History

Some allege that the queen of Cyre insulted Shaeras Vadallia , leader of Cyre's elf mercenaries, and this incited him to annex part of Cyre and found the nation of Valenar in 956 YK . However, it seems more likely the desire for a greater challenge or mere boredom that drove him. [5] [6] [note 1]

Notes

  1. While the Dragonshards article "The Elves of Valenar, Part 1" refers to "the young Queen Mishala", no other source is known to mention her. Instead, the Eberron Campaign Guide page 163 refers only to "the Queen of Cyre" in the same alleged incident. As Dragonshards has many discrepancies from later sourcebooks, this article assumes Mishala should be Dannel, the reigning queen at the time of the annexation, though there may be many other possibilities.
