=== The Rise and Fall of Belah'dia ===
The dawn of the Sixth Astral Era saw a great suffering of magi. They had ruled the realm for an age, yet their arts had wrought great destruction, may people demanded that magic be forbidden outright. Naturally, all these even remotely proficient in spell-craft faced some form of persecution. Those few who used sorcery to protect themselves from the stones of fearful peasantry were often subject to greater retribution. The only path left to the magi was to flee and hide in the remote outskirts of civilization.

As time passed, bitter memories became history, and history legend. After several centuries, men had forgotten their fear of magic, and instead desired it anew as a means of military might. Thus, it was the Lalafellian heirs to the sorceries of Mhach- one of the civilizations of the Fifth Astral Era- who eventually sought to reclaim the rightful place of the magi. Banding together, they made for the wilds of Thanalan, and there used the arts of their forebears to find water flowing beneath the parched lands. What began as a well became a town, and grew into the nation of Belah'dia by the year 737.
