in characters in Cormyr are Baureble, King Azoun IV, Vangerdahast, Princess Tanalasta, Aunadar Bleth. Baureble is the founding wizard of Cormyr, he is the first to settle the land and the first to make peace with the elves. Azoun IV, the king of Cormyr, is a lesser character in the story because he appears infrequently. Azoun seems to be one of the only characters that does really change throughout the story.

Before he was cannibalized, a group of elves attack and destroy the cannibals. The elves spare the wizards life believing that he is not one of the savages that were obliterating the forest homeland. The wizard, Baureble, introduced himself and begged to be taken in by the elves. After some convincing, the elves took him in as their own. Baureble soon became a respe...
