Toril

Toril (pronounced: /toʊˈrɪl/ toh-RILL or: /tɔːrˈrɪl/ tor-RILL listen) was the third planet from the Sun in Realmspace. It was orbited by one moon named Selûne, and by a cluster of asteroids, known as the Tears of Selûne.   Throughout most of its history, Toril was known less commonly as Abeir-Toril. The name "Abeir-Toril" was archaic, meaning "cradle of life" in an extinct and forgotten language. Since the Spellplague and the revelation of the existence of a planetary sibling known as Abeir, and the fact that both Abeir and Toril were once united, the latter name came to informally mean the formerly united worlds of Abeir and Toril.   The Orb of Toril holds this world in current times. 1492DR, the Year of Three Ships Sailing. is the year in which the orb is "frozen" at the final stages of its destruction as it seems the machinations of many groups finally came to fruition and would ultimately destroy the world. Moments before its destruction it became the orb and popped up in another dimension/realm/time.... just to finally find its way to Dierde.   Many of the societies on Toril can trace their paths, if they were to actually take the time to study the best of data, back to peoples of Toril who either came here willingly, like the Netherese, or unwillingly, like some other Netherese and most others who came here.
