This vanished realm was a short-lived
effort to stem the demi-human decline
in the North by uniting the remaining
elves of Eaerlann, the dwarves outside
of Delzoun and humans in a common
realm. Though noble in purpose, it never
had a solid unity and was smashed
out of existence by the repeated attacks
of vast orc hordes. Even so, the orcs
were slaughtered too and driven back
north for many generations. The Mere
of Dead Men (see chapter 7) is the site of
the last clash of this conflict.

The Kingdom had many names, but
the "real one" is lost with time. Now the
term "The Fallen Kingdom" refers to
the rolling wilderlands due east of
Waterdeep. Present day remnants
include Ardeep Forest, Castle
Zundbridge, the ruins of The Stone
House, and the predecessor to the town
of Secomber.

This now-vanished realm was a short-lived
effort to stem the demi-human decline in the
North by uniting elves and dwarves and
humans in a common realm. The realm was
smashed by the repeated attacks of vast orc
hordes, although the slaughter done to the
orcs drove them back north for some generations.
The Fallen Kingdom had many names;
the "real one" is lost with time, among the
names of its various districts (such as Ardeep).
The term "Fallen Kingdom" today refers to the
rolling wilderlands due east to the City of
Splendors, although this was only the northwest
end of the long-ago united realm.
