Tymanther Tymanther was a displaced section of the Abeir an , militaristic dragonborn - ruled state of Tymanchebar . Tymanther was located in the " Old Empires " region that was once southern Unther . The bulk of the dragonborn population resided in its capital , the citadel - city of Djerad Thymar . Geography . Despite having been ripped from the world of Abeir , Tymanther was a relatively calm region of forests , mountains , and plains . Tymanchebar was literally dropped onto the Unther region , rather than being transposed like Akanûl to the north . The impact resulted in a desolate region full of Untheran ruins . Aside from a sizeable population of kobold s and the local fauna native to East Faerûn , some creatures native to Abeir inhabited the region , such as the scathebeast s . After the Second Sundering , Tymantheran territory was reduced to the lands near the Smoking Mountains and south of the River Alamber . < ref name = " TDYK / Hardcover - p483 - 484 " > < / ref > Government and military . Djerad Thymar was the seat of power for a highly militant dragonborn kingdom , struggling to make a name for themselves in the lands of Faerûn . Tymanther was ruled by the Vanquisher , who acted as both a monarch and a general . All citizens spent some time in the Lance Defenders , the kingdom ' s highly trained army , and the population was ever - ready to take up arms again should their country be threatened . Foreign relations . Tymanther was misunderstood as a nation and its trading partners were limited . It had good relations with High Imaskar and Chessenta . They held a deep mistrust of the dragon princes of Murghôm , believing they were only a step away from the tyrannical dragon empires of Abeir , and were openly hostile toward Akanûl , owing to a longstanding grudge with the genasi of that land and engaged in brief skirmishes with the land ' s military forces . As of 1489 DR , Tymanther was in an open war against the returned nation of Unther , as the god - king Gilgeam was adamant in his ambition to reclaim all of the former lands of Unther . Demographics . The bulk of Tymanther ' s population was composed by dragonborn , most of them descendants of the inhabitants of Tymanchebar , although a few dragonborn were also immigrants from Returned Abeir that had traveled to Tymanther to join the Thymari clans . < ref name = " TDYK / Hardcover - p313 " > < / ref > Although tieflings were a minority of the Tymantheran population , they were openly accepted by the dragonborn . Human s and dwarves also were a minority in the outlying Tymantheran settlements . After the Second Sundering , a minority of mulan i refugees who fled from Unther were also allowed to join the Tymantherans after they helped the dragonborn in their battle against the Untherans . Culture . The vast majority of thymari shared a common culture that was based on a sense of responsibility to their clans and had a militaristic lifestyle . History . In 1385 DR , during the Spellplague the Abeiran nation of Tymanchebar was dropped onto the region of Unther , whose kingdom in turn was transported to Abeir . The dragonborn of Djerad Thymar founded the kingdom of Tymanther in tribute to their lost brethren , and to the kingdom they believed they accidentally destroyed . During the Wailing Years , the dragonborn had to fight to survive in a land full of spellplague - mutated horrors , but they eventually tamed the land and prospered as a nation . < ref name = " TDYK / Hardcover - p460 " > < / ref > Around 1479 DR , Tymanther was making a name for itself with its small elite cadres of soldiers attacking well - known dragon lairs . Some of these troops returned as heroes , and they spread the reputation of Tymanther to the rest of Faerûn . Thymari dragonborn were sought out as skilled mercenaries by other Faerûnian nations . In 1479 DR , due to the plans of the " taaldaraxi " of Brimstone ' s " xorvintaal " , Tymanther was facing diplomatic problems with Chessenta and Akanûl . Although Tymanther sent an ambassador to try to solve the situation in a pacific manner , negotiations went bad , mostly because dragonborn were also allies of High Imaskar . The situation worsened when a group of abishai disguised as dragonborn began to kill Chessentan citizens . When the killers were discovered by the Brotherhood of the Griffon , the Thymari diplomatic delegation was kicked out of Chessenta , and the relationship between the two nations became delicate . At the same time , Tymanther had been battling against a coalition of ash giant tribes controlled by the green dragon Skuthosiin ( also one of the " taaldaraxi " ) , who launched a full scale invasion against the dragonborn nation and were gaining ground in each passing day after they began to use dragonspawn to bolster their numbers . The Lance Defenders were unable to stop their attacks , until the outcasts members of the Platinum Cadre lend their aid to the military . Taking advantage of the momentary victories , Vanquisher Tarhun led all the tymantheran military forces — Lance Defenders , Platinum Cadre , private clan ' s war bands — in a final , desperate battle against the giants . Although they suffered heavy losses , the Thymari were able to defeat the giant invading forces and , after the dragonborn wizard Biri uncovered Skuthosiin as the true mastermind of the giants , Vanquisher Tarhun ordered another joint military operation , this time to laid siege to Ashhold and to kill Skuthosiin , ending the giant threat to Tymanther . After the Battle of Luthcheq , Tymanther and Chessenta resumed diplomatic relations . On Nightal 26 of 1486 DR , as part of the Second Sundering , the lands of Unther that had been transported to Abeir by the Spellplague returned to Toril , while at the same time Tymanther was about to be returned to Abeir . The god Enlil returned to Toril the same day and prevented the process to some degree , < ref name = " AotT / Hardcover - p463 - 464 " > < / ref > but the dragonborn nation was reduced to Djerad Thymar , Djerad Kethendi and small holdings along the coast of the Alamber Sea and Ash Lake . < ref name = " TDYK / Hardcover - p32 " > < / ref > The Untherite immediately went to war with Tymanther , and tried to regain their former lands , but the dragonborn fiercely defended what little territory they had , triggering the First Tymanther - Unther War . < ref name = " TDYK / Hardcover - p109 - 115 " > < / ref > Although the Thymari won that war and expelled the Untherite forces from their territory , Gilgeam never relented from his ambition and , as of 1489 DR , both nations were waging another war .
