the lost empires of faerun and grand history of the realms would hold what you seek.
finding a copy, not much.
but my memory isnt that great on the subject, and my dog is sleeping in front of them( know what they say about sleeping dogs). created when a lich flooded the area. |
why is being a wizard like being a drow? both are likely to find a dagger in the back from a rival or one looking to further his own goals, fame and power

There was also the adventure series of modules in the old printed DUNGEON Magazine -- [#69, 70, 71, 72 and 73] -- that contain some info as well. And, also, a DRAGON article on the Mere, from #258.

Well, as I was just saying on my Facebook page, I'm currently tinkering around with some possible Candlekeep 2 aspects at the moment. But, ultimately, Alaundo has the final say. So, when he's ready... Heh. 
In the meantime, it might be worth running the forum scripting tables again, to update the post registries. |

The last adventure in the series - Eye of Myrkul - has a sidebar with a very detailed historical summary of the Mere. It really covers everything from the very early ages of the Uth-Kingdom to the time after the time of troubles.
I could well imagine that's exactly what you are looking for.

That's the article in particular that I'm looking for too... issue #73, you say... I'll have to keep my eyes open for a used copy somewhere. Thanks!  |

Aye, that's the one - to be precise: DrM #73, p. 22-53 (history-relevant info will be found on p. 23 - 27).
Good luck in hunting it down,

"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."

I note that much of this information is found in Eric's "Eye of Myrkul" adventure in Dungeon which you say you have.
Okay, the lands north of Waterdeep were elven (the realms of Iliyanbruen and Rilithar) - with the exception of the city of Illusk - until about 64DR when settlement of the Twilit Lands (the are north of Waterdeep and south of Neverwinter) by the Northmen began in earnest.
In 87DR the Northmen found Eigersstor (present-day Neverwinter) then Grath's Hold (present-day Port Llast) is settled in 127DR and Uthtower is settled in 146DR. In 191DR Uthtower splits into Uthtower and Yarlith.
The rest of the history of the North is well mapped out in LEoF and GHotR. I have a feeling I haven't answered your question properly, but I'd appreciate it if you made it clear what information you are after exactly.

I have the dates for Eigersstor and Grath's Hold... where are the dates for Uthtower from? That aforementioned elusive article? |
