Hello,

I am considering Cormyr's past. It was called the Forest Kingdom/Country, or the Lithtlorn/ Wolf Woods before that.

What different States/Principalities/Counties occupied the land that "contemporary" (14th/15th century) Cormyr consists of?

I am mainly interested in the various elven partitions of the forest, in the distant past- as back as Arcorar, as well as after the formation of Cormanthyr. It is implied in various sources that what elven states were within that area, where vassals or dependencies of Cormanthyr.

I know of Orva being there, but that was mostly situated where the Vast Swamp is. What about the rest of the Forest Kingdom's expanse?

Was Elfhold/Elfmount (in the Hullack Forest) part of an Elven state?

The houses of Amaratharr, Nelnueve and Keone are mentioned as elven noble houses of Cormyr's distant past. Are there any particular areas or political formations these houses were part of?

Are there any other elven noble houses related to that particular geographical region?


Thank you in advance

Hello Mordriel,

Given the references you've mentioned, I'm pretty sure you've been thorough in your research. So unless any other sages come through with a scroll or two from the archives, either Ed or Brian Cortijo would be your next best bet for such information, with asking Ed via Twitter or Patreon probably the "best" route for an answer (Brian does answer a Cormyr question or two on Ed's Discord from time to time, but he's not so public facing like Ed, so I can't recommend to @ him; maybe put your queries in the #Cormyr channel and see if there's any response).

If you're asking specifically about the region during the age of Cormanthyr you might also try asking Steven Schend through the Discord, though he would probably defer any answer to Ed or Brian as well.
