What is known about the city Ylraphon and the neighbouring The Flooded Forest? It is located North East of The Dragon Reach Sea. I am curious about it's history, alignment, inhabitants any significant events that have occurred there.

See the Ol' Grey Box and Ed's City of Ravens Bluff. Ylraphon's featured at the beginning of the novel The Rage as well -- and Dragons of Faerūn refers to this.

For those that might not have the Grey Box:
"YLRAPHON (Ee-ul-RAFF-on)
AT A GLANCE: Ylraphon is a small, dale-like town on the northern end of the Dragon Reach. Its people are similar in nature to the Dalesmen and may be an early settlement of the same stock that did not cross the River Lis and settle at edges of the Trees of The Elven Court."
EDIT:
As a side note, I often played it as a poor cousin to Calaunt, or at least a bullied cousin of the same. While not outright conquered or controlled by Calaunt, anyone from Ylraphon would most likely have gone to Calaunt for "big city goods" and been treated rather poorly. I decided this simply because there is no road from Ylraphon to anywhere else, and so even such a trip would have been by going along the shoreline in a small boat perhaps for the safest trip...or along the shore afoot for a more dangerous trip near mountains that could have anything in them.
I did have a friend who played in one of my highschool era games decide to conquer Ylraphon and use it as his capital. I don't remember much else. |

"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."
