	H'catha is inhabited by several hives of [[beholder]]s, doing what they do best. What they are also fighting over, in addition to the typical beholder-on-beholder race wars, is over the hundreds of hundreds of hidden mind-readying stations supposedly created by the beholder gods and tasked to the original hive before the civil war to use H'catha to gather all knowledge in existence and impart it into a living mind. You do need to be big-brained not to go crazy if you do gain ultimate knowledge. The Bartender, Large Luigi, is the only beholder to ever "gain complete knowledge of everything", and that made him a pretty chill guy living on the [[Rock of Bral]].

	A common theme of the continent, (as the others like [[Kara-Tur]] and [[Zakhara]] were original and currently treated as separate D&D worlds), is how littered the region is with the remains of long-dead temples, towns, cities, and civilizations whose existence has mostly washed from memory with the passing of time (Forgotten Realms TM). Rarely does this happen by mundane real-life means like profits drying up or being conquered by a neighbor. It always has to be the fault of some Fiend, power-hungry Mage(s), and/or adventuring party, with a notable percentage of the previous occupants dying in some horrific manner, often with a Horde of orcs being somehow involved that has come to raid and raze the place before, during or after the incident.

	In 1485, the worlds of [[Abeir]] and Toril split apart again, as WoTC tried to desperately bring back the Faerun grognards by [[retcon\|retconning]] the Spellplague. It turns out being stabbed wasn't in fact enough to kill Mystra, she was just hungry and had wandered off to find a cheeseburger made of her own children.

	This event was known as the 'Sundering' but the writers didn't want to piss off the fans, so they held off explaining what the fuck happened until the fans could tell them what, in their opinion, should have happened. While waiting to be told how to do their jobs, dragons attacked everyone, trying to rescue [[Tiamat]] from [[Baator\|Hell]] where she had in fact NOT been since before the Spellplague but because she was there in every other setting, we're all supposed to pretend that she was, so mighty adventurers can stop her from escaping in a linear story which was easier than the likes of the first time this asspull was pulled with Bloodstone Pass,''' Fuck you [[Bahamut]]'''.
