[QUOTE="dazzlerdal, post: 7914880, member: 6695391"] Looking at Espar again. Still fairly certain that Esparin was founded in the wake of a migration of people from the Western Heartlands coming through High Horn Pass in the Year of the Dracorage (1018 DR). The mountain passes would have been guarded at any other time and High Horn the fortress was hit during that year by dragons. That gives enough time for Espar to be founded as a settlement in north eastern Cormyr and for Elminster to select the Wanderers of Espar to refound the Harpers. As Esparin grows Arabel secedes from Cormyr (emboldened perhaps by the rebel state) and is later reconquered in 1050 DR by Azoun II. It says that King Proster ignored Espar in one of Ed's quotes, but King Baerovus gave battle to them at every opportunity. I figure it is during King Baerovus' time that the capital of Esparin (i guess it was near Arabel) was razed by Baerovus and his army. 1135 DR is the Year of the Petulant Dragon and seems like a good named date in Baerovus' reign. Then the capital of Esparin is moved to Yerespar (renamed Espar) in time for Palaghard to wed Enchara. [/QUOTE]
