They were setting up Cormyr for 3rd Edition PnP, because it was getting too lawful and orderly. There's not much fun adventuring where things are too law-abiding, eh?
Don't worry, Cormyr survives, under the Steel Regent, and a certain sorceress named Caladnei, whom Vangerdahast has named as his successor in leading the War Wizards.
