Can anybody give me a brief synopsis of what has happened in post-civil war Tethyr?... Everything I've found so far goes up to the rebellion and that's it...

Things got better.
That a brief enough synopsis for you? 
Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Who suggests you go round up the Lands of Intrigue download from the WotC site for more...
PS: If you're looking for more info than that, pop on over to my folder and we'll natter a bit. |

There's always one in every group... and usually, it's Wooly. Only this time it's Sage Schend  .

Additionally, Steven has already dropped the odd tidbit or three about the situation in Tethyr post-war. I suggest you perform a search here at Candlekeep... you're sure to come up with some informative scrolls.

Well, they say great minds think alike... It doesn't explain this one, but it's something people say. |

| Doh!... I had thought that the whole civil war thing was ALOT more recent... Guess I'll have to finish going thru the Lands of Intrigue stuff before I think up anymore questions... Thanks! |

Nah. The whole civil war thing was set in place by Scott Haring in the 1988 FR3 supplement Empire of the Sands. I just took the plot threads from that (and every other source, for which I feel the need to thank the dozens of fans from the old FR-list who helped dig up EVERY reference to Tethyr and Amn at that time) and wove them together with stuff from the then-recent WAR IN TETHYR novel. Add all those elements, lather, rinse, and you've got a brand-new feudal country answerable to gods and its peoples....and (I think) a lot more adventure potential than just lawlessness and land-grabbing.
So pop on over to my board when you have more questions on Tethyr or Amn or Calimshan, as you'll need to read up Empires of the Shining Sea to get ALL the history around that area. They're all intertwined too much historically to ignore...

By the by, little Tethyr tid-bits that're unofficial unless I can figure out ways to drop them into the novel....
Zelphar Thann and Perendra got married in 1371, and their first-born was a son--Kheldrak--born 4 Nightal 1372. Perendra is heavily pregnant with their second child, whom she knows to be a girl. ("Doubt me not; mages know...") In deference to her husband's mother, she is to be named Cassandra Thann (the Younger). Perendra expects to deliver her daughter in mid-Nightal.
Probably not stuff you can use for your campaign (unless ye've Shadow Thieves gunning for Thanns for revenge), but an idea that's been rattling about my skull.... |
