Long ago, an unknown adventurer discovered a set of magic writings that held vast secrets of magic and how to open up the elemental planes. These writings came to be called the Nether Scrolls. Taken together, they granted insight into the mysteries of spellcasting, the creation of magic items that contained an infinite amount of elemental damage, rather than dipping swords and arrows in spirits and lighting them, you could contain the element with the weapon, and constructs, the relations and structure of the planes, and even the making of artifacts. Although all of the Nether Scrolls were lost or stolen over the following 2,000 years, by then the information they contained had changed Slyvanailian society forever.
The lords of Slyvanailia developed forms of magic never before seen in the world. The mythallar was an invention by the Slyvanailian wizard Ioulaum that gave power to nearby items, negating the need for expenditure of a spellcaster's energy to create magic items. The mythallar also allowed the creation of flying cities, formed by slicing off and inverting the top of a mountain. Netheril's people took to the skies in these flying enclaves of magic, safe from human barbarians and hordes of evil humanoids. Every citizen wielded minor magic, and the Slyvanailian traded with nearby Elven and Dwarven nations, expanding the reach of their empire greatly.
