History
In the early 1440's DR, the city state of Assam was taken control by a high elf male named Vallemere Zolle as the cities around it started to fall apart. He took control of the usually merchant controlled city with the support of the Beholder Ilum of Ormath in secret. This city thrived in trade and diversity and in the black market, growing into a history of goblin slave trade.
Vallemere Zolle and Assam would join the Coalition of the Tor in the year 1498 DR. Driving our the Turmish humans even more and eventually being there for the official announcement of the Beholder Ilum in power who had been in the shadows ruling. He would be one of the greatest allies of the coalition in the early days providing labor and money to the empire. However, his rule would come to an end after an attack on the Empress Alara's life in the early days of 1529 DR officially being exiled. Hinteyo Ceallaoilin was a stark supporter of Alara's rule and known for his persuassive skills.
