[17 AR] The Grove Enters the Third Sharran War
The Sharran’s of the Black Citadel launch a surprise attack against the Heartwood Grove, killing Clarissa and the forest dryads. The Grove under the leadership of Archdruid Wilm, which had taken a neutral stance in the war, formally joins the conflict.
[58 AR] The Cull
The Talonian faction within the Heartwood Grove made a blight and unleashed it on Cordor in an effort to "Cull" its population. The plague manifested itself in the form of diseased cloth items and carrier vermin. The plague would eventually be countered.
[60 AR]
Anenden the Archdruid passes away and Evelynyha Verawyn is elected the new Archdruid of the Grove.
[88 AR]
Navira ended her first tenure as Archdruid to return to the mainland, but not before being introduced to Kregor who was a squire to the Knight Sir Caelyn of the Broken Circle, which was itself a homage to the Forsworn.
[89 AR]
Yana (Mother Bear) becomes Archdruidess, until the coup attempt by Cassima in 94 AR.
[94 AR] Grove Coup
Cassima attempted a coup of the Grove during the Underdarks Flood Crisis of which she sought to take advantage by citing the Heartwood inaction in regards to the event. Initially she approached the Bramble Watch as likely allies, but their leader Kregor rejected her proposition. Cassima instead counted upon her known allies in the power grab, the Malarite Tamarie and the Black Archer Asherrin La'farra. In a reign that lasted two tendays, she declared herself Archdruid during her so-called moot, and spilled the blood of a dissenter to her claim. However, the Bramble Watch and Heartwood factions convened a second moot to officially name a new Archdruid. While Mila was the initial pick of Yana as an appointment to the position, the resounding voice from the Bramble Watch called for Navira to reclaim the mantle. Thus, she was named and Yana officially stepped down from the title. Cassima was conspicuously absent from the moot with rumors spreading that she had met an untimely end at the hand of some unknown circumstance. The truth, as is often the case, is lost to time.
[176 AR] Grove's Corruption
After reaching the Grove's Heartstone through a portal, The criminal organization known as The Syndicate temporarily corrupted it with the black blood of undeath, a willing sacrifice, and twisted necromantic magic.
