'''Netheril''', or the '''Empire of Magic''', was a historic human empire in the [[Forgotten Realms]] campaign setting. Aside from the empire of High Imaskar, it is held by scholars of the modern Realms as an example of the heights that Mankind might reach, as well as how hubris can bring down even the mightiest of empires.

Refugees from the fall of the empire due to [[Karsus]]' folly eventually travelled south and founded the state of Halruaa, while the enclaves of Shade (who worshipped [[Shar]]) and Opus (who worshipped [[Selune]]) were traveling the planes when the disaster struck.

Seriously, if one thought that the Realms had ridiculous power scaling as far as wizards went, read the sourcebook Netheril: Empire of Magic. On average, the NPCs presented are in the mid-20s in levels, and Karsus himself weighed in at '''level 41'''. That's how insane it is.
