Today, the area is fought over by tribes of orcs and goblinoids; the most prominent among them is the Korinkathar.

The Kingdom of Man

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

Another realm unifying humans, dwarves, and elves, now fallen. The Kingdom of Man lasted only two brief generations, following the fall of Phalorm.

It was survived by seven “splinter kingdoms” known as Calandor, Ellermere, Harpshield, Loravatha, Scathril, Stonegard, and Talmost; all of these have also fallen.

Kanaglym

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

A city built long ago by dwarves. Kanaglym was absorbed into the Duchy of Hunnabar (part of Phalorm) while that realm prospered. Hunnabar fell to hobgoblins in 557 DR, but Kanaglym survived, due perhaps in part to its distance from the other cities. Kanaglym was assaulted again in 722 DR, this time by drow from Zanhoriloch. The dwarves not only successfully defended themselves, but pursued the drow through their portal and sacked Zanhoriloch. Unfortunately they were then trapped and unable to return to Kanaglym, and at some point after this Kanaglym was abandoned. A portal to Hades —the Fountain of Nepenthe— undoubtedly contributed to the decision to build a new home elsewhere.

As recently as 1255 DR, the cavern of Kanaglym remains reasonably intact; Daeros Dragonspear (who later founded Dragonspear Castle) emerged with a rich haul of gems stolen from a beholder lairing there. Midnight also walked through part of Kanaglym during the Time of Troubles in 1358 DR.

Kanaglym, Hunnabar, and Zanhoriloch (the drow version of it, anyway) are all now fallen realms.
