from the Great Rift and enter the cavernous realms beneath the
    Sword Coast South.

-8500/

    --Keltormir's Fall: Due to fire-sundered and otherwise ravaged homelands, Keltormir
    dissolves into three separate forests: The Wyrmwood, Darthiir Wood (Present Day: Forest
    of Mir), and the Forest of Tethir.

    Faerun (Present Day: Amn, Tethyr, Erlkazar, Calimshan, Alimir Peninsula). The empire is
    ruled from the Wyrmskull Throne in Alatorin's Brightaxe Hall. Within 150 years, trade is
    underway with surface elves.

-8000/

    Founding of Semberholme in the Elven Court.

-7950/

    --Full trade exists between the dwarves of Deep Shanatar and the elves of Darthiir, Tethir,
    and the dwindling remnants of Shantel Otheier.

c.-7800/

    --The Great Arrival: A large force of djinn (known as the Djen) led by the djinni lord
    Calim arrive in the areas around present-day Calimport, along with a large force of
    servants and a few slaves, mostly humans and halflings. Within months of the arrival, the
    spires of Calimport rise above the plains and woodlands of southern Faerun. The Djen
    quickly clear and seize all the lands south and west of the Marching Mountains; the Calim
    empire has begun.

-7790/

    --The Dragon Wars: Calimport falls before a flight of dragons. The djinni lord Calim
    begins a century-long campaign against the dragons of the Marching Mountains. By its end,
    every dragon in the mountains dies at the hands and magics of the Djen. The genies' magic
    rebuilds Calimport within a year of its initial destruction.

-7700/

    --Start of the Second Rysar of Uvaeren.

-7690/

    --The djinni lord Calim reaches an accord with the elves and dwarves and the borders of
    his empire halt at the southern banks of the River Agis and encompass all the lands south
    and east to the western slopes of the present-day Alimir Mountains. Calim continues
    warring with the giants and dragons of the Marching Mountains.

-7687/

    --Ajhuu, a greater marid, breaks away and establishes a realm within Calim's lands while
    the noble djinni is away. On Calim's reutrn, the Steam Clashes begin between them.
    Creation of the Maridflow and Hajluar's Falls (present-day: Azure Falls) in the Alimir
    Mountains.

-7684/

    --The Shattering: With this event, the Steam Clashes end and Ajhuu and his rebels are
    destroyed. The coastline between the mouth of the River of Ice and the southern tip of the
    Alimir range is forever changed, and the Spider Swamp comes into being.

    are founded as dwarves flee the constant warfare enveloping Shanatar.
    --The First Kingdom of Mir is founded in the lands west of the Darthiir Woods and south

c.-4700

    --Eaerlann rises among the ruins of Aryvandaar due to the efforts of young elven nobles
    from Sharrven. Their interests in restoring the elder realm while also allying with the

    to preventing the elves of Siluvanede from doing the same and repeating the same mistakes
    of the past.

c.-4500

    --The Seven Citadels' War: Skirmishes break out between the elite forces of Siluvanede

    they had to array against Netheril.

    empire of Cormanthyr grew out of this age. Rather than stand alone, the elves chose to join
    with the good races against the orcs and other dangers, leading to the greatest era of
