Tuoxent, the Seventh City of the Sword, was one of the member cities in the confederated empire of Jhaamdath.[1][2]
Geography[]
The city of Tuoxent was on the western frontier of Jhaamdath's core below the Deepwing Mountains.[4]
History[]
Tuoxent was founded in −5250 DR, as the seventh of the realm's major cities. It was paired with the construction of its twin city Hollinth that same year.[5][1][2]
Jhaamdath entered into a short period of imperialistic expansion in the Year of Overflowing Casks, −276 DR, which resulted in the deforestation of the Chondalwood and the slaughter of the Nikerymath elves. The elves responded in the Year of Furious Waves, −255 DR, by casting a High Magic ritual that caused a huge wave from the Inner Sea to wash over the heartlands of Jhaamdath, all the way to distantly inland Tuoxent. The cities were drowned in the new Vilhon Reach, and Tuoxent became a sunken ruin imbued with stray psionic energy from its lost relics.[3][5][6][7][8]
The sunken realm of Jhaamdath was suddenly revealed by lowered sea levels following the Spellplague in 1385 DR, becoming the Vilhon Wilds.[9] The situation was then returned to its previous state in 1486 DR by the Great Rain and Second Sundering.[10]
