In this alternate version of the Forgotten realms, Netheril fell before the creation of Anauroch. However the cities were not destroyed in the fall, only the people of Netheril. The elves of Eaerlann and the dwarves of Delzoun captured the enclaves and held them for their own. The dwarves kept the mines and small villages and the elves kept the flying cities. Unfamiliar with Netherese magic, the elves relied on the mythallar to keep their cities afloat. The mythallar began to fail around the time of the laying of the mythal in Myth Drannor. The elves tied the mythallar into the mythal in Myth Drannor, supplying them with energy and time for the elves to study their magic. With the fall of Myth Drannor came the fall of the elven cities. However the elves managed to keep two cities afloat albeit at the cost of three elven archmages. The fall of the other cities caused huge magical explosions opening gates and portals to everywhere. Things began to come in through the gates and fight each other, ripping apart the landscape in the process. Eventually, through actions by Elminster and the Seven Sisters, the gates were closed. The sharn, malaugrym, and githzerai formed flying cities around the former gates. They allied with the two elven cities to form the Eaerlanni Confederation. They are ruled by the seventh Sister in a confederation.

This is all within a decade of the fall of Myth Drannor. The confederation sealed itself off with a giant illusion of a desert in order to pursue magical research without interruption. Only Mystra's Chosen and the Elven Court knew of the facade. Anyone entering the desert would be taken to the elven or sharn cities to live for the rest of their lives. The rest of history played out the same.

Then came the Time of Troubles. The magic hiding the confederation broke down when Myrkul was killed in Waterdeep. Midnight thought she dimesion-doored the remains of Myrkul over the sea but the spell went awry and the malaugrym city was struck by the explosion and destroyed, killing all the malaugrym.With only four focal points left, the spell withered. Now, in 1372 DR, the last remnants of the spell are gone and the confederation is revealed.

Eaerlanni Confederation is a AD&D PBeM set in the Forgotten Realms. I am currently looking for people to play. Send requests through Irony games.
