After the last conflict in - 31000 DR between god s and primordials , Maegera , tired of fighting and uninterested in following its fellow primordials to the world of Abeir , entered in a comma - like sleep beneath the Crags in Northwest Faerûn . Between - 22900 DR and 1100 DR , Maegera was discovered by the dwarves of Delzoun . Seeing the danger posed by the primordial , the dwarves trapped it in the Fiery Pit in Gauntlgrym , a large chasm filled with magma , and left it alone . Delzoun sealed the tunnels and focused in expanding their empire . However , Maegera was rediscovered a few millennia later by the Illuskan wizard Maerin , who convinced the dwarves of Delzoun to use the power of the primordial to power their forges . Following Maerin ' s advice , the dwarves kept Maegera in a state of slumber and semi - consciousness by bound water elemental s , conjured by the Arcane Brotherhood . In 1452 DR , agents of Thay used a dwarf of Delzoun to pull a lever at the side of the fiery pit , closing the channels of water and allowing Maegera to stir and wake up , which caused Mount Hotenow to erupt , and the subsequent earthquakes destroyed the surrounding area , including the city of Neverwinter . Maegera was put back into its slumber by a group containing Drizzt Do ' Urden , Bruenor Battlehammer , and Jarlaxle Baenre , but they did not restore all of the water elementals since one of the summoning locations was broken . In 1479 DR , some powerful factions , such as the Thayans under the command of Valindra Shadowmantle and the Abolethic Sovereignty , were searching for ways to harness the power of Maegera .
