Netherese

Netheril was the ancient, magocratic human empire of Faerûn, whose influence was felt across the Realms for thousands of years.

The Netherese were the ethnic group of dark-haired, fair-skinned humans that resided in the Netheril. Many cultures and ethnic groups in Faerûn were either descendants or absorbed into the Netherese people. The Netherese lived in a strict hierarchy for hundreds of years, split into the nobles of High Netheril, living in flying enclaves miles above Toril, and the commoners of Low Netheril settled in demesnes on the coast of the Narrow Sea.

The High Netherese language of Loross is considered a dead language.

§	Interactions
10	Dzaantold the Crew about the history of the Netherese and his search for Netherese objects. The Empire of Netheril arose more than five thousand years ago. The Netherese legacy began with the discovery of the Nether Scrolls. These long, golden scrolls taught Netherese arcanists how to wield magic beyond their wildest fantasies. Much more powerful than any living Wizard. They became a wizard ruling class. Eventually the empire collapsed. Lots of different stories about why. But something tore the Weave and without great magic to keep them aloft, the flying cities of Netheril crashed to the ground. Today a lot of magic items are actually netherese objects, including the Ioun Stone of Awareness worn by Bragnar, made by the arcanist Ioun over two thousand years ago. He asks the Crew that if they learn anything about the Netherese artifacts to tell him. He'll make it worth their while. He warned Bragnar that people would happily kill himm for the Ring of Material Assessment.
