More micro Im only doing a few years but it will give info on a day by day basis Im using the format that Wizards used for the Timeline on page 170 of PGTF
By the I think theres a problem with the realms date given for Eds Tears so white short story in Realms of Elves |

Hello-
Yes, I would be interested in this - as it would be the time my campaign would be entering as I move forward. I went w/ the starting year in the FRCS, and used Midsummer/Shieldmeet as the starting dates.

I am collecting the D&D Minis. I would be more than willing to trade with people. You can send me a PM here with your email listed - and I can send you my minis list. Thanks!
Successfully traded with Xysma! |

| I'd definitely be interested in this. I've read neary all the recent novels, but always get confused about when I can slip knowledge and news about these into my campaign. I mean, the novels really don't come out in chronological order, but tend to spring back and forth in the FR-timeline. Please tell us, what books in particular would you like to include? Possibly some of your compiled dates could be used by Brian in his Grand Historywhich doesn't incorporate all novels published so far? |

So far Ive compiled the following list of novels that are date stamped at the begining of the Chapters
Last Mythal Trilogy
Year of Rogue Dragon Trilogy
Blackstaff
Ghostwalker
The Crimson Gold
Venoms Taste (But not the other bokks in the trilogy)
Realms of Elves
Realms of Dragons
There are a number of important events that I need dates for
Warning spoilers below!!!
The date when Sojourner used the Weave Tap in Skullport (Paul Kemp)
The date when Lolth started granting spells again (WODQ authors)
The date when Llorkh was overun/destroyed (Murray Leeder) |

So you are including the events from Son of Thunderas well. What about the other two books in the Fighters series, Bladesinger and Master of Chains
And if you are including The Crimson Gold, what about the rest of the rogues series, or Sembia series or even Priests series? I don't know which of them are date stamped at the beginning of a chapter, but some events might be worth being mentioned in the timeline. |

| I am cetainly looking forward to it. |
We have fostered trust, recruited loyalty, and gathered the faithful. We have trained thousands. Our legions can cover the land, fill the sky and travel through the darkness. We can hunt any and all that would deny our heritage. Now is our time, now is the time of the Dark Reign(Rain) of the Empire of Shadows.

Unfortunatly only a minority of FR novels are Date stamped
Only the following
Last Mythal Trilogy
Year of Rogue Dragon Trilogy
Blackstaff
Ghostwalker
The Crimson Gold
Venoms Taste (But not the other bokks in the trilogy)
Realms of Elves
Realms of Dragons
For the others Im going to have to ask the various authors if they can provide event dates for their novels. Some authors like Voronica are no longer with us (by which I mean no longer posting at candlekeep) like Voronica so Crimison Gold will be a very difficult one to do as the novels arent dated and the authors not contactable

The Waterdeep sourcebook for 3.5e mentions the events from Paul's first or second novel in the Skullport section, so that should be able to answer the date for the Skullport events.
If you don't have that sourcebook, I'll look it up. |

If you're going to do this, can you please include citations (e.g. Temptation of Elminster (hardcover), page 123).
Thanks,

That would be great...do the page numbers in paperback correspond with the hardcover versions? |

No, the mass-market paperbacks are re-set. I think the point is the timeline should ideally note which editions are being referred to. |

If your refering to the Skullport section of City of Splendors unfortuntly it doesnt provide any dates |

I assumed it was the same date as the dates in that sourcebook.... so around 1372 or 1373..... But Eric could answer that better then I can. :) |

Please ask Paul Kemp directly for the exact dates on his books. He and I worked them out before I finished CoS:W, which is set in 1374 DR at Shieldmeet.

just finishing up PoF and Last Mythal
Spoilers ahead
Several scribes where wondering why the Lathanderites didnt help the crusade or at the very least help protect Lathanders temple in Myth Drannor. Well theres a reason, books 2 and 3 of Last Mythal occur splat bang in the middle of the Risen Sun Heresy campaign arc in PoF |

Given that I was just reading that section of Power of Faerun last night, I have to say, good eye Dargoth. I was reading it and thinking, "I wonder what else is going on right now" and it didn't even click until you said that. |
