Finally, north of Suzail in the , King Moriann Obarskyr led the armies of Cormyr into battle against the Hlundadim goblins. The goblins were defeated and forced into the Stonelands.
===Aftermath===
Victory was a costly one for Cormyr: Moriann's two sons and heirs were killed in the fighting, and the king himself died the following year whilst at a feast celebrating the victory. He was succeeded by his brother, Tharyann the Elder.
The knight Varanth, "Thundersword", a loyal companion of King Moriann, was one of the first deaths of the war, and was followed into the grave by five of his sons. The sixth and surviving son was a popular young knight named Rayn, who claimed inheritance of his father's sword, Symylazarr, which had been taken up by Moriann during the war and was almost buried with the king. Tharyann, not yet even crowned, agreed so as not to anger the people. A tenday later, Rayn returned and pledged his fealty to the now King Tharyann, laying Symylazarr at his feet. The king ennobled Rayn as the first Lord Thundersword, while Symylazarr was adopted by the Obarskyrs for knighting and oaths of fealty as Moriann had used it during the war.
During the conflict, the Alsevir family was also raised to the nobility.
