1384 Year of the Three Streams Blooded
Siamorphe quarrels with Tyr when the deities take different sides in a
clash between Tethyrian and Calimsh!te forces. She removes herself from
the House of the Triad and joins Sune’s court in Brightwater. Tyr sends
Helm to plead his case with Sune. The goddess of love suggests a marriage
between Tyr and Tymora to set the celestial planes in balance again. Helm
conveys Sune’s suggestion to Tyr, and begins to chaperone a chaste courtship
between Tyr and Tymora. Strange and fateful misunderstandings lead to the
accusation that Helm has stolen Tymora’s heart while conveying the gifts
and sentiments of Tyr. A strict interpretation of his own ideals forces Tyr
to challenge Helm, and Helm is obliged by his own ideals to meet the challenge.
The two gods do battle, and Tyr slays Helm before the deities come
to their senses. Heartbroken, Tymora accompanies Tyr back to the House
of the Triad. Though nothing can be proved, the gods sense the hand of
Cyric in Helm’s death.
— With the Triad broken because of Helm’s death, Ilmater chooses to remove
his domain from the House of the Triad. He reestablishes his celestial realm
in Brightwater at Sune’s invitation.
1385 DR Year of Blue Fire
Unthinkable catastrophe ensues when Cyric, aided and abetted by Shar, murders
Mystra in Dweomerheart. The plane itself disintegrates at once, destroying
Savras and sending the gods Azuth and Velsharoon reeling into the endless
Astral Plane. Without Mystra to govern the Weave, magic bursts its bonds
all across Faerûn and the surrounding planes and runs wild. In Faerûn, this
event is known as the Spellplague. Thousands of mages are driven insane or
destroyed, and the very substance of the world becomes mutable beneath veils
of azure fire that dance across the skies by night or by day.
Many planes are shifted or destroyed as well. Only greater deities prove
strong enough to maintain their realms against the resultant chaos. Tyr,
Lathander, and Sune move against Cyric and successfully imprison the Black
Sun in his Supreme Throne, under a sentence of house arrest to last one
thousand years.
Sages in centuries to come mark the Weave’s destruction in the Year of
Blue Fire as the end of the old world, and the terrible beginning of the new.
