Yet life goes on in Faerun as it always does. Adventurers wander the land, seeking ancient treasures or a dragon's hoard. Kings fight to defend their small kingdoms against orc raiders.
Our former board crashed, but our new one is up and running!

The family Obarskyr, the ruling monarchy of Cormyr still weeps the passing of King Azoun IV. The great king has died leaving prince Azoun V to rule, but he is just an infant. Princess Alusair has assumed the throne, ruling Cormyr as regent until her sapling nephew matures. In the wake of a humanoid invasion the City of Arabel (one of Cormyrs finest cities) still lays mostly in ashes. The monarchy of Cormyr and the City of Arabel have been rampaged. Many towns and fortresses lay smouldering and destroyed by humanoid armies. The army of humanoids, re-enforced by cadres of Zhentarim spies and Red Wizards has been snapped under the heel of Cormyrs army. Led by the Purple Dragon Knights the lands of Cormyr have won their first major battles of the war. The royal family Obarskyr, and all the lands of Cormyr face their darkest hour.
The humanoid invaders have been mostly dispatched to the forests and the hills. Humanoid raids upon the common lands of Cormyr remain quite frequent. Darker forces threaten to emerge and strike while the Cormyr flounders to recover from the recent invasions. Zhentarim spies, Red Wizards, humanoid warlords, undead and worse still roam the fertile lands of Cormyr. With the temporary decline of the crown, enemies have emerged to challenge the authority of the Steel Regent. The order of knights called the Purple Dragons who are sworn to protect the crown, are scattered about the countryside scarcely able to maintain order in the lands.
The Darkhold, Zhentarim seat of power in the region, lays to the west pressing it's forces into the lands of Cormyr. They seek to wrestle away the grip of order, benefit from the greed of local authorities and otherwise wreak havoc upon the lands in order to fill their purses with Cormyr's riches. Many townships have fallen into anarchy. Many provinces fueled by the greed of local warlords teeter on the brink of secession. The Zhent see and feel the fortunes of opportunity headed their way.
Your adventure begins in the village of Isinhold, the southern-most settlement inside of Cormyr. Once an elvish stronghold established to prevent the flow of humanoids between two mountain chains passes, the area now is home to the prodigious race of humans. This area has also ravaged by the humanoid hordes, but has always been acustomed to the rougher ways of the world, and has similarly quickly recovered. As of now the main economy of the region is supplying adventurers who are flowing in from surrounding countries, territories or sometimes simply refugees from embattled lands. It is not unheard of to see travelers from all across the Faerun pass through Isinhold. Adventurers are needed to thin the ranks of the enemies that face Cormyr. Will you rise to the challenge?
