Founding of the Dargonesti

Drudarch led them in their break from the Dimernesti, and battled the Koalinths for control over their land in 1863 PC. This led to the founding of the sea elf nation of Watermere in 1862 PC, and that is when he took the title of Speaker of the Moon.

Human War

In 1538 PC, the Dargonesti declared war on the Humans living on the coral islands near their lands. The humans had killed four dolphins whom the Dargonesti were allied with. Instead of going for all out war against the humans, Drudarch had his armies attack only military targets. For this, the humans asked for peace. The two sides signed a peace and trade treaties from this in 1521 PC.

Sagarassi Problem

In 1320 PC, the Sea Witch, Sagarassi joined the dark forces of the Koalinths, Lacedons, Sea Dragons, and Amphidragons to attack Watermere. Drudarch formed an alliance of the Merfolk and humans living on their islands. Over the course of 120 years, the battle raged until dessent was brought upon the dark forces by Drudarch. They turned on each other and the Dargonesti armies attacked and drove them back. The Sea Witch escaped, but before Drudarch passed away he was able to see peace once again come to Watermere.
