King Duar Obarskyr was a king of Cormyr. He took an army to the King's Forest to battle the orc invaders but while he was gone, his father-in-law, Melineth Turcasson, sold the city of Suzail to pirates for the price of 500 sacks of gold. Duar destroyed the orcs, but when he returned to Suzail in 429 DR, he was barred from entering, and the betrayal of Melineth almost broke him. A price was put on Duar's head by Magrath the Minotaur but there were few who would try to redeem it. Duar would go on to defeat Magrath and reclaim the city.
