Forces from this alliance occupied Lurien, and all of the Chultish Peninsula.  The beholder nations of the Lake of Steam conquered all the small nations around them, then allied with the Halruaa-Dambrath-Var the Golden confederation.  Between them, they occupied most of the Shaar.  This region would come to be known as the Magocracy.  Later, it would become Zouron's Magocracy.  Thay joined the Technomancy, and Thesk - fearful of the Humanoid Alliance and threatened by Thay - also joined the Technomancy.    Waterdeep, Luruar, Shadowdale, and Aglarond formed their own alliance, known as the Nations of the Chosen, in mutual self protection.  Nimbral was overrun by Angelic Forces and became Hope Island.  The Moonshae Isles were contested.  Evermeet, faced a vast threat from the Humanoid Alliance.  The dragons, faerie, and other powers of Faerun were pulled into the increasingly uproarous situation.  Finally, much of Zakhara, the Land of Fate, allied with the Technomancy, while the Hordelands declared war on both Technomancy and Humanoid Alliance.</blockquote>
