Days of Thunder
From Forgotten Realms Wiki
The Days Of Thunder. This is the time of the fabled creator races, or Iqua-Tel’Quessir in the elven tongue, when many gods came to the consciousness of mortals, and many races still hid in caves. No mention can be found of elves, dwarves, and other races during most of this time. Still, their absence on ancient cave paintings is hardly sufficient evidence to say that they did not exist on Faerûn at this time.
- c. -35,000 DR
- Rise of the Sarrukh empires (Sauroid creator race).[1]
- The sarrukh Empire of Okoth is founded along the forested shores of the Azulduth, which was then the largest fresh-water lake in Faerûn. Within a hundred years, most of Faerûn was theirs.[1]
- c. -34,800 DR
- The sarrukh Empire of Mhairshaulk is founded on the Chultan Peninsula westward from the Lhairghal to the Jungles of Chult. The Mhairshaulkans are believed to have created nagas, pterafolk, troglodytes, and yuan-ti, as well as numerous other races long since lost.[1]
- c. -34,500 DR
- The sarrukh Empire of Isstosseffifil is founded in the lands now occupied by the desert Anauroch.[1]
- c. -34,100 DR
- Okoth falls following a century of civil unrest that drives many sarrukh to the planes.[1]
- c. -34000 DR

- c. -33,800 DR
- Fall of Isstosseffifil: In an effort to drown the Phaerlin (known today as the Buried Realms in the Underdark) and dispatch their enemies in one masterful stroke, Isstossef wizards rerouted the Narrow Sea so that it ran from east to west, inundating the land around the chain of hills known today as the Tagorlar with water. Although the Isstossef succeeded in driving the phaerimm deep into the Underdark, the massive ecological change resulting from their weavings of Art caused the Isstosseffifil empire to collapse.[1]
- c. -33,500 DR
- The sarrukh Empire of Mhairshaulk slides into decline from which it never recovers. Mhairshaulk increasingly becomes the preserve of the yuan-ti.[1]

- c. -31,000 DR
- Fall of the Batrachi Empires.[1]
