Fiend Wars

The Fiend Wars, were a series of conflicts in the 8 century DR, between the armies dedicated to the Triad and the demons of the Scaled Horde that invaded the realm of Impiltur.
==History==
In the , Impiltur was overrun by the demonic hordes led by the balor Ndulu. Ndulu was empowered by the Crown of Narfell, which was itself controlled by the malign demon prince Orcus. Settlements along the Easting Reach fell quickly, while only Milvarn managed to muster an organized defense. The king of Impiltur Forvar II, was slain and the royal Durlarven dynasty was ended. 
In response, the churches of Torm, Tyr, and Ilmater initiated what came to be known as the Triad Crusade. They gathered valorous warriors from across Faerûn, and rallied together under the leadership of the young paladin Sarshel Elethlim. 
After three years of occupation, Sarshel Elethlim led the combined armies of the Triad across the sea to the Easting Coast in the . They immediately engaged the forces of the Scaled Horde. any battles broke out over the course of the next two years. 
In the , Sarshel led his forces intot he Citadel of Conjurers to confront the balor Ndulu. He destroyed the Crown of Narfell, breaking Orcus' control over the Scaled Horde. Ndulu and the demons were forced to retreat. The Fiend Wars finally came to an end.While Champions of Valor states the war ended in 732 DR; Champions of Ruin, The Grand History of the Realms, and Dragon magazine 346 states it ended in 731 DR. 
==Outcomes==
While the demonic army was broken, not all of the fiends were eradicated. Those that remained retreated into the nearby Rawlinswood forest.
The Fiend Wars led to the formation of the Order of the Triad the year after the fighting ended. This knightly order served Impiltur for centuries, well into the Era of Upheaval.
