Old Somaria

Old Somaria is the name given to the polity which existed in what are now the Southern Realms three to two milennia prior to the Arrival of the Elves. This makes it one of the oldest civilisations to have ever existed, preceding the formation of the Dwarven Empire by over a milennia. Little to nothing is known about Old Somaria, as its writing system recorded on organic materials were not conserved through the aeons. It collapsed in the same century as the foundation of the Dwarven Empire for unknown reasons. Its capital was likely Farasuzhdaya, a conclusion made due to the important number of archeological artifacts related to administration found in the city and its surroundings.
